WHAT TWO VOTES SHOW 



56 



In the two votes taken on the Weeks 

 bill, that in the Sixtieth Congress and 

 that in the Sixty-first, all but fifty-two 

 members of the present House have 

 gone on record. Owing to the condi- 

 tions under which the vote was taken 

 in the present House, many of the 

 members having left Washington, the 

 vote was lighter than that in the Six- 

 tieth Congress. A comparison of the 

 individual records, as shown in the pre- 

 ceding statement, show that there were 

 twelve changes from "No" to "Yes" — 

 three in Illinois, two in Pennsylvania, 

 and one each in California, Kansas, 

 Michigan, New Jersey, New York, 

 Ohio, and Wisconsin. There were five 

 changes from "Yes" to "No"— three in 

 Ohio, one in Illinois, and one in Vir- 

 ginia. This takes account only of per- 

 sonal votes, and does not include the 

 votes of new members whose prede- 

 cessors may have voted in the same or 

 in a dififerent way. Considering this 

 individual record, it is interesting to 

 tabulate the standing of the present 

 House as shown by the two record 

 votes. This is given in the following 

 table. In making up these figures, 

 members who voted differently in the 

 two Congresses are placed according 

 to their last vote. Those who did not 

 vote this year, but who did vote in the 

 Sixtieth Congress, are placed according 

 to their vote at that time. This gives a 

 fair estimate, and it is evident that very 

 few changes would have occurred.

While this successful fight was being 

 waged in the House, the bill had come 

 up in the Senate, and very different and 

 very unexpected conditions developed 

 there. On the 22d of June, Mr. Brand- 

 egee moved the consideration of the 

 bill, which was popularly known in that 



body as the Gallinger bill. On a roll 

 call this was voted forty-eight to six- 

 teen, with twenty-eight senators not 

 voting. This made the bill the unfin- 

 ished business of the Senate, and Sena- 

 tor Brandegee at that time contented 

 himself with putting in the bill, together
