Riding roughshod over the "young
guard" of the Republican regulars, a
weary Senate today voted to adjourn
the special session on Friday night and
take weeks recess before the regular
meeting in December.
Senator Walsh of Montana, acting
Democratic leader, offered the adjourn
ment resolution at the outset of today's
session.
He said it was apparent it was i'm
possible to pass the tariff bill before
December 2, when the regular session
begins, and asserted Senators should be
given at least a week to prepare Tor
the Winter term.
The vote was 40 to SO.
Senator Jones of Washington, acting
Republican leader, joined IN its support.
Jones was backed by group OF the
old guard Republican regulars, some OF
the Western independents and the al
most solid Democratic lineup.
Chairman Huston, of the Republican
national committee consulted with some
young guard members at the Capitol
yesterday, presumably to encourage their
adjournment opposition.
Jones Adds Support.
Senator Jones of Washington. acting
Republican leader. joined in its support.
1t carried 40 to 33.
Jones was backed up by group OF
the old guard Republican regulars,
some of the Western Independents and
the almost solid Democratic lineup.
The young guard" shouted out their
votes of opposition, but the tlred-out
veterans, who have been working DAY
and night for weeks on the tariff, were
determined to have at least a week OIL
and roared out aye on the motion.
only one Democrat, Dill, of Wash
ington. voted with the young guard"
Republicans. They mustered some
strength from the Western inde-
pendentS. =,
The following IA Republicans voted
for the adjournment, which must now
be acted upon by the House;
Bingham, Blaine, Brookhart, Dale,
Greene, Hale, Jones, Keyes, McNary,
Moses, Norbeck, Phipps, Schall and
Steiwer.
House leaders have indicated desire
that the special session continue until
the Senate enacted the tariff measure.
They also have said any move for
adjournment must originate in the
Senate.
Immediately after the vote Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan, one of the
young guard" Republicans, arose and
in a short speech, said he regretted the
action.
The "young guard" last week was
largely instrumental in preventing ad-
journment at that time.
Asserting he impunged no motives
of Senators who voted for adjournment,
Vandenberg said progress made on the
tariff bill since Thursday night, when
the first adjournment motion, offered
by Senator Simmons, Democrat OF North
Carolina was defeated. offered COM
plete vindication" for those who insisted
that the Senate carry on until the reg
ular session.
Ready to Adjourn.
Convinced that the tariff measure
can not be passed before the December
meeting, Senator Walsh of Montana,
the acting Democratic leader, deplored
as nonsense" the quibbling over Po-
litical advantage in the weeks recess
and said he was ready to move the ad-
journment If necessary.
While the young guard" Repuon-
cans, who disclaimed any ndivldual
leadership, were seeking to stiffen their
forces against the threat of adjourn
ment, new signs of Republican strife
in the Senate which might carry the
party split into the regular session were
seen in an impending row over COM
mittee assignments.
It developed that both the young
guard" and the Western Republican IN
dependents who have bolted the Hoover
farm relief and tariff programs both
have suggested candidates for the I'M
portant finance committee, which frames
the revenue and tariff legislation.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin is
the candidate of the Western inde-
pendents, who are now without any
representation on this committee. Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette, ST., served on IT
during his long Senate career.
The young guard" represented to
the Western independents that they
were willing to join them in support OF
Senator Thomas of Idaho for the post,
but this has been rejected.
Senator Nye of North Dakota, mem
ber of the independents, is on the Re-
publican committee on committees, and
he gave notice yesterday that If La Fol-
lette were not placed on the finance
committee, succeeding to the vacancy to
be caused by the resignation of Sena-
tor Edge of New Jersey, he would carry
the matter to the floor.
There was speculation whether the
Democrats would side with the Western
independents in this situation as in
the tariff contest If Democratic sup
port develops, it may presage coali-
ton in action in the forthcoming ses-
sion as opposed 10 the administration
