senator made a speech, was certainly
the most delightful way of defining a
somewhat chilling incident.
It has passed into history that Hon.
Wilkinson Call of Florida, though for
three terms a United States senator
and highly honored by hia state, did
uot make a great impression on ths
senate as a speaker, and that n« thus
disappointed all those who have ths
tradition in their minds that all south-

members of the senate who were there
filed out to get luncheon. No one re-
trai*d on the floor to listen to the
Epe&h, but the president of the senate
still sat IB his place, dignified and
calm. The galleries were also empty,
and the incident became the subject of
Washington gossip. At a dinner party
where a southern politician was a
guest it was asked what he thought of
the southern senator's audience when
he made his speech in the senate this
morning. Then came a clever answer,
for the southern man said, with a
grave face: "I thought it a very dis-
tinguished audience. There was no
person there of less rank than the vice
