The final version was close to what Roosevelt had asked, and easily passed Congress with only three dissenting votes.<ref>Morris, p 446</ref> The road to passage for this bill, however, was not so easily traveled.
Facing at one time a seemingly adverse Republican majority, President Roosevelt consented to the Bill being thrown into the hands of the Democrats, much to the confusion of the Republicans and to the gratification of the democrats, who expected to reap political advantage. But the Republicans pulled themselves together, and will vote solidly for the Bill, which disappointingly deprives the Democrats of their expected political gain.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=qTI_AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA646 American Affairs], The National Review, Volume 47</ref>
