placable Aldrich majority which wanted
no reasons for It's votes
Like most of the other New England
senator's. Senator Lodge Of Massachus-
etts has dipped into the tariff debate on
~ occasionally His set" speech was In
defence Of New Engiand's protected in.
dustries. while his impromptu remarkn
sometimes have been characterized by a
lack Of specific information about the
subject under discussion.
Senator Gore, the blind senator from
Oklahoma. has taken q keen delight in
staying on Senator Lodges trail, and
emphasizing this weakness. The Okla"
hor'rn. by the way, has a style OF ora
tory all his own. lie usually starts with
his right hand on his left hip. under his
coat-tail. and he will alternate from
right to left OF him about twice n min
Ute thus bringing his full face into tho
range of everybody in the Senate cham
Der frequently Sometimes ne will alter
nate frequently Sometimes he will al
ternate this manneristn by graspng his
desk with his right hand but he never
falls to place his left on his left pistol
pocket" His voice is shrill and ring
inng. and he has yet to be adnonished
for not speaking loud enough. In this
respect, he Is fully as effective az 5ena-
tor Dolliver. who has a deep bass voice,
which usually clears the seats in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF the 1owan because Of
the poise
sOME STRIKING CONTRASTS.
Some Of the contrasts are striking.
Senator Clapp Of Minnesota talks off
hand and walks mp and down and to and
fro all the time, talking with great
rapidity. Unlike him. is "Gumshoe" Bill
Stone OF Missouri. Senator Stone talks
with the utmost siownes. and deiibera-
ton. and seldom moves from his tracks
Senator Bailey speaks in fun round
voice, and when he gets wrought up
Scott reads his speeches. Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota speaks with
great slowness. and enunciates his
words so clearly that some one has call
ed him THE Great Enunciator" Sena-
tor Daniel of Virginia uses all the desks
in his vicinity for the purpose of locat-
Ing his papers and documents thereon.
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
wanders about and strays over TO the
republican side often when he is speak,
ing. This. possibly. arises from the fact
that he has repudated the free lumber
plank of the democratic platform. Sem
ator Tillman walks UP and down the
central aisle. Senator Perkins OF Cal
ifornia speaks in a singsong voice and
raises himself up and down on his toes.
1t is gallery that will not impair tho
established renown Of Demosthenes.
