Oh. gentlemen. the human animal is a practical animal. and when somebody is making war on a Member of Congress out in his district. first for the nomination. then for an election. there is a temptation to respond to the demand that is made.

I have seen some California Representatives turn double somersaults in order to respond to a temporary demand. Of course. my friend from California has no feeling of that kind.
