On that trip a member friend took
me In to see the late speaker, Champ
Clark. 1t was In the beginning of the
great war. My friend said to Mr.. Clark !:
"Mr. Hardy has come down to Wash
ington to see what we are doing" Mr..
Clark replied in his characteristic
way: IF he can find out, l hope to
God he will let me know" And 1t Is
ever so, we are all seeking information
about the congress, even the speaker
of the house sometimes.
We have got to start from some
place, so we might as well SUI
that you have come to my office In the
house Office building. Every man who
comes to Washington should call on
his congressman. The representatives
are always glad to see folks from back
home; especially so are the members
from the West. Some members from
nearby states have more callers than
they can well take care of.
