Dignified Senators Argue Like School Boys in Senate Row
The 1929 Senate debate over civil service unfolds as a lively, almost cracker-barrel style exchange between Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway of Arkansas and Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska. Norris defends civil service against political manipulation. Caraway presses for questions, prompting barbed, humorous exchanges and interruptions. The scene shifts briefly to Potter County Texas where an election order sets a stock law vote for July 27 1929, detailing precincts, polling places, and ballot language.
