Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"It looked at one time, you will recall, as though there might be a very extended debate on the peace treaty, but all at once the Senate agreed and were able to take a vote on it."

"The Senate has a way of reaching a vote when it wants to and I have no doubt that that will be the result on the cruiser bill."

"It is never possible to make much of a determination in advance of what the action of the Senate will be relative to the time of securing a vote on any question that is pending there."

"Mr. Arthur J. Dahn may be reinstated as clerk in the Railway Mail Service without regard to the time limit on reinstatement under the civil service rules."
