Special Dispatch to the Intelligence.
WASHINGTON, ID. G.. Dec. 10
To tear a leaf from the diary OF a
busy Congressman days doings for
the purpose of printing IL in a news
paper would demand more space from
the publisher than he would likely
grant. Such Congressman's waking
hours are crowded with work. When
he isn't on the floor. IL is no sign that
he isn't on the lob. Not a bit OF IT,
He may be in his ONCE grinding away.
or in committee hard at work. or chas-
ing around TO the various depart
ments. coat tails a-fapping behind
MIN, on business for his constituents
Every time | think IL over my admira-
ton for that wise but unknown party
who vocalized TO the effect that Con-
gresham is mostly an errand boy for
those aforesaid constituents. rises to
the admiring ardor OF about 100 in
The shade

one of your busy members. and he has
a secretary just as busy and serious
about it. and just as loyal in further
ing the success OF his chieT. by name
!. Byron Nickinson. Sutherland has
the system OF the trained business
man. Hes sticlIler for system. and
he has his secretary trained right up
TO it. with the result that the volume
OF business done in that Office every
day Is greater. ! firmly believe than
any other Congressman's Office in the
House building. You must remember
that Sutherland Is a Congressman-at-
large. he has whole State full OF
constituents. while his colleagues
have only district. and ! guess they
are glad OF IL. too. when they see what
Sutherland has to do.
Besides being on the floor for roll
calls. attending a committee meeting.

ments. directing the despatch of doc
