the party hat wins is going
to be the party that has the
votes, and not only the party that
actually has the votes. but the one
that can get the votes out. That ap-
plies as well to the Legislature as to
politics in general.
That is one place where the Republic
can Senate majority this year has a
great advantage over the less or
ganized minority. To be sure, there
are but eight Democratic votes, any
way, in the Senate, but those eight, If
they pulled together, could accomplish
a lot of things.
You don't see anything resembling a
difference of opinion on the Republican
side-at least not very often. Every
thing is pleasantly settled beforehand
so that when it comes time to vote. if
by any chance there should happen to
be an ~unconvinced member in the ma
jority a little explanation on the part
of the hacker of any particular meas
ure is usually sufficient to swing the
doubtful. one in line. The votes are
there and can be tapped without using
a crowbar.
All of the. members on the .Republi-
| can side are not speakers; that is, they
do not always take an active part IN
the discussion of a bill, although most
of them do. But that does not impair
their usefulness any. They listen tc
what everyone has to say and ther
vote the way they have made up theiI
minds to vote anyway. The result
would be lots quieter II a few more or
both uidee would adopt that attitude

THE gun ports will stand the same
chance of being hit at any other equal
area on the side of the ship and no
more, no matter how well the enemy
can shoot, This area, therefore, be-
comes a matter of great Importance,
but only so far as the turrets are on
cerned, because the ~broadside gum will
not be used in battle at such ranges,
and the men for these guns will not be
exposed. The damage to the ship from
shells entering these ports might be
great, but the loss of life would be
small
Taking up the criticism to Congress
of the alleged defective gun turrets on
the Kearsarge and Kentucky, Admiral
Evans says.
IF. as stated, the openings above
and below the guns in the turrets of
these two ships are ten feet square,
the application of the simplest rule OF
arithmetic shows that about each gun
would be an open space of one hundred
quar- feet. AS each turret has two
guns, the open space on the face of
each turret would be 200 square feet.
II this were TRUE. the guns would be
practically standing out in the open,
for the whole face of the turrets con
tains only about 200 square feet of sur
face. s6
