SPEAKER SHIFTED HIS QUID.

DR.. Hildreth, in his Memoirs of the
Early Settlers of Ohio" devotes a chap
ter to Abraham Whipple of Rhode ISL
and. He was born in 1873, and was one
of the first to take hand in the revo-
lutionary war. In 1856 he was elected
a representative to the legislature from
the town of Cranston.
The advocates of the paper money
system were then in power, and had
chosen Othniel Gorton, a clumsy old
man, for speaker
Gorton was in the habit of keeping a
large quid of tobacco in one side of his
mouth, which pressed out one of his
cheeks. Most of the debates were. on
the opposite side of the hall from that
on which Commodore Whipple sat- and
the speakers face was commonly
turned that way.
Once in the course OF the debate
Whipple had cogitated speech, which
he waited for an opportunity to deliv-
er. At last, out of patience, he rose and
called. Mr.. Speaker" The speaker
whose face was turned the ether way
| did not hear him. He raised his voice
to it's utmost. Mr.. Speaker
Gorton started, and turning to the
commodore, said, 81 hear you" There
upon Whipple began:
II wish, Mr.. Speaker, you would shift
your quid of tobacco from your star
board TO your larboard jaw, that ii
might give your head a cant this way
so that you could sometimes hear some
thing from this side of the house,
| Then he went on with his speech.

Her most ambitious number, Mozart s

voice filled all the requirements of a
wide range, not alone in tones. but in
expression.
The program opened with Mary Turner
Salter's "A Night in Naishapur," an ex-

Orient. A group of ballads, five in Ger

here, which was crowded with events.
In presenting the Ohioan to her au-
dienCe, Mrs. Mitchell said: He stands
pre-eminently for the home and for
morality and represents the highest
type of our splendid American man-
hood"
In responding, Judge Taft said he
had been honored during the day by
the reception of 100000 Iowans, but
this meeting caps the climax
He then at once got the good will of
his audience by saying, with smile:
Il am a purely domesticated animal

feminine part of the home, and there

braced her opportunity today, as did
Wisconsin yesterday, TO demonstrate
that radical and conservative elements
of the Republican party are regular
when it came to the national ticket.
This demonstration was made by
Governor Cummins the radical leader
and candidate for the senate, and Ma
jor Lacey, the conservative opponent
of the governor for senatorial honors.
The two Joined the Taft special when
IL entered the state early this morning,
and each participated in the two dozen
meetings which the Taft special hyr-
ried into and away from in It's flying

Candidate Appreciative.
The candidate took early opportunity
to show his appreciation of the signifi-
canoe of his escort, saying TO the big
crowd at Davenport, after Governor
Cummins had given him most hearty
and positive endorsement in an intro
duction:
ut is a great pleasure for me to
come here and be escorted by the great
men of Iowa. 1 appreciate the complI-
mont. The fact that my welcome into
the state is by Governor Cumm1nS,
Major Lacey and Congressman Smith
and Dawson, indicates that Iowa is go
ing solidly for the Republican ticket
and senatorship."

during the day, but most of them were
very brief. The most of the talking
was done by the oratorical assistants
on the trip, either DIR. Hill and Rep
