1McKinley Mitchell is carrying on a
large-sized ."spud" business in his
seat ia the Benson house. Several
other 5 Of the members are trying to
make expenses.
Members, who are not for Mitchell,

you're done up, Senator; III fight

Barkley's cordial greeting to Senator

senatorial shadow dance. He braces
up occasionally and declares: "Thls
is only small fight. Igrow fat on a
little affair like this"

Pennoyer and Mitchell, we quote the
words OF William Pitt:
''If this ill-omened marriage is not
already performed in the name OF the
public safety / forbid the bauns."

climb.
Senator McClung was the victim OF
a wake held at his room last night BY
the aggregated Mitchell push. "Sen.
atOr, you can come into the Joint con.
