The Carlisle independent., 1910-08-11

It was said by some of the high tariff Repub lcans when General Grosvenor retired, that they were not entirely hopeless as long as John Dal- ze1l of Pennsylvania remained with them Dalzen recently had a narrow escape from losing the nomination for congress If he by any chance should be defeated at the election it is believed that the lure will be as strong upon him it has upon the others
 Dalzell is as picturesque in his way as Gros vener is in his way. It always was said of him essence, and more watchful Of Republican inter- ests generally on the floor than is the titular Re publican leader. SIT Dalzen is always looking out for tha interests as his constituents.
 One drowsy June day when the house was heavy and business was simply droning it's way through Dalzen yielding to environment, nodded and then mapped Instantly the willy, wide awake Democrats put through something to which no one saw any objection. It touched Pittsburg.
 Dalzell awoke too late. He had been asleep at the switch. Had his eyes never known night since that hour, he could not have lived down the memory of that unconscious moment. One day just before the close Of the last session, as he leaving the White House. three voices in unison called to him so that all within block could hear: Any sleep this session, John?"
 Dalzell wakeful to this emergency and his answer carried little comfort to the inqurers for none of the three standpatter:
 Not if the tariff is up," he said
 During the closing days of the last session of congress something of a 'filibuster" was at tempted by the Democrats in the senate in order to make sure that action should be taken the statehood bill. A 1libuster is known to the par ties attempt to delay legislation. The sen ate has no set rules like those of the house. and so if one man chooses to talk on any particular subject he delay the consideration of any measure that he chooses, and the limit of his en- durance is the limit of the delay that he although if he has other senators of his own mind hey "SDpl1' him in he md in relays continue the flbuster almost indefinitely
 One of the most noted flibusters of recent years conducted by three men still in the service and curiously enough the arrangement for the ilibuster made by members of both parties. The active participants were Senators Stone of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma, Demo crats and Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. Re publican
 These three senators made up their minds that they did not wish to have vote taken on the currency bill which had been introduced by Sen ator Aldrich of Rhode Island, bill which some of the senators said was mere makeshift and would accomplish no good purposes.
 In these days 1t Is hard to find in congress typical Yankee voice which the Engshmen say Is our national characteristic Gore of Oklahoma however has it. Why, 1t is hard to tell but he has 1t in full measure, and Maine coast man in Yankee voice characteristics surpass this senator of the western plains state.
 The flibuster in which Gore, La Toilette and Stone took part contained through a night and day when Washington was hotter than it ever had been known to be before, at least so the natives say. When Washington heat takes pos session of the capitol's interior it lays hold on the premises not to let go until November. It is impossible to keep cool in either house of con- gress when the heat of this climate strikes in
 During the fearful heat and humidity all one night long, Senator La Toilette. spoke in an en- deayor to keep the currency bill from coming to a vote. He held the floor for 1872 hours practic- ally without stopping. Senator La Toilette is for tunate In respect. When he was boy, and little later. he had thorough training in elocu- tion. If his teacher taugh him nothing else, he gave him the secret of strengthening his voice.
 At the end Of 1874 hours of strenuous effort La Toilette spoke clearly as he did at the be- ginning. Perhaps this Is not the exact truth, for matter of fact, curiously enough, the Wiscon-
