Description | Cartoon shows Vice President Charles Dawes marching along with a megaphone, carrying a pennant labeled "Senate Reform." His sole supporter, Senator William Butler, follows. Dawes offended most of the Senators in his inaugural speech when he called for an end to the Senate rule that allowed unlimited debate and thus permitted filibustering. Butler announced his support for the measure on April 18, but the proposal got nowhere. |
