THE REAL TES1
CONGRESS
Best Speaker Not All
to His Ca
Editor Press and liaiiucr:
It has occurred to me that many jteople
at home do not know how results are ac
complished in Congress. Some people
may think that the member who makes
the most speeches, or the loudest ones, is
tlie uiost useful congressman. This is not
the case at all. The point I am trying to
make was well illustrated here this week
when Representative Wyatt Aiken got
through a joint resolution making an
emergency appropriation of $3,(KH> lor the
purpose of lighting the army worm in An
derson county and other places where it
had occurred.
lu order to make the whole matter eleai
I had better tell the whole story from the
beginning. Last Sunday night Mr. Aiken
received a telegram from Mr. .1. W. .Roth
rock, the farm demonstration agent foi
Anderson county, telling of the appear
ance of the nrmy worm in that section,
and asking that an expert be sent to look
over the Held and advise the farmers what
to do. Mr. Aiken went to the agricultural
department next morning (Monday) and
saw Secretary Wilson about it. Mr. Wil
son telephoned to Dr. Webster, the ento
mologist of the deoartment. and asked him
to come|over. They discussed the mutter,
and Mr. Aiken insisted that Dr. Webster
should go to Anderson at once. Dr. Web
.Bter said there was no money available?
ahat the appropriation bill for this year
had not been passed, and that all the mon
ey given in the last appropriation bill had
been exhausted.
Mr. Aiken begau fueling iu his pockets
and pulling out money. "I don't know
whether I have enough money with me to
pay your expenses," he said, "but I can
get some more by the time the train
leaves."
"I'm game too," exclaimed Secretary
Wilson, and he began to dig up. too. Aud
between them Mr. Aiken and Secretary
Wilson made up enough money to pay Dr.
Webster's expenses on the trip, and he
left Washington that night.
Dr. Webster reached Anderson Tuesday
afternoon and at once got an automobile (
and went to the infested section, in com
pany with Mr. liothroclc ana otner eiu-|
zens. He found the situation worse than
he had expected, and went back into An- |
derson that night and sent Mr. Aiken a'
telegram giving the result of his trip. Ho
urged that more money be made available
at once in order to put other experts in
the fleled.
Mr. Aiken got this telegram Wednesday
morning. He did not know how much
money would be needed, but as soon as the
house met he introduced a joint resolution
making an appropriation of $15,000, had
the resolution referred to the committee
on agriculture, and then telephoned to
Secretary Wilson to come up to the cap- (
itol and talk to the committee about it.;
Mr. Aiken then went to work,seeing the
members of the house personally and ex-'
plaining the matter to them. The leaders
on both sides of the house, Republicans as,
well as Democrats, were seen and all of(
them agreed to support tho resolution.
Mr. Fitzgerald, the chairman of the ap-,
propriations committee, was seen. "Well, |
lr??rv*r? tfii Aca Ia niolro n raitAi'/l
for economy," he said, "but this seems to
bo a case in which you need money down j
there, and you need it right now. Figure'
out just how little you can get along with, j
and I will not oppose it." Other influen-1
tial members of the house told Mr. Aiken ,
the same thing.
Secretary "Wilson appeared aud went be- j
fore the committee. He was told what,
Air. Fitzgerald had said, and after discuss
ing the matter for a while, he said he
thought $5,000 would be suillcient to carry
on the work until tlie regular appropria
tion bill should be passed. Thereujton,
the committee reduced the amount uamed
in the resolution from $15,000 to $5,000,
and Mr. Heflin of Alabama was instruct
ed to report the resolution favorably to
the house on Thursday, of course,
all of this took some time, and by
the time the resolution was leported to
the house Mr. Aiken hat! talked to practi
cally every member present, and had lined
everybody up for it. Mr. Heflin made a
short talk, explaining the necessity for the
appropriation, which everybody had been
told of before hand, and iu a very few
minutes the resolution had passed the
hoHse. There was not a dissenting vote.
Mr. Aiken then had the resolution hur
ried to the senate. Under the regular
routine it would uot have been sent to the
senate until the next day, but Mr. Aiken
was in a hurry, and he speeded things up.
In the seuate an unexpected obstacle was

encountered. The senate was working
u in lor a uuai]iiuou8 consent arrangement,
by which the tariff bills were to be voted
on before any other business of any kind '
would be considered. Under this agree- .
ment Mr. Aiken's resolution could not pos
sibly be reached before Monday. Mr.
Aiken went to work and explained to the
leaders on both sides, and made them
promise that they wmild not delay his re
solution. He talked to nearly all the sen
utors that afternoon, and perfected an ar
rangement by which his resolution was
taken up that night, after the vote on the
wool bill was taken, and it was passed
without a dissenting vote. Senator Smith
.lid not know of the army worm being in
South Carolina until Mr. Aiken came over
u> the senate with the resolution that had
Imjku passed by the house. He got very
much excited, and said 15,000 would not be
enough, and wanted to increase the
umouut to t'25,000. Mr. Aiken told him ^
that Secretary Wilson had said that $5,000
v* Oil HI LH5 suiuurut, ouu ui|(ru uuu i-v i^u | s
the $5,000 appropriation go through with- ^
out delay, pointing out that an amend- t
merit would wild it back to the house and ^
conferees would have to be appointed, aud i ^
the matter would be delayed, and very | e
probably the whole appropriation would ! t
be defeated. Senator Smith finally con
sented to this, and Mr. Aiken's resolution
went through the senate without a dls- *
senting vote, Just as It had passed the
house.
Within 48 hours after Mr. Aiken was J
no titled or the appearance or the army -
worm In Anderson county he had an ex- j
part oh lh? grvuud, aad within 48 hours ^
more after the expert had made his re- ?
pott Mr. Aiken had secured another $5,000
for stamping out the evil. Quick work,
wasn't it?
And Mr. Aiken did this effective work
without making any speeches. He not did 1
use gum shoe methods, nor did he use a
brass band. He knew what to do, and
weut ahead and did it without delay. By
working on the members of the house and
senate personally ho got what was needed,
and got it without delay. If he had made
the most eloquent speech In the world,
and tilled many pages of the Congression
al Record, he could not have accomplished
the desired end hulf so quickly. Nor ^
could a new member of congress, no mat- i
ter now aoie or eloquent, nave nccoiupnsn
ed such results. He simply would not j
have known what to do, or how to go
about it?h? would not have had the per- J
feonut influence that was necessary, and
that can be attained only by long and ac- j
ceptable service.
This incident shows the kind of a con
gressman Wyatt Aiken is. lie has ability .
and energy, and the tiling that men cal. ^
personal magnetism, and he is always on
the job. He is personally one of the most '
popular men In the house, and he is ab
solutely honest. There has never been ^
any suspicion as to his integrity. He i?
true to his party and to the best principles
of his stute, and as he never talks on the ^
floor of the house unless he has something ^
to say, he is always listened to with re
8|>ect. Ht> iiRi* nut taiKea muisoir u>
death," as so many members of congress
have done. He has not destroyed his in
Quence by too much speech making. Yet
he is one of the most effective speakers in
the house, us is shown by the fact that in
the two last national campaigns Mr. AU <
ken'B tariff speeches were incorporated in
the Democratic campaign book. Only the
best, speeches are used for this book. The
le jers of the party thought Mr. Aiken'?
speeches wei so good, of the hundreds of
speeches made in congress, that they were
willing to go before the country on them.
And it is re|K>rted here today that the
campaign book for this year, soon to be
issued, will contain another of Mr. Aiken's
speeches. It will be read by millions of
votere between now and November. This
shows what the party leaders* think of Mr.
Aiken's speeches. They do not select the
weakest speeches to.put before the people
of the country.
Mr. Aiken's record in the House is as
good as that of the best. He is on im
portant committees, and he is an influen
tial and effectual member. He has many
bills to his credit. In one congress he se
cured the passage of more bills than any
other member. Democrat or Republican,
senator or representative. This is a re- <
markabie statement, but it can be verified |
by the word If any one will take the trou* .
ble to do so. Haven't the people of the 1
Third district every reason to feel notonly j
satisfied with their congressman but proud <
of him:1
Will the voters of the Third district vote
to retire such a Congressman? They will
not, if they are in their right minds, and <
there is no reason to fear that the people .
are losing their senses.
