The Special Session of the Senate Wednesday, March 4th Vice President Dawes took charge, in every sense of the word. Delivered address advocating a cloture rule (see page 7). Gave the members a typical "Hell and Maria" swearing in, doing it en masse, which was contrary to custom, and without their signing their oaths at the time as required. He then informally adjourned the Senate, and abandoned the proceedings, after the inauguration of President Coolidge. A kind of "rump" session followed, without any duly credited presiding officer. Thursday, March 5th The Senate proceeded to straighten out the irregularity and probable illegality of the previous day's procedure, a la Dawes, by a unanimous consent agreement that the taking of the oaths should be considered as having been done in proper form. Reed of Missouri made a speech which pointedly apprised the Vice President of how his duties should have been performed, with Floor Leader Curt is approving the action suggested. Underwood proposed a cloture rule. Swanson offered a resolution providing that the United States adhere to the World Court protocol. Willis presented a similar resolution. There was a secret session to consider Executive nominations. Friday, March 6th new Moses, of New Hampshire, was elected President pro tempore (so Dawes' unexpected disappearances no longer matter). Sanderson reelected Secretary. The Old Guard enlarged six important committees, with Norris protesting that they were already too big. Coolidge sent in appointment of Alfred P. Dennis, Democrat, for the place on the Tariff Board held by David J. Lewis. Saturday, March 7th Norris and Borah temporarily blocked Old Guard discipline of La Follette, Brookhart, Frazier and Ladd, whose insurgency was to be punished by demotion on committees. The regulars lost a battle on the issue of secrecy, when the Senate voted, 46 to 39, to consider the Warren nomination for Attorney General in open session. Walsh opened attack on Warren, stressing his sugar trust connections. Monday, March 9th "Party discipline" had its day. The insurgents lost their chairmanships. To make a test, Norris moved that Ladd be retained as Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands. Stanfield won, 36 to 13; most of the Democrats voted "Present." The other punitive demotions were accomplished, 64 to 11. Ladd introduced a resolution calling upon the Federal Trade Commission to investigate combinations between American and foreign interests. Tuesday, March 10th The debate on Warren waxed fast and furious. Cummins "defended" him; Walsh and Reed renewed the attack. The vote on confirmation resulted in a President tie 40 to 40 with Vice Dawes not present to decide the issue. Reed of Pennsylvania changed his vote from aye to nay, in order to move a reconsideration, thinking Dawes would get back before the next roll call was finished; but Walsh of Montana made a motion to table, which carried, 41 to 39, thus defeating confirmation. The Isle of Pines treaty was made the unfinished business. The Committee on Privileges and Elections was directed to investigate three contested seats, those of Brookhart, Schall and Bratton. Wednesday, March 11th Isle of Pines treaty was considered. McKellar introduced resolution directing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate "open price associations."

The World Court issue was made the order of business for December 17, 1925. Two more resolutions for Federal Trade Commission investigations were sented-Reed of Missouri seeking an inquiry into conspiracies in restraint of trade in the farm implement business, and Shipstead asking for a report by that body as to the growth and advantages of cooperative associations and the extent of interference by corporations or trade associations. King submitted two further resolutions dealing with Turkish and Armenian affairs. Saturday, March 14th pre One of the most exciting days in Senate history. Coolidge announced that he would give Warren a recess appointment, if his nomination was again rejected, which led to a notable discussion of the real responsibility of the Senate in such matters and the constitutionality of the President's attitude. Mellon also was under attack, with an incidental and very bitter personal controversy between Couzens and Ernst, both members of the committee investigating the Treasury, the latter indirectly calling his colleague "a wilful, malicious liar," with Couzens inferring that Ernst had surreptitiously kept Mellon informed as to the committee's plans so that vital evidence might be "lost." At the close of the hectic session, Shipstead offered a resolution on the limitation of armaments, and a minor treaty regulating the level of the Lake of the Woods was ratified. Monday, March 16th The Warren nomination was a second time rejected, 39 to 46, after a dramatic day of debate. As though sensible of the dangerous meaning of giving support to the administration, the older "regulars" were silent, the defense of Coolidge and Warren being left largely to newer Old Guarders-Gillett, Bingham, Butler, Goff-with Shortridge and Fess aiding somewhat. A great speech was made by Borah, in which he stressed the constitutional responsibility of the Senate and characterized Warren as an accomplice of Havemeyer "in a conspiracy which had for its purpose peculating from the pockets of the poor concerning one of the necessaries of life." Norris also spoke powerfully against confirmation. All of the thirtynine approving Warren were administration Republicans; twelve Republicans and independents adopted the BorahNorris point of view. Tuesday, March 17th Accepting the defeat of Warren, Coolidge sent to the Senate the name of John G. Sargent, a personal friend, for Attorney General. The confirmation of this appointment was made unanimously in open executive session. The McKellar and Shipstead resolutions were adopted. Trammell made another unsuccessful attempt to get consideration for his gasoline investigation. Walsh scathingly analyzed Spencer's minority report (filed January 25th) on the Naval Oil Leases investigation.

McKellar's request for unanimous adoption of resolution for Senate Committee to investigate and report on best disposition of Muscle Shoals, including visit to Ontario to study its Hydro system, was objected to by Jones of Washington. Norris criticised Smithsonian Institution's publication and wide distribution of Wyer Report attacking Ontario Hydro Electric; he said 170,000 copies of a summary of this report was distributed by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. Inserted in Record Sir Adam Beck's reply to Wyer Report (see February Searchlight), the Smithsonian's official statement explaining its connection with the report, Bulletin of National Popular Government League by Judson King exposing report, and many newspaper and magazine articles.

Roll Calls You Should Remember A SPECIAL session of the Sen ate, following the inauguration of a President, is not unusual, but generally its time is given to The colorless, routine matters. session this month was exceptional. Instead of being a drab affair, much that happened was of spectacular and historical significance. The record made is one that should be considered most thoughtfully by every voter. Some of the roll calls, which are here presented, involve issues of far-reaching importance. They should be kept for reference in the next campaign. (In all of these roll calls, the Republicans and independents who opposed the administration shown in italics). are Outstanding, of course, is the fight over the confirmation of Warren as Attorney General. To Enable a Majority to Decide The first test came in executive session. Moses was presiding as President pro tempore. When the question of considering the Warren case publicly was raised, Moses ruled that a two-thirds vote would be required to bring it into the open. There was an appeal, and the Senate voted, 38 to 39, "not to sustain the ruling of the Chair." This important roll call was as follows (C. R., p. 20): To Sustain Moses' Ruling-Bingham, Butler, Cameron, Curtis, Dale, Deneen, Du Pont, Ernst, Fernald, Gillett, Glass, Goff, Gooding, Hale, Harreld, Jones, N. Mex.; Jones, Wash.; Keyes, McKinley, McLean, McMaster, Means, Metcalf, Norbeck, Oddie, Overman, Pepper, Pine, Reed, Pa.; Sackett, Schall, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Stanfield, Wadsworth, Watson, Weller-38. To Abolish Secrecy by a Majority Vote-Ashurst, Bayard, Blease, Borah, Bratton, Brookhart, Broussard, Bruce, Capper, Couzens, Dill, Ferris, Fletcher, Frazier, George, Gerry, Harris, Harrison, Heflin, Howell, Johnson, King, Ladd, McKellar, McNary, Mayfield, Neely, Norris, Pittman, Ralston, Ransdell, Reed, Mo.; Sheppard, Shipstead, Simmons, Swanson, Trammell, Tyson, Walsh-39. No Secrecy in Warren Case With the right of a majority to decide the issue thus established, there was a motion by Reed of Missouri to consider the Warren appointment in open session. It carried, 46 to 39, as follows (C. R., p. 20): For Publicity-Ashurst, Bayard, Blease, Borah, Bretton, Brookhart, Broussard, Bruce, Capper, Caraway, Couzens, Dill, Ferris, Fletcher, Frazier, George, Gerry, Glass, Harris, Harrison, Heflin, Howell, Johnson, Jones, N. Mex.; Kendrick, King, Ladd, McKellar, McLean, McMaster, McNary, Mayfield, Neely, Norris, Pittman, Ralston, Ransdell, Reed, Mo.; Robinson, Sheppard,_Shipstead, Simmons, Stephens, Trammell, Tyson, Walsh-46. Against Open Consideration-Bingham, Butler, Cameron, Cummins, Curtis, Dale, Deneen, du Pont, Ernst, Fernald, Fess, Gillett, Goff, Gooding, Hale, Harreld, Jones, Wash.; Keyes, McKinley, Means, Metcalf, Moses, Norbeck, Oddie, Overman, Pepper, Pine, Reed, Pa.; Sackett, Schall, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Stanfield, Wadsworth, Warren, Watson, Weller, Willis-39. First Rejection of Warren The result of the first roll call on the confirmation of Warren was a tie-40 to 40. Had Dawes not been absent, he could have cast the deciding vote in favor of the Administration. In order to move a reconsideration, with the hope of getting the Vice President to return in time, Reed of Pennsylvania, changed his vote, whereupon Walsh of Montana moved to table the motion for reconsideration, which, being carried, 41 to 39, terminated the matter. The extra vote was that of Overman, he having supported confirmation and then taken the other side on the motion to table. Warren was rejected on this test as follows (C. R., p. 107): For Confirmation-Bingham, Butler, Cameron, Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Dale, Deneen, du Pont, Ernst, Fernald, Fess, Gillett, Goff, Gooding, Hale, Harreld, Jones, Wash.; Keyes, McKinley, McLean, McNary, Means, Metcalf, Moses, Oddie, Overman, Pepper, Pine, Sackett, Schall, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Stanfield, Wadsworth, Watson, Weller, Willis-39. Against Confirmation-Ashurst, Bayard, Blease, Borah, Bratton, Brookhart, Broussard, Bruce, Caraway, Copeland, Couzens, Ferris, Fletcher, Frazier, George, Harris, Harrison, Heflin, Johnson, King, Ladd, McKellar, McMaster, Mayfield, Neely, Norbeck, Norris, Pittman, Ralston, Ransdell, Reed, Mo.; Reed, Pa.; Robinson, Sheppard, Shipstead, Simmons, Swanson, Trammell, Tyson, Walsh, Wheeler-41. It will be seen, therefore, that all the Democrats opposed Warren, as did the Farmer-Labor member. The Republicans recorded against the Administration included Borah, Brookhart, Couzens, Frazier, Howell, Johnson, Ladd, La Follette, McMaster, Norbeck and Norris. Punishing Party Irregularity The successful attempt of the Old Guard to discipline those Republicans who had objected to Coolidgeism in the last campaign culminated March 9th, when they took away the preferred committee places formerly held by these insurgents. The test came on the election of a chairman of the Committee on Public Lands. Ladd had been chairman. The regulars presented Stanfield for that position. Norris moved that the name of Ladd be substituted. On this roll call, Stanfield received thirty-six votes, and Ladd thirteen. Twenty-six of the Democrats, in pursuance of the mistaken policy that they should keep "hands off," voted "present," with the following result (C. R., p. 67-8): For Stanfield - Bingham, Bruce, Butler, Cameron, Cummins, Curtis, Dale, Deneen, du Pont, Ernst, Fess, Gillett, Goff, Gooding, Hale, Harreld, Jones, Wash.; Keyes, McKinley, McLean, McNary, Means, Metcalf, Moses, Oddie, Pepper, Pine, Reed, Pa.; Sackett, Schall, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Wadsworth, Watson, Willis-36. -3. For Ladd- Borah, Brookhart, Copeland, Second Rejection of Warren The President challenged the decision of the Senate by returning the Warren nomination. March 16th, there was another administration defeat, this time more decisively, the roll call being (C. R., p. 280): For Confirmation-Bingham, Butler, Cameron, Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Dale, Deneen, du Pont, Ernst, Fernald, Fess, Gillett, Goff, Gooding, Hale, Harreld, Jones, Wash.; Keyes, Lenroot, McKinley, McLean, McNary, Means, Metcalf, Moses, Oddie, Pepper, Pine, Sackett, Schall, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Stanfield, Wadsworth, Watson, Weller, Willis-39. Against Confirmation-Ashurst, Bayard, Blease, Borah, Bratton, Brookhart, Broussard, Bruce, Caraway, Copeland, Couzens, Dill, Edwards, Ferris, Fletcher, Frazier, George, Gerry, Glass, Harris, Harrison, Heflin, Howell, Johnson, Kendrick, King, Ladd, La Follette, McKellar, Mayfield, Neely, Norbeck, Norris, Ralston, Ransdell, Reed, Mo.; Robinson, Sheppard, Shipstead, Simmons, Smith, Swanson, Trammell, Tyson, Walsh, Wheeler 46. The pairs were as follows: Greene for with Jones (N. M.) against; Phipps for with Pittman against; Reed (Pa.) for with McMaster against; Warren for with Overman against; Edge for with Stephens against. Not Voting-Capper, Caraway, Dill, Edge, Edwards, George, Greene, Jones, N. Mex.; Kendrick, La Follette, Lenroot, Mayfield, Phipps, Smith, Stephens, Underwood, Warren, Weller-18. The Isle of Pines to Cuba The treaty, first presented twenty years ago, giving the Isle of Pines to Cuba, was ratified on Friday, March 13th, as follows (C. R., p. 215): Yeas-Bayard, Bingham, Bratton, Broussard, Bruce, Butler, Cameron, Capper, Caraway, Couzens, Curtis, Dale, Deneen, du Pont, Ernst, Ferris, Fess, Fletcher, Gerry, Gillett, Glass, Goff, Hale, Harreld, Harris, Harrison, Johnson, Jones, Wash.; Keyes, King, McKinley, McLean, McMaster, McNary, Mayfield, Means, Metcalf, Moses, Neely, Norris, Oddie, Overman, Pepper, Pine, Pittman, Ransdell, Reed, Pa.; Robinson, Sackett, Schall, Sheppard, Shortridge, Simmons, Smith, Stanfield, Swanson, Trammell, Tyson, Wadsworth, Walsh, Watson, Weller, Wheeler-63.
