The question early arose as to whether or not the body should be non-partisan. This was quickly settled—no political parties in ‘Little Congress, and no~di- vision of Repblicans on one side of the hall and Democrats on the other. The secretaries decided that they would be guided by ‘principles before politics (though whether the secretary of John Cabot Lodge, would rise to defend the League of Nations is doubtful to our mind.) Another point of tradition came up. According to the Constitution of the organization, a speaker holds office two months. When the first speaker's term ended, he stated firmly that he would not consider another term as he. had always believed in one term for execu- ciple into practice. refused a nomination for second tevin on the strength of his past remarks, This.tirst speaker of the congress sec: of Besides knowine all the tricks of secretaries was Ned Baldwin, retary of Representative Sinnott Oregon. times secretary and twice acting ehalr man of, the Oregon State Republican), committee.

Of course, he might establish residence in another district and run for office ‘there, but he would have to build up @ new support, for his. friends ,and acquaintances would naturally be in the district he had left. About the only way for a secretary to reach congress is for the congressman ‘to retire or die, and even then not one secretary in’a hundred succeeds his em- ployer.” Mr. Baldwin has located one sena- * | tor and seven representatives now in} congress. who have been secretaries. and have spoken, at-‘open meetings to by recalling his experiences when sen- ators thot $25 a month enough to pay for an office valet.
