Tawney Presents
Pathetic Spectacle

In the ninety minutes OF eioquence,
wit humOr. and sarcasm that made up
yesterdays debate on the rule for com
sideTatiOn OF the Statehood bill in the
House, the most pathetic spectacle was
that afforded by Chairman Tawney. Of
The Committee on Appropriations. wnen
he spoke Ia favor of the rule.
Mr.. Tawney's position was one. which
at the best. could be only painful In
the last Congress he was a determined
opponent of joint StatenooG. At the
opening Of the present. despite that he
had been given the craftsmanship of the
most powerful committee of the body.
Z was commonly reported that. protect
ing his convictions, and keeping his rec
ord consistent. he had told the Speaker
that he could not change position en-
this measure; that he would sJili have
TO oppose the organization Of which he
had been made so important a member.
His manner as he rose TO speak left
no doubt that he realized his position.
He stood d minute OF two after he was
recognized. awaiting the restoration OF
order, for tremendous hubbub greeted
the announcement by Mr.. DalZell that
the MinnesOtau would be the next speak
oT. Those were obviously painful mo-
ments Tor the speaker. When order was
restored. and he launched into a de-
Tense not Of the Statehood measure. not
Of his own position. but Of the ultimate
necessity OF party organization being
sustained. il was not apparent that his
position vas any easier. He spoke brief
ly. pleading for party regularity on
what had been made. he said. party
measure. He admitted that for this sake
he was sacrificing his own convictions.
and he urged that for the sake of the
party the sacrifice was Justified.

Mr. Brick Of Indiana said IL would

gress, ten OF them being Senators and
fire Representatives Their Represen-
tatives represent on an average Of 3d.
