There was no
applause, but he had expected none. Senator Dorman was already
saying “Mr. President?” and there was a stir in the crowded
galleries, and an anticipatory moving of chairs among the Senators.
In the press gallery the reporters bunched together their scattered
papers and inspected their pencil-points with earnestness. Dorman
was the last speaker of the Senate, and he was on the popular side
of it. It would be the great speech of the session, and the
prospect was cheering after a deluge of railroad and insurance
bills. | | Similar Items: | Find |
