Brundidge Likes Babies.
No member of the House is fonder
Of babies than Representative Stephen
Brundidge, jr., of Arkansas. He loves
little children. This. perhaps. is due
in measure to the fact that he is the
proud father Of a bouncing boy some
months old. And his friends say the
member from Arkansas has every rea-
son to feel proud, for his baby is one
OF the brightest and cutest babies that
ever opened his eyes in Washington.
This little incident will illustrate Just
how much the statesman father thinks
OF his heir apparent. Not long since
Representative Brundidge and ex-Rep-
resentative Hugh Dinsmore were walk

LongwOrth Good Talker.
OF the members who made speeches
in the House yesterday none received
more attention or met with a warmer
reception than Representative Nick"
Longworth of Ohio. And he made a
downright clever talk. too. AS one Of
the veterans of the House said
Strange how the llmelight brings a
man out. Now there's Nick Longworth,
a splendid fellow, popular and we'll
liked, and he always was a good talk
e:. He made a speech last year, but
he did not loom up then as he did this
afternoon. Why2 Because IL was not
known then that he was to be the
Presidents son-in-law. Today when he
talked on the Philippine tariff bin his
remarks were considered by many as
the voice of the President And I pre-

the popular young member from the
Buckeye State will carry more weight.
