The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1910-07-23


Champ Clark of Missouri, the leader of thu
Democrats, loves his joke and It takes an occa
sion that Is worth while before he rouses HIM
self to anger when Champ Clark does get
mad he gets mad" is the expressive way In
which a Democratic colleague Of the minority
leader put the matter recently. There was an
exhibition of how mad Champ Clark can get al
the time when he was trying to hold his Demo
cratic colleagues In solid line In favor Of a
change In the rules governing house procedure.
This was at the time when some of the In.
surgents, In connection with the Democrats
were trying to secure what Is now known as
Calendar Wednesday. It was at o time long pri
or to the fight which ended In the removal OF
the speaker from the committee on rules.
The Democratic leader found that he could
not control all his party colleagues. and he had
suspicion that some of them knew that they
were to get committee preferment at the hands
OF the speaker, provided they deserted the Dem
ocratic leader In the time Of need. One New
York Democratic member, with some others
from different parts of the country, deserted
their cheftain in the hour of trouble. and Ia
ter the New Yorker was given fine committee
berth by the speaker
No one will ever forget the castigation which
Champ Clark gave this colleague, whom he looked
upon as a deserter from the cause of his fell
lows. 1t was a scoring the like unto which few
men have ever received. The New Yorker took
It In apparent humbleness of spirit, and It may
be that he did not have any excuse to offer
Time is a. great healer, however. and now thu
Democratic leader and the man whom he eff
coriated are good friends, and seem to be worth
Ing In harmony for the party good in the house
Of representatives.
The hardest worked man In the house OF
representatives, not even barring the speaker, Is
Representative James r. Mann, Republican, Of
Chicago Mann is known as the great objector,
and also as the watch dog. It Is his duty to be
on the floor Of the house constantly and to
watch legislation. line by line and to see to 1,
that nothing is Slipped over" which the Re
publican majority does not think proper Mr..
Mann Keeps an eye on amendments to the appro.
priation bills, and all kinds of things as they
come before the house. 1t is he who objects to
the consideration Of many small bills when
unanimous consent unquestionably would secure
passage for them. This makes him in sense
tremendously unpopular with members who
want to get something through and can only get
action under unanimous consent.
