mentator remarked on "the patriotic speech of
Mr.. Mann of Illinois, for non-partisan support
of preparedness" another on Manns "crafty
utterances" and still another writer described
the speech as an out-and-out bid for the pro-
German vote of Congressman Mann's home
district. Yet only in frenzied imagination
are England and Germany the horns of our
American dilemma. There's only a straight
course of American duty.
So Minority Leader Mann, known heretofore
as small army and navy man." rose in his
seat and said: "Mr. Speaker, in the quietude
of my garden last summer and autumn l
reached certain conclusions which have hes
itated to express, thinking that 1 might
modify them. But as time has gone on and
events have occurred it has seemed to me
even more certain that my conclusions were
right than when 1 first reached them: and 1
think, in justice to myself and, hope with
some slight benefit to my country, I ought to
express those conclusions to the House." He
did express those conclusions to the House
and to his country. The Illinois Congress-
man. the so-called "tituar head of the Re-
publican party" evidently sees something
else in minority leadership than service as
the Administrations thorn in the flesh.

Mann's Fayorite Words


His cordial support of ample preparedness,

ite words are said to be 81 object" The
point was reached long ago where that
constant iteration and reiteration, "I
object" convinced Congressman that the
Illinoisian's vocal cords would atrophy
If he didn't say 1t several times a day.
Mann used to be regarded as one of
Uncle Joe's lieutenants, but Uncle Joe had to
admit that he couldn't make the fellow mind.
Mann was a lieutenant of latitude, and when
he chose would object TO Cannon himself.
Even his enemies quoted the poet thus: mo
favor sways him and no fear shall awe"
And the CannOnites smiled sadly on occa-
sion, "Oh. well, Jim must have his little
fun" And saying spoke truly.
Speaker Clark "I always thought that
was the most industrious man on earth until
1 met Congressman Mann He is the most
industrious, persistent, pestiferous man
ever met. He is the ablest parliamentarian
on the American continent and the ablest
Republican" Taft called him the "ablest
parliamentarian OF the age" An anonymous
journalist: HE is an able citizen, with
big grasp on public questions, clear view
of the needs of the country and a mind that
works accurately and quickly. He talks
and intelligent investigator He takes part
in most of the big discussions in the House,
and tackles anybody or anything that comes
along"
In the quietude of my garden" said Mr..
Mann in his preparedness speech this week.
'I reached certain conclusions" Before Con-
gress opened he had spoken Of the need OF
preparedness, OF national organization for the
emergency OF war, and his recent speech was
important partly on account OF the time and
the place, and especially in view of the Presi.
