SENATORIAL ORATORY
 FREQUENTLY AIDED BY
 RELAXING THE RULES

WASHINGTON, D. c, Apr. i3- e-President Dawes spectacular at tack on onenlan marathon talking events in the senate, and the more recent eight-hour speech of Senator Copeland of New York against the Isle of Pines treaty, has led capital attaches to dig up noted instances oi lengthy senatotal addresses. The unofficial record is held by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin Speaking on currency measure, on May 29, 1908, he held the floor for IS hours and 20 minutes.
 A 15-hour speech is credited to Senator Walkner of West Virginia on January 16, 1891, when the Force bill was under discussion. Senator Allen of Nebraska on October 11-12, 1893, engaged the attention of the Senate for IA hours on the repeal of the silver bill and a similar pc riod was consumed by Senator Car ter of Montana on March 2-3, 1901 while discussing rivers and harbors measure. Senator Jones, Republi. can, Washington, made a 13-hour and 35 minute speech on February S-10, 1915, during consideration of the ship purchase bill; Senator Bur- ton of Ohio spoke for 12 hours and 10 minutes on rivers and harbors bill on September 1919, 1914; and Senator Shoot of Utah is credited with speech extending II hours and 35 minutes on July 22, 1913, when the Underwood tariff measure was under debate.
 The chamber at the other of the capitol can lay claim to no such pro- longed oratorical efforts. House rules preclude any lengthy address by one man, the longest being two or two and half hours, when the chairman of committee, in charge of major bill, is explaining it's pro- visions.
 The elapsed time counted as the measure of a senate speech is not always occupied entirely with speak ing. Frequently the speaker is in terrupted by questions or quorum calls, which give a breathing space. The strict rule is that in order to keep the floor senator must speak from his desk and remain standing, but various presiding officer have countenanced a liberal interpretation of this and permitted senators to walk about the chamber or rest on the arms of their chairs
 Senator Copeland, when he held the floor for eight hours, recently, drank in the course of his speech two glasses of milk, in which eggs were beaten up, bowl of soup, and much water.
