Congressman Lands, Of Indiana. who has
made the hit of the season in the debate on
the civil service at the Capitol, has repu-
taton as a stump orator second to none
in the Hooser State His delivery is not
of the rear and pitch style, the only effect
of which is to tire lungs and listeners. but
his tones are well modulated and his enun-
citation perfect. Every word uttered on
Wednesday was heard distinctly through
out the hall of representatives. and appar-
emily without effort on the part of Mr.:
Lands. Congressman on the floor ana
spectators in the galleries did not require
calling TO order by Speaker Reed, for they
did not want to lose a word uttered by the
smooth-faced heavily-built Indianian, who
was posing for the first time in the ma
tional arena of debate and winning golden
opinions from his audience regardless OF
political affiliations. When Interrupted by
questions Mr.. lands did not rant, tear his
hair and decline to be interrupted. but gave
a respectful hearing to each query, and In
reply never raised his voice above the tone
which marked his utterances throughout
his speech. Words tripped lightly and
smoothly from his tongue, and ne was as
self-possessed as though he had been a
congressman all his life. instead of a be-
ginner in the hall of national legislation
serving his first term as one OF the repre-
sentatives from Indiana.
