THE MORXIXG OREGONIAU. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1915. SHIP BILL BURDEN BE SHIFTED AY Democrats Believe They Have Way to Compel Republicans . t to Keep Up Fight. OPPOSITION TAKES REST Vote May Be Forced Monday on Mo tion to recommit "Without In structions Senator Varda man Assails Stone. WASHINGTON". Feb. 6. Administra tion Democrats of the Senate believed tonight they had found a way to turn the burden of the ship purchase bill fight back to the Republican side, from whence it was shifted to their own shoulders so suddenly last Monday by the alliance of Insurgent Democrats and minority members. Despite the fact that they found themselves still lacking- votes to carry a motion to recommit the bill with in structions for Its amendment, the Demo crats inaugurated today the first move in a substitute plan when Senator Gore, who Introduced an amended ship bill yesterday, moved to discharge the com merce committee from its considera tion. Opponents Force Recess. The champions of the bill, after a careful canvass of the situation, today believe they can pet votes enough to carry the Gore motion and In that way the amended bill, which virtually is the caucus measure, with changes designed to draw support from llic progressive Jlcpubllcans, can be reported back to the Senate, and thereby force the Re publicans to resume their defensive fight to prevent the bill from coming to a final vote. In view of this situation, the allied opposition forces determined today on a rest and rallied enough votes to force a recess of the Senate until Monday, rians Depend on Votes. If on Monday the Democratic "leaders find that they have enough votes, counting on the Vine-President in case of a tie, they will attempt to get a vote on the motion to recommit with Instructions. If not, some of the lead ers believe it would be well to let the Clarke motion to discharge the com mittee go to a vote. On this they be lieve that they can get the support of Senators Kenyon. Norrls and Lab'ollette nd thus get the bill back to the stage of general debate. There were many rumors today that the bill might be laid aside, after stren uous efforts to pass it within the next week, so that appropriation measures may be considered. Colleagues Assail Stone. The Senate was enlivened today by peeches of Insurgent and regular Dem ocrats, rehearsing the revolt over the bill. Senators Hardwtck and Varda man vigorously defended their posi tions In revolting and assailed .Senator Stone for his attack on them. Senator James asraln criticised his coileagues and particularly arraigned Senator Camden, who, he said, would "hold up the hands of the President, while the Republicans tied them." "I would rather be a Senator from xny own state tiiree weeks and be my own man than serve here three decades and do the will of somebody else," said Senator Hardwlck. Senator Vardaman launched Into a reply to Senator Stone's recent bitter speech to the bolting Democrats. He referred to Mr. Stone as "the learned Senatorial scold from Missouri," "past master in mock heroics who held his colleagues up to publlo scorn be cause they refused to follow his im perious dictation."
