PLANS TO GREET
S0LDIER-SOL0N
Representative-elect King
Swope, First Returned
Member of A. E. F.

Oflcial Washington anxiously awaits
the arrival tomorrow Of King Swopc,
Of Kentucky. the newly elected Con-
gressman. who is the first returned
soldier to be sent to the House.
Swope is a Republican. the second
TO represent his district; that is just
one reason why everyone is eager to
take a look at him.
The story OF his campaign is daz-
zling. one that makes the Republicans
shout for glee and has the opposite
effect. OF course. on the Democrats.
who were so certain of his district.
So many contradictory stories have
been told that correspondents are
lined up to find which is true. One
rumor had it that the soldier Repre-
sentative bitterly attacked the Presi-
dent and the league of nations plan.
This is denied by Kcntuckians in
town who really know the politics of
their State.
Swope is a member OF one Of Ken
tucky's most famous old families. His
grand uncle was the late Col A. NJ.
Swope. who fought the famous duel
with Goodlow in Lexington IN the
nineties, in which both were killed.
The Representative-elect was in the
war almost from the start and had
honorable service overseas
Few other new members have ever
had the reception in store for Swope.
lie will be escorted down the aisle to

Representatives from Kentucky, in
stead Of one, as is the general rule, and
the whole Republican side will be
there to give him an ovation as he
