could command enough votes in the
Senate to pass the measure in its
original form When this doubt was
conveyed to President Roosevelt he
had a manner Of thinking it could
not be true.
After some months Senator Rob-
inson said that while he could not
put through the measure in its orig
inal form, he might be able to put
through compromise. He was told
to see what he could DO. xrs
Task Made Lighter.
At this point Senator Robinson was
more happy. 1t was not so much that
he liked the compromise measure of
itself. Thsre is not the faintest like
lihood that he ever would have
thought Of such a measure on his
own account. He would not, OF his
own initiative, have introduced either
the original measure or the compro-
mise one. But with the compromise
measure he now seemed to have a
chance of success. thus demonstrating
the strength of his leadership and his
loyalty to the Presidents program.
In the determination to drive the
compromise through. Senator Robin
son invoked an old Senate rule TO the
effect that no Senator should speak
on the same question more than twice
in one day. Then the term day"
was interpreted to mean a legislative
day. The result would be that no
Senator could speak more than twice
in the whole debate ON the measure.
This irked the opponents of the
measure and they brought up the
matter of amendments. Would a
Senator be permitted 10 speak twice
on each amendment? If so. the op-
ponentS of the measure had only to
bring forward amendments from time
to time in order to be able to speak as
frequently as they liked.
On this point Leader Robinson and
the administration Senators yielded:
the decision was that any Senator
could speak twice on each amend
ment. This was a marked setback
TO the administration hope of driving
the court measure through. The rea-
son for Senator Robinson yielding on
this point was his doubt whether he
had enough strength to do otherwise
1t was IN unwilling admission of weak
ness on the part OF the adminstra-
ton Senators supporting the court
measure.
The time this happened was on the
afternoon Of the day preceding Sena-
tor RoblnSon's death If he was not
already in doubt about his ability to
drive the court measure through the
Senate, his concern about the fate
of the measure must have been in
creased by something that happened
in the House the same afternoon.
In the House the chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, Representative
Hatton w. Summers Of Texas. arose
and said that he did not believe the
court measure ought to be passed
that the pressure to drive it through
the Senate was dividing that BODY in
two, that sentiment for and against
1t was dividing the country IN two.
and that if attempt were made to
push 1t through the House. that body

and those who oppose them. In the
latter stages of the court measure
fight, the court measure itself has
come to be symbolic of a group OF
pending measures and announced in
Roosevelt BY the debate on the court
measure the general tendency OF Mr..
RooSeveltS program as a whole has
| come to be seriously under suspicion
on the part of those who believe that
the measures tend toward a changed
form of government and society.
This has crystalliZed into struggle
to decide the future trend and lead
erShip of the Democratic party. 1t is
conflict to determine whether Mr..
| Roosevelt shall control the next Dem
ocratic National Convention and name
the next candidate for President. Ad-
| ministration Senators advocating the
court measure have said publicly that
| this issue is involved On that broad
question the struggle will continue for
some time, regardless of anything that
may be done in the near future about
the court measure.
Issues Do Not Coincide.
AS respects the vote on the choice
of new leader by the Democrats in
the Senate this week that certainly
| will not be conclusive on either the
court measure or the larger question
of Mr.. RooSevelt's control of the party.
1t will be a vote of the Democrats
| only, not of the whole Senate. And
among the Democrats the lineup on
chocesof new leader does not COIN
eide with the lineup on the court
measure or on the Presidents pro-
gram generally.
The whole situation is not materially
changed by the death Of the late Sen
ator Robinson as an event standing
alone. But the course leading up to
Senator RobinSon's death, and made
dramatic by that event, tends strongly
to suggest that the proportion of the
Senate which opposes Mr.. Roosevelt s
| court measure has been growing in
strength.
When President Roosevelt sent his
original court measure TO Congress
| February 5 last, Senator Robinson
WAS as disturbed as were many other
| Democratic Senators. Adhering. how
ever, to the course he has followed
since Mr.. Roosevelt became Presi-
dent, he bent his shoulders Loyalty to
putting the original court measure
through. Presently he was Obliged
