hausted and the drumming chant of
"Vote, vote, vote" could no longer
be denied, the vote was taken. The
winner: Lyndon johnson, candidate
of the new members, who has since
been elected to the actual Congress
and is now serving his second term
from the 10th district of Texas.

ner as those in the real House. A
chairman is named for each side
and he selects the speakers and
allots the 20 minutes allowed each
side. This practice is similar to
that of the actual House, where the
chairman of the committee report
ing a bill usually directs the af-
firmative side of the debate with the
ranking minority committee member
managing the debate against the
proposed legislation.
The chairmen select the best in
formed men and women on the
topic under discussion to present
their sides, and they have a wide
choice. A secretary, for instance,
may have spent days assembling
material for his boss to use in dis
cussing the same subject in the
House. Armed with this knowledge,
he can make as informed and in
telligent a speech as perhaps the real
Congressman will make.
Strong Arguments.
A secretary who has prepared ma
terial for his Representative or Sem
ator to use in supporting, say, trade
agreements with Latin America,
may make a powerful, persuasive
argument on that side of the de-
bate in Little Congress. And he
may be answered no less compell-
ingly by q Little Congressman who

may leave the meeting arm-in-arm
engrossed in friendly conversation.
In the fierce fire of verbal COM
bat, the newcomer learns. Many
times a few months after suffering
a severe verbal chastisement, a raw
youngster from the hinterlands may
return to castigate his antagonist
in debate and meet his barbed shafts
Of sarcasism with sharper wit and
more effective logic than those of
his experienced rival.
The oratorical training of the
Little Congress has been put to
good use by many members who
have returned to their native States
to distinguish themselves, using the
oratory they learned in the old cau-
Gus room to convince voters on the
hustings or jurors in the court
room. Several have returned to
Washington as members of Con-
gress. Lyndon johnson has been
mentioned. Paul Kvale, ex-repre-
sentative from Minnesota, was once
a Little Congressman, and Ken
meth Romney, sergeant at arms of
the House of Representatives, was
one of the founders of Little Con-
gress. Guy Mooney, once secretary
to Representative Scott Leavitt, is
now the editor of a Montana news
paper.
Only last summer Ed Black, secre-
tary to Representative Owen of
Georgia, who died, ran creditable
race to fill his seat, missing his goal
by only few hundred votes.
Heckled by Experts.
No Little Congressman, running
for real elective Office, will be much
abashed by the heckling of un-
friendly partisans when he's max
ing a speech. He's been heckled in
Little Congress by experts who take
delight in discomfiting ardent ora

"A tropical storm accompanied by
