decrease in the attendance in the house
OF representatives due to the fond
ness of many members for horse-rac-
ing. Comment on this fact recalled an
incident to the mind of an old en-
ploye of the house which shows that
house members have long been fond of
the races. Back in the forty-fOurth
congress, when races were run at the
old PimlicO track, near Baltimore, SEN
atOr Blackburn, then member of the
house, was responsible for converting
that democratic body into a repub
lican organization Oh one especial af-
ternoon. a famous Kentucky horse,
Longfellow, was booked to run at
PimlicO and Blackburn advised all his
friends to have a good bet down. So
many accepted his advice and went to
Baltimire to see that their bets got
down, that the republicans were left
in control of the house. Realizing the
situation, they put through a number
Of party measures. 1t was not until
next day that the democrats who had
witnessed the races realized what had
happened. and it took their party lead
ers nearly a week to reconsider the re-
publican bills that had been passed in
their absence.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-04-21

This incident recalls a story told of
Senator Blackburn, who, some years
ago was campaigning in western
town when Senator Fairbanks and
Governor Gear of Iowa happened on
the stump on the opposite side. After
the days work was over Blackburn
met Fairbanks and the governor, and
invited them into a convenient place
to get drink. They accepted.
What will you have, GOVERNOR
asked Mr.. Blackburn.
Il think l will have a glass of min
eral water" was the reply.
This somewhat disguised the man
from Kentucky but with a little hope
remaining. he turned to Fairbanks, and
asked what he would order.
I should like a glass of milk" he
replied.
The waiter stepped forward and
looked inquiringly at MI. Blackburn,
whose face wore a strange expression.

est Office within the gift of the Ameri-
Gan people; il means election to the
presidency of the greatest and richest
nation in the worlds history. Yet
there is only one man mentioned for
the honor, so certain is the Republi.
can party. the greatest and most
powerful political organization in ox-
istenoe, that he is the one man for
the place. President Roosevelt has
no opposition and will have none.
His psrtJ is proud OF him, and the
people irrespective OF party are proud
of him. 1t is predicted he will get
the largest popular vote president of
the United States ever received.
On the other hand, the Democrats
are totally at sea, The bulk OF the
delegation already chosen for the ma.
tionsl convention is instructed for no
one. 1t will be a free.for all, with
several men. one of them a millionaire
who is spending thousands of dollars
day in an effort to corral the empty
honor, striving for a nomination that
can but bring defeat.
The Republican party has reason 10
feel proud of its success. 1t has
piloted this country to greatness, de-
spite the obstructive and abusive hos.
tility of the Democrats. In such men
as Theodore Rooseyelt-strong. virile,
courageous and honest, it places its

difference whether the Democrats get
