On April 21, 1913, page 299, Chairman Henry, of the Rules Committee, reported a typical Democratic "gag" rule. It pro- vided for the passage of the sundry civil appropriation bill, involving $116, 795, 327, and allowed only forty minutes of debate, no opportunity for amendment, even under the five-minute rule, a>nd no motion to recommit. It was charged in the discussion, and not disputed, that this rule was a verbatim copy of one formerly drawn and used by the old Republican organization. It wa...s adopted, 221 to 110, with 101 not voting (2). These two roll calls columns 1 and 2 illustrate how little reliance can be placed in party protestations in reference to the rules. The Cullop Amendment. The next two roll calls those in the columns marked 3 and 4 relate to attempts to incorporate in a judi- cial bill a provision requiring the President to make public the recom- mendations upon which he based the appointment of federal judges. The question came up first in the Sixty-second Congress.
