→Congressional passage: "I am now trying to see if I cannot get it through in the form I want by the aid of some fifteen or twenty Republicans, added to most of the Democrats"
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, voted solidly for the Bill, which deprived 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>
