No Chance for Appointment

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar 16.- Senator Butler told the Senate it would fly in the face of the wishes of the people of the country, if it re- jected Warrens nomination. He said Calvin Coolidge was elected Novem- Der 4 by an overwhelming majority of the people of the country. and that means that the country had confidence in his honesty, judgment and integ- rity. Can you come to the conclusion that he selected an unfit man.
 In reply, Senator Walsh, democrat of Helena, Mont, said if Coolidge is embarrassed, it is because the nomi- nation is utterly indefensible" He de- clared the country depended upon the opposition to find the faults of the ruling party. Nobody expects Presi- dent Coolidge's friends to expose him after voting for him in the Senate
 The Senate held a short executive session and adjourned until tomorrow with many senators threatening to continue the session, so the President could not appoint Warren ill a recess appointment With number of nominations waiting over the Senate confirmed one postmaster.
