Member Points With Pride y

Mr.. Dill Of Washington state spoke
with pride of his once honorable estate
a newspaper man before degenerat-
ing into a politician and a congress
man. He also observed that the average
tenure of congressman until recently

such procedure was all wrong. espe-
cially in the fifth Washington district
Other speakers also voiced their violent
opposition to the bad habit many
districts have of Swapping horses in
the middle of the stream
Mr. Sanford Of New York frankly
admitted that he became national
statesman upon his election to Con-
gress. and that this WAS the first time
that he had received proper recogni-
ton from the press. He spoke feeling
~ of the value of headlines and owned
up to a natural liking to figure therein.
In humorous, mock heroic vein, Rep
resentative Eiston of California said he
did not agree with a previous speaker
and that he had not been djsiIlusioned
Oh coming to Washington. that he had
a proper opinion of himself, which had
been formed from what friends and his
home papers had said of him. Then he
quoted from a paper in his district
which told in glowing terms how the
young congressman was holding his
own with the old leaders. and he read
from a letter from a constituent who
was of the opinion that Mr.. Elston

of cooperation, saying that the ma

he would assist as far IS possible.

his place to his having played nurse to
baby congressman as soon as he him
self got out of swaddling clothes.
Each member of the congressional
infant class had something to say that
indicated why, back home. he was
picked upon as the community exhibit
Speaker Clark made an appeal to the
people back home to keep their repre-
sentatives in Congress-not to keep
changing them. He cited the tenure of
all who hold responsible positions to
demonstrate that long service meant
legislative usefulness and brought dig
nifty and power to Congress.

The "aptness of the phrase baby as
applied to congressman" was comment
ed on by the next speaker. Representa-
tive Huddleston of Alabama. He said
that congressman, like babies. are
noisy, nuisance often to those around
them. and that they always have their
mouth open. But the saddest part of
the comparison was the heavy NOR

heartily in favor of this Baby week"

The influence of New England in

fact that it has followed the practice

the hope that "he will be in. Washing

in position one notch higher" Speak
er Clark acquiesced in this sentiment
applauding heartily.
The baby members of Congress who

were Representatives McLemore of
Texas, Britt of North Carolina, Walsh

ington. Candy of South Dakota, San
ford of New York. Elleston of Califor MIA
Macarthur of Oregon, Huddleston of
Alabama and Scott of Michigan
Before the talks began musical pro-
gram was given by the National Press
Mandolin Club. under the leadership of
Walter F.. Holt.
Mr. McLemore of Texas said he didn't
know why he had been invited unless it
was that the club wanted to make sure
that there was a man who could draw a
congressmans salary without being
able to make speech. He never had
seen Congress in session until he came
here as member, and he found that
distance had lent some senchantment
Speaker Clark's remark that there
wasn't any other place where a man
was more certain to find his level than
in the House came back to Mr. Britt
of North Carolina. That, he said, vas
just the trouble. AS a baby he was
forced to admit it, But he looked for
ward to better things.
One thing, at least, Mr.. Walsh of
Observation-Disclosures republican with a
democratic name"-had learned since
he came to town: That the best way to
entertain some members of Congress
was to sit and listen to them. He had
observed, too, he thought, that while
figures don't lie you can group them to-
gether sometimes so they will serve the
same purpose. Further, that it doesn't
matter so much what you actually say
as what you get into the record.
