This Peace trip is not an original Idea, (It was originated by some obscure MANAFACTURER OF KNICK NACKS,) _Name furnished at advertising rates_, Its always the same, the fellow who originates anything or starts something new is generally called a nut, The next fellow comes along takes his Idea improves on it and of course is a smart man, Of Course this No 2 Company used better Judgement than the first one. This one waited till the war was over to Go, This is the only case in Theatrical History where the No 2 Company was better than the original, Of corse I claim this Manafacturer in some middle west town (I cant seem to recall that fellows name) made one mistake, There were people on his Boat that should never have had a return trip ticket, Through Holland receiving them is where the Kaiser got his idea of going there, Of course there was a lot of dissatisfaction against the Pres going, Mostly by people whom he did not take along, I was in favor of his going because I thought it would give us a chance to find out who was Vice President, But it Dident, I also felt confident that he was the only man that could explain the 14 points We were especially lucky in having him represent us in England as he is the only one we could have sent that spoke good enough english that they could understand, He would have taken a Senator but couldent find one that had a dress Suit A congressman of course was out of the question He couldent have eaten off a 15 million dollar plate He would have starved to death looking at it, For awhile it looked like Mr Hughes would get to go, While the others were signing up he could have been investigating, his report would have been ready the day before the next election, Also asked a manafacturer from some lake town (I cant think of that Birds name) But he said "No thank you one trip cured me" The Sectry of Agriculture was named to go for a while, It was thought that if we were fortunate enough to be assigned any loose Islands at the meeting He could immediately advise what to plant thereby getting in a crop next year, _MR ROOT_ was named then some one happened to think of RUSSIA and that was off, _Wanted_ BRYAN _to go but nobody knew where he was,_ I wanted to go along as _JESTER_ Pres Wilson will miss his comedy when he gets away from Congress, I wanted to represent the United Press (the one that sent in that prematur peace report) I could have had them there before they started, See they took one Republican with them, But I have never read any thing in the papers about him landing, Just about chucked that guy overboard, =Took a republican along to argue with on the way over,= =They will about make him Wait on the Peace Table,= See where Admiral Dr Grayson stood his Maiden voyage well, Mr Creel went along to suppress any SCANDAL that may crop up On arriving they found they had forgotten something after searching they found it was the _Industrial Committee_,
