1t was said by some of tho Aigh tarf Repub-
icans when General Grosvenos retired, that they
were not entirely hopeless as long as John Dali
zell OF Pennsylvania remained with them. Dalzen
recently had 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 strong upon him as 1t has
upon the others.
Dazell is as picturesque IN his way as Gros-
venor is In his way 1t always was said of him
that he never slept. He is nervous energy In the
essence, and more watchful of Republican inter-
ests generally on the floor than is the titular Re-
publican leader. Mr. Dalzell is always looking
out for the interests of his constituency
One drowsy June day when the house was
heavy and business was simply droning its way
through, Dalzell yielding to environment nodded
and then mapped. Instantly the willy, wide awake
Democrats put through something to which no one
saw any objection. 1t 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 one unconscious moment. One
day just before the close of the last session. as
he was leaving the White House, three voices
In unison called to him that all within block
could hear Amy sleep this session. John?"
Dalzel was wakeful to this emergency and his
answer carried little comfort to tho inQuirers for

During the closing days OF the last session
OF congress something of a ''filibEster" was at
tempted by the Democrats In the senate In order
to make sure that action should be taken on the
statehood bill. A f1libuster is known to the par
ties as an attempt to delay legislation The SEN
ate has no set rules like those of the house. and
so IL one man chooses to talk on any particular
subject, he can delay the consideration Of any
measure that he chooses and the limit of his en-
durance is the limit of the delay that he can force
although If he has other senator's Of bis own mind

One of the most noted filibusters of recent
years was conducted by three men still in the
service, and curiously enough the arrangement
for the flibuster was made by members of both
parties The active participants were Senators
Stone Of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma Demo
