hundred votes. His opponent was popu

Brumm of Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania people want a position
for Mr. Brumm, and want the President to |
take care of him. The President is willing |
TO do something for Mr.. Brumm, but will |
have to look around for place.
Mr. Brumm wanted to be chief of the b,- |
reau of engraving and printing, but the |
President did not care to remove that posi- |
ton from the civil service for Mr.. Brumm's S |
benefit. |
ants representation Cut Down.
II want an opportunity to vote on a meas |
ure cutting down southern representation |
In Congress- said Representative Spalding |
Of North Dakota, "and I am going to do |
what l can to have measure of that kind |

to representation where suffrage is not per-
mitted.''
Fav0rs the Nicaragua Canal.
Senator Quarles OF Wisconsin was at the |
White House. Congress is getting right |
down to work. he said. and ought to do |

We ought to make laws of many important |
matters now pending l believe the Nicara-
qua canal bill, ship subsidy bill, army reor-
ganization measure. reapportionment, reduc-
ton of the war tax and Appropriations will |
be favorably acted upon. Yes. think that i
q bill substantially the same as passed by
the House will go through the Senate. The /
report Of the canal commission strengthens
the many reasons already given in favor of |
the Nicaragua route"
