more vociferously every time a
doubtful democrat registered his
loyalty by voting with his party.
Bourke Cochran, who was thought
doubtful, received an ovation when
he showed himself loyal, and the
loyal members of the Louisiana
delegation were as willingly ap-
plauded, when they repudiated the
charge that. they would rebel.
Chairman Wilson's speech was
conceded to be the best ever heard
in the house. When he concluded
he was borne to the democratic
cloakroom on the shoulders of
Bryan of Nebraska, Tucker OF
Virginia and Johnson. of Ohio,
.ollowed by procession of yell
ing cheering members, and amid
perfect storm of applause from
ne galleries. The demonstration
vas, if anything, more enthusiastic
when the bill was declared carried.
The scene was beyond description
Everybody yelled, and tossed
hats, books, and papers in the air,
and made every imaginable kind
of noise that would denote en-
thusiasm. Even the dignifed Car
cinal Gibbons, who is a staunch
democrat, applauded wildly.
