Uncle Joe's Hug
Is Latest Thing
on Capitol Hill

The newest thing in national politics
hit the National Capital yesterday with
a swish.
1t was the Uncle joe Cannon hug.
Different from the lame duck waddle. the
grizzly hand grip of the Californians,
and w-dee-doo-dee-doo of the Nebras-
kan statesmen, this new idea OF polit-
ical greeting was the subject OF much
comment.
Various statesmen had 1t tried upon
them, and stamped it with their ap-
proval. 1t was patented and invented by
Uncle Joe" and thus far no budding
statesman has tried TO infringe on Uncle
Joe's patent rights.
Uncle Joe" has adopted a brand-new
method of greeting his friends since his
return for this session. probably his last
In Congress, after some forty years of
service.
The method is to throw both arms
around the person to be greeted. gently
pat him on the back with both hands
about three times. rub your side face
against his, and then whisper something
in his ear. The only part OF the formula
missing is the words to he whispered.
Thus far Uncle joe has refused to
disclose these.
