Off hand we would say that Represen- tative Hobbs of Alabama, one time a Sunday school teacher, would exceed 200 pounds by a fair margin He is both tall and burly. Recpresentative Doughton of North Carolina might also tip the that poundage for while, not so plump as Hobbs, is tall and full of framework. Going to the Senate, the spectator’s eye is imme- diately caught by the massive form of Senator John- son of Colorado, who is not only one of the biggest of legislators, but also one of the newest. He sort of contradicts the 200-pound theory. It is possible some of the other 200-pounders went to Congress before they reached the heavy-duty stage. But Johnson had his 200 pounds with him when he left Colorado. A quick glance around the Senate Chamber pro- bably will show also Dieterich of Tllinois and perhaps tall and stately Ashurst of Arizona as above the 200- pound line. As to what happens to tenth-of-a-ton members after they get to Congress, there might be a division of opinion. The really top-flight jobs seem to go to heavyweights. The late Senator Joe Robinson pro- bably did a shade better than 200. So do Senator Barkley of Kentucky, Robinson’s successor as major- ity leader, and possibly Senator Harrison of Missis- gippi, Barkley's defeated rival. But often enough important commitiee posts are held down by flyweights to middle-weights Glass, chairman of appropriations, probably passed 125 pounds.
