Senators took turns speaking, with some engaging in free-style oratory and others repeating speeches. Attempts were made to break the filibuster, but they were unsuccessful. Some Senators took breaks for naps and showers, while others continued speaking. The filibuster finally ended when Senator Langer collapsed. Despite some attempts to reach agreements, the filibuster continued until morning, with Vice President Barkley presiding over the proceedings.
