Washington, June 21.-Some new blood has been injected into the Unit ed States senate, and it is natural to suppose thiat the puliblic will be inter osted in a more intimate knowledge of men whom certain states are sending to Washington to represent them in the upper branch of congress.

''Not much,'' replied Senator Bein son. ''If I am a new senator, I'don't bite as easy as that.'' Pespite the exceitement created by the advent of the air ship, the Missourian remained in the senate. chamber busyf with his mail, while his associates stampeded in the, direction of the east front of the capitol.to view the aerial won der. of Delaw u1 erin 89 wt 5nfto i)t6~ hig grip, ta o l4 e 4 Whiehfde. eared that he had'l not been legally elected.

His recent race for United States I senator was devoid of natiy of the picturesque plays which indeliby impressed his personality x1pon the minds of the people of' his native i state. ''Do you know what is the matter with those fellows down. there in Little Rock?'' lie would say. ''I can tell you. ' They're mad. They're iadi as can he because they are not in offfice any more. I turned the whole set of high collared roosters out when I was first elected your gover nlor, and put the men from the plough1 handles in their places.'' For all that, lie had a well-oiled, efficient poitical machine. In his second campaign for gov ernor, Davis wore an old white hat similar to those worn by the resi dents of the distriets he visited. A p)air of' home-knit white socks could . 1b plainly seen above his shoe tops. while fastened diagonally across his <4houlders would be a single suspen Iler strap. ''Those city folks down there wont E speak to me,'' he would say. ''['in Iot (ressed up etnougi for them,'' and- a off the coat would come and ex- 's pose the one ''gallus.'' a Before his third term as governor, a Davis made a campaign for -vindica tion, so lie styled it.
