Accompanied by John Mitchell and

the colonel pursued his inquiries.
The party toured the valley, visit

villages of Nanticoke, Kingston and
Plymouth.
When asked if he intended dom

While at Pittston the colonel out

SPEECH" AND ITS POPULARITY
Story Of the Great Demand for Address Restoring the
Government to the People" an Exposition Of Oregon Plan
of State Government.

Washington, D. c. when are
you going homer" asked Senator
Bristow of Kansas Of Senator Bourne
Of Oregon.
The oregon man mopped his brow
and sighed.
''I can't go until dig out of this, +"
he said. "Let me show you"
He led the way to his committee
room, where, piled in a corner, were
some some thousands of letters.
Three clerks were sorting them and
addressing envelopes.
Whats it all about?" asked Mr.
Bristow.
"That speech 1 knew 1 couldn't
make" said Mr.. Bourne, almost
helplessly.
Then Mr.. Bristow laughed. He
remembered. For it came about in
this way.
Mr.. Bourne had been a senator
for about three years, and had never
made a speech. He was the silent
senator, and popular in proportion
to his silence. But one day he got
the idea that he ought to make a
speech. He conferred with friends,
who told him to sail in.
And so he prepared a speech. IL
was on Restoring the Government
to the People" Specifically, it told
how the people make the laws In
Oregon; the direct primary, the in
itiative, the referendum, the recall.
When the speech had been prepared
Mr.. Bourne lost his courage and
read it to the Senate. And he ism
much of reader either.
Then the trouble began. The
speech though read and not de-
claimed, broke. into papers. Mr..
Bourne hadn't realized that it was a
great effort, but other folks had.
Just enough of it was printed 90
whet the popular appetite for more.
People all over the country sat down
and wrote letters to Mr.. Bourne to
ask for copies.
Mr.. Bourne had 10000 copies
printed and they lasted only a few
hours. Then he ordered 100000.
copies, with firm determination to
swamp the country. The result was
