CAUSE OF THE ROW.
Story That Blanton Told to His Con-
stituents in Texas.


stituents in Texas.
The member Of the house most OBJ
jectionable to all his constituents prob
ably Is Thos. l. Blanton of Texas. A
great pretender Of virtue in his speech
es, he has been shown time and again
to be guilty Of all the things he charges
against others. The things he charges
against others are usually only about
half true. They have enough backing
OF facts to suggest q certain plausibil-
tity to those who do not know any bet
ter. He seems to have the idea that
he can make capital for himself by ex-
plotting his Imaginary wickedness of
other people His colleagues do not
hesitate to cali him a liar or a pervert,
and other members OF. the house feel
the same way about It. The story of
the row he raised last Thursday has
already been printed. Here is the sto-
ry Of the speech that caused the row:

That is what Congressman Tho
mas L. Blanton of Abilene wants to
know. Each member of congress is
furnished with a fash of this kind at
the expense of the government, he
said in O public address here.
Mr.. Blanton is on a speech MAX
ing tour of Texas and Oklahoma for
the primary purpose, he says, of max
ing the people of these two states ac-
quainted with the widespread and
petty graft OF his colleagues in con-
gress. He carries, with him an exhib-
it of the various things that comprise
some of the minor perquisites enjoy
ed by congressman at, public expense.
In his address here he displayed not
only the pocket flask but boxes of
beautiful stationery; pocket knives,
which he said cost sS; electric chatting
dishes costing the government SIS,
