Spirit of Washington.

Robert N. Harper; chairman Of the
inaugural committee by appointment of
President Wilson at the recommended
tion of Vance Mccormick. chairman of
the democratic national committee has
received much commendation for the
efficient manner in which the vast vol
ume of inaugural work has been han
died. Many high officials of the gov

tional committee and previous inaugu-

work entailed, have complimented Mr.
Harper on the way he has swung his
Job"
At the last meeting of the inaugural
committee Mr.. Harper gave credit to
the committee as whole. and to the
chairmen of subcommittees in par
ticular, for the prompt and tireless as
sistance they had given, seconding his
efforts.
a feature of the way the work was
handled this year was that practically
all of it was done from the headquar-
terS in the gridron room of the New
Willard Hotel rather than from COM
mtttee headquarters, scattered here and
there. Brig. Gen. Carroll A. Devol,
adjutant general of the parade. who
had direct charge of the military di-
vision, had headquarters in room 223.
the War Department. All other in
augural committee work was directed
from chairman Harper s desk III the
gridiron room headquarters. His ex-
perience four years ago in organizing
the civic section of the parade gave
Mr.. Harper valuable experience for his
work this year as inaugural chairman
In diSpatching the great volume of
correspondence and Office detail, Chair
man Harper had the assistance as sec
retary of Alvin G. Belt, a prominent
Washington real estate dealer. Since
December IS both Mr.. Harper and Mr..
IA lrner of
time to inaugural work, and for the
last month they have been working
from fourteen to twenty hours a day
to keep even with the details. To close
up the inaugural work and prepare
the reports they expect to remain on

DUCKWORTH CLUB PAYS
VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE
Famous Cincinnati Democratic Or
ganization Received at Execu-
tive Mansion.

Political organizations that came here
for the inaugural parade are serenad-
ing and besieging the White House.
The white-silk- -hatted Duckworth Club
of Cincinnati. Ohio, visited the execu-
tive mansion yesterday through ar
rangements made by Secretary Tumulty,
who has made big hit with the Duck
worth members. Mr.. Tumulty extended
TINS courtesy in recognition of the fact
mat ONO gave Wilson plurality OF
10000 last November
AS they marched back to their head
quarters in the Harrington Hotel this
organization attracted much attention.
The Duckworth Club was organized
in 1850. 1t has a membership of coo
and was represented in the inaugural
parade by 200 marchers. Twenty-fouf
years ago the club was here and
marched in the Cleveland parade, fact
recalled yesterday by Joe Rice, perma
nent toastmaster of the organization
I'VE came here to express the exulta-
tion of Ohio in the magnificent ma
1ority given to the President said
John Weld Peck, who declared that the
club will come back to Washington to
march again in 1921. Without the
vote of Ohio, Mr.. Peck said. Woodrow
Wilson would not be President today.
Tom Noctor, president of the club
and his fellow members are hopeful of
a condition in Cincinnati which will
not require heroiSm to be democrat.
Meanwhile they are encouraged, Mr..
Noctor said, by the splendid democratic
showing of the rest of the state.
Secretary Tumulty also received for
the President a handsome engraving of
Woodrow Wilson as central figure,
surrounded by Washington, Jefferson,
Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin,
Lincoln, Grant, Lee and other national
heroes. This was the gift of the Ned
Harrigan Club of New York, one of the
organizations in the Tammany Hall
contingent. 1t was presented by As
sem mblyman Hammill.

Huge Volume of Mail.

That the public may appreciate how
much clerical work there is to the
business of arranging for an Inaugural
ton. it can be stated that at least
100. 900 letters have been sent out, and
twice as many post cards. A quart
bottle of ink was used up in one day
signing letters. In spite of careful re-
ports in the daily papers regarding
such matters where seats in the
observation stands could be secured,
two telephones at inaugural headquar-
ters have been kept busy answering
such inquiries.
Charles w. Darr, one of the three
vice charmen of the committee, has
spent much of his time at the head
quarters assisting Chairman Harper

visitors. The two civil Commissioners
