Sad Wag Pu1CtureS
Republican Majority
Great and Sure Scheme to Make Campaign
Literature of Congressional Record" Falls
Through Because of a Joke.

Representative Williams vigorously
opposed the resolution. Representative
Grosvenor, however, vas on the side
of the majority. The roll call began.
Some Democrat, humorously inclined.
incidentally mentioned to Representative
Babcock of the Republican side, that in
case general leave to print was given,
Representative Baker Of New York
would take advantage of the oppor-
tunity. after the adjournment. when
the Record could not be expunged, to
reinsert his speech in which he made
charges of corruption against Mr. Bah
cock
The Wisconsin Representative took in
the bait al once. Rushing 10 some of
his friends he asked them to vote
against the resolution: others he bur
RED out of the hall. When the vote was
announced, the DemocrSSSSshad a ma
jority.
Representative Grosvenor's leave to
print resolution was rejected, much to
that gentlemans disgust
The joke of the whole matter is found
in the fact that Mr.. Baker had no in
tention Of reinserting his speech against
Mr.. Babcock in the Record" The
Democrat who so informed Mr.. Babcock
only did so as a Joke and did not eX-
pect that Mr.. Babcock would accept it
otherwise.

Some waggish Democrat played a
sharp trick upon the Republicans yester-
day. and thereby enabled the minority
to achieve a minor victory in the closing
hours.
Ever since Representative Grcsvenor
inserted in the Record" under the
leave to print the Presidents speech
in defense Of his labor record, Repre-
sentative Williams, the minority leader,
has objected 70 unanimous consent when
asked for leave to print" upon the
Republican side and frequently upon
the Democratic side.
Representative Grosvenor and a num-
Der of other Republicans who had cam
paign speeches which they wished to
have inserted in the Record" in order
that they might get free use of the mails
laid a plan TO get general leave to print.
They knew that Representative VIII
liams would object and that without
unanimous consent it could not be had,
so they arranged to have a resolution
adopted by the majority suspending that
part Of the rules which relates TO print
ing in the Record" and providing that
members might have leave To print for
three days after the adjournment.
