Presidential dignity would be rufled II
he submitted to the fun that might be
poked at him. He was irritated by a
/ burlesuue of his Hawaiian policy put
/ on early in his second term, and was
highly incensed at a later skit on the
reported reconciliation between him
self and Senator David B. Hill. The
correspondent who made up as Presi-
dent in this sketch, picture OF the
final scene of which had appeared in a
Washington newspaper, was boycotted
by Mr.. Cleveland for the remainder OF
his administration.
Thomas B. Reed was one Of the most
frequent guests of the club. He was
thoroughly at home on such occasions.
The quick, mordant wit which had
made him so many enemies had full
play at the Gridiron board, and he
could always take thrust as well as
give one. 1t is unfortunate that only
fading tradition now preserves the
memory OF his speeches. Mr.. Dunn re-
calls one Characteristic saying OF
Reeds. II was in the winter OF 1895,
when he was a hopeful candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomina-
ton. As he himself told the story,
fervent admirer met MIN in one Of the
corridors of the Capitol. grasped his
hand and exclaimed
"Mr. Reed, you are the man Of
the hour: you are the man the Re
publicans should choose; the coun-
try needs a man Of your ability,
firmness and integrity; you should
receive the nomination"
Gazing down at his admirer, Reed
drawled:
"The convention could do worse
and probably will"
The Chinese Minister, Mr.. WI. one OF
the cleverest men who ever spoke at
public dinners in this country, once hit
off Reeds chief failing as a leader in
Washington. He said: 81 am told that
your great Speaker is Republican. In
our country he would be pronounced
monarchist and a supporter Of the
Manchu dynasty"
President McKinley's relations with
the club were extremely amicable. He
attended dinners occasionally, but did
not stay long. lie did not figure much
in the club skits Senator Hanna, who
was constant and highly popular
guest, was better target for jests
at the expense of the administration,
and no one enjoyed them more than he
did. About the only story in which
Mckinley figures in Mr.. Dunn's book
was told by the late Thomas II. Carter,
Of Montana. He said that he, McKin-
ley, and "Uncle Joe" Cannon had met
at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago
shortly after the election Of 1890. All
had been defeated for reelection to
the House of Representatives Carter
explained his defeat, and said that he
was really glad to get out of Congress.
Mckinley said that he had had to run
In q gerrymandered district, with
normal Democratic plurality of 1900
against him; he had been beaten by
only 200 votes, and ION the whole, was
really glad that it happened that way"
"Thst is what | am saying to every
one" broke in "Uncle joe; "byt, boys,
don't let's lie 10 one another"
Colonel Roosevelt occupies larger
space in the records of the club than
any other public man. He took a great

! interest in It's activities, and saw IN
them after he became President an
opportunity to give publicity to his
views on many subjects. He won the
regard Of the members on his first APP
pearance as a guest away back in 1890,
when he was a Civil Service Commits
sioner. In response TO some intro
ductory banter, he remarked: Il am
reminded of Mr.. CampbelPs attack on
me in the New York Legislature, when
l introduced a certain bill. He charged
that occupied quasi position, where
upon Colonel Michael c. Murphy walked
over, touched him on the shoulder and
said: How dare we quote Latin on the
fure av this House, when ye don't know
the Alpha and Omega Of the Ian
gusgeT"
Whenever Colonel Roosevelt was
present something striking could be
expected. He never lodged a chal-
lenge. In March, 1898, war with Spain
over Cuba was in eyerybody's mind.
Senator Hama had made a speech dep
recating the idea OF war. Colonel
Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy, rose to the occasion. 1--WE
will have this war for the freedom Of
Cuba, Senator Hanna, in spite of the
commercial interests" he said emphati-
cally. II was true prophecy.
After Colonel Roosevelt became Pres
ident he dominated the dinners. He
was the target for most of the bur-
lesque, and had his say at length after
ward. Some of the fun left sting,
and some Of the verbal encounters be-
tween the President and his critics
have become historic. The Gridiron
rule Of non-publicity wac broken when
the famous tilt with Senator Foraker
over the Brownsville case occurred.
THE Washington Post" gave the de-
tails 20 the world the next day. and
Mr.. Dunn limits himself to reprinting
THE Posts" story.
This violation Of confidence checked
for time the spontaneity Of the din
hers and led to a curbing of the
license allowed to the fun makers. The
dinners are not so full Of suppressed
excitement nowadays. According to
Dir. Dunn, Colonel Roosevelt took Of
AtHNN AZ stHtldl VI the shlls III WuiNu
his pet ideas were satirized. But that
was not the real reason why he an
nounced in 1909 that he would not
attend another Gridron dinner. "Wash-
ington is no place for ex-Presidents,'
was the ColonePs own explanation.
While he was President, Mr. Taft
attended most of the clubs dinners.
But he was much less a newspaper
mems President than Colonel Roose-
welt was. The burlesoues on his ad-
ministration and policies were milder
in their nature. The Colonel was in
Africa, or in Oyster Bay, but his per-
sonality and purposes still dominated
more or less in Washington.
President Wilson has not taken to
the Gridiron style of funmaking
