kind another is getting that; then they
write in duplicate and exchange. Of
course, this applies only to routine work.
Special news items which often develop
into scoops" are carefully guarded un-
til used, though in the matter of
scoops" one man win always give to
another, whose paper does not interfere
with the first. The busiest time for the
newspaper men is when bills are
introduced. AS soon as member
drops new measure into the
hopper, he will find a reporter standing
at his elbow to get brief abstract of
the bill; this abstract is manifolded and
the tissue sheets divided un among the
other reporters. One day, a month ago,
over forty new bills were introduced and
the newspaper men were pretty nearly
crazy in the rush. q. - q
These are the busy, honest, hardwork-
ing young men who dish out the capital
city news to the hundreds Of thousands
of readers Of Ohio's daily and weekly
papers. Every line of it goes through
some OF their hands and when one stops
to think Of the hundreds Of dailies all
over the state that print this news within
twenty-four hours Of its occurrence,
there is marvel of sy stem in it and no
mistake.
Members Mustn't Get Mad.
The member who doesn't take every
thing good naturedly has hard row to
hoe. In the last house there was GER
tain member who took every opposition
to anything he desired as personal
affront. He would refuse to speak to
any member who would argue against
any of his bills or to any who would
vote against his local bills. In the
course of his two years he was on the
outs with half the general assembly
and his life was as bedraggled as new
dress on a rainy circus day. Along
toward the end, the house would vote
against his simplest motions and when
made few moments later by some one
else, would pass them with whoop.
Some Talk Too Much.
Another way to kill oneself as far as
effectiveness is concerned is to talk too
much. There is one member of the
present house who got into that bad
habit in the Sixty-ninth. He would pop
up and talk on every motion, resolution
and bill. One day fellow member
kept track of his speeches for one day
showed it to him; he had spoken twenty
seven times, and when he looked at his
record he took the hint This session
he talks not over once week.
There are three members, of the pres
ent assembly who have impaired their
usefulness in this way; one of them
made speeches on an average of three
times day the first two months, and
nine times out of ten the house would
vote against him. Then he quit speech
flying altogether and has regained some
of his lost ground.
Some Are Expected to Talk.
OF course the recognized leaders talk
often and do not impair their useful
ness. Take the two Taylors, from Cham
paign and Guernsey counties; Griffin,
McGrew, Beard, Price, Winn and
Dougherty in the house, and Lampson,
Carpenter, of Meigs, and McConica in
the senate, and they are expected to
talk; and therein lies the difference,
When man s expected to talk he has
no trouble, but when he is not expected
to he had better make his speeches few
and far between, and then only on sub
jects that are strictly familiar.
Congressional Candidates.
| Tbo o,,o,rocoioDo1 aapdi1o+oo ap,1p1oy.-
ated in my letter of a few weeks ago are
passing through their ordeals. The
first congressional convention to be
called is that in Speaker Laylin's dis
trict, the Fourteenth. He will have
twelve or fourteen competitors and they
are all hustling, while his duties here
have prevented him from prosecuting
his campaign. The fact that he is
against the field shows that he is the
leading candidate. His friends in the
legislature that is 106 in the house
and thirty-one in the senate-will feel
very much gratifed at his success. The
convention will be held at Mansfield,
May "a.
Nothing definite up in Mr.. Grifin's
district has been heard at this distance,
though it is understood Governor Ash
ley will contest with Mr.. Griffin tho
honor of representing the Toledo district
in congress.
Senator McConica is candidate in
the Eighth. He is very popular young
man among the members of both
houses.
i Mr.. Boxwell is out of the race down
in the Tenth. He failed to get his own
county at the primaries held on election
day.
Senator Lampson has plenty of candi-
dates against him, among them Hon. s.
A. Northway, who was member of
the house twenty-six years ago. Speaker
pro tenn. Clapp may also be a candidate.
Among the candidates for state Off
GERS are Hon. S. M. Taylor, of Cham
paign county, and Hon. Byron s. Wyd-
man, of Hamilton county, both of
whom want to follow Colonel Poorman
in wearing Secretary of State Daniel j.
Ryan's shoes.
Thus politics is like the poor, we
have it always with us; and adjourn
', ment is now set for the 18th, as pre-
, dicted last week.
! A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE.
