The success Of Gov. Broward over Sen.
ator Tallsferro In the primaries cor the
United States Senate demonstrates the
fact that Il is not necessary for a man
to be born with a silver spoon In his
mouth TO reach a high place in public life
The next Senator from Florida began
life In a most humble capacity. and has
risen through the various stages OF his
life to the highest place In the gift Of
his people.
Gov. Broward's latest success brings 20
mind that there are other Senators. and
good Senators, that rose from humble
positions TO prominence.
Senator Curtis was a jockey; Smith.
Of Michigan. a newsboy; Beveridge, a
lumber jack; Perkins, a sailor before the
mast; Nixon. railroad telegraph Oper-
ator; Chamberlain, a store clerk; Jones.
farm hand. and Lorimer, a street car
conductor.
It was while a car conductor that Sen
ator Lorimer began the building of the
political machine that has served him
for so many years.
Once more Senator JEFF Davis has made
his appearance on the scene. and was in
his seat in the Senate. His colleagues
await with fear and trembling another
outbreak.
Jimmy" Mcclure. who has been for
some years a messenger to the Senate
Committee on Appropriations, has been
promoted 10 the Office Of chief of pages,
9oFs -, OF
Carl Loeffier. Jimmy is from Iowa. He
has been an efficient enploye, and his
promotion was made as testimonial OF
his service and as a mark OF respect TO
the memory of the late Senator Allison,
who stood sponsor for him.
It has been many a day since Senators
have listened to a speech such as was
delivered yesterday by Senator Dolliyer.
From any viewpoint it was a classic and
Will go down in the annals of the Senate
as one of the greatest addresses before
that body.
While his speech teemed with figures
and facts showing an intimate knowledge
OF the tariff law passed last year. he in
fused enough humor and happy lines into
the subject to cause frequent outbursts
OF laughter. In the course of his re-
marks he said that a new set OF rules
had been prescribed for the Republicans.
A Republican had 10 be either an I'M
derstudy OF the leaders or an 1shmaelite.
At the conclusion Of the remarkable
speech there was applause by the gal
lertes and Senator Dolliver was the re-
clpient OF congratulations by insurgents
and regulars alike. The import Of SEN
ator Delivers address soon spread
around the Capitol. and members OF the
House focked over TO the Senate to
hear it.
The members Of both Houses of Con-
gress see adjournment in sight, and are
already making preparations for a hasty
fight homeward. Meanwhile clerks are
busy mailing campaign literature. and
the prospects are that more printers ink
will be used this campaign than ever
before, or at least for many years back.
The sundry civil appropriation bill as
prepared BY the Senate consumes 19S
good-sized pages. When Senator Hale
presented the bill he was DESTROYS of
dispensing with the reading. but Senator
BristOw liked to hear the monotonous
voices Of the reading clerks and objected
For one hour and three-quarters the
clerks read TO Senator Bristow and
empty seats. When O'Clock was reach
ed the pangs OF hunger attacked the Kan
sas insurgent and he withdrew his objec-
ton. IN that time only eighty-nine pages
had been read.
