Show JOHNSON WINS CLOTURE IBIE CALIFORNIA SENATOR. AIDED BY VICE-PRESIDENT, OFFERS SIGNED PETITION Ashurst Resumes Filibuster, Saturday Will Decide Fate in the Senate Washington In a last effort to break the filibuster threatening death to his bill to dam the Colorado river at Boulder canyon, Senator Johnson, Republican, Re-publican, California, asked the senate to invoke its drastic cloture rule which would limit debate. A vote on the cloture petition, which was signed by more than sixteen senators sen-ators will be taken, and if tho required two-thirds majority is obtained a final vote in the senate on Boulder canyon at this session will bo assured. Scarcely had this petition been read before another to invoke cloture on the Hyson emergency officers' retirement retire-ment bill was filed. It will be voted upon also if the Johnson petition fails, but otherwise it will go over until after af-ter the Boulder canyon issue has been decided. |
