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,
