political preferment will be replaced BY
practically new circle the reach
ing differences in political creed and
viewpoint being reflected In the chang
Ing personnel of the official citizenship.
The president-elect and Mrs Wilson
and the vice president elect and Mrs.
Marshall and their kinsfolk hail from
the conservative old Presbyterian ele-
ment.
Neither the presidential nor the vice
presidential family has heretofore in
its several ramifications gone in"
strongly for society, per Sc, and it is
not regarded as likely that the advent
in high political position at Washing

lifetime or the heritage OF genera
tons.

the larger affairs of the life of the day.

tue of their affiliation with the white
