Necessary to Face Great Pressure
for Admission to Building.

rienced. Every member of Congress
has received from so to 500 letters re-
questing a card of admission Ito hear

resentative. it is easily seen that the
demand and the supply are far apart
II is promised that no amount Of
pleading will admit persons without
cards to the Capitol building on the
