NOT HIS MAIDEN EFFORT.
Has Made Others of Importance ii
the Senate.

Has Made Others of Importance in
the Senate.
The Elizabeth Journal, commenting
on the story published in the Chronicle
and credited to the Washington Post,
concerning Senator Kean's speech on
the Statehood bin has this to say;
''The Post is mistaken on one OF two
points The omnibus statehood speech
was not Senator Kean's maiden
effort" 1t is well known that one OF
the ablest of the speeches made IN
the memory of the late Senator SeWell
was made by Senator Kean, and on
other occasions he has made addresses
and arguments that have assuredly
appealed to the Judgment OF the MEM
bers of the senate. The fact that a
paper like the Washington Post is
attracted to the speech made by Sena-
tor Kean, notwithstanding frequent
interruptions, is in itself marked
recognition Of the forcefulness and
ability with which the New Jersey
senior senator presents his cause.
