CLAUDE K ITCH IN VOTED NO. Mr. Webb Explained Pair. He had Made I'p Hi? Mind to Vote Againsjt War But Paired With Hill. Tele Gramts for Kitchin. Hundreds Re ceived by Majority Leader Com Mending His Vote on War Resolu tion. Washington, April 6. ? Claude Kitchin, who early this morning cast his vote against the Martin-Flood war fesolution, is a bigger man today than at any time since he came to Congress. Not that every one, possibly not even a majority of people, agree with his views, but Kitchin's act was one that demanded courage ? courage which aiany other members wished they ?ould have possessed ? and even the most rabid war advocates are ap plauding his stand today. Never before in the history of the Washington government has the eouls of statesmen been tried as they have been within the past 24 hours. Strong, brave men, before casting ?heir vote, went quietly to the seclu sion of their offices in the house office buoldlng or to their rooms at the ho tels, and knelt down and grayed for guidance. The lone woman in the house, Miss Rankin, of Montana, broke down when her name was called. Such were the scenes witnessed in the house between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning when congressmen were ?ailed upon to cast their vote either ior or against a war resolution. Many men voted for the resolution who did *ot want to do so. They simply lacked the courage to stand up and vote their ?onvictions. Any man could vote "aye" but it took a real man to vote "no." Claude Kitchin was the only man from North Carolina to vote against the resolution. All the rest voted for it, except Yates Webb, who was paired with Congressman Hill, of Connecti cut, who was for the measure. Mr. Webb explained to the Daily News correspondent today that he had fully made up his mind to vote against the resolution and would cast his vote with Claude Kitchin but Hill was taken sick shortly before the hour for voting arrived and urged him to pair. Webb did this after consulting Speaker Clark and Majority Leader Kitchin. Mr. Webb wants it understood that he was against the resolution. When his name appeared in the "pair" list today there were some who thought the ninth district congressman had dodged the issue. Mr. Webb declared later, however, that he had made up his mind to vote against the resolution and had so informed his friends. Hundreds of telegrams to Mr. Kitch in today indorsed his stand in oppos ing the measure. Many of these tel grams doubtless came from men who may or may not agree with Kitchin's vote. The thing that appealed to every one, however, was the fact that Kitch in had the courage to stand by his convictions and willing to take the consequences even though it meant his political downfall. All who know Kitchin know he is as brave and fear less as a lion and no one questioned his sincerity in this instance. A few congressmen, including Car ter Glass, of Virginia, and Tom Hef lin, of Alabama, started a movement last night to create sentiment against Kitchin and to have him deposed as majority leader. They soon found that politics was not to be played side by side with a big issue like the pending legislation and that Kitchin had a following that had the greatest con fidence in him and believed he was actuated by the highest motive in casting his vote almost alone. If there is any disposition to de pose Kitchin as leader no one here is able to find it today. His office was crowded with men who told him they admired his courage and one Repub lican member said if any attempt was made to humiliate Kitchin because of his stand on war there would be two Republican votes for him for each Democrat who deserted him. ?
