gress first began, but it may be doubted
whether Spooner, in his own field, has
ever been surpassed.
He Is a little fellow, hardly more
than five feet five, and that seems to
add to his effectiveness. for he is a
bundle of nerves and brains.
He made q speech the other day in
defense Of the Panama policy of the
administration which Plat, of Connec.
ticut, declared to be the greatest speech
he had ever listened to. And Platt has
been in the senate 25 years, is over 70
years old and is not addicted to ex-
travagance Of statement.
Spooner's speeches are always sur.
prises. He never knows five minutes
before he speaks whether he is going
to say anything or not. OF course he
Is always prepared when great ques.
ton is before the senate and his great
ability as a lawyer enables him to put
himself in condition for emergencies.
But he never wrote out speech in his
life and probably would not know how
to do it. He stores himself with fact
and argument and then depends on
the inspiration of the moment to give
him the impetus. Once on his feet
there is no stopping him. He is like
a whirlwind and carries everything be.
fore him. He is profound, pungent
brilliant, witty, quick as flash and
dramatic.
