say, II object" He has kept this up at
every session of congress with serene
consistency. A small man, nervous
man or bad tempered man could never
have made success of such a policy.
He would have been run over in some
way. But Colonel Kilgore's 81 object"
uttered with dignity and with delibera-
ton and backed by such an impressive
personality, has won its way. It has
stopped hundreds of little bills; it has
sent many disappointed member to the
cloakroom Tuning and swearing. And
yet the big man, who is always good
humored and who smiles on slight PROV
ocation. is a popular member of con-
gress. There is everything in the way
