Free Whisky For Congress,
From the Washington Post.


Every Senator and member of Con-
gress was the recipient last week of a
letter from Kentucky distiller, con-
tanning an order upon a local liquor
dealer for bottle of new brand OF
whisky. The orders were in the
form of handsomely engraved drafts,
such as are used by banks generally,
and we're numbered with a check per-
forator, to prevent counterfeiting.
Not all Senators and members called
to secure the aforesaid bottle, but
some of them did, and very few or
ders, indeed, are there that have not
been presented by some one. Con-
gressman's clerks in many cases have
presented them and now and then a
page, who has picked one up from
the floor, besides few colored tom
sorial artists, and an occasional
"Was it good whisky? And how
big a bottle was it?' asked one Con-
gressman yesterday of Kentucky
friend who had ''cashed inn his order
the day before.
"The lquah was all right enough,
sub" was the reply,"b If o man had
been thusty he would have needed

BAILEY IS CONFIDENT.
Lloyd's Election Means Victory in
Nineteen Hundred.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Mr. Bailey
thinks that the result of the Congress
ional campaign in the First Missouri
District, where he made the speeches
which Champ Clark praised SO highly,
is sure indication that the Demo-
cratic party will win all over the
country in the next Congressional
campaign.
"Had there been any truth in the
Republican statement that prosperity
already is on the way, owing to the
expected new tariff law of the Re-
publican party, ,"he said, "there would
have been some indication of it in the
result in Missouri. Here, however,
a Democrat was elected by an unusu-
ally large majority"
