Mr. Gillett, as he warmed to | subject, reverted to the practice | the House of which he was a mem- | ber for more than 30 vears in re- ferring to othér members, describing various Benators as “the gentleman from Montana,” and so forth. { The rejection of Mr. Warren, Sena- tor Gillelt said, Was an extraordinary happening. - He pointed out that for over 50 years an appointee to the President’s cabinet had not been re- jected by the Benate, although some { of those appointed and confirmed had | been violently attacked on the stumn, n terms which made the criticism | voiced by Sepator Reed of Missouri sound like “the cooing of a turtle| { dove” in comparison Senator Gillett charged that the {-opposition was actuated by partisan | politics. | | his in Wounld Back Democratic President.

He ven- tured the prediction that when the Senate and the President are acting | within their respective rights the laws and the odds will be in favor of the | ‘l' esident. The Senate of today, he said, does mot stand as high in the ‘élllnlflli(\n of the people as. the | President. Takes Fling at Wal. During Senator Gillett's defense of Mr. Warren, Mr. Gillett referred to the fact that the nomination for Vice President had been tendered Senator i Walsh at the Democratic convention in New York. He sald that probably it was well for the State of Montana that Mr. Walsh did not accept | nomination, and added: | { “It would have been unfortunate if | I both the Senators from Montana had [been defeated in the elecilon for { Vice President.” He referred to the | fact that Senator Wheeler of Montana ran on the La Follette ticket for Vice President Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the | Democratic leader called attefitjon lto the fact that Senator Borah of {1daho, who is now opposing Mr. War- ) {ren’s nomination. had been offered | the vice presidency on the G, O. P. | ticket, and added, “'the Senator from | {1daho and nearly everybody else who [ | was offered that nominaticn re- | | tused it.” { Laughter ran over the galleries and | | the Senate floor at the remark, while ! Vice President Dawes, who was nominated for that office, at the Re publican convention, was in the chalr. He finally was compelled to rap for | order. Senator Borah of Idaho de- clared that the obligation resting on {the Senate of confirming appoint- ments to the President's cabinet is not merely a perfunctory one. .Upon the proper performance of this duty, he said, depends the resposibility for “clean, strong, patriotic government.” Editorial comment, in the new i papers, Senator Borah said, holds that the Senate should yleld to the Presi- dent. He said that- the policy~ had {grown up that the President should | | he permitted te -appoint his cahinet | {practically witheut challenge -from | the Senate, Leeanse of the respeci of | the people and -the~ Senate for the| | cfice of the President.

The ldaho Senator quoted Alexander Hamilton, who de- clared that the Senate must meet its full responsibilities in passing ond nominations. He.read.from a speech | of Danfel Webster, then a Secnator from Massachuset(s. opposing the nomination of Van Buren as Ambas- sador. to England. He insisted that Mr. Webster had not beenactuated by partisan motives and suggested to Senator Gillett that he should read more carefully the speeches of Web- | | charge partisanship sald Senator Borah, “but 1 suppose that Senators who are ! supporting Mr. Warren dre acting in good faith and those Senators should give the opponents of Mr. Warren the same consideration. It is much eas- ier to go along in Washington than 1o disagree. If there is any atmos- phere that tends to weaken a man's backbone it is here in Washington.” Senator Borah said that he was con- vinced Mr, Warren was unfit to hold i ) | | House, | filintions and actions in faet ——— e the office of Attorney General. In saying this, he declared he did not challenge at all the integrity of Pres- ident Coolidge, and he added: “1 expect him to perform his duty, and if 1 do less 1 will quickly lose the respeet of the President. Van Buren Later Presiden: Senator Walsh of Montana asked Senator Borah if Van Buren.had been glven a recess appointment after his nomination had been rejected by the nate as it was, No," replied Senator Borah dryly, “but the people elected him President of the United States “Was the rejection Buren non-partisan? ator Gillett “1 think that Mr. Webster was non- partisan to refect the nomination, replied Senator Borah. Says People Disregard Law. Senator Borah said that the Attor- ney Generalship at this time is the most important to which the Presi- dent may nominate except the-office of Chief Justice. He. said that the American people were more disre- gardful of law than &ny other people in the civilized world.” He said that men of great wealth are living in dis- regard and violation of the law; that great combinations are being formed This, he said, 'was the most menacing feature of the situation. Referring to letters which passed between Mr. Warren and Mr. Havermyer of the sugar trust, Senator Borah said, these of Mr. Van inquired Sen- { letters showed they were seeking to avoid the law in the formation of an unlawful combination. hat Senator or lawyer here would permit Havermver to write to him the letter he wrote to Mr. Warren?" demanded Senator Borah Senator Borah said that if My, War- ren were given a recess appointment that was a matter that would have to be met in the future, adding that he did not assume that such &n ap- pointment would be made without constitutional authority. Backed by Bingham. Senator Bingham charged that the opposition had sought to convey the impression that Mr. Warren is a man unfit for the place of Attorney Gen- eral. In their anxiety to discredit this administration they had given the impression that Mr. Warren is engaged at present in busfness af- which existed 20 or 25 vears ago.’ Even if he were to be accused of definite charges. those who are seeking to discredit him must g0 back a quarter of a century. Phe Democratlc party in the last campaign had a candidate for President about whom similar things were sald a& to his business affairs by members of his own party. He was charged with being a repre- sentative of Wall street and big busi- ness. - Mr. Bingham said that it looked as if they were trying to draw red her- ring across the trail of the real mon- goose. He said that the people of his State have expressed_their confidence in the President of the United States nd they do not believe that the Pres- ident has selected a man for Attor- ney General who will not Inforce the law. He agreed with Senator Borah as to the right of the Senate to ad- vise and concur in nominations, but the Senate is trying now not to al- low the President to appoint the man whom the President deems best fitted for the office. Senator Heflin declared that the sugar trust Is the best friend that Mr. Warren ever had. He said it would be bad faith for the country when any Senator thinks more of pleasing the President,than of his own oath of office and his pepple. He wanted to know why the President insisted on any particular man whose chief poini in life has been to build up a gigantic trust. ‘Knowing the facts. e said, it is umanswerable. Mr. Warren should not be.confirmed. Butler Backs Warren. Senator Butler of Massachusetts then took the floor. and his appearance created a stir in the galleries as the visitors recognized Senator Butler as the close reyresentative of President Coolidge. Senator Butler began by 1eferring to President Coolidge's over- whelming majority in the November elections. He characterized the vote as an_expression of confidence and trust by the peop'e in his judgment and honesty. He wanted (o know If-the people believed or félt that President Cool- idge was ®ot in favor of the enforce- ment of the laws of his country. If there 15 falth In Goolidge, he said, it cannot be thought for a moment that he would select an unfit man to en- force the law. He then went at some length into the records of the sugar trust legal proceedings and pointed out that Mr. Warren had been absolved from the petition in the compiaint. Senator Butler said that somehow a feeling had spread about that Mr. Warren was not wanted in the office of Attorney General. Thix was greeted with from the opposing side. Senator Butler sald: “Some of you may laugh, but you know that Mr. Warren knows the United States and the duty which he has been called upon to perform.

He said the people of the United States have confidence in the President and the President has confidence in Mr. Warren, and he has confidence in both. These considera- tions are sufficient to guide him in veting for confirmation. “Does any one suppose,”’ asked the Senator, “that President Coolldge took the oath of office to see the laws faithfully ex- ecuted with a reservation? The people know,” said Senator Shortridge, “that the President atands for law enforce- ment.

There was no action on it and it was again sent to the Senate when the regular Congress opened and finally Jected March 1. 1923, Notwithstanding this rejection by the Senate, Mr. Harding gave Cohen & recess appointment May 12, 1223, When the Congress reconvened, December, 1923, the nomination Mr. Cohen was again sent in and rejected February 18, 1924, On Febru- ary 26, 1924, the Senate requested the President to return the nomination and resolution of rejection and Mr. Cohen's nomination was finally con- firmed March 17, 1824. This record shows that Mr. Cohen Was given a recess appointment not- withstanding that he had been re- jected by the Senate. Another case was that of Dr. Wil- liam D. Crum, colored, to be collector 94 customs at Charleston, S. C., who was appointed by Theodore Roosevelt January 5, 1903. His nomination w not confirmed by the Senate and he was given a recess appointment until he was finally confirmed January ¢ 1905, Warren's Stand Unknown. I'nder the language of the Consti- tution the President is authorized to fill a'l vacancies that may pen during the recess of the Senate and such appointments run until the end of the next session of the Sen- ate. Should the President grant him a recess appointment he would serve, —unfess some action was taken by the Senate later, until the | close of the next session of the Sen- ate. If in the nexi session ha should be confirmed, that weuld -ettle the matter. If he should be rejected, in the opinion of some Senators he could not serve until the end of the next session. Under the wording of the Constitution it would seem that his commission would run until the end of the next session. Whether Mr. Warren, who is re- maining here as the President's guest, would accept a recess appoint- ment was a matter on which there has been no Information. He could draw no salary until confirmed by the Senate at a later session, al- though it is contended that he could continue to hold office not only throughout the recess, but until the | end of the session of Congress which begins next December. The language of the Constitution on this point is |as follows: | “The President shall have power to fill all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate by | granting commissions, which shall expire at the end of their next ses- sion.” Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin and Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, Dem- ocrat, were other absentees who re- turned to Washington te vote on Mr. Warren. was re- in of in the District of Colum- | session of | hap- | period of four years” By comparing the 192 tions with those of 1926 said. there has been a | reduotion” in some departments lan analysis will show that had not heen for the “rapidly dimin |ishing” war activities and war ob ligations, the 1926 appropriations “would have greatiy exceeded those| | tor 182 appropria- Mr. Byrns considerable | but | it it Allowanee for Navy. discussing separately the mone1 appropriation bil, Mr. Byras said, the Navy was allotted in “ac tual cash” for 1926, a total of $31%, 402,328, “as against 3278175460 for $1925. and $150,000,600, the largest |amount ever spent in time of peace lfor the maintenance of the Navy, {back in 1914 “This huge sum.
