Some OF them will go TO work. Some
4 will continue 10 draw salaries from
the government. Some don't have to
work, and will retire In dignity TO their
respective homes to look on while 9th
crs play the game.
AS usual, Senator Aldrich has moth
ing To say about his plans. He never
has. He will probably retire TO MS
naIatial home at Newport and occupy
himself with gathering dividends from
4 the rubber and sugar trusts and the
other great industries which ne served
so well, incidentally keeping
weather eye upon the political machin'
cry OF Rhode Island to see that no
cogs slip loose.
Beverage of Indiana, the only pro
gressive senator defeated for re-elec
ton, will join the ranks OF the scribes

dreams OF future political preferment,
Beveridge will fight shy of the law
and It's possible entangling alliances
with big business, and instead will try

political ideas for which he stands,
With maybe a lecture or so now and
then to help out.

Senators Dick OF Ohio and Kean Of
New Jersey are both SO shy that they
don't care to have the public know
about their plans. Both are poll
ticians: always have been and always
win be. Dick is-not wealthy, though
he has accumulated come money since
he entered the senate. Kean Ia a very
rich man. They are both returning
20 their respective states. Both hope
to come back some day.
