LONG DISTANCE LEGISLATION.
Device by which Members Can Keep Track
Of House Proceedings at Their Onces,

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Speaker Can
non and other leaders in the House are
concerned over the growing practice Of
Representatives in remaining away from
the chamber during the consideration
Of important business. Il always has been
difficult to keep members present during
the daily sessions, but sbsenteeism has
become a positive evil this year. This is
due to the fact that the House now owns
a large Office building, put up at a cost Of
several millions Of dollars, and contains
fine quarters for every member, In the
seolusion Of the Office building the member
who ia not hurdened with any RESPONSE
bllity other than to cast his vote when
the signal TO do so is given him spends
his time sending out seeds, writing to the
folks at home and in other ways planning
for denomination and reelection. The
Office building IL a fair distance from the
Capitol and members are disinclined to
take the walk except in urgent circum-
stances,
II present plans are carried out another
excuse for members who are not disposed
to attend the daily proceedings will be
provided. What Representative Tawney
Of Minnesota calls a plot" to retard bust
ness in the House Is in process Of being
Matched. When the Office building was
completed members made complaint that
they were so far removed from the chamber
that they had no way Of finding out what
was going on except 10y means of the tele-
q Iann llt4 una funanti 9Na RNnRN UUna
then suggested that a ticker such as 10
used in transmitting stock quotations
should be installed in every Don in the
office building. BY this means members
could be promptly advised Of the nature
Of the business under consideration, the
speakers who held the floor, and in fact
be- informed at all times concerning the
IrOCeedings without leaving their rooms
But the ticker scheme was discarded for
some reason or other, Then the House
officials discovered a device that il be-
lieved to fill the bill, If put into use this
device will communicate over wires to the
rooms in the office building every sound
and SYLLABLE uttered on the House floor.
we are getting altogether modern
said a House leader to-day. we seem
to he adopting every facility with a view
10 encouraging absenteeism, We started
ont hy erecting an Office building. Now
we are testing a new tangled idea whereby
members shall keep track Of the House
proceedings without leaving their offices.
Why not connect these wires with the
Washington homes Of congressman? And
then probably in the process Of develop
ment the time will come when measures
will be adopted making il unnecessary
for members to COM to Washington at all.
The first thing We know the House will
rejoice in the possession Of an up to date
signal service, including a wireless outfit,
From his home in Honolulu the delegate
from Hawaii by merely touching a button
or sending a message by wireless will be
able 10 register his vote on a given measure,
IN like manner he will communicate his
views on public questions. Where is il all
going to end? Darned IL | know"

day took a letter from Secretary Of State
John s. Whslen to Secretary Bohm as a
gentle hint that he would not object TO

openly, but the G. +. L. greeted the letter
in silence. The letter was in reply TO reso-
buttons passed at former meeting coming
from some mysterious source indorsing the
administra ton Of the Secretary OF State
and saying that he wa worthy OF a higher
office, and read az follows:

HOme District.

The struggle for supremacy In the FIJI
tenth Assembly district at the Republican
primaries on March 81 Ia n OF the most
interesting OF all the contests On hand.
IL is Gov. Hughes's home district, The
opposing forces are led by Harry W, Mack
the present leader OF the district, and by
Senator Martin SAKE. Both Mack and
SAKE prefers TO be the real, simon pure,
blown 10 the bottle Hughes men. More
ever, they say that their respective ad-
herents are Hughes men, With this in
view the contest is only one involving
political supremacy in the district,
The SAFE people are very confident OF
victory, and for that matter 80 are the Mack
people. The SAKE people have issued a
statement saying;
Much Of the strength Of Senator SAKE lies
In his advocacy OF Gov, Charles +. Hughes
as Republican nominee for President; whereas
the leaders Of the opposition have been promi-
nently identified with County Chairman Her
bert Parsons. who stoutly opposed The Gov
eTnor's candidacy and who last fall was
responsible for the alliance with W. r. Hearst,
The present Parsons leader In the district,
Harry W. Mack. Ia putting up what opposi-
ton he can to Senator SAFE, but many Of
Mack's one time supporters have come out
in favor Of the Senator. The fact that Mack's
former law ONCE associate, Frederick Spiegel-
berg, whom Mack nominated for Municipal
Court Judge In the face Of strong opposition,
seconded in the county committee a motion
to lay on the table the resolution to indorse
Gov. Hughes for the Presidency Is considered
additional evidence that Mack does not and
will not represent the sentiment or desires
Of The residents Of his district.
The recent election In the West Side Repub-
lican club was gu evidence Of the weakness
Of the Parsons Douglas-Mack faction. They
nominated for the club presidency their
Republican and Hearst Independence League

defeated by Henry ~ Wise, the Mack can
