GRESSMEN DON'T LIKE
. BURLESON'S . LOBBYING
(By George H Manning).
Washington, 'eb. 10. Alln-rt Sidney
Burleson, Postmaster General in Presi
dent Wilson's cabinet, lias been smiibbeu
with neatness and despatch by Claude
Kitchin of North Carolina, the House
leader -elect . kitchin wag the first man
of importance to show openly the ex
treme disapproval and resentment fell
by the House Democrat generally to-'
vard Durleson's insistent efforts -to
dictate their vote upon measures 'be
fore that body and establish himself
as the "Party Boss of the House.''
Burleson, since his appointment as
Postmaster General, has ' divided' his
time bet wen' his olfie" and lobbying
about the Hoii'sc. Jle lias worn a well
beaten path between the White House,
where he consults and advises with
President Wilson pogairding adniiuist ra
tion measures before Congresi, and the
House or Representatives, where he but
tonholes lnennl'ers and tells them the
wax t hePjKblfJtt. wnnts lmin4 vote.
Tin ii he returns to Hie White House
and advises President Wilson how many
votes he may expect on a certain mens.
For a time after March -1, 101'i, the
plan worked well. The Democrats
had just returner, to laiwcr after lii
years ami there was an all round feel
ing of party harmony,' and desire in
bolh the House and Senate to stand
firmly by President Wilson even if
they differed with his views. Then
the Congressmen ftiiind that lluileson
was not following their desires in re
gard to the arpeiutmcnt of postmas
ters and conduct of the postal business,
in tiieir districts, Jut was exceedingly
arbitrary and disregiirdfui of their
wishes. ,
Several Congressmen, whose anger
Burleson has engendered, accuse hint of
acting contrary to their wishes in their
districts, in an effort to compel litem
to vote the way he wanted them to.
Naturally, it was but a short, time be
fore the Congressmen listened passive
ly 0 Burleson's argument when he
called on thorn in the. House cloakroom,
gave him little assurance, and voted
with no regard for his wishes.
The continuance of Burclson's ef
forts to "lions'' the House bv innumer
able visits to the lobbies and requests
by mail that they call on him t his
department, where he would urge them
to vote for or against this or that bill
anon resulted in his advice being abso.
Intel v ignored. .Many Congressmen
npenlv refused his invitations and souie
avoiding visiting the department on
..posloffice business, hut left, the matter
with their clerks, because, every time
they Milled to tilk over posloffice mat
ters Knrleson Would bring Hp legisla
tive business uml insist, they vote this
wnv or that.
The situation has reached the point
of lale where Burleson's influence is
negative. Many member say that
. Burleson has grossly misrepresented the
feelings of, the House- towards mcas.
ures 'Wore' Congress in his advice to
. the President. iud that on fhis ae
, count President Wilson has urged bills
upfiir Congresg in belief-that the ma
jority was for htm, when, in reality,
the majority was strongly against him,
but voted with him afler he had tek
en the stup, for the sake of party har
mony, and in order not to embarriws
him.
Many Congressmen have written let
ters to President Wilson protesting
against Burleson's interference and sug
gest ing that he adopt some other
means of learning the sentiment of
Congress than Iby sending Mr.. Burle
son to the J louse. They have sug
gested that "he confer directly with a
dozen or more of the, House' leaders
from different States instead of getting
