the past twenty-five years. He said
that while It was the popular idea
that a congressmans' job was more
or less of soft snap he had found
the contrary to be true. He found
plenty OF work waiting for him and
that he really had to work harder
and longer hours than he did In his
own office at home.

Washington. The Congressman said
that the main reason for this desire
was that the president wanted II made
certain that the appropriations re-
quired and desired by the Democratic
. administration would be passed with

could thus so merrily on its way of
reckless expenditure

wishes were not followed by the peo.
