pen to the party to which the Senator
has given his allegiance all his life
in November.
Mr.. President. I wish to put In the
Record something about the Second
Congressional district. In the year
1909 the Republicans carried that dis
trict by 1871. In the year 1904 the
majority was much In excess Of 1000;
1t was two thousand and something
three or four hundred. In 1906 thu
Democratic candidate received 16,75a
votes and the Republican candidate
20,SS4 votes, a majority Of 3,632.
In the year 1908 the Republican
candidate received clear majority
Of 1851. In the year 1910 the Demo.
cratic party nominated most re-.
markable man, Hon. ". G. Brown. He
carried the district by 1894, but ev.
eryone understands that 1t was vic.
tory for Brown and not q victory for
the Democratic party. The largest Re-
publican county in the district, Pres
ton, Is usually good for a Republican
majority Of from 1000 to $500. In.
stead Of 1t giving a majority against
Mr.. Brown, he was related to so
many people, connected with 80 many
people, and personally was so popu.
lar there, as he was here to the time
Of his death, that he carried that coun.
ty by a substantial majority and won
his election.
In the year 1919 that district gave
Mr.. Roosevelt 1894 votes and Mr..
Taft 10.420 votes, making combined
opposition vote Of 25254 to- 21,955
given for Mr.. Wilson, making Re.
publican majority Of $500. Notwith.
standing that Mr.. Brown was elected
to congress.
Mr.. Thomas-By what majority?
Mr.. Chilton-I have not the exact
majority. but think 1t was 1855, less
than 200.
In the same year Notwithstanding
the fact that Governor Hatfield ran
considerably behind his ticket he car.
ried that district BY 2463.
In 1914 Mr.. Brown had o plurality Of
1851 votes and the Progressive vote
was 1,2s6. leaving Mr.. Brown with
a majority Of only 85. n
