Senator McCarran, Democrat of

and then didn't get chance.
In 1888, McCarran was up in Maine
when the Senate suddenly agreed to
vote the next day on a veterans bill,
and the lineup was so close that the
Nevadan's vote was needed.
BY chartering special car. and
then flying from Boston, McCarran
got to the Capitol just in time for
the vote.
His trip yesterday was shorter, but
more difficult. Recovering from an

Gratis. 10 Republicans and l Pro-
gressive.
All three of the Republican Senators
who have been prominently mentioned
in connection with the presidential
nomination voted against the amend
ment. These were Borah of Idaho,
Vandenberg of Michigan and Dickin-
son Of Iowa.
Senator Thomas made plea for
issuance of more currency, which. he
insisted, would tend to raise COM
modify prices and reduce the value
of the dollar. Until such course had
been taken. he predicted. recovery
would be retarded, and the farmers
would not obtain prices for their prod
uce which properly support them.
Early in the day, Senator Harrison
had predicted final vote on the bill
before adjournment or recess. and in
dicated he would hold the Senate in
session until such a vote was had.
Hurried Conference Held.
Senator Borah arose on the floor
not long after S o'clock, and asked
whether it was the purpose of the
leaders to keep the Senate at work
until the bill had passed. After hur-
ried informal conferences on the floor
among the leaders. 1t was decided to
let the bill go over until tomorrow.
Another few minutes was all that
would have been necessary, 1t was
said, to get a final vote on the bill.
Much OF the afternoon was occu-
pied by political speeches made by
Senator Hastings. Republican, of
Delaware. and Senator Barkley, DEM
ocrat. of Kentucky. Hastings set the
political ball rolling with sarcastic
references to President Roosevelt, and
Democratic Senators who upheld the
Presidents veto of the Patman bill
last Summer and who now are sup
porting the pending measure.
Il wonder why it is," he said, "the
country does not know how the Presi-
dent stands on this bonus payment.
The President recently came before
the Congress and delivered a speech
on the state of the Union, but he did
not say word regarding the bonus.
THE Presidents veto of a bonus
bill eight months ago would lead
you to think he would veto this bill.
Yet administration leaders now pre-
dict that the President will approve it.
"Only Method Different"
1T is said this bill is different from
the Patman greenback bill. But the
only difference Is the method Of pay
ment. The payment will be as great.
The reasons advanced by the Presi-
dent so forcibly against the Patman
bill could be advanced equally against
this new bill"
Hastings read excerpts from a
speech made by Senator Harrison
after the Presidents veto message
last May, declaring he would support
the veto and that while he knew his
attitude would not suit the veterans
in Mississippi, he was not controlled
by political considerations. Other
Democratic leaders, including Robin
son of Arkansas, had supported
the veto.
II would not suggest that now,
eight months later, with an election
coming on. these Senators have
changed their minds because their
own political lives are at stake" said
Hastings.
President Roosevelt" he continued.

speech, We will not retreat It looks
as though the President might have
said to his military aides that he did
not mean, YOU can't retreat

MRS. NORTON ASKS
ADVICE OF WOMEN
Urges Washingtonians to
Give Committees Full.
Benefit of Opinions.

II Washington women want the Ma
tional Capital to have the best gov
ernment possible, they should give the
District committees Of Congress the
fullest benefit of their opinions, Mrs.
Mary T. Norton, chairman OF tne
House District Committee, told the Po-
utical Study Club yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Norton pointed out many
shortcomings OF the local government,
particularly the lack Of power OF the
District Commissioners to carry out
some necessary governmental func-
tions. But conditions can be I'M
proved here, she said, If the women
Of the city will express themselves
freely and willingly at public hear
ings on pending bills.
She pointed out the possibility Of
District representation in Congress and
the right to vote in presidential elec-
tions can be enhanced greatly If the
women of the city will actively pre-
sent their demands to the House Ju-
dietary Committee, to which the Nor
ton bill for such representation has
been referred.
Hearings Impossible.
Mrs. Norton said she asked Speaker
Byrns to refer the proposal to the
District Committee after it had gone
to the Judiciary Committee, and
learned that it would be impossible.
The situation. Under House rules, will
make it impossible for her to call
hearings but, she added, if sufficient
number will demonstrate to Chairman
Summers their desire for hearings they
may be able to force the Judiciary
Committee to act.
Chairman Norton particularly asked
the women to express themselves on
her own proposal to re6rganize the Dis
trict Juvenile Court, to be introduced
in the House next week. She outlined
the measure and pointed out that some
objection already has been raised tt
increasing the powers of the Juvenile
Court judge.
But we want the fullest discussion
Of this BILL she said If you womer
will express your views freely, some.
thing beneficial will come from the
ent form or in some other"
Mrs. Norton also pleaded for SYM
pathetic. consideration for the member.
of the House District Committee.
''All Of them have a district back
home to represent. That in itself Il
q huge task requiring hard work. Theil
duties as members of the District Com.
mittee are in addition to looking aftel
the interest of their own constituents.

enough, please remember just how
much we are called upon to do

characterize the current stir about
