SENATOR CALLS AUDIENCE

Contained NO One of Lesser Rank than
the Vice President.
There are two ways of looking at
anything, and the way wit of Wash
ington explained a certain Iacl of au-
dience in the senate, when a southern
senator made speech, was certainly
the most delightful way of defining a
somewhat chilling incident.
It has passed into history that Hon
Wilkinson Call of Florida, though for
three terms a United States senator
and highly honored by his state, did
not make a great impression the
senate a speaker, and that ne thus
disappointed all those who have the
tradition in their minds that all south
ern statesmen orators. Senator
Call, it is said once arose to make a
speech when the senate chamber was
rather empty. AS he spoke the few
members of the senate who were there
fled out to get luncheon No one re-
manned on the floor to listen to the
speech, but the president OF til g senate
still sat in his place, dignified and
calm The galleries were also empty.
and the incident became the subject OF
Washington gossip. At a dinner party
where a southern politician was a
guest it was asked what he thought OF
the southern senator's audience when
he made his speech IN the senate this
morning Then came a clever answer,
for the southern man said, with a
grave face: II thought it a very dis
tnguished audience. There was no
person there of less rank than the vice
president Of the United tes.''-Sat-
