...Huddle. Republican House leaders?Speaker Longworth, Floor Leader Tilson, Rules Chairman Snell?banded together to praise the bill, to consolidate their voting strength sufficiently to run the legislation through to passage under a special rule barring amendments from the floor. But the discontented Republican element in the House was too large to execute this scheme at once. The leaders had to let the disgruntleds "talk themselves out" first in a shut-door party huddle...
