Up to date there has been only member of
Congress who did not get warm welcome. He
was new man. He had just emerged from the
railroad station, and there still rang in his
the predictions of his family and his friends back
home that as he stepped on the east end
of the Capitol, the big building would tilt up like
a sea going liner in distress.
UNLIMITED and unknown, he appeared in the
assembly room and announced to group of cor
respondents, "I'm member of the House just
arrived in town, and I'm ready to be interviewed. )"
He was nterviewed-by Bill Crawford, of the
Associated Press, Bill being chairman of the house
committee, and really the only man in the club
with an appearance of anything like dignity. Bill
led the intruder to the door, whispered in his ear,
and gently impeled him out into the night.
POLITICIANS do not care what they say in the Press
L Club. Last summer, when there much dis
c,sson as to whether Taft, Roosevelt, Wilson would
be elected in November, of the organization Re-
publcans of the Senate dropped in for dinner He had
barely taken his seat when somebody called over from
another table:
Senator do you think Taft will be reelected"
"Of course he WILL" replied the Senator and added
with smile his lips, "Now on the square, Fellows,
what else can l say?'
One of the most positive predictions made in the
club came last May from Ollie James, the new Senator
from Kentucky and it wrong. Somebody had sug-
gested that Roosevelt would bolt the regular Republican
convention in Chicago, and had inquired
"Mr. James, don't you think Roosevelt will bolt?"
