There was no disposition on the part of democratic senators to favor the author of the bill In4 that manner and some of them said that notwithstanding Keegan's request the bill would be pushed through the senate In the form agreed on.

In getting the bill Into the fbrm in which it will ai after amended, it Is said Senators Stotsenburg and Klstler,took the most prominent part. These two senators, while they had no amendments of their own. Inserted in the bill. It Is said were "good listeners" and di'd more than any other senators to crwstalllze the agreements which put through the amendments finally adopted by the caucus. Senator Akin was the senator that put up the strongest fight again changing the bill. Senators, Shively, Farrell, Sullivan and Harlan were among those who did not look any too kindly on the changes made. A number of democrats did not attend the caucus.

her within two years. She was the mother of ten children. ,
