resumed today as soon as the newlyelected senator. Mr. Brookhart ofIowa, was sworn in. The secretaryproceeded to read the journal of yesterday'sproceedings, when SenatorCurtis of Kansas asked unanimousconsent to dispense with the readingof the journal.Democratic Deader Underwood, with

an air of profound regret, said hewas sorry to be unable to agree withhis colleague upon the unanimousconsent request, but that reauy tnestate of the public business was so

perilous at this time that he felt constrainedto insist upon the readingof the journal.

Correction or Journal.

After the journal was concludedSenator Harrison Of Mississippi receivedrecognition and said it was

highly important .that the journal ofthe session of November 29 should becorrected. The journal stated thatthe journal of the preceding day hadbeen read by the secretary while infact it had been read by Mr. Crockett,the reading clerk."Therefore," said Senator Harrison,

witb an air of great seriousness, "sothat succeeding generations mayknow who did read the journal, Ishall move to insert that It was readby Mr. Crocketf."

then obtained the floor, and he hadbefore him an imposing array ofbooks. He started out by saying thatwhen any substantial number of senatorsare convinced that a bill is unconstitutionaland transgresses therights of the state, they are warrantedin filibustering against it. Moreover,he said, it did not lie in the mouthsof the republicans to object to filibusteringagainst this bill, becausethey have shown "they would filibusteragainst any old thing."Pointing to Senator Smoot of Utah,

he recalled that he had filibusteredthrough a whole night against the proposalto purchase German ships whichwere interned."Yes, and successfully," said SenatorSmoot.Charges Efforti to Get Vote*.x nai a x igui, oaiu ociiitiur uverSan,"just as we expect this filibusterbe a success." He went on to recallthat Senator Jones of Washingtonhad conducted a long filibuster.

Also that the late Senator Gallinger,"whom everybody loved," had spokenfor eight hours and was never a wellman afterward."Senator Overman charged that the

republicans were urging this bill inorder to cater to the negro vote, anddeclared that senators who had beenmost prominent in supporting it hadgone to defeat in the late election.He denounced it as a sectional measure.and insisted that no sectional- legislationshould pass.

' SMCABINET BACKING"HARDINGIN 1924"

Statement of Hoover Believedto Express Views ofOther Members.

SETS RUMORS AT REST

Failure to Renominate President {Would Be Considered Confession,

Clark Case Cited.

BV DAVID I<AWHENCE,Secretary Hoover's remark in an interviewon the Pacific c^ast that Presjident Harding "obviously will he the

candidate in 1924" was hardly a

casual observation. Other membersof the cabinet here feel the same

way., For some time outside of Washing- jton there has been an idea that in jMr. Harding's cabinet sat at least twoor three potential candidates for thepresidency.namely. Secretaries Hoo-ver, Weeks and Hughes. All threehave figured prominently in the presi-dential campaigns of 1916 and 1920.and their friends are no less enthu-siastic for them today.Hut Mr. Hoover stated a truism.if

Mr. Harding wishes to run again, heis the logical candidate. The repub-lican party can hardly risk a publicrepudiation of its own administrationby denying a second term to the manwho nas neen at hip neac 01 mat aa-ministration. Champ Clark was atone time in much the same position !as Mr. Hoover. The venerable Speakerof the House had nearly won the nomination in 1912 and was looked uponby many of his admirers as a certaincandidate for 1916. but he dismissed Ithe idea with a wave of the hand.declaring that if Woodrow Wilsonhad made a good President, in theopinion of the democratic party, he jdeserved to be renominated, and if hehad made a poor record then thenomination wasn't worth having.

domination Is Logical."That's precisely the meaning of

Mr. Hoover's comment. If Warreni Harding's administration ranks highin the esteem of the republican party.and Mr. Hoover evidently thinksso, because he is a vital parV of thissame Harding administration.thenthe party cannot do anything elsebut nominate Mr. Harding. If itdosen't wish to do so. It will be proof.conclusive that the Harding recordisn't strong enough on which anyrepublican candidate can hope to winand the nomination would be an

empty honor.There is. of course, the possibility,

often discussed during the recentcampaign, that Mr. Harding willvoluntarily withdraw, and that hewill not seek the renomination. butwill let It he known plainly that hedosen't want to continue the arduoustasks and responsibilities of the presidency.In such event there wouldbe little opportunity for the cry tobe raised that the republican partydidn't wish to renominate Mr. Hardinc:.and the field would be open toany member of the cabinet.

Polities Throat I pon Him.

Mr. Hoover has had a rather curiouspolitical experience. He didn't seekpolitical attention in the first place,but had thrust upon him an overIwhelming sentiment which commandied him to get into the contest. Heused to tell his friends that becausehe had had no previous political afjfiliation of an active kind it was a

emergency existing in the country,gave a gloomy picture of the conditions"of the farmers of the west.He said that the farmers had beenthe hardest hit by the readjustmentperiod after the war. Although uponagriculture depends the welfare ofall the industries of the country, hesaid that farming has not been establishedon a paying basis, perhapson a business basis."We must have state aid and federalaid to put the farmers on their

feet today and bring about bettertimes throughout the nation," saidMr. Frazier.He told of hundreds of acres plant-

ed in potatoes in North Dakota whichhad never been dug this year becausethe prices received for potatoes didnot pay for the cost, yet potatoes, hesaid, are retailing: here at $1.75 to $11a bushel. The farmers of the northwest.he said, are compelled to pay8, 9 and 10 per cent on loans madeto them, and the mortages run forfive years. It is impossible for thefarmers to do business at this rateand live. The transportation situation,he said, was very bad, with manycars tied up for lack of motive power.

Would Stabilise Prices."There should be something done

to stabilise prices of farm products/'said Mr. Frasier. He added, however,that it would do Httle good to fixthe prices of farm products and notto fix the prices of things the farmerhas to buy.Progressives were successful at th*>

recent election because the peoplerealized they had the necessary "intestinalstamina" to stand up and fightin the interest of the people. Senator
