who has a rapidity of utterance to
which no powers of description would
do justice. His average rate is $50
words a minute, about a third faster
than the ordinary congressional talk
er, while his maximum is fully 400
words. This is believed to be the limit
of possible e~nunciation In English. He
is never at a loss for a word, and never,
like so many other congressman, finds
himself in an oratorical cul de sac.
