Hastings defended Jonahs' character and said the many public offices he i had held constituted a record "of which any member of the Senate might be proud." The phrase "personally obnoxious." Hastings said, was a "lash" that should be sparingly used and never used because of partisanship. Senator Morrison, Democrat, North Carolina, said the sold objection to Jonas was not that he was "personally obnoxious." “He is very objectionable to both senators from North Carolina for good reasons. The fact that the objection isn't personal in character might to aid weight to it. He's very objection able to me ebecause I am convinced he is not a fair man."
