Dear Dad: These are the days
when the Washington hotel man
grows rich on the money Of the
man who has come to the capital
hoping TO be suitably rewarded for
the part which he contributed to
the great and notable victory Of
November last.
One hundred and elghty-three
thousand dollars worth OF Jobs
abolished by the democrats, This
makes Secretary NortOn's "efficien-
cy and economy" story look like
cheap press-agenting.
Senator La Toilette has been
promised the delegations from six
western states in case he becomes
a candidate for the presidential
nomination.
The news Of what Hiram w.
johnson has done in California Is
beginning TO percolate through the
east. In course OF time It may
even reach New York. Yes, John
son is presidential timber. He is
young politically young-sort
of sapling timber-but he Is about
the most promising in the repub-
lican grove II would not do to
waste him on the vice presidential
office.
