.. Pear Of Conservatives.
One reason why many OF Athe cOn
serFatIye senators do not wait Bryan
in the cabinet is because they fear'that
his knowledge of men throughout tbs
country, his personal acquaintance
with Democrats in every state, county
ind township, will be tile guide, to
president Wilson In. nanIlug the fed
eral .appuintees Under the new admin
istration. :
In that event they would OF course
be Began men. And mQst,Ofsueh Bry'
an. men would be ,antaGonistic to the
! .oId machines and conservatives who
have been opposed to Bryan since he
came so prominently before the colln'
! ,try. AT the same time they lave nc
cepted It as "a foregone conclusion that
Bryan will he secretary of state.
4Sunmit Of sueesTS. :"
a man who has been FOR many years
4 member Of the house Hnd'whose tai
ents have attMcted attention 'in Ibis
state. to the extent, Of making him gov
ernor and then becomes United States
senator has reached the summit OF
success. OF course there ID the grand
lprlze-.the presidency -but that is re-
served for other men. No man who
has been congressman, governor and
senator has ever been president.
BY the time the men have become
a. prominent, az. that they have aroHs'
ed too many antagOnismss to be made
president. There are quite u number
OF senators who have been members
Of the house and governors before
their election to the senate.
Wanted a Mann Fighter
At the beginning Of his term as
speaker Champ Clark urged several
young men in tue house to:take up the
subject Of rules. and parliamentary law
and be on hand all the time to hight
the minority leader, Jim Mann. AS
the ;4housp now Stands Fitzgerald and
Underwood are the only men who can
cope with Manp' ~.
They are absent much, OF the tune
attending to the important committees
Of which they are chaitmen. AZ a
consequence Mann has things pretty
much bis own way, from a. parlia'
mentary pOIut of view. Only few
members pretend to have accurate
knowledge OF the rules of the house,
and 1t does not take long to de a par
lismentary knot.
Democrats Like Warren.
A group OF Democrats were talking
about senatorial elections, and one
after another expressed pleasure over
the success of Senator Warren in wy
oming. 'cWhy do you like Warren"
asked man who was present. We'll
WIS the reply Of one, Fhe always
stood by MS and helped usswhen we
were in the. minority. BE never an
tagonized uE." And the others assent
cd to that declaration.
Take It Personally.
Some members Of the house." re-
marked Speaker CLARK, take it rs Il
personal atfront when they are over
ruled on q point Of order or other par
liamentary proceeding. 1T makes 1t
rather dlsagreeahle, but a .speSker can
not allow personal considerations to
enter into his rulings"
Several of the men Champ refers TO
are members OF his own party, landAit
is suspected That, they carried their
personal opposition as far as the Bal
tlmore convention last wear. (,
Harvard Expert.
A bill hacked by Congressman Ham
-lltonsof AFfchlsan wRSup in the house
which had to do with the shipment OF
very young calves. In Che course of
his argument Hamilton Nald that the
proposition was indorsed by DR.. Eliot,
former. president Of Harvard Hniver.
slty. so :,
"Ie qualities. mo .dCnbt,p interjected
jim, Mann, ''as an expert on immature
calves because lie was fopmer presi'
dent OF Harvard" a
And so Mann achieved one of his
daily jokes, which he says are neces'
sary Tor his perfect health.
