Amendment on publicizing federal judge endorsements sparks clash
Minority Leader Mann pushed a bill amendment in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to require public disclosure of names of those recommending federal judges. The measure, similar to Cullop's prior proposal, faced strong opposition as a violation of presidential rights and potential manipulation by powerful financiers. The vote totaled 180 to 84, showing Democrats' solid control. The Baltim ore Platform praised the House action as a reform step with Wilson in mind if Senate acts.
