which he has rendered to his country and MS
state. TO say nothing of his quarries. there Is
probably no achievement in his long service IN
the Senate which afforded him So much genuine
enjoyment as a swap OF committee rooms WHICH
he effected with Senators Warren and Scott lasl
year in which these two "tenderfeet' learned a
few things about the dangers OF swapping WIN
a Yankee. When the Reorganization Of the Sen
ate committees required by the elevation Of Nlr
Fairbanks to the Vice-Presdency and a few
other changes became necessary Senator Proc
tor found himself entitled by right Of sen
iority TO the craftsmanship of The Committee on
Military Affairs. Now. Senator Warren, the
next ranking member. was extremely anxious for
this Craftsmanship, and the promotion Of Senator
Warren would send the craftsmanship OF Public
Buildings and Grounds to Senator Scott

nothing would induce him 10 abandon Military
Affairs except an agreement on Mr.. Scott's part

The result was that after all shifts were con-

each had paid Senator Proctor for doing pre-
cisely what he had intended 10 do from the first
namely retain the craftsmanship Of Agriculture
Warren's price having been the beautiful COM

employment Of two VermOnters for two sessions
