BY JAMES A. LEE

THEN there was Nick Long
: worth, a Representative
from Ohio and the son in law of
Colonel Roosevelt. Nick goes
in for the really classical stuff on
his violin, and there was a time
when he was offered a salary as
a vaudeville performer if he
would stand before the footlights
twice a day and fill the theater
with the best things from such
operas as Faust, Lucia, and all
the other compositions that have
made their authors famous and
given the manufacturers of bass
drums an immense amount of
business. He confines himself.
however, to ragtime on the piano
and the highbrow performances
on the violin for the benefit Of
his friends-and his friends, be
ing kinder than most friends,
swear that they enjoy every bit
of it.

Unlike Mr.. Anderson, Senator Cum
minis never made much money out Of
his musical talent. In fact, he gave up his
career in that walk of life because he could
not earn enough to keep his fancee supplied
with flowers. Among others who saw that
there was not fortune to be piled up by
playing the piano or the violin, are Repre-
sentatives Henry A. Cooper of Wisconsin.
Morris Sheppard Of Texas, Martin B. Mad

an those days. he described his expert
ence, "the only way to get musical educa-
ton was to join singing school for a term
of lessons, usually held in the church Like
the rest, let my voice out to its full ca

have developed into the greatest bass singer
in the world"
There can be no doubt Of the fact that
music has strong influence on people who
are close to the Tafts. There was the case
of Gus ]. Karger. the publicity adviser for
that administration. He had accompanied
the President and his party on trip across
the country, and one morning Mr.. Taft and
his followers having been invited to hear the
wonderful organ and choir in the Mormon
Tabernacle at Salt Lake City. were seated
SO that they faced the entire assernblage.
Finally the choir sang cold Folks at Home"
and almost Immediately Mr. Karger wcpt

not seem to care After they had left the
tabernacle, the President said to Gus:

@Mr. President, replied Gus in great sor-
row, Il am far from home, and, if its all the
same to you, do wish you'd make your trips
little shorter"

The vote was taken in a manner
to show the percentage OF change

vote showed that the Wilson vote was
shifting to Stokes and Colby at
ratio of three for Stokes and two for
Colby, Colby drew somewhat from
the Lewis vote. There were no indi-
