Accom panying the ohirrnan to the committee room, Mr. La Follette the notices to members of the committee were written, and then set about notifying democratic members and a couple of friendly republicans of the Importance of being present. The result was that a favorable report was ordered on the bill, but one of the republican members changed his vote and then moved a re consideration.
