Once a G. P. 0. Messenger,
Now a Member of Congress

THERE are those among the old-time
employees of the government print
ing Office who will always insist that
Samuel r. Sells. the recently elected
commemorative from the first congress
sional district of Tennessee. got his first
rise in life through the medium of a
freight elevator in the old printing Office
building.
1t all happened just seven years ago,
according to the old-timers. when the
Hon. Samuel r. Sells, NJ. c.. was just
Sammy, a messenger in charge of one
of the office delivery wagons, who wrote
very catchy poetry when not hampered
by his official duties, and studied law
at one of the local schools, when not
engaged in literary effort.
Arriving at the office one bitter cold
morning-blue Monday, SO the story runs
Sammy found a bevy of fair damsels
huddled at the foot of the elevator shaft
waiting for some one to give them a lift.
.'Oh, Sammy" they hailed him, de-
lightedly, do you know anything about
running an elevator?'
Sammy knew just about as much about
running an elevator as he did at that
time about running for Congress. Never
theless, he felt it incumbent upon his
gallantry to do something to help this
shivering squad Of femininity. So he
fibbed cheerfully, avowing that what he
didn't know. about running an elevator
wasn't in the books.
Thus it was with rull confidence in his

knowledge of the fadS and fancleS OF
an elevator that the group of frills and
furbelows swarmed into the car. Sammy
followed and closing his eyes, graspec
the controller and pulled it over. In an
other second the machine was rollicking
skyward at a frightful pace. The second
floor, where the goOd-looklng typlSt with
the golden hair usually got off, flew by him
a twinkling. The third. fourth and fifth
also whizzed by with no abatement in
the speed of the car.
At the eighth floor matters became
serious. The young ladies were crowd
ing all the fervent prayers they could
think of into as few words as possible
and the Hon. Samuel-R- Sells-to-be was
studying the mechanism of the recalci
trant car with an avidity never displayed
in his perusal of Blackstone.
1t was but matter Of seconds now.
The last floor flashed by. The young
ladies closed their eyes. stuck their fin
gers in their ears and waited for the
crash.
And then the future representative did
the right thing at the right time. The
elevator paused a few inches from the
roof and Sammy and his passengers
wiped the cold sweat of fear from their
brows and waited for help.
1t took an electrician and his helper
a half day to extract the crowd from
their predicament, and it took another
hour or two and quantities of smelling
salts to fit the young women for their
work.
After that Sammys life became a
nightmare. Facetious teamsters inquired
innocently of one another in his hearing

."Sells Brothers had added to their
shows.
The ladies walked way around him as
though they thought him in league with
the anarchists. and the golden-haired ty-
pist who worked on the second floor
grew pale every time she saw him.
And so Sammy resigned-the story runs
and went into politics in Tennessee to
bury the disgrace of it all. And seven
years later he was sent back to the
same town in which he worked as a
messenger, to represent his district in
Congress.

Complications Arise.

But probably to hamstring Cornwell in
his own neck of the woods there is a
bare mention of the candidacy of II. B.
Gilkeson of Cornwell's home county. And
it is said with show of confirmation that
Cornwell could not expect the solid legis-
lative strength of his sect!on-the eastern
part Of West Virginia-which is readily
believable because not dreaming of a
legislative majority on joint ballot there
was no setting up of legislative candi-
dates by democratic leaders, unless there
is truth to the report that Watson alone
had a premonition of what was coming
and helped to smooth financial paths In
certain counties.
Charges that the Standard Oil. railroad,
coal and other special interests will take
a hand and will determine the senatorial
choice are free and frequent. That va
rious republicans will be drawn in Is not
unlikely. In fact, the agreement to unite
on a republican to preside over the tied
state senate would indicate that the or
ganization is to come from some mutual
understanding. and that the Wire-pulling
to help Watson or McGraw or somebody
else will not be manipulated exclusively
by democrats. What some ordinary, aver
age democratic voters are disposed to
say of the outlook is not particularly en-
couraging to their party at present.

What the Agreement Means.

The agreement on Hatfield means that
the democrats may get the senate patron
age. 1t means incidentally cold comfort
for the forces which want drastic temper
ance legislation. But, above all, it means
what was forecast in this correspondence
a week ago, that the democrats do not
want to control the legislature this win
ter. They prefer divided or nominal re-
publican control so as to evade RESPONSE
bllity for the legislatures sins of omis-
sion and commission when the 1912 cam
paign is to be fought out

reported as being without Significance

ground for the suspicion that it included

! The tie in the West Virginia state SEN
| ate will be settled by the selection of DR..
| Hatfield of Mcdowell. republican, for
| president of that body. That is a pre-
! dction which will go through unless some
| unlocked for pebble gets into the running
| gear between now and the assembling OF
| the legislature next month.
| There was a recent conference of demo-
Gratis at Parkersburg to consider future
plans for handling the problems suddenly
and Unexpectedly thrust on them. 1t was
attended by Senators Silver, Mcintyre,
Kidd, Zilliken, French, MacCorkle and
Peterkin, John M. Hamilton, recently
kelected to Congress, and others promi-
nent. The object announced was a gen
eral discussion of how to meet the situa-
ton to be confronted at Charleston and
was identical with ono held by repubi-
cans in that city week or so previously.
Democrats to Support Hatfield.
1t developed that the democratic men,
bers of the senate agreed to vote for Hat
field for president rather than make
stand for one Of their number. This is
their solution of the tie vote in the SEN
ate. Just what return the democrats ar
to get is not known abroad, but it is sig
nificant that the democratic conference
agreed to do what the republican confer
ence favored-support of Hatfield
This turn is somewhat novel in view of
the fact that short while ago there was
much democratic eagerness to unseat
Hatfield because he held the office of
county commissioner when elected to the
senate. This eagerness was when the
| recent victory was fresh and when the
democrats felt like controlling the senate
