...were from Wisconsin. More than that, all 40 had been selected with the approval of Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of that state; and still more, neither Senator LaFollette nor the Representatives of the state (all Republican insurgents, save one Socialist) were consulted. So was the patronage club leveled at the heads of the insurgents. Senator Lenroot is the only Wisconsin member in either House of Congress who approaches regularity.

...well. A few more words, and the bell rang. The roll call began. Five Republicans previously in favor of the bill changed their votes-four of them had breakfasted at the White House. One Democrat, Ramsdell who had voted for the bill originally was paired against it. Senator Lenroot who has been ill, walked into the chamber apparently hale, and voted "Aye." Senator Green, struck down some weeks ago by a stray bullet in a bootlegger chase, tottered weakly to his seat, voted "No" as his name was called, and retired immediately.'
