In speaking of Mr.. Diekema's ability
as congressman, a Washington
writer says:
"Mr. Diekema has rare executive
ability and when he occupies the speak
er's chair, which he does more frequently
than almost any other member, ousi-
ness is dispatched with the utmost
rapidity, and yet with such order and
dignity that the visitors in the gallery
often remark, is Roosevelt in the
chair?'"
Our congressman is very popular as
a speaker in the city of Washington
and scarcely week passes that he is
not called upon to preside over or ad-
dress some capitol city gathering
