WASHINGTON' POLITICAL fiOSSII
livldontly tbnro la not that har
monious fooling In the ranks of the
democrats In congress over the
liluna of tho president, that one lb
led to believe from the carefully pre
pared preBS reportH emunutlng from
the white house. When such open
comments as the following are heard
in public places at tho capital, It
would almost appear thut a revolt
was Imminent:
"The trip of tho president Is over
and I do not think, he has won a
single member of conferees ovor to
ms plan of preparedness," suld a
democratic member talking to la
group of his colleagues. "We have
ninety democrats who are opposed to
this military program of President
Wilson, and so far as I know, there
Is not a faltering member In our
ranks. When this matter comes up
for consideration, I am confident ev
ery ono of theBo men will stand
firm, for we all bellcvo wo are battl
ing for a principle. The speedier
of the president which often border
ed on tile hysterical, have not stir
red tho American pooplo so far as
I have been ublo to learn. I thlnl
the American people havo got th
Idea pretty well into their heads th:
this was a political Junket on th
part of tho presldenl, and they hav
refused to ho 'fired up' by his beau
tlful rhotoifc or his catchy expros
slons. This meeting we had In Wash
Ington during his (absence, hvhlc'
was a protest against bis plans an
his methods, was mighty signifies
The greai twealte where it was lie
was packed to tho doors and I ll-i:
tho enthusiasm and aoiillmeiir u,
was back of us on that that orcar
Ion rndlnlos the views of the gro
army of ilcmncrnts all over 1.1
country."
He surely can beat the band!
I've heard thia sold of a lot
geeks
As I've wandered hither and yon.
It's always some chap who "Im
promptu" speaks
And makes a hit with his con.
But I happen to know (no matter
how)
That the guy with the ready gnl
Would be as dumb as a tongue-tied
cow
!f he didn't boldly grab
Hack into the flies of his memory
For story and former speech
From which with a cluster of ver-
ningo, ne
Could conjure his little preach.
It seems like a shame to betrny the

And tell bow tho thing Is done,
Tut tho rpooeli-niakltia game is ai
