Washington Laughs' at "Loud
- Applause" Interspersed In '
Printed "Speeches."
' (Waalilng-ton Bureau of The Journal.)
Wahhington, May 7. On May 1 th
Washington Star printed a humoroui
reference to Representative Lafferty'a
use of the "leave to print" by extending
Mb remark! In the CongreBBlonal Record
with liberal interpolations of the refer
ence in bracket (applause). , Lafrerty
seemingly found the .reference distaste
ful, for Just at the Close of the session,
on Way 1. at 11 p. m., he rose to a ques
tion of personal privilege, saying:
', "In the Evening Star newspaper this
, afternoon appears an article entitled,
"hat t erty - ends speech v with loud ap-
plause. The ; representative from Ore
gon takes advantage of leave to printi "
Representative Mann raised the point
of order that there was no quorum pres
ent and the speaker, evidently not rel
' lulling any prolongation of the session
to hear a grievance, remarked: '
"Evidently there is no quorum pres
ent." - - ,f. w .. ;
So the bouse adjourned, and for the
time' Lafferty had to bottle up his indig
nation. . ,
The article Is as follows: ,
"Representative Lafferty of Oregon,
whose life history, written by himself,
holds the record for length and ampli
tude in the present congressional dlrec-
tory, broke into print again today in
the Congressional Record tinder the
leave to print' section, and, . with a
plentiful sprinkling of 'applause,' sets
forth a speech on the tariff and many
.things else, ending up with the braket-
. ,ed climax of 'Loud applause.' V
,'t "Mr. Lafferty's speech as extended
under the 'leave to print' rule, against
which so many congressmen are pro-
testing, cohtains several paragraphs of
reference to the tariff, but following one
of th 'applause' brackets the 'leave to
print1 Branches off Into a series of re-
' marks oa the. tentacles. of , big business,
th high' price' of carfare, the crowded
condition of the streetcars In this city,
an eulogy of George W. Perkins, and the
remark that? 40 per cent of the wealth of
the United States Is controlled by SO
men.
Origin of Applause Wot Oivea.
: "Mr. Lafferty also tells of the price
of telegrams, the price of telephones,
and mentions the fact that one of the
first books he ever read was Biack
tone s Commentaries; and then made
the romark, under 'leave to print,' that 1
if Blackstonc were alive today he would
e a rrogresBive 'or a Progressive Re
publican, which tripfuis the namn thin?.'
Tho 'loud appluusp,' falil to havo fol
lowed thin dictum, is anonymous. Tho
Record dlif'oloses naught f Its orlcln.
Then, following the speech, under the
'leave to print' rule, Mr. Lnffcrty of
Oregon has had extended In the Record
several paces of the 'I'rogresnlve meas
ures' introduced by him In the present
congress. One of the bills, to affect
human, progress was for the coinage of
3 -cent pieces,
Bepeats His Life History.
"And at the very end of his section
of this morning's Record Mr. Lafferty
has had reprinted his life history as he
wrote it himself for the Congressional
Directory, with a slight change. In the
original sketch Mr. Lafferty called at
tention to his gentle manner, albeit he. Is
a congressman, by saying that his name
is Abraham Walter Lafferty, 'but has
always been called Walter; and signs his
name simply A. W. Lafferty,' '
- "In the rewritten sketch printed to
day ln the Record he ha left out1 the
word 'simply.' Yet the word picture of
the young congressman as he fought
against the devilfish of the western land
grabbers remains intact, and the Record
again depicts the military genius of
brother Rolla, who enlisted in the army
at the age of 17 and attained the grade
of corporal, next higher to the private,
before he left' the ranks."
