Beveridge Lines Up Behind Blackburn Amendment Push
In Washington on January 19 Senator Beveridge informed Republican leaders he would not vote against Blackburn's amendment to Foraker's Brownsville resolution, while denying any intent to challenge the president's right to discharge troops. Discussions continued among Republicans as Crane and others argued the Blackburn measure. Blackburn vowed to press the issue despite opposition and predicted a broadly Democratic backing. In Arkansas, the Lower House approved a measure setting passenger rates, while the Senate panel questioned Governor Davis's authority over a vacancy, delaying final action on Lambert's appointment.
