It was. the first time a non-member was per- ". mitted to speak in this manner. Partly, paralysed, Vare's useless arm hung iv" his pocket, while under tremendous emotion, gripping the desk to prevent himself falling, he read a lengthy state-:' ment demanding justice and fairness. He accused other Senators of buying their way in. Vare's physicians watched him closely as he pleaded in a faltering voice.
