- REPRESENTATIVE CUSHMAN
- began his Congressional career
with his election TO the Fifty
sixth Congress
That was back in Spanish war times.
He defeated that indefatigable poliu-
clan with the flowing side whiskers.
James Hamilton Lewis. now of Chicago
and well known in Washington. 1t was
a great surprise when Cowboy Cush-
man defeated Lewis, for Cushman had
never held any political office before.
''Jim Ham" rose up from being d long

at the bar. He became famous as a

IN later years did not indulge in the
business OF fun-Inaklng too freely, lest
I MS constituents should get an the way
OF not taking him seriously.
Cushman used 10 be a water nov ON
a railroad and later was waiter. one
day after he had been elected m CON-
gress, he wandered back TO fhe old
stamping grounds and into The old res
taurant He found one of the mon
stli there with whom he had vailed
on table in the early days. The friend
was mighty 6lad 20 see him. He was
head waiter now.
Look here, Frank" said he to Cush-
man after the first greetings. You
ought never have left here. Why. ii
you'd stayed YOU might have had my
JoD and be head waiter now"

Cushman always seemed to talk with
out preparation. But. like many another
good speaker, he did a Ior OF work be-
tOrehand on his speeches II was his
custom at the beginning of a campaign
- SCI "p o',e SIsd5 speech. lie worked
over II and pored over II, pairing it
down here and adding a sentence there,
injecting dash OF humOr or wit some
where else until he had got it In the
shape that suited him
Then he committed IT to memory and
made il all over his district and wher-
ever ne might be called In other parts
of the state.
II was source of pride 10 CuShman
that he was the homeliest man in Con-
Sress- He referred TO the fact with
pride. lie was tall. gauut, angular. and
resemoled Abraham Lincoln. Like
Senator Shelby NJ CulIOm. his resem-
Dlance 10 Lincoln was a part of his
political stock in trade
He was known as ''the Abraham Lin
coin OF the West" In his contest with
Lewis one Of the sources Of his strength
was the fact that there was nothing
in his record that was not an asset to
MIN
The way he had worked up from
Door water boy on a railroad in Iowa,
through the lumber camp. the cattle
ranch. and other hard fields. won him
support everywhere

Shortly before Cushman was taken
sick he was riding on street car in
this city when he remarked that the
end of the session was q good way off
and that there wouldn't be much time
between the end of the special session
and the beginning Of the regular one.
III Just have tire TO go hack home

wood for the winter when I'll have to

Heard at the Capital

peacefully and in good temper and the
crisis was over
Cushman, Fighter
The colleagues of Representative
Cushman Of Washington, who has been
sick nearly unto death IN New York.
while keenly concerned over his illness,
have felt confident his nerve would pull
him through. Cushman has had to night
all his life, and, his friend say, VIII
lick the pneumonia bacillus If ne has
half a chance. He started out as a
water boy on an Iowa railroad, and
then graduated into the position Of a
section hand. All the while he was do
ing what studying he could. At SIX
teen years, he weht TO Wyoming as q
cowboy and for five years punched
steers worked in "a lumber camp, taught
school and studied law. Finally, he
got into law practice in Nebraska and
ABOUT twenty years ago went to Wash
ington where ne came steadily 10 the
'front.'. 4 lot of House members don
coincide with Cushman's extreme high
tarim views. but they like him because
he admits he IS homely, because of his
sharp and witty tongue, and because
he is hustler.
q
Representative Jim Tawney Of
miuncSOta las Deen one OF the busiest
men about the Capitol for the last few
weeks. 1t has not been on tariff. either
Secretary MacVeagh was engaged in a
plan 20 lower the tax on oleomargarine.
Tawney's district is one OF the greatest
dairy regions in the United States and
II was not long before he was IS busy
a s a small BOY on the Fourth II July.
Whether IaWney did Il or nOt, 1t was
not tWenty-four hours before tie change
in the cleo law was preached before
kilograms Of protest began pouring
into Washington. They kept on pouring
until the other day when the word
came out of the White House that the
proposed change IS to oleo was mot
an Administrative matter" This
meant, though not so stated in as many
words, that President Taft had quietly
called of Secretary MacVeagh and for
the present, at least, there will be no
change in the O!eoU3Tgarine law. And
It isn't likely there viii be in the near
future unless it IS pulled of sOrl re dark
night when Tawney isn't looking.
