ON - 49, w.
feeliR' iv tn vice-prisidint about tn
p~risidint's well-bein' is very deep. On
rainy days he calls at tn White HOUSE
an begs tn prisidint not to go out
without his rubbers. He has as Mrs.
Vice-Prisidint knit HIN a shawl to
protect his throat again tn night air.
III tn prisidint a a touch Nv fever.
tn vice-prisidint gets a touch iv fever
himsilf. He has tn doctor on tn
phone during tn night. Doc, I hear
tn prisidint is onwelf,' he says. 'Cud
l do anything FIR him-annythfng
like dhrawin' his salary or appinsin'
tn postmaster art Indianapolis? p 1T
Is principally. Hinnissy. because Nv tn
vice-prisidint that most If our prisi-
dints ave enjoyed such rugged
health. Tn vice-prisidint guards tn
prisidint an tn prisidint afther sizin'
up tn v~ice-prisidint concludes that
1t wud be betther fr tn country If
/ nc Shou I'VE yCI hllc Know,
says tn prisidint to tn v~ice-prisidint,
'ivry time I see you / feel tin years
younger 'Ye'er kind wurruds,' says
tn vice-prisidint, brings tears to me
eyes. My wife was sayin' on'y this
mornin' how comfortable we ar-re in
our little fiat Some vice-prisidints
have been so anxious FIR tn p~risidint's
safety that they've had to be warned
off tn White House grounds.
Aside firm tn arjoos ruties iv look
in afther tn prisidint's health, it is
tn business iv tn vice-prisidint to pre-
side over tn deliberations fv tn Sinit.
Ivry mornin' between ten an twelve.
he swings his hammock in tn pala-
chial Sinit Chamber an sinks off into
dhreamless sleep. He may be
awakened be Siniter Tilllman pokin'
Sinitor Hoar In tn eye. This is wan
way tn Sinit has iv deliberatin'. If
so, tn vice-prisidint rises firm his
hammock an TIL Sinitor will
come to ordher.' He won't says tn
sinitor. o. very well.' says tn pre-
sidin' officer; he won't ar dhrops
off again. 1t is his jooty to vigorously
enforce tn rules iv' tn Sinit. There
ARE none. TIL Sinit isruled by cou,-
tesy like tn longshoreman's union.
TIL vice-prisidint is not expected to
butt in much. 1t wud be a breach iv
sinitoryal courtesy FIR him to step
down an part tn sinitor firm Texas
an tn sinitor firm I%njyanny in tn
middle iv a debate undher a desk on
whether Northern gintlemen ARE
more gintlemanly thin Southern gin
tlemen. l shudden'st wondher if he
thried to do it if he was taught his
place with tn leg iv a chair. He isn't
aVen called upon to give a decision.
All that his grateful country de-
mands firm tn man that she ilivated
to this proud position on tn toe iv
her boot. is that he shall keep his
opinyons to himsilf. An so he whites
away tn pleasant hours in tn beau
tiful city iv Wash'nton, an whin he
wakes up he is ayether in tn White
House or in tn sthreet. I'll niver say
anything again tn vice-prisidincy.
1t is a good job an is richly deserved
be ayether Hinnery Gassaway Davis
or Charles Fairbanks. An be hivens,
I'll go further an say 1t richly deserves
ayether iv thim."
Has tn candidates accepted tn
nommynation FIR prisidint" asked Mr..
Hennessy.
NO" said Mr.. DooIey, eth CONT
ties haven't med I'D their minds
whether they will give tn dimmy-
crat nommynation to RosenfeIt, an
tn republican nommynation to
Parker. or vicy varsy. 1t don't make
| much difference ~annyHaN"
