Taft Gave Up Hope On Tariff Board Debate
A lengthy Senate tariff board debate featured Mr Penrose and Mr Bailey clashing over a recommit motion and the scope of the commission. Arguments focused on presidential appointments, access to corporate records, and reciprocity with Canada. The Bailey amendment failed 25 to 37 as the chamber moved toward narrow paths amid partisan tension.

Only Democrat Senator Stone shows any active fight. most Republicans will vote yes if forced but offer no push. Opponents seek to rally Democrats or attendance to defeat the measure as the President dismisses the pace with a quip about letting it sizzle.
