Why Mr. Speaker he Is reported to have shed
tears over your election. His fond hopes of
chairmanship aud fame had been dashed 10 the
ground. In his congressional campaign my
colleague declared that the Democratic narty

I specific statement made that Mr. Forman
was counted when in Illinois was correct.
