Senator Lodge made a point of order that th Missies Ippl Senator .was riol"tlng a rule ia attack ing the motive of Senators, : "Wall, I'll try aad proceed in order," replied Senator William. "It la re ported," he continued, "that the Repub licans are filibustering to fore an extra session because they do not want to leave President Wileea to handle a for ign eituation just at the copperheads didnt want to trust President Lincoln. . Eepnelteaa Get Orders, x Bvuver that mar be, I do sot think it I the real reason for this filibuster. The real' reason, I think, it that 70a Republican have received order from th monition manufacturers saying that heretofore they have contributed gen erously to the: Republican party and that you should remember that now -, "It. ha bean said that .Ksro fiddled while Borne waa burning.

Carey T. Grayson, the President's tisvsl aide, to bo a. rear admiral, wanted to know why the President had allowed "thia deplorable international eituation to continue.'' "The principal reason," replied Senator Williams, "is that his advisers in the Sonata and Homo are fiddling all the time and for tha reason ha cant, help that fact If a, plebiscite were taken today among the American people between Wooirow Wilson an. I tha Congress of the United States, ten out of eleven would vote focthe Prei dent against Congress and against it lnefQeiency, ineptitude aad waste of time and waste of words." "What doe th party in power or th President want of power that it has net already f asked Senator Poindexter. What the Administration Wants. "It wants Congress to do business to provide tho revenue necessary for th government ; it ipnts Congress to stand bona fide beside the President while he plays a grave international- situation." Senator Williama said -the danger lies in the international interpretation put on the attitude of Germany by thotu who rule that empire and the feeling thero that Amerieana are not united ta their stand against foreign aggression. Asked what there had been in the last few month to give Germany this Impression, the Mississippi Senator re plied: "Ob, a thousand things 'from Bryan down." "I wnnt America to ,unfool Germany on tb,is point.", Senator 'Wil liama continued. "If be does that he will, avoid an expensive and perhaps a bloody conflict. If we can't unf ool Ger many wa won't avoid it. "If I were President, I would give American shippers guns with which to arm their ahipt and I would give them money." "I wish to God th Senator were Presi dent if he would do that," interjected Senator Sutherland. Republican, of Ctah. 1 ' "I am very glad, and th American people may be very glad that I am not President" returned Senator Williams, "because there it a man In the White House much abler and wiser than I who has demonstrated hit grcatnesc to the nation fa more than one trying ocea tioa. . "The American people may be glad, too, that Bryan wai not President with hia idea that he could Overcome a Eu ropean tornado by applying, tweet oil on its turbulent wave. Ther may be glad too that Roosevelt it not President, for we would already have been in war with Germany, England, France, Rus sia and Mexico. v "If the President of the United Rtftti'i will act," doclared Senator Lodge. Re publican,' of Massachusetts, "ha will have Congresa behind him as he did when the break eame with Germany. But when he hesltatetnjra dispute and discusses and lets things go by we are bound to have differences In Congress and la the country. We are bound to have distrust. Ther is bound to be a feeling that it would be safer and bet ter for the country that the Congress of the United State ahould remain in testioB." He denied that ther wat a conspir acy among the Republicans and added, "I will support ths President to the ttmost when he takes a stand against a foreign nation, but I will not be led under the blackmail of .a threat of wai to support an objectionable treaty." It ia true, ho said, that Germany "has blaelunailed'Mh United States, but Jt is because ship owner eanot get guns which sre in th hand of the Navy Department. "Why don't they bar the gunst" he tked. "Congress can't give them." Lewis Replica to Lodge. Senator Lewia, the Democratic whip, replying to Senator Lodge, said: "The Senator from Massachusetts would pose aa the captain patriot of the Republican! aide as a Senator ever supporting a Democratic) President in a oountry I crieie. H aa'yt he supported the break with Germany. Yes, this was because it might mean war and serve the purposes of those who would drag us into aa alliance with Britain for our life or death. "When did the Senator support the President in hi effort to 'save the country from war,- and to bring peace to th warring nations of th world! I charge him with evety effort to .dishonor thee attempts. ,.-:;.-..:.-.-... "When the President tent bis first pear message to the warring nations and a . resolution was lntrduceT her to appro the action of th President, it was th senator from Massachusetts who. led tho opposition and sounht to have' the President condemned fox-Ik effort. :' '..-..' "Then, sir. when the President eame to .the Senate and presented hi, mes- tage to to world asking an anianee zor world peace, it was the Senator from Maaaachusetta who led an assault tpoa the Preiideat and denounced th under, taking aa unworthy and on to be op posed by ail effort aad defeated by all patriots. "Nothing Woodrow Wilson can do, has done, or desires to do to preserve peace but that the Heaator from Massachusetts assails even to repeating smoking ear aud back stair gosaip if it ana slander the PVesiuVmt, however, it discredits the country aud dishonors th nation." Towards th close of the day,' after the heat of debate over, the interna tional situation had subsided Chairman Simmons, of th Fiaaae Committee, bitterly assailed the Republican for their filibuster. The Democrats, be de clared, proposed to die fighting for the revenue bill and preparedness legisla tion and would hold the Senate ia con tinuous session until a vote could be had on the revenue bill. "We are witnessing here," said Sena tor Simmons," the most determined fili buster I have ever wen in the Senate. If this revenue bill shall fail and aa a result the great program to' put thia country in a condition of defense is held up and suspended for another year, 1 think It due to the American people that they ahould know who is responsi ble for such a miscarriage, of this great purpose on the part of the government. "We are told this It not a filibuster. The Senate know and the country knows it ia a filibuster to defesi the revenue bill carrying taxation amount ing to 1248,000,000 of which 8226,000,000 is placed on th back of the great, rich and -powerful corporations. : "I would be derelict in my duty If I did not tell tha people of , the country, those who have demanded and backed this great program for defense, of this threatened effort to break that program down. We want the American people to know It was your dagger that pierced the body of thia great program and brought it to its untimely death. Go ahead with your filibuster, but we shall aot content ourselvea to submit1 to the consequences of defent until w have exhausted everything, resource an every weapon at our command." t 1 Snnator Penrose, ranking Republican of tht Finance Committee, replied with a declaration that there it absolutely no Intention on the part of the minor ity to defeat the revenue bill." When Senator Simmons asked what data for a vote would be acceptable to the mi nority, however, Heaator Pearoee said he could not mak tueh aa arrangement. "I dont think tha Senator from North Carolina need worry," said Senator Penrose. "He may be able to pass it Monday or Tuesday." DEMOCRATS READY FOR LONG CONTEST (Continued front Page One.) for preparedness and fail to raise the money," aaid Senator Simmons, "ia the campaign to coma we may find tha Re publican party oa th stump aaying we appropriated th money but the Demo cratic party because of it inefficiency haaat got th money and your scheme for preparedness faJla because of Dem ocratic incompetence.' "The situation 1 tuch that we would bo derelict to the people of thit coun try if wc did not call the attention of the country to thit threatened effort to break it down and suspend the program for a whole year. "Wo realiae your ability to filibuster thia to death, but we want tha American people to know It waa your dagger that brought this to an untimely death. We shall content ourselves to submit to a defeat without maklne avarv effort in our power. -rV "I wish to give notice to the Senate, peaking not for myself alone, nor for the Finance Committee, but speaking for the majority representative in this body that after a poll we have decided if w eaa do it tbat thls session of today shall continue, if we have the strength, until there is a final rot on this bill."
