Couldn't Keep Awake.
The democratic temper toward the
vice-president was demonstrated by
Senator T. H. Caraway, democrat, of
Arkansas, who said: Senators GER
tainly will be impressed with the pro-
posal of presiding Officer, who did
not know enough to organize the
senate properly and who couldn't keep
awake long enough to vote"
Senators of all faiths and shades
Of political opinion were united in op-
posing Dawes and his plan to change
the senate's rules.
Republicans Pan Dawes.
The attitude of administration lead
ers to the vice-presidents challenge
was indicated by Senator Wadsworth,
republican, of New York, who said:
'Mr. Dawes is welcome to come to
New York at any time. If l am nom
mated, he will find himself opposing
the republican candidate for senator
in New York. l welcome him."
The western reaction was ex-
pressed by Senator McNary, repub-
lican, of Oregon, who said: 81 hate
to see the vice-president leave the
republican party. But think he will
be back long before the rules of the
senate are materially Achanged."
The insurgent bloc welcomed"
Dawes to their ranks. |"
"The vice-presidents is more than
welcome in the insurgent camp" said
Senator Norris, republican, of Neb-
raska. "The particular thing he pro-
poses has greater danger than the
thing he wants to eleWinate, so my
only regret is that H. espouses in
surgency by campaigning for enact
ment Of ridiculous change in SEN
atorial rules"
All along the democratic front,
there was similar reaction.
Il wish the vice-president would
come down to my state" said Senator
Pat Harrison, democrat of Mississip-
pi He would get warm welcome
from my colleague and myself"
Senator Caraway,. noted for his sar-
casm, went further. What answer
can be given to man, whose public
utterances travelled all the way from
the front pages of newspapers to the
classified ad sections in single sum-
mer?' Caraway remarked. "Who can
follow the reasoning of a man who
says that few men can hold up all

"Not to be personal, but the vice.

seat in the senate and failed to carry
a county in his state. l merely men,
ton the fact, too, that Mr.. Dawes
once ran for the senate and nobody
heard of his candidacy until after he
was defeated. 1t does seem that the
senate rules might be left to those
able to get elected to,the senate and
not to those, whom the people re-
fuse to place in that body.
