Rather an unusual performance took :place today. During :the morning hour. soon after the Senate met. under the order of business of petitions. the Senator from Arizona [Mr. As~uasHU rose and announced that he proposed to see to it that *the Senate should take a vote on the immigration bill before the session is over. Following suit. the distinguished Senator from Montana made the same announcement. and yet. upon .a motion to take it up .a few days ago a solid Democratic vote I recorded "nay " and a solid Republican vote is recorded "yea This -vote will.be found at page 11873 of the CoNoaEssSIONA RECORD of July 31. It is .interesting to note that upon that rdf call the distinguished Senators who announced today that the proposed to have a vote on the bill are recorded as not voting. but. as I have said. every vote to table the motion to take :up the Immigration !bill was .a Democratic vote. and every vote against tabling that motion was a Republican vote. The am.bassadors of sovereign States obey the Executive lmandate ad caucus decree :rather than :the -peQples will. Ti .peple :themsdlves will pass upon the :record .thus -made.
