President Roosevelts Senate clash over Brownsville policy
The article details a Washington battle over the Blackburn amendment to the Foraker resolution concerning the dismissal of the Twenty-fifth Infantry troops. It describes Roosevelt's stance that a vote on his policy is a test of party loyalty, the divisions within the Republican ranks led by Aldrich and Lodge, and the looming Senate conference as Democrats push for endorsement of the President’s action and critics call it a broader fight against Rooseveltism. The piece notes expected votes from Beveridge, Warner, Burkett, Hansbrough, La Follette, and Lodge, and references potential substitutions or compromises led by Culberson and Knox.
