Senator Robinson of Arka ssas
criticized Reed of Pennsylvania for
his motion to take up the veto of the
farm bill.
II do not intend to follow the
Senator from Pennsylvania i'll this
matter" said Senator Robinson. "He
is an unwise and unsafe leader. lie
has refused to follow the leadership
during the last few days of Senator
| Curtis of Kansas. his party leader
| but rather has chosen for his own
purpose to keep all legislation from
passing in order to prevent the adop-
| ton Of the pending resolution. He
seeks to impose his arbitrary will
upon the Senate"
1.-THE shrewish scolding----'' began
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania.
"Oh, L hope the Senator is not that
petulant this morning" interjected
Senator Robinson.
Tempers were rapidly breaking
under the strain, and Senator Reed
of Pennsylvania entered into a
denunciation of the majority of the
Senate which. has insisted upon the
passage of the slush fund committee
resolution.
Puts Blame OH Opponents.
1.-The majority of the Republicans in
the Senate are against this resolu-
ton" he said. THE Democrats are
all for it, and enough Republicans
have been weaned away by one
method or another to help them out. "
He attempted to lay the blame on
his opponents for the failure of>the
public buildings bill, the deficiency
appropriation bill and the alien
property bill and other important
legislation.
They take the position that if they
cannot have their way they will per
NIT these measures to die said Sena-
tor Reed.

Senator Reed of Pennsylvania re

charge of Senator McNary of Oregon.
He insisted, however, that he was act

Caraway Delivers TRADE.
At this point the Vice President

d lIldLtSE Ol nest WOuLu

A vitriolic TRADE against Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania, was delivered
by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, who
insisted that 1.-The speciality of the
Senator of Pennsylvania is to deal
with corruption" rather than with the
farm problem.
THE Senator from Pennsylvania"
continued Mr.. Caraway, has become
the batter and hater of our section
of the country, the South. We sat
here all night and heard his denuncia-
ton of the South. 1t has become his
stock in trade
Senator Caraway insisted that it
was not corruption in the Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois elections alone
which was holding up the Reed reso-
luton.
Proposes Visit by Reed.
There is another Senator who
ed. his election may be attacked"
said Senator Caraway. lie did not
name the Senator.
Senator Caraway offered to let Sena-
tor Reed go to the State of Ar
kansas as a committee of the Senate
to investigate the elections there If
he wanted to.
ooh, that wouldn't be necessary"
said Senator Reed Of Pennsylvania,
1.-The Senator from Arkansas can bring
the ballots up in his pocket the next
time he comes"
