ously guarded. Only Representatives,
Senators, ex-members, Governors and
exGovernors, Judges of the Supreme
Court, Cabinet officers, special mes.
sengers and doorkeepers and employees
whose work requires it, are privileged
to be upon the floor during sessions,
and even then all except Representa-

that interferes with the business OF

bill, suddenly looked up and the buzz
of conversation stopped and there was
suppressed giggling in the vicinity Of

"sassy" thing to do-Bailey having
undoubtedly put his boy up to it
but the boy some day will point with
pride to the fact that he voted in the
House OF Representatives when he was
