Eagle Bureau,
6OS Fourteenth Street


Washington, March S-Several hun
dred persons who sat in the galleries of
the House yesterday were very likely
asking themselves and each other:
(which one of these performing
statesmen on the floor below is Nc
Lemore ?o
They were undoubtedly asking be-
cause of the fact that McLemore was
the author of the scenario which called
for the employment of more than 400
actors in a thrilling drama. 1t was
this Texas person who had started 1t
all; he had, in fact, invented it. But
Mr.. McLemore was not performing.
Not until late in the afternoon did the
galleries get a chance to identify the
Texas dramatist. Then they were
astonished to hear that McLemore was
permitted to talk on the subject of his
own show for just two minutes!
They saw a tall, elderly and sparsely
built person arise from a seat and ad-
dress the speaker. His appearance
was something of a surprise to the
galleries. He did not look in the least
bit like a "bug," a term which is I'M
fortunately applied to so many
statesmen in Washington. There was
nothing fierce or hamboyant about
him. He did not resemble a person
flying into the face of the Administra-
ton. He was quietly dressed, like
most civilized statesmen, clearly
shaved and his gray mustache was
neatly trimmed.
Did Mr.. McLemore make a speech?
He did not! He had one in his pocket,
to be sure, but no human being could
have read it in two minutes, and Nc
Lemore did not try. AL he did was to
express ironical thanks for the liberal
allowance of two minutes and to yield
hack the remainder of his time to
Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin, who
has been irreverently described in GER
a quarters as ''the man with the
revolving whiskers."
One reason why JEFF: observe the
colon) McLemore does not resemble a
''bug' is that he really isn't one. On
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1916-03-17

a whole lot of things the solid and CON
%servative folks of the East will prob
ably find themselves in thorough agree
ment with this Texas statesman. He
is quite different from Cyclone Davis,
who is his brother Representative at
large, and who is that collarless states
man who shouts "Amenn from his seat
and follows persistently in the foot
steps of William J. Bryan.
Just because McLemore wants to
warn Americans off merchant ships
that carry guns does not line him up
as a pacifst or a mollycoddle. He is
probably the hottest preparedness adj
vocate from the whole State of Texas.
lie wants more preparedness than
PRESIDENT Wilson. But he just hap
pens to believe that Congress ought to
warn Americans and, believing that,
ne sat down and wrote his now famous
resolution, which will lie on the table
of the House until that much abused
article of furniture is worn out, and
which will then doubtless be swept out
with the table.
Most persons in Washington who
have met McLemore like him. He
hasn't any airs. he doesn't try to back
you against the wall and pour some
strange political gospel down your
throat, and he does possess some very
reasonable notions about things. This
Is his first term in Congress, but he
does not intend that it shall be his
last. He is a candidate for renomina-
ton, which, for a Democrat, means re-
election. On February IL he IN
nounced his platform to the Texas
voters.
The platform contained eight planks.
The first was a declaration for national
preparedness. The details of his pre-
parednese programme are more elabor-
ate than the plans of the Administra-
ton. He is fatty against prohibition,
either Statewide or nation wide. He
Is for rural credits. He wants market
bureau for American farmers. He is
for extension of American
with all nations that are at peace. He
Is a friend of organized labor. He is
just as absolutely opposed to woman

suffrage as he is to prohibition. Heis
also in favor of protecting the lives and
property of Americans through a
strong policy, including the Latin re-
publics to the south of us. On the
subject of Mexico, Mr.. McLemore is
one OF those statesmen who criticises
the Administration policy as ineffi-
Gent and weak.
A whole lot of that platform would
serve very well for a conservative
Eastern statesman, yet it M direct
from the pen of the gentleman from
Texas who stirred up all the trouble in
the House.
Soon after he was born in Tennessee
they christened him Atkins Jefferson
McLemore. He carried that around
with him until his adult years, signing
his name IA. j. McLemore." One
day he discovered that a lot of his
friends thought his name was Andrew
Johnson McLemore, because Presi.
dent Andrew johnson, hailed from
Tennessee. That S Tired McLemore to
wrath, chiefly because the Johnson and
McLemore families, although neigh
bors, did not act neighborly to each
other. So he became JEFF: McLemore,
with a colon after the JEFF, in order to
rid himself forever of the johnson sus.
picion. Today, if he signed himself
Atkins J. McLemore, nobody would
know who he was, any more than they
would recognize the President under
the signature of Thomas w. Wilson.
He says in his own biography that
be was born on Friday, March 10, in a
storm. He is a little past sixty. He
did not go to school until after he was
fourteen. In 1878 he went to Texas
and became a cowboy. AT odd times
he worked as a miner, a printer and a
newspaper reporter. He prospected
for gold a good bit on his own hook,
but never struck it rich. He is not
rich today. Incidentally, he is a
bachelor, and, as this is Leap Year, the
season to go cunning for McLemore is
open. He has served in the Texas
Legislature aud has taken a hand in
politics down there for some time.
McLemore owns and edits a weekly
paper called State Topics, in which he
speaks his mind on various things.
His Texas home is in Houston.
Probably Mr.. McLemore, when he
came to Washington, never entertained
the least idea that he would win
nationwide notoriety by getting up a
resolution to throw a monkeywrench
into the Administration machinery.
But that is just what he did. Outside
of that particular performance, McLe-
more is and exceedingly well-behaved
and apparently sane statesman, who
eats three meals q day, sleeps eight
hours and does not indulge in nearly
SO much talk as most of his colleagues.
p. S.-Sometimes he writes poetry.
But so did John Hay.
