Abstract:
"An Ellensburg gentleman who visited Washington City recently was taken by Congressman Jones to call on the president. 'Teddy' greeted his visitors with his usual urbanity and after swapping compliments with 'Yakima' Jones turned the conversation to Washington politics. In the course of the take the president is said to have remarked: 'The little birds (republicans) out in Washington don't seem to dwell together in peace and harmony in the party nest, now do they, Mr. Jones?' 'Teddy' is evidently dead next to the gang of quarreling pie hunters who run the politics of the state."
