Congress Scene Over Expunged Speech Debate
In the Lower House in Washington a clash arose when Mr. Mann charged Mr. Sulzer with submitting a speech for the Congressional Record that he did not deliver. A resolution to expunge the speech passed on a party vote after sharp exchanges and warnings from the speaker. Sulzer, denouncing Mann as a "pettifogging" lawyer, sought to read the speech but was barred to address only the expungement resolution. The rest of the day saw Sulzer obstruct proceedings amid quorum challenges before adjournment for Florida Senator William J Bryan's memory.
