Hon J. Proctor Knott of Kentucky
rendered himself famous by a speech de-
livered in congress % years ago. 1t was
given during the debate on extending
the time of a RAILWAY grant for COM
structing road from the ST. Croix river
TO Duluth Mr. Knott was opposed TO
the extension and argued the case in a
speech full Of puiposely exaggerated die
tion and of broad humor and satire. It
made "a great sensation and is ON record
as one of the most humorous speeches
ever delivered in that not over lively
spot, the hall of representatives. IL is
rather odd, though, that tine phrase in
which Duluth was characterized as "the
zenith city of the unsaltod seas does not
occur in the printed copies of the speech.
After all, was it not in the speech and is
it a separate coinage of that versatile
genius, Colonel Pat DOMAIN?
OF the humorous allusions i'm Mr.
KNOTS address, perhaps the best is that
in which he represents the Piegan Inc
dams as blowing up wheat ground with
buffalo bulls. then fattening the buffalo
on the wheat and driving them to- mar
ket to Duluth. Mr.. Knott had a map
near him which pictured the future Of
Duluth, itself as q center, with concentric
circles widening ont from itand talking
in all the universe as the speaker said.
From time to time he pointed To this
map during his address. Shouts and
laughter echoed through tho hall and
galleries.
It has been charged that Proctor Knott
did not write the speech himself, but
that it wa=1ropared for him by Colonel
Pat Donan. The Washington Post has
a paragraph 20 that effect. The Post
writer says:
Representative Goldziers offhand speech
on the removal OF tho Indian warehouse from
New York 90 Chicago has frequently brought
up the subject of Proctor knotts famous Du-
luth GRAFTON in Congress.
