STEWART NEA Service Writer ‘ASHINGTON—Some congress- men Were born to be congress- men. All congressmen start eut as something else, generally as lawyers, but these natural-born ones have the congressional virus in their blood from earliest infancy, and as soon as they’re elected it breaks out all over them. Thenceforward they're primarily ‘congressmen and doctors, lawyers @r_merchants and so forth only in- cidentally. Others, before breaking into poli- ties, become too thoroughly satur- ated with their various original call- ings ever to get them out of their systems. These remain essentially docters, lawyers ind merchants, and @fe congressmen only secondarily. THE KEY. WEST CITIZEN 8 INGRESSMAN BLANTON -¢€ Texas, for instance, is almost exclusively »@ congressmam He was a lawyer. to begin with, bit as a congressman, he swallowed self up as a lawyer. Senator Copeland of New York, en the other hand, is @ striking speci- men of a doctor who happened to be elected to the Senate. He seldom has. anything to say about legisla- tion except as it relates to questions of health, sanitation or the practice of medicine. . Otherwise he’s indit- ferent. For example, the coal strike interested him immensely—because it was giving his constituents pneu- monia. t If Blanton lost his congressional job he’a dry up end blow away, or at any rate hibesnate until he got it back again. If Dr. Qopelang were retired he'd go back, with.& Hight heart, to writing mediom articles, .
