MR. VOTER RULES
GAY WHITE WAY
Victor and Vanquished
Hand in Hand on
Broadway

Mr.. Voter came out of his she'll last
night, descended upon the hotels ant
restaurants and called in a loud voice
for lights, music and laughter. He
shouted gleefully as the returns were
! flashed in the dining rooms. He banged
on the table with all the abandon OF
youth. And he blew upon silly horn
until he was purple in the face.
He was king last night, was Mr.
Voter. Why should he not spread
largess with a willing hand? Election
comes but once in four years.
Gayer than ever was the Gay White
Way. Whittier glared the lights. From
cabaret and restaurant came the sound
Of music, laughter and the scuflie Of
syncopating feet. Outside the voter was

rejoicing and crowned for the night.
At a table in Rector's sat ford man
and thin, pretty girl.
"Say," said the girl. looking down
into her wine glass, at was the women
that decided this election"
The ford man frowned slightly.
"Woman's place is in tn home. mdear''
said he. Man is the protector. He
must shield his women folks. Hum
drink up, m'dear."

At Murray's very fat man was
having the time of ms life. Everything
in the world was funny. Good ole

uncomfortable laughter.
