Roosevelt renomination resolution fails in House debate
In a quiet afternoon session the Holmes resolution backing President Roosevelt was referred to the committee on federal relations after an impassioned speech accusing opponents of trying to taint Roosevelt’s reputation. Holmes, Meredith, Stillman, Sullivan, Swan, Welden and White voted against referral, with others supporting delay. A railroad labor bill factoring attorney and physician fees in certain counties was tentatively approved to pass to both houses, despite House opposition.
