All Know Story

<nAa A&h1W SAGi
The Importance Of all this now is
that every member of both house
and senate knows the whole story.
They know, in effect. that the Presi-
dent was badly beaten on two issues
very close to his heart-sugar and
Supreme court enlargement. So
they will be less fearful of opposing
any of the Presidents must"
measures from now on. Which
bodies evil for the Roosevelt pro-
gram in the next session.
The conflict of personalities is al
so significant. 1t was Pat Harrison
who really led the fight for the pres
ent sugar bill, a fight which came
to a boil during the struggle of the
Mississippi senator to be elected
Democratic leader in place of Joe
Robinson. Everybody knows that
1t was President Roosevelt's inf1u-
ence that beat Pat, and elected AL
len Barley, of Kentucky. So Pat
lost the honor he craved, but the
President lost fight in which he
was more determined than on any
measure this session except the
court bill.

Boland Has Something

Patrick j. Boland, Democratic
whip of the house, is not as we'll
known to the general public as he
deserves. The title carries the idea
to most folks of sort of sergeant
alarms, or call boy, who rounds up
the congressman for a vote. Sounds
like a leg job rather than one in
volving leadership.
Actually, of course, il is rather
an important place, which gives its
holder the privilege of sitting in on
the party councils, and at least
the opportunity of demonstrating
his ability, If any. Add to that the
point that congressman get to know

burn, leading an invading army past

of the property. it has always been

After being rebuilt, this home was
later rented to Robert Gallatin, Sec
retary of Treasury under Thomas
Jefferson. Later Susan Sewell Dain-
gerf1eld, granddaughter OF Robert
Sewell married John Barber, dis
tinguished Senator from Virginia, who
occupied 1t from 1872 to 1879. Sub
sequently Senator and Mrs. Porter
Dale of Vermont purchased the house
from the Daingerfield heirs.
Known today as Alva Belmont

service Of Mrs. Belmont to the cause
OF equal rights for women, the history
of its requirement by the National
