This would be quite interesting, if true. The fact is that when Poindexter voted against the les amendment he was in the same company with th well known protectionists as Senator Elihu Root, nator Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator Reed Smoot, Sen- William Alden Smith, Senator Townsend, Senator Stephenson, one of the biggest lumbermen in the The fact is that only six senators, including Jones if, voted for the Jones amendment. And another fact is that the 1911 session never ed a tariff law at all, there having been a deadlock een the house and the senate. In 1909, the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was passed. 1913, the Underwood bill was passed. In 1909, Rep. Jim Tawney of Minnesota, a rank} tandpatter, introduced an amendment for free lumber. ator Poindexter voted against that, and voted FOR a on lumber.
