To a breakfast of buckwheat cakes and sausage at the White House he invited Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, the lone Farmer-Laborite of the Senate, who usually votes with the insurgents. Then too, the President, after a false step, gave in to Senators Nye and Frazier of North Dakota on the question of patronage rewards.
