Gag Rule 10 Prevails In House Amid Political Strife
In Washington on April 2 the House adjourned amid a breach between majority and minority parties.

Williams condemned the use of strong language and filibuster tactics, declaring the minority would exhaust every power to force action. He recited a poem about a man told to “go to father” and criticized Republicans for pursuing reform while opposing post‑election stances.
