summer home here today. They came
ll6 strong from the house OF repre-

hands with the nominee and bid him
god speed for the presidency, 1t was
the first time In the history of the
United States that either democrats
or republicans In congress had quit
their work TO dash across the CONT

bearer.
Met Them At Gate.
The governor met them at the gate
and escorted them to the porch where
they met many pilgrims
Mr. Clark had something to say and
he did not wait until the long line of
representatives had filed by and had
Its collective say, SO he held up the
procession and told the governor they
had come to see him and wish him
well in his fight; and that they had
brought along their autographs In a
little book to remind him some day
that the democratic majority OF the
house had closed up office and travel
ed down to Sea Girt to get acquainted
with the next president Would he
please take il? The governor was
quite confused as he looked out over
the crowd of expectant faces and
started TO speak. The words died
away before they reached his lips, re-
pressed by the colume of a mighty
cheer. Presently the noise ceased and
the governor told them he would
treasure the book as greatly as he had
welcomed their coming and he want
ed to say he hoped It was Just the
beginning of long acquaintance.
How TO Please Congress.
There was two ways for a president
to get along with the house Of rep
resentatives the governor said. one
was was to keep in Intimate touch
with its members but to be concerned
In its deliberations only. That would
not be his way i'm he had the chance.
Speaker Clark stayed and chatted
for quarter of an hour or more
with the governor, then took an au-
tomobile to the home Of Colonel Geo.

Talked Legislation.
we talked OF legislation In gem
eral way" Mr.. Fitzgerald said after
wards I'VE reviewed at some length
the work before the house and what
1t had Accomplished. 1t looks very
much to me as If congress is not GO
ing to adjourn until August Is and
the chances are that when Governor
Wilson reaches the White House next
March he will call special session
and we will be at work all summer"
