The latter does not have 10 take his

that and more with the President his

months. There were days and days at
the summer capital when they reeled off
three, four or FIVE miles ON the golf
course and thought nothing of it.
Callers do not crowd the White
House Office portals quite as thickly
during the holidays. There is always
an exodus of folks, the moment SEES

break for the earliest trains and to
that extent deplete the population in
Washington hotels and other places of
entertainment for travellers sojourning
at the capitol The Washington hotels
are now approaching the stage where
they resemble summer establishments

Democratic Activities.
All this of course, will change almost
over night soon, when the tide of travel
sets Washingtonward again. There

bers toward the capltaI city for few
days.
Not only will the Democratic repre-
sentatives.elect want to look the city
over about the time that Democrats are
iubilating in the Lyric Theater, Mt Bal
timore. where Andrew Jackson was
nominated for the Presidency, and
while the house Democratic caucus is
gathering. but there will be numerous
state and local celebrities who will
want to ''size up" the situation and
'Iearn what's going" Consequently
during the middle days of January,
Washington is likely to resemble a ma
tional convention city. Baltimore, of
course, is less than an hour ride by
rail from Washington and visitors can
readily take in the Democratic festivi'
ties of both cities.

fact that he is of,the opposing party

1t happens that this Democratic
migratioplto Baltimore and Washington
viii come just about the time that
numerous legislatures begin balloting
for United States senators. The fact
may deter some notables from journey
ing to Baltimore and Washington and
require others to hasten home. The
Democrats have more or less business
on hand in electing senators in Maine
New York, New Jersey, West Virginia
and Ohio right away. No senatorial
primaries blazed the way in those
States, with the exception of New Jer
sey, and it remains to be seen whether
the popular choice in Jersey will lane
the toga.
Must Make Record.
However, after all is said, January
promises to be big Democratic month
1t is the month that ushers in the new
year. Upon the Democratic perform
ances at the national capital and al
numerous State capitals, during thai
month, viii depend much the record The
party makes in the very important
political year of 1911.
1t has been much noted that these
political victors have done very little
exulting in Washington or elsewhere
but if they get through 1911 without
serious troubles, they will be warranted
in trotting out all the growing rooster
;. they can command.
