Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 65, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 April 1907 — Crowded. [ARTICLE]

Crowded.

Secretary Taft was, on one occasion, in consultation with Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania. The Secretary is gigantic, and the Senator is taller and weighs more than any member of the Senate. While these two statesmen were in. earnest conversation, an aggressive politician endeavored to enter the room, but an alert secretary politely interfered. = “What are they doing in there?” asked the politician, inquisitively. Tills impertinent question nettled the secretary, and he answered, tersely: “Holding a mass meeting, I presume.” —Harper's Weekly.
