When the Late Congressman De

To Take the Oath

Washington:-The Democrats gave
reception to G. G.. Dickinson, of the
sixth Missouri district to-day when he
appeared to be sworn in as a member
of the house. Mr., Dickinson was es-
corted to the speakers rostrum by Min
ority Leader Clark, also of Missouri.
The new member came to Washington
with the prestige of plurality of APP
proximately $500, which is largely in
excess of any plurality polled in recent
years by his predecessor, the late Rep
resentative De Almond, who was burn
ed to death in November last
The large vote by which Mr.. Dickin-
son defeated his republican opponent
is accepted by Democrats as fore
shadowing Republican defeat in the
November elections. Mr.. Dickinson
was wildly cheered by the Democrats
as he wendell his way to the bar of the
house to take the oath, and after he
had qualified as member anothe'
cheer was given him by his colleagues
on the minority side.
