as this: Shall the senate continue I'M
changed it's existing rules which adj
mittedly make possible at times the
exercise by a minority or even one
senator of power to block the purpose
Of the majority of the senate to leg

ut is important that the senate's
rules give every senator a square deal
but it is imperative that they also give
the American people a square deal"
he added.
He insisted that the powers of SEN
ators in this regard are subversive to
the principles of representative and
constitutional government. He ap-
pealed to individuals to make known
their desires in this connection direct
to the senators themselves.
