FIRST PAGE FOR SPEECHES.

Rivalry Among Congressmcn For {"
Good Position In The Record.
The effort that is constantly being
made to secure the printing Of speeches
on the front page Of The Congressional
Record is not generally understood
Senators and representatives naturally
desire to have their dclveranccs in
congress receive as much attention as
possible, and there is but one publica-
ton in which they can monopolize the
front page in display Of their
speeches. That one publication is The
Record.
OF course speeches that arc printed
in regular order in the debate, ap.
pcaring on the day after they are de-
livcrcd. are 10 be found only in their
regular place in The Record. But in
the cases of speeches withheld for re-
yisioa there is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page Of the
official report Of the proceedings. This
is merely done by an arrangement be-
tween the senate and house by which
this privilege is about equally divided
Senators aud representatives who
withhold their remarks for revision
frequently inquire when they can have
the first page Of The Record, which is
generally reserved for at least week
ahead.
The general rule is, "FirSt come, first
served" In this way those who want
to make their speeches influential will
at times arrange 10 have them on the
first page Of The Record on the morn
ins of day when vote is to be
taken, in order that they may be
brought prominently to the attention
Of their fellow legislators just before
they are to take action on the matters
Of which they treat. 1t is in the ma
ture Of judicious advertisements
