Seemed Iminent at Nine O'clock Last
Night Democrats Using Every
Effort to Defeat the Ma
jority's Program.
Washington, April 2. Fcrmal no
tice was served on the Democrats In
the. house toilay by Payne, of New
York, leader of the inaiority, that
front that time on tho Republicans
would lock horns with tho Democrats
end carry through a program of the
inajoi Ity, in spite of any attempt of
the minority, under the leadership of
Williams, of Mississippi, 1o dictate
the character of the legislation tj l.e
i nacted.
Immediately undertaking to carry
this schedule into effect, he forced
the latest sitting of the session. IJoth
sides, were able to keep their mem
bers in their seats and It soon became
evident that tho threatened Demo
cratic filibuster was on In real earn
st, and the Republicans determined
to at least test the sincerity of their
opponents.
The Democrats, after the passage
of the agricultural appropriation bill,
had 'interposed obstructive tactics
against any business being done
After several measures had been re
fused consideration by reason ol
these tactics, Payne called p a rese
ll;! ion to refer to a committee the
president's recent special message to
congress. Observing that the Demo
rate were preparing to place ob
rtrurtinu in the way of its ct nsldera
tiou, unless amide time should be
given for a eoneral debate, Payne as
serted that "because of the hypocrisy
of those on the other stile." meaning
the Democrats, no general defeat
would be allowed.
Payne denounced tho democratic
filibuster-begun last. Monday in pur
Biiune'e of the notice given by Wil
liams a week ago, and characterized
the action of Williams as "puerile."
The Democrats, he contended, were
in no position to lay down the pro
gram of action for the Republicans.
"The majority," he said, "have
charge of the business of the horse,
and business will go through Just ns
the majority decide it. shall go
through." Shorts of Republican ap
proval greeted this utterance.
Discussing the president's message
Payne asserted that there never had
been any doubt about a new em
ployer's liability law being enacted at
this session. He gave notice that h
would in the future object, to al'
Democratic requests for unanimous
consent or for a time to speak.
The session then became a scene
c.f much excitement as both sides
contended for the mastery. Motion
Piter motion was made, amendment
followed amendment, roll call sue
eeded roll call, and every device
known to the filibuster was resorted
to. Votes recorded were always on
patty lines, the Republicans being in
variably in the majority.
At 9 o'clock tonight indications
favored an nil night session.
Carrying $11,508,8fi. the agricul

Democrat, characterizing as social

With the agricultural bill out of the

of any further business.

jTait rounded out a busy day here by
I speaking tonight at the annual dinner
lef the' Columbus I'.uard cf Trade. The

called to Columbus by the meet in.:;
of I lie Republican Mate central com
mittee for piTlectin;; a state ( rgani.u
lion. In the evening Tail addressed a
large audience at the annual dime r
of the Columbus hoard of trade.
Tall said i:i part, devoting his.
.speech to the army:
"Wo nee, an army," he said, "for
three purposes; first, as an essential
to any satisfactory system of nation il
defense; second, as an indesponsald
instrument in oairylng out our estab
lished international policy; third, f.r
the suppression of Insurrection and
civil si rife."
Ri fel ling to the Monroe doctrin e
Taft said:
"How could we maintain such a dor
trine if it should ever be qui Htloued l'i
the strenuous race for trade, and fo:'
colonizat i: n, that now Is rife among
Euiopoau powirs? Could we do it
otherwise that, by cxpoditory force to
the country invaiUd for the purpose
of assisting local forces In repelling
the Invader?,
"It in true that our navy, enlnrgtl
as It is, wouhl discharge the most
ustfi.il functii n in the defense of an
invaded country, but it could make
but little headway against hostile
forces landed therein, and after that,
the only method of asserting our in
ternational policy would be by th)
use of the army of the United States.
"Of course, there is no probability
of a recurrence rf the great civil war
but should the forces of anarchy and
socialism and revolt against organized
government manifest themselves, well
organized militia wouhl bo most nec
essary. Suppression of local disturb
ances is the regular army a very un
pleasant duty, and it is one to which
tlie president should summon regular
troi is with great reluctance. An In
crease in tho efficiency of the militia
which we may anticipate may well re
lieve the regular army of any such
duty. The mora! effec t of the regular
army, however, to discuragn lawless
ness is valuable.
The history of this country since
the beginning of the revolutionary
war shows that during at least, one
fourth of the life of the country, the
g vcrnment has had war on its hands
in some part of its territory. It is.
therefore, most, unwise to prophesy as
to what? may happen in this respect in
the future."
in support of his argument for n
well trained army. Taft declared:
"Wo have no right as a nation to
ask our citizens to expose themselves
as enlisted mm in battle without
reducing the chances of disaster and
death by pi per military education of
'he officers and proper military train
ing of the men."
