WASHINGTON, June 26.-With the
work of the national conventions com
pleted and the campaign fairly on, con-
greSs is engaged finishing up its work
so the members may get into the field
and work for the national tickets, and,
Of course, for themselves. There arc
many opinions expressed as to the time
when the session will end. The most
general one is that ali adjournment
will take place during the first ten days
OF August. but there are some who be-
heve that the gayel will fall by the
middle of July. From now on until the
end of the session the Congressional
Record will be filed with speeches of all
ultra political character, and the aver
age American will find it diffleult
to trace any connection between the
texts of majority of them and the sub
jects on which they are supposed to be
delivered. Debate on the appropriation
bills in the senate will give Democratic
senators a chance to say something
about the ''bilion-doliar congress-"
consideration of the bill providing for
the election of the president and vice
president by direct vote of the people
will give the Democrats of the house
their opportunity to talk about the fed
eral elections or force bili;" Senator
Vests resolution to have the free wool

measure brought forward tor eonSidera-
ton. no matter how unimportant it may
lie or how far removed from political
intention, will serve as a text for stump
speeches galore. To the average man
the reason for this sudden influx of
stump speech oratOry will seem to be
obvious, and his opinion in the matter
will be correct SO far as it goes, but it
does rot go far enough, A congressman
does not spend time and money in the
preparation of political speech to be
delivered in the senate or house simply
to hear himself talk and have it synop-
sized in paragraph or two in the news
papers. He has deeper. more
far-reaching object. Every speech.
every remark, made upon the
floor OF either house is reported
in full in the Congressional Record. and
every congressman has the privilege of
sending through the mails, without
payment OF postage, an unlimited num-
her Of copies of anything that appears
in the Record. So every political
speech delivered in congress from now
until adjournment will be printed in
pamphlet form by the thousands and
sent broadcast through the country by
means of Uncle Sans mail service
without payment Of postage. for the
e ho
ent week in congress will be markedly
different from the several past weeks,
when so many senators and representa-
tives were absent at Minneapolis Or
Chicago. 1t Will be week Of business
and campaign talk. The senate Will
pass the agricultural bill and probably
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which the house put
through under suspension OF the rules.

will also be discussed and probably
acted on, and if the conference reports
on some of the appropriation bills
now in conference are made. both
houses will be likely to act on them be-
fore the week is out. These bills in
conference are the rayal, army, military
academy, rivers and harbors, pensions.

prlation bills for the house to act
on, will be passed. and the rest of the
day will be given TO the committee On

their terms OF Office six years and
