United States Senate will sea- DuPont2'

as Watson. Let me cafechse you

BaYsrd-' Joshua Il Marvil
Clay ton-"What became OF him2'
Bsyard -" He died
Clayton-"Who succeeded him7"
Bayard civilian +. Watson"
Clayton-"Whv2'
BAyord-"B Because he WAS speaker OF
the Senate
Clayton-"wsll, do you mean to tell
me- that the speaker Of the Senate Of the
state of Delaware was ever intended to
be robbed OF his voice and his vote
because governor happened TO lie down
on lin Not under my COM titution 1t
WAS not I'll stand responsible for every
word Ia that constitution. 1t mnsns
what IL aRys aud not what Higgins or
Massey or snv body else thlnks. l'ln not
responsible for their thoughts God
FORBID They have a constitutional RIG BIT
to thiuk but not la an upe9nstl
tutlonal way. II the United
States Senate goes TO monkeyng
with my constitution III mt myself Off
this hook and 60 to Washington with
my war paint on aud ia this 30 bg 80
mortal frame OF mine and protest Yea,
before | will submit to such profauation
I'll tilt over the Senate end Of the Gaplto
II these political fellows who have ossn
slecNng DUPONT ever since the General
Assembly failed TO do so get their
knowledge OF constitutional law from
the Morning News almanac or newsboys
Christmas greeting It's no fault at
mine la talking the way they d. they
are acting unconstitudenslly all the
time. If you will reed Harrington's
reports you will 6nd that in the case OF
Rice vs.. Foster, tbs c3uts decided that
the General Assembly cluld MT delegate
its powers TO the people. Now, Jim, ]
want to ask you q plain question Whose
business was it to elect United States
SENATOR
Baysrd-"T he General Asasmbly's, Of
course"
Clsyton-"And it fSilsd to do so29
Bayard-"Yes
Clsyton-"Then how did George V
Massey and Anthony Higgins get in III
| Did tho General Assembly, on the last
day, pass a bill authorizing them to
settle this matter and to travel through
the state proclsiming the result Of their
labors29
Bsyard-'I don't know that It did
Bat, Johu, il Watson WAS speaker after
he became governor why didn't be draw
both salaries2'
Clayton DIN IT, man; does Billie
Watson look anything Ike Governor
Hogg, Of Texas2 I'll tell you WHY Hs
knew the depleted condition OF tne state
treasury, didn't want to forea a bond
Issue and gave his share TO swell the
general fund De always was a philau
thropic character any way, These
croakers make me tired I'll 80 to slen1
now and Reep Colonel DUPONT company
Ia his dreams Of glory"
DEysrd-'J John, just hold on q minute
zee that William II Armstrong, Of
Philadelphia, says that Watson had no
right TO act as he did
Clayton-"W Who's William Il Arm
strong and what put has he In tbs
present squabble? Does Willie think
that Delaware is sill subject to Pennsyl
vania by reason of having once been the
three lower counties on tue Delaware ?
| Willie Is hoodoo and Dupont wants q
mascot.
BAyard-"But then there's Senator
Mitchell, Of Oregon, q member of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections--he says that Watson could
not ofiioiAte in q dual capacity
Clayton-"Does Johnny Mitchell say
that27
Bayard - de most certainly does.
Clsyton-'Im astonished To whom
did he cay It.
BAyard-"Why he wrote personal
letter to x-Ssnator Higgins
Clayton-"You don't say so Well,
wonder IL Senator Higgins didn't FIRST
write personal letter TO Mltchell-sn
epistle which set forth the Views OF
Higgins and Massey, and asked Senator
Mitchell to concur in themf That's
shout the aize Of It. But what right
has Johnny Mitchell who is to be one OF
the committee, to pass judgment
upon case before no hears
the evidence2 If he doesn't cease
writing echoes to Higgins Letters
| LII 20 DOWN ana uuseat him myself
It's a shame 10 work Colonel Dupont ar
IN this way. Why they had him ii
Wilmington to-day la close conference
With edward @ Bradford, and they called
him senator and gave him a morocco
bound, gilt edged manual OK parliamen-
tary practice This whole proceeding
reminds no * the eagle which carries
the tortoise up 10 an immense height
and lets It drop on the roeks The soar
ing must b very pleasant TO the colonel
but It will be long and DISASTROUS drop
when the tims comes.
