House Favors One But Senate
May Lengthen Out With
Much Talk.
SPEAKER CANN0N'S REPLY.
Why Representative TaWncy Was u
Good Man For Chalrnai--
Two Veterans.


ming Of the present Congress there has
been manifested a strong desire on the
pat of Republicans Of both houses TO
,ush things The cry is for short
qcssou. Al the leaders have pointed
on, how unnecessary It Is TO remain
here late in the summer, and all who
are not leaders have been made aware
that il win be much better to be at
home among their constituents explain
Ing how promptly Congress has per-
formed its duty rather than IN Wash
ingtun writing letters to their friends
at home. While this urgency may AZ
feet members Of the house, It viii NOT
be very potent argument In the SEM
ate. for the senators Will talk ms much
as they please without regard to eS-
tending the session.
FITZGERALD FOR PRACTICAL RE
FORM.
Representative Fitzgerald Of New
York Who is one Of the Democrats or
Rroo6lyn that survived the storm OF
November 1906 thinks that the most
practical way 10 discourage the appli-
house would be to enforce them rigidly.
He would not lllow anything TO be done
by unanimous consent. That would
shut of much business. Bills could
not then be- considered unless a special
rule was eVok n. and that would re-
uulre 50 much time that little business
could bc transacted He thinks the
members of the house who want to
set their bills through would revolt ana
force y change. Nh Fitzgerald viii try
to get the Democratic caucus to adopt
this plan.
TWO VETERANS SIDE BY SIDE.
For several terms OF Congress Gen,
GrusVenor of bhiO and col Hepburn
Of Iowa. veterans of the house and
soldiers of the ciyil war. have occupied
seats side by SHE This year they go
cared the same seats, Hepburn got
his honestly this time remarked
Grosvonor, but had to scheme for
mine--that H.. another member got II
for me- In fact, there are always
several members who make It a point
60 give these two men the same seats
they have SO long occupied and no
matter what may happen In the draw
Ing they always find themselves In the
places they have held for years. All
members OF the house are glad to see
these men get what they want.
UNCLE JOE'S IDEA
When Il became quite generally un-
dc"stood that James A. Tawuey Of
Minnesota WAC u be chairman of the
committee On appropriations one Of the
members went to Speaker Cannon and
said
Uncle joe. don't you remember that
it WAS Jim TaWney who led fight in
the house once that overturned the
house leaders
fitting his cigar little more SLY
ward, the speaker answered by asking
"a question. Don't you think" he
asked. that a man who can do that
trick H. "a pretty good man for chair
man Of an important commttee?'
