Men IN the Public Eye.

Just why the plain people in the popu-
lous counties OF Union and Morris in Jer-
sey should be agitated because the tried
and trusted Tuttle. member OF Con-
| gress. lives at the aristoeratic Cosmos
Club. passes the understanding here in
Washington. Other members, Repub-
licans and Democrats. live at high-cIass
clubs and incur no criticism. The noise
less tread OF the foxy salesman from
the salt licks of Syracuse. the Hon. Luz
ther Mott, is upon the costly rugs Of the
Army and Navy. along with the more
rapid tread of the Hon. James Francis
Burke, Of Pittsburgh, who declined
sixth term in Congress this year.
The hesitation step Of the cautious and
discerning Jefferson Levy, of New York.
is also upon the Army and Navy thresh-
old each evening Of his presence In
Washington. and he proudly announces
how much more faithfully he attends 10
1 Congressional duties that other Tam
many members
| Winfield Scott Hammond. who has just
been nominated for governor by the
Democratic Gophers OF Minnesota, counts
scholastic shades of the University Club
his abiding place. while in WASHINGTON,
mond has been unusually faithful in at
tendance Others Of Congressional emil
nence at the Army and Navy are Sena-
tor OGorman, OF New York; the bound
/ ing Lafrerty, of Oregon; Calder, of
Brooklyn, the lone Republican member
/ from New York City; Fitzgerald. the
chairman of Appropriations: O'Shaun-
essy. OF Rhode Island, and Ragsdale, of
South Carolina
| Possibly the vord C,osr,o. L, ,,-Los -
tates the Tuttle constituents, as he is the
only member Of House OF Senate who has
CHOSEN the classic precincts Of the old
Dolly Madison home as a Washington
abiding place. Once the even-tempered
] Tuttle tells Of Dolly Madison and her
distinguished Democratic husband the
Jersey constituents will cease remark
and hope for inspiration from surround
/ ings that will make the Westfield lum-
Der merchant achieve some slight meas
ure Of the Madison reach in public af-
fairs
II is remarked by Senators from other
States that for a new member appointed
to serve a limited time. the Hon. johnson
y. Camden is taking hold in a remark
ably business-like way and with an office
stan exceeding that OF veteran Senators
with full terms ahead This comment
followed announcemnt in print that the
alert young statesman had appointed
Mrs. Elizabeth Post. Of Lexington. and
Mrs Helen Starr, OF Newport. as steno-
graphers in addition to the two voters
and watchful political sdjuTants who
came on a secretaries. This soft-pedal
process Of keeping in touch with every
thing political in Kentucky cannot but
Indicate the future ambition Of the long
headed Camden, who will be young
enough a dozen years later TO complete
a Senatorial career suddenly begun and,
as other aspirants hope TO end Marcn
4, next There are signs that whatever
happens in November the Camden group
will continue in the Kentucky Democratic
organization and those who know the
resolute temper Of the man and his soft
way Of achieving good results in times
Of stress, give warning TO those who 60
up against the game. The West Virginia
Democrats also Republicans OF that State
recall the fighting methods Of the elder
Camden and incline TO credit the younger
Camden with a more diplomatic ard
softer handed way OF doing things than
the iron-handed father, so that the suS-
Eestion is kindly given that Kentucky
Democrats have a new factor in their
State organization and who must be
reckoned with for many years to come.
