PORTLAND. Or, SepL 7.-(fft
Asoclated Press.) Charles ' G.
Dawes, vice president ot the Unit
ed Sutes, brought 6500 persons
at the public auditorium to their
feet here tonight in a rising rote
that pledged support to a reform
in senate rules and roused his
hearers to applause for the cause
he has consistently championed
since his Inauguration last March.
To the American people he ssld.
he was taking the issue. I be
lieve you are with me," he de
clared at the close ot his address
and roars ot approval answered
bJm from packed floor and galler
ies ot the big building. h
Mr. DawM declared he would
win the crusade for senate'rule
reform saying that he relied upon
the common aense ot the American
people to see to it that bills were
no longer talked to death or
changed to their hurt through ar
chaic rules that allowed individual
senators to trade and win advan
tage by exercise ot prerogatives. -
It stands to reason," said Mr.
Dawes, "that any body which for
the privilege of acting as a unit
must make concessions to. its in
dividual members will pass more
legislation other things beig
equal than a body that does not
operate under that handicap. The
facts are that In the last five ses
sions ot congress, the senate with
96 members has passed 182 more
bills and resolution than -.the
house of representatives, with 45
members.
"The senate passed Its larger
number ot 3113 bills and resolu
tions In those "10 years out of a
total ot about 29,000 introduced.
And the house, with majority clo
ture passed its lesser number of
2930 out of about 82.000 bUls and
resolutions introduced.
'Since May 12. 1110. 66 dlfftr
ent times It has been necesssrr
for the majority and ' miner! ty
leaders In the senate, both parties,
to go as suppliants to every In
dividual member of the eenate to
get his consent to a unanimous
agreement that the senate ot the
United States could do Its business
properly and get It through with.
Declaring that defeat is impos
sible la the fight he is waging the
vice president asserted:
"There is nothing more msjes-
tie than the march of a truth
among the ranks ot the American
people. Because it la right you
can't lose.' For the time, one pre
senting the truth msy seem de
feated. Then he rises stronger by .
every defeat.' Every time anything
happens when an issue is ones la
the minds ot the American people
he gets stronger.' . Don't . any of
yon feel sorry for. ma when you
read I am getting beat. It is not
me. It is not my proposition. Jt.
has been fought for by many of
the best men In the senate, from
the days of Henry Clay to the day
ot Oscar Underwood. It Is not a
partisan question. The reason why
I as vice president of the United
States have v-come to yon and
speak to you upon the Issue Is be
cause it Is my duty, as It would be"
my duty. In connection with the
budget as director of the budget;
it is a question in which all par
ties are Interested a non-partisan
question as to how the bu '
