} RUSH PASSAGE OF DECL AT10N OF INDEPENDENCE

Horse flies, or at least livery stable
flies, played a big part in the adop-
tion of the Declaration of Independ
ence.
If it hadn't been for these flies,
which flew in the windows of In
dependence Hall in Philadelphia and
blt the worthy members Of the Con-
tihental Congress on their silk
stockinged legs-skimpy plus fours
being then in style-Independenc
Day might have come on July 8, or
10. or maybe not till August.
This is no playful fancy, but sober
history, vouched for in the memoirs
OF Thomas jefferson himself, and
Jefferson was the man who wrote
the first draft of the famous docum
ent.
Extended Sessions
Years after the signing, jefferson
delighted to tell this story. The
debate on Jefferson's document
began on July 2, l776. There was
much wrangling. In two days, eight
cen OF Jcfferson's sentences had been
suppressed, ten had been amended,
and six had been added.
Thursday, July 4, was sultry
summer day. Late in the afternoon
it raiRed. The flies-swarms Of them,
according to Jefferson-left the liv-
cry stable near independence Hall
and came in to see how the delegates
were getting along. The delegates
were having trouble, and the flies,
as though sent by Providence. began
to take action.
They nipped away at Continental
Congressional legs until Contin-
entail Congressman could stand it no
longer. They were many of those
Congressman who wanted to speak,
but the flies were too much for them.
Passage was urged to escape the flies
and passage was had. The delegates
went home and left the historic hall
to the flies.
Preceded Jefferson
The real father of the Declaration
of independence was man few
school youngsters today hear Of. This
was Richard Henry Lee, Of Virginia,
who might have written the Declara-
tion itself had it not happened that
his wife was taken suddenly i'll and
that he went home to be at her bed
side, leaving to jefferson the honor
OF composition.
Lee wrote what was really the
first declaration, short resolution
which was put before Congress on
June 2, l776. On that day Lee moved
"that these United Colonies are and
of right ought to be free apd inde-
pendent states; that they Sare alb
solved from all allegiance to the
British crown; and that all connec-
tion between them and the states Of
Great Britain is and ought to be dis
solved" :.
There, in ene short paragraph, is
the whole Declaration Of Independ-
ence. You can even find this very
wording in. the closing sentences Of
the Jefferson draft.
Lees resolution was debated June
8 and 8, and II was the Lee resolu-
tion which came before Congress on
July 4 and had to be passed before
Jefferson's expanded declaration was
taken up.
One other Continental Congress
man who stepped aside to give JEFF
ferson the honor Of writing the IA
NOUS document was John Adams.
Jeffetson wanted Adams to write it.
Adams wanted Jefferson to write
