When the Governor had finished firing
his first vocal gun Of the campaign every
body relaxed and made ready to shake
hands Mr.. Clark announced that Billy
Hughes would do the Introducing as
the House. who knows every man that has
been in Washington for the last twenty
years. The Speaker led of with a formal
handshake with the Governor. then with
Mrs. Wilson and Misses Jessie and Eleanor
Wilson. The line filed to the left and the
progress was slow. for the noin nee showed
again tha he a poor handshaker by
wholesale. He had two or three shakes
for them all and some words for most of
hem. He did all this in spite Of the fact
that glee club al, congressman took
possession of one end of the veranda and
proceeded to relieve themselves of some
songs specially composed for the occasion
by Lever Of South Carolina and Dupre Of
Louisiana on the way up from Washing
ton.
The club itse was led by Mr. Conry of
New York and sang Two songs. one Of
which had a verse for every State of the
Union. II stopped by unanimous con-
sent a Missouri. as they wore only here
for tho afternoon. The chorus OF his
long distance song ran:
We are bound 90 win with Wilson.
We bound 20 win with wilson,
wv Hf' pouHu 10 " III with w iIson,
For he is good enough for all.
The second chorus, "a near as 1t could he
gathered. was:
Hello. Woodrow. you're a friend OF mine.
Hello. Woodrow, you're a friend Of mine
You've our par;ys nomination,
You're Democracy's salvation.
Hello. woodrow, you're q friend Of mine.

gressmen to pass the Governor and his

MIR. McGillicuddy was added to the ex-
ecutive committee. as IL will be styled
the other day and he did not know it was
coming. Mr.. Mc(iillicuddy said he was
glad to meet the Governor and the Gov
ernor was glad to meet him. II took some
minutes To sav this.
Representative Rothermel Of Pennsyl-
vana. who looks SO much like Vice

great many people around the little
White House to-day. had to stand still
while the Governor joked about that .
There were ten Of the thirteen Missouri
congressman in the party to-day and the
other three wsre absent because they
are down in Missouri and could not get

special shake and few words during
which they declared that Missouri was
