Something of a Graft,
Senator Proctor of Vermont has not
idled his time in Washington during
many weeks spent here the past sum
mer. He has captured for his quarTies
the contract of furnishing the marble
for the new senate Office building. Sen
ators Cullom and Gallinger formed the
committee which decided upon the bids
Although Senator Proctor's concern
was not the lowest bidder, this close
committee of two agreed that the Yer
mOuter would feel more at home i'm d
structure built out of his own marble
Then, too important matters are COM
ing up this session and reciprocity is
The life of legislation.
