nominated will be the candidate
of the entire people.
HE is a conservative man and
always speaks and defends the
platforms enumerated by his party
(Applause.) He is an old time,

"DARN FOOL, SMART FELLOW"

A certain young congressman
Is going back to Tennessee with
the reputation of having made
himself quite conspicuous in the
house with the help of a ready
tongue, such persistence, and a
series of brilliant neckties, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. In
the cloakroom the other day two
or three of the older members were
commenting on the career of the
Tennesseean. One of them told a
story. When a young man was
nominated for Congress a heard
hearted old Democratic farmer, a
leader of the party in his locality,
comes to Nashville to demonstrate.
Why" said he, you don't mean
to say you are going to send the
boy to congress? He's darn
fool. "Yes," was the answer,
I'VE know he is a darn fool, Uncle
John. But you see it is like this
We've been sending smart fell
lows to congress from this district,
and they've come back regular
darn fools. So we thought we'd
send a darn fool to congress, and
see If it wouldn't work the other
way"
