Famous filibusters and endurance in Senate history
Long distance talkers began in 1891 with Lodge's election law bill. Faulkner filibustered from 11 p.m. January 16 to 10:30 a.m. January 17, aided by Casey. The effort sidetracked the bill. Two years later a repeal fight over the Sherman act's silver purchase clause sparked another endurance display led by Allen. Carter, Owen, La Follette, and Aldrich-Vreeland currency battles followed in later years.

Fairbanks called the vote and the measure passed after a lengthy filibuster. The bill dropped from 53 million to 20 million due to filibuster opposition.
