Republicans Sit On Sidelines as Demos Filibuster
In Washington, Dixie Democrats carried a filibuster against an anti poll tax bill into its second day as Republicans stayed on the sidelines. A GOP leader outlined a plan to delay until next week, then seek cloture to force a vote, potentially ruling against closure. The strategy hinges on Senate precedent and may prevent the bill from reaching a vote. Senator Taft predicted the filibuster would continue until a homeward vote is sought, while Senator Russell directed the effort.
