ment Due From White House.
President Coolidge threw down
the gauntlet to his opponents III the
Senate today by again submitting
the nomination OF Charles B. War
rem to be Attorney General, where
it was again referred to the judi
clary committee.
Without a word of comment, the
President sent the nomination back
Just in time TO have it waiting on
the Senate doorstep when the days
session began at noon.
The decision of the Chief Executive
astonished most of the Senators. includ-
ing the ranking Republican leaders.
who had advised the White House
that if returned the name of Mr..
did when the Senate rejected it on
Tuesday by a tie vote.
The first reaction, according to some
OF the Republicans and Democrats
was that the action was futile.
A hurried canvass of the situation
failed TO show how the administra-
tion can obtain the necessary votes to
confirm the nomination, unless some
of Mr.. Warren's opponents should
leave the Senate impaired. 1t was
pointed out that eight Republicans
and one Farmer-Labor Senator had
voted against Mr.. Warren when his
nomination was rejected. With 40
Democrats opposed-and it now is
believed they viii all be opposed to
confirmation-it would seem impos-
sible to bring about confirmation.
Some Resent Action.
Some of the Republican Senators
who voted to confirm the nomination
said today that the resubmission of
the nomination Immediately by the
President was an affront to the
Senate. They indicated there might
be more votes cast against Mr. War
rem if the nomination is again brought
up for action.
The nomination was received by the
Senate Immediately after it met today
and a short time later without OBJ
lection was referred to the Senate
JuQlClary COmmlIIee-
Chairman Cummins of the judiciary
committee announced that the COM
mittee would meet to consider the
nomination of Mr.. Warren tomorrow
morning. Mr.. Cummins said that he
had no intention of inviting Mr. War
rem to appear, before the committee
and so far as he knew none of the
other members of the committee had
such an intention. He said, however
hat
ing he did not doubt the committee
would grant his request.
Oyerman Is Opposed.
Senator Overman of North Carolina
who at first voted for the confirma-
tion of Mr.. Warren and then changed
his vote, so that the notion to re-
consider the vote rejecting Mr.. War
rem should be laid on the table said
today that he did not intend again to
vote for confirmation of Mr.. Warren
and that he knew of no Democrat who
did intend to vote for confirmation.
Later it was pointed out, that Mr..
Overman was paired with Senator
Warren of Wyoming, Republican,
who was absent The suggestion was
made that in the event of another
vote and that pair being announced,
the Vice President might again have
in favor of Mr.. Warren. 1t was re-
called, however, that Senator Howell
of Nebraska was absent and impaired
at the time the last vote was taken.
The suggestion was made that he. too,
might vote against confirmation.
Two courses of action were being
discussed by opponents of Mr. War
rem. One is to fight the nomination on
the ground that the President had no
legal authority to send to the Senate
the nomination of Mr.. Warren after
it had been rejected by the Senate in
the same session of the Senate, par
ticularly after the Senate had voted
to lay on the table a motion to recon-
slider the vote rejecting Mr.. Warren.
The other course would be 20 permit
the nomination of Mr. Warren to come
up in the Senate without further de-
lay and to get a vote on 1T.
Expects soEd Front.
Senator Walsh of Montana, one of
those who led the fight against Mr..
Warren's nomination, said that he
thought the immediate resubmission
by the President of his nomination
unprecedented. He expressed the
opinion that the Democrats would
present a solid front against con-
tirmation.
Mr.. Warren came in for consider
able criticism by some of the Sena-
tors, including those who voted for
him. Surprise was expressed that he
should desire his name to be resub-
mitted TO the Senate.
Some of the leading Republicans
frankly stated that they saw no
chance of confirming the nomination
unless some of the Democrats could
be persuaded to vote for him.
From political point of view the
wisdom of the resubmission of Mr..
Warrens nomination was challenged
in some quarters. 1t was pointed out
that the renewed contest might. help
to solidify the progressives and near
progressives into a bloc, which would
: oppose the administration in other
things. 1t was further pointed out
that a rift between the proRressiyes
