be delayed only so that everyone
might be heard.
Administration leaders until today
had paid little attention to reports
that Representative Kitchin would
oppose the resolution. Eather look
ing to him as the man who would
have to lead the fight for revenue,
they talked with him freely of the
financial phase of the situation.
Kitchin Deaf to Pleas..
Aroused by reports of his attitude,
Democratic leaders hastened to his of
fice today to find that he had pre
pared in part a speech opposing the
resolution.
Fellow members of the House and
Senators pleaded vainly with iiim to
abandon his plan. Possible loss of the
House leadership and his forced exile
from public life, as well as the de
mands of patriotism, were pointed out
to him.
Finally, shortly before 3 o'clock,
after almost continuous conferences
for six hours, Representative Kitchin
announced publicly that he would
speak against the resolution. His en
trance into the chamber shortly after
ward caused a quickening of lagging
interest.
Representative Hensley, of Mis
souri, who on Tuesday said he would
vote for the resolution, hastily an
nounced he had decided it was his duty
to oppose it. Others who had deserted
the pacifist camp said they were think
ing seriously and probably would vote
in the negative.
Ob'iously wearied by the- day's
events, Mr. Kitchin spoke without his
usual fire.
"In view of the many assumptions
of loyalty and patriotism," he said, "on
the part of some of those who favor
the resolution and insinuations by them
of cowardice and disloyalty on the part
of those who oppose it, off-shoots
doubtless, of the passionate moment, let
me at once remind the House that it
takes neither moral nor physical cour
age to declare a war for others to fight.
It is evidence of neither disloyalty nor
patriotism for one to urge others to
pet into war when he knows that he
himself is going to keep out.
"The depth of my horror, the In
tensity of my distress in contemplating
the measureless steps proposed, God
only knows. Too grave is the respon
sibility for anyone to permit another
to stand sponsor for my conscience. My
conscience and judgment, after mature
thought and fervent prayer for rightful
guidance, have pointed out clearly the
path of my duty, and I have made up
my mind to walk in it if I go bare
footed and alone."
Mr. Kitchin was heartily applauded
from all sides as he concluded.
Galleries were only half filled when
debate began and less than half the
members were present when the ses
sion opened. Under tne unanimous con
cent rule, by which the resolution was
being considered. Representative Flood
could move the previous question at
any time after one hour and if sus
tained bring the measure to a, vote. He
was disposed, however, to give mem
bers every opportunity to speak
throughout the day. The debate began
without any limitation.
"War is being made upon our coun
try and its people," Representative
Flood said in opening. "Our ships are
being sunk. Our non-combatant citi
zens, including men, women and chil
dren, are being murdered, our merchant
men are being denied the freedom of
the seas. There is no choice as to our
course. We are compelled by the acts
of the German government to enter
into this most colossal war.
"We should take our stand by the
aide of the allied nations who have
been fighting humanity's battles for
two and one-half years, determined
that our power shall be so employed
that complete victory shall crown their
efforts and that Prussian militarism
phall be crushed and the world shall

ger of the Hohenzollern dynasty."
Political Threat Disregarded.
Representative Siegel, of New York,
Republican, favoring the resolution,
said he could not disregard the fact
that "though we cry peace Germany
answers ty warring against us.
"During this week," ha said, "inti
mations have come to me that political
expediency required me to cast my vote
against this resolution and that con
trary action on my part would mean a
general effort from now on to end my
Congressional career. I would be un
worthy of American citizenship were I
to be deterred from acting by such
warnings. 1 say to my colleagues who
are now hesitating that the people will
know whether they are for this great
land of freedom and religious liberty
or whether they are going to be guided
simply by the selfish question whether
they will obtain more votes In 1918 by
standing on the side of our foe. Let
us give evidence to the world that we
are united."
Representative Harrison, Democrat
of Mississippi, assailed pro-German
sympathizers and pacifists.
"I would suggest to them," he said,
"that they now employ their talents
and eloquence, not in attempting to

mermann note."
Applause Greets Defense j
First expressions of the opposition to
the resolution came from Represents- j
tives Cooper and Stafford of Wisconsin
and Representative Britten of Illinois,
while Mr. Flood was recounting Ger
man violations of American rights.
"Would the English mines in the
North sea destroy American lives?"
Representative Cooper asked.
"To date Lngland never has sunk one
of our ships or destroyed an American
life, Mr. Flood said.
Loud applause greeted the reply. He
said 16 members had asked for time
in which to speak against the resolu
tion.
Representative Cooper launched into
defense of pacifists generally and
himself in particular.
"I nave been called a pacifist, he
said. "I voted for all of these pre
paredness bills. This campaign of slan
der has no regard for the truth."
Cooper also defended his vote for
the McLemore resolution.
"I was right then," he said "and so
were the 144 other members who voted
for it. It should have passed. Canada
does not permit its women to travel
on armed ships and neither should we.
Lvery pacifist in the country knows I
am not a pacifist in the sense in which
that word is used. Does it mean be
cause I do not want to go to war with,
a nation 4000 miles away, because Eng
land and Germany have violated our
rights, I am not an American?"
Mr. Cooper declared that the German
government never had promised un
qualifiedly to abandon its submarine
warfare. Representative Flood made
loud demands to be heard, but Cooper
would not yield.
Unity In War Avowed.
Mr. Cooper closed with the declara
tion that while all would stand united
when war comes, he would not be one
to vote to plunge the country into war.
Representative Britten, Illinois, Re
publican, declared he was not a pacif
ist in any sense, but was opposed to
the resolution. Some Democrats, he
said, had told him they were opposed
to the resolution, but would vote for it.
Representative Harrison, of Mississippi,
and Representative Helflin, of Ala
bama, Democrats, called fornames of
such Democrats, and Britten replied by
declaring 75 per cent of the Democratic
members were really personally not in
favor of it and that 90 per cent of the
people of the country were against
going to war.
Britten had read an amendment he
said he would later offer, providing
that no part of the military forces of
the United States should be ordered to
do land duty in Europe until so di
rected by Congress. This aroused ap
plause from a small number on both
the Republican and Democratic sides.
Interest in the debate waned and by
1:30 o'clock less than 75 members were
on the floor. The diplomatic and exec
utive galleries were empty and there
were many unoccupied seats in the
public galleries.
Representative Igoe, Democrat, of
Missouri, announced that he would vote
against declaring war because he
thought his people desired that he
should.
"With the passage of this resolution,
however," he said, "my opposition will
cease. I will vote for every measure
to help carry on the war."
Kitchin Against Mtararr.
Word that Democratic Leader Kitchin
would speak and vote against the reso
lution quickly filled the Chamber. He
began his unexpected onslaughtron the
war resolution soon after 3 o'clock.
After saying that he would not criti
cise those who would vote for it, he
declared he thought he should vote his
convictions regardless of consequences.
"I know my vote will be criticised
from one end of the country to the
other," said Kitchin. "I cannot leave
to my children land and riches, nor
fame, but I can leave to them a name
that regardless of consequences I never
hesitated to vote my convictions."
Kitchin spoke slowly and with great
emphasis. His voice showed the efr
fects of the strain under which he
labored.
"Prayerfully Impressed with the
gravity of the situation and appreciat
ing the penalties that war will Im
pose," said he, "my conscience and
judgment have shown the path of my
duty and I must tread It it I tread It
barefooted and alone. I have prayed
for guidance. I have reached the con
clusion that I must vote against this
resolution."
The pacifist group, who were ready
two days ago to vote for the resolu
tion, cheered up noticeably over Kitch
en's attitude. Representative Hensley,
of Missouri, announced that he now
would vote against the resolution. Other
wavering pacifists, he said, would Join
with him.
Senator La Follette Smiles.
A broad smile possessed the face of
Senator La Follette, who sat in the
rear of the chamber. He opposed the
resolution In the Senate.
Kitchin said he was not surt that
the United States put In SftHl situ
ation that Germanr Is In with re
spect to Its Lurepean enemies might
not resort to the same violations of
neutrality that Germany has been
guilty of. "Are we quite sure." he
asked, "If we were In war with Ger
many and Japan, with our spies help
less, with our commerce swept off the
seas, with our food scarce, with our
arms and ammunition for our soldiers
denied us, that we would not In our
last struggle strike at our enemy with
the only weapon we could, even though
it be a violation of neutrality?
"In this case no invasion is threat
ened. No foot of our territory Is in
danger. No vital right Is contested.
The acts of Germany are not directed
directly at us. We are a-sked to make
common cause, with Great .ritain and
France to support a cause, right or
wrong. Every feeling ' of humanity
combines to keep us out of war.
"When Congress has passed such a
resolution as is pending, and then only,
will it be the duty of the Nation to
make the voice of. the Government Its
voice. Until then each persbn should
have the inherent right to voice and
vote Ills convictlcr.."
Kitchin referred to the British clos
ing of the North Sea, and said no lives
were lost there, as Americans stayed
out of that zone.
German Acts Defended.
"We did not i to war over that,"
he said. "We know that the acts of
Germany are not aimed at us, but are
aimed at crippling her enemy. Are we
quite sure that the real reason for war
is the destruction of American lives
rather than, destruction of American
property? We did not wage war on
Mexico. We were willing to forego our
rights, with Great Britain and with
Mexico rather than plunge Into war
while the whole world was in con
flagration. I approved that course
then and do so now."
Mr. Kitchin closed with admission
that the resolution would pass. There
was a scattering of applause, and then
Representative Rogers, of Massachu
setts, begcr. to speak. He recited a
long list of cases in which Germany
had Invaded the rights of the United
States.
The lst compiled by the State De
partment showed that In the last two
years and two months 226 American
lives have been lost as a result of Il
legal attacks on vessels by German
s jbmarines.
Representative Flood Interrupted the
debate to announce to the house the
sinking of the unarmed American ship
Missourlan, without warning and prob
ably with the loss of American lives.
Representative London, New York, So
cialist, violently opposed the resol-ion.
He said the President's plan was for
conscription, while President McKlnley,
In the war with Spain, called only for
volunteers, showed that the President
realizes the people. are against the war
with Germany He said that war is
indefensible.
Representative Sherwood, of Ohio,
said he was opposed to the resolution
In the form which permits sending
troops abroad.
t-'nele Joe" for Bill.
Former Speaker Cannon, supporting
the war resolution, said this was no
time for partisan discussion, that the
United States is not ready tor war now
but must prepare at once. Remarking
that he had heard it suggested that the
President . be Impeached for arming
ships, Mr. Cannon said:
"We wouia not make much headway
there." 'He defended the loyalty of
American cltizers of German birth.
Amid enthusiastic applause, the former
Speaker announced his intention of
voting for war.
Representative Dill, of Washington,
saying he had spent sleepless nights
considering the war question, declared
he finally had decided to vote apainst
the resolution, because ho believed It
the highest duty of the United States
to keep out of the European conflict.
Once in. he added, the Government
would receive his entire support.
Representative Sloan, of Nebraska,
Republican, declared the sober second
thought of the American people, in
cluding Congress, is being felt and. that
ten days' delay of the vote would de
feat the resolution in its present shape.
Representative Lenroot. of Wiscon
sin, Republican, Said he would support
the resolution, because not to do so
would mean "that we will submit to
Germany warring on us without using
force to prevent it." He denied that
England, in planting mines in the North
Sea and creating a military zone there,
had violated international law.
Flood Asks for Prompt Action.
Toward 7 o'clock Chairman Flood, In
charge of the resolution, sought an
agreement to have the committee of
the whole rise at 8 and report the reso
lution in the House with a vjew to
early action. .
There was Immediate opposition.
Speaker Clark said everybody ought
to have a right to speak and the House
should stay In session until early
hours of the morning or all night if
necessary. Mr. Flood then withdrew
his request and speeches were resumed.
Shortly before 9 o'clock Representa
tive Mann, the Republican leader, took
the floor to support the resolution. He
praised the courage of those opposing,
but said there was nothing for Con
gress to do but stand by the President.
"For two and one-half years I have
done all in my power by voice and vote
to keep this country out of the Euro
pean war.
"Now the situation Is changed the
President of the United States, who has
the responsibility of dealing with for
eign countries and who is the spokes
man of the people with the nations
of the world, has asked us to declare
war.
"The only thing left for us to do Is
to stand by the President elected by the
people. We cannot say to the world
that our goal is gold, that our only
desire is wealth. We must, when the
question is presented to us, declare we
will maintain the rights of Americans
abroad as well as at home."
At 9 o'clock general debate closed
and discussion under the five-minute
rule began. -
Chairman Flood's suggestion that all
debate close at 11:45 o'clock brought a
storm of "noes."
Some members expressed a desire to
reach a vote -before midnight because
tomorrow is "Good Friday."
Representative Gardner, Republican,
of Massachusetts, said the United States
is not going to war for 200 murdered
Americans, but for the rights of man.
Representative Decker, of Missouri,
said. he believed In National honqr, but
did not think "we would sacrifice it
if we did not go to war."
Calls for "Vote" Blade.
As the night wore on there were
loud calls for "vote" from members
anxious to get away. . Representative
Hulburt tried ineffectually to secure
agreement that if a vote were not had
by midnight, which would encroach, he
said, on "Good Friday," tne House ad
journ over unty Saturday.
Representative Rainey, of Illinois,
told the House. "We war not against
the people, we war against the Hohen
zollerns." Representative .Moore (Pennsylva
nia), Small (North Carolina) and. others
urged a united front for defense of
American rights.
Representative Sims, of Tennessee,
angrily protested that time was being
frittered away in speches and wanted
Immediate action.
Republican Leader Mann counseled
patience.
"We'll gain nothing more." he said,
"by a vote at midnight than by a vote
at 6 o'clock tomorrow, and It's too im
portant a matter not to have debate."

Rising: to Defense of "Wilful
Men" In TJ. S. Senate.
OREGOKTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 6. There are no pacifists
In the Oregon delegation In the House
of Representatives. All three. Repre
sentatives McArthur, Hawley and Sin
nott, lined up today for the war reso
lution, though none spoke upon it to
day. ,
The pacifists developed In the Wash
ington delegation. Representative La
Follette. Republican, and Representa
tive Dill, Democrat, both of whom aired
their views in brief speeches In oppo
sition to the war resolution. The Idaho
members stood with the President.
Mr. Hawley Supports DHL
Representative Hawley spoke today
for the first time since the war Issue
arose, and set forth his views In the
following authorized statement:
"Ever since the war In Europe be
gan I have earnestly hoped we could
avoid becoming Involved in It. and that
we should observe a strict and impar
tial neutrality. I have been for the
United Stitea and against no other
country.
"But the progress of events Indicates
that we cannot avoid war in any event,
under the circumstances. War Is now
being waged upon the United States
and her people by the imperial German
government. The acts of which we
complain have been Increasing in grav
ity. It is the declared purpose to con
tinue them. No great nation could or
would refuse to resist them.
Mr. McArthur Is Loyal.
"I shall vote for the resolution under
a solemn sense of public duty, pro
foundly regretting the necessity, be
lieving that no other honorable and pa
triotic course is open to me under the
circumstances. I believe all our citi
zens, irrespective of descent, will loy
ally support our common country."
Representative McArthur. who spoke
previously and supported the President
from the tlmo he addressed Congress
Monday night, made this statement:
"I voted for the resolution and have
no apologies to offer for my action.
We have 'endured the insults and out
rages of Prussionlsm long enough. The
time has come for drastic action. I
shall vote for the necessary authority
and appropriations to carry on the
war to successful termination, for I
feel that the permanency and security
of democracy, not only here in America,
but throughout the world, are at stake.
Those who attempt to Justify Ger
many's submarine policy because of
Great Britain's interference with our
commerce failed to take into considera
tion the fact that the damage Inflicted
by Great Britain can be adjusted in an
Admiralty Court, -while the lives of
defenseless women and children on the
ships that have been torpedoed without
warning and of American sailors who
have been ruthlessly slaughtered can
not be restored by any human power.
Dill Opposes War.
"Now that war has been decided
upon, there should be no hesitation or
vacillation until the llohenzollerns have
been completely crushed. The country
is facing, its severest crisis since the
days of the Civil War, and It Is the
duty of every patriotic citizen to uphold
the hande of the Administration and the
Congress."
Representative Dill, of Washington,
in a 10-mlnute speech, said In part:
"The real reason for going Into this
war is for the purpose of trading with
the aHies. For my part I am unwilling
to vote to send the boys to war because
we cannot trade with the countries now
at war.
"The resolution declares that a state
of war exists. That Is a legal fiction
by which we propose to try to Justify
to the world our entering into this war.
If we get into this war we begin It.
"I object to going Into the war. I
do not know what the future holds
for me, and do not care. I refuse to
do that which I believe to be the great
est crime ever perpetrated upon our
people, namely, to drag them into the
war on the side of the allies.
"But when this resolution passes my
opposition Is over. I am an American
and. I shall vote for every measure for
the purpose of winning this war."
LaFollette Backs Senator.
Representative La Follette, of Wash
ington, after a two-hour conference
with Senator Robert La Follette, of
Wisconsin, tonight spoke against the
war resolution. Earlier he said Sen
ator La Follette In his speech yeeterday
had correctly voiced his own views.
The Senator's speech, he said, was "un
answerable." In his speech Represen
tative La Follette criticised the Presi
dent for denunciation of the 12 willful
Senators, saying such denunciation was
an attempt at coerc'on. He added: "The
President on April 2 said the European
war was brought on by Germany's rul
ers without the sanction of the people.
For God's sake, what are we doing
now? Does the President feel that the
will of the American people is being
consulted in regard to this declaration
of war? The people of Germany surely
had as much consideration as be had
given the people of the United States.
He has heard the cry of the Shylocks
calling for 'their pound of flesh.' "
La Follette suggested that no young
men should enlist for war until all
newspaper editors advocating war, am
munition makers and rich men who
have. floated war loans have offered
themselves and their eligible sons on
the altar of their country.
At midnight Representative Johnson,
of Washington, addressed the House,
pledging the loyalty of every citizen
of Washington. He said the Washing
ton Legislature, foreseeing war was in
evitable, had voted half a million dol
lars to get the Washington troops in
readiness. Pierce County Is donating
American Lake camp site to the Gov
ernment for military use. Having re
cently been home, Johnson said he knew
there was no divlston of sentiment in
his district and state, that Washington
will loyally support the President.
Representative Miller, of Seattle,
made his maiden speech In the early
morning hours, declaring his support
of the war resolution and his Intention
to stand by the President.

Sliow Feelings of Any Num
ber of People of State.
SAX FRANCISCO. April 5. (Special.)
Indignant at the action of United
States Senator Harry Lane, of Oregon.
In voting as one of the six "wilful
men" against the war resolution at
Washington last night, a group of Ore
gon bankers, who are here to plead for
a branch of the Federal Reserve Bank
at Portland, prepared tonight to take
action to repudiate. If not recall Sen
ator Lane.
Headed by Emery Olmstead, vice
president of the Northwestern National
Bank, of Portland, and J. C. Alnsworth,
president of the United States National
Kank, of the Bame city, the Oregonians
held an indignation meeting at the
Palace Hotel
"We want It made plain that Senator
Lane does not by his vote represent any
part of his constituency," said Mr. Olm
stead. "We are absolutely disgusted with
him and will resent his disgraceful ac
tion with considerable force. If the
legal machinery makes it feasible, you
can be assured that Lane will be
speedily recalled."
Mr. Alnsworth added his protest to
that of Mr. Olmstead.
Both men are directors of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce.
"Lane's vote represents his personal
whim," said Mr. Alnsworth. "It repre
sents no part of the public sentiment
In Oregon, and we will leave no stone
unturned to vindicate our loyalty and
patriotism before the country."
