Cloture Measure Aims to End Senate Filibusters
Washington March 8 Senator Martin introduced a cloture rule to limit debate and curb filibusters. The proposal follows the last session where eleven men blocked action on a measure approved by both houses. Senator Lodge urged quick consideration while Senator Sherman denounced President Wilson's comments on neutrality and filibusters. The rule would trigger after 16 signatures and limit speeches to one hour per senator with a two thirds vote to end debate.
