AFTER the elections

after the elections"
That Is what one hears on all
sides these days In Washington So
-ciety. Everyone seems to be making
their plans around that date which,
by the way. is scarcely ten days
OF. Society's social functions are
dependent upon official society and
official society win not even think
of social plans until after the cleo
tions- The majority Of the official
get will not even come to Wash
ington to open their residences un-
til they have voted. as they don't
want to take the trip back home
just to vote. In the olden days the
wives of officials usually came on
ahead to get their houses in readi-
ness for the season while the men
waited behind at their homes for
election day. But not so now; the
wives remain behind to vote too
Those who have come back to the
Capital are planning to go home
again to vote or else will do 1t by
mail The President and Mrs. Will
son will vote that way.
-sALL CABINET WOMEN PLAN
Ito CAST VOTES IN ELECTION.
- All of the Cabinet women, with
the exception OF Mrs. A s. Burle-
SON, are planning to vote. Mrs
-Burleson just forgot all about reg
: fstering but thoroughly approves OF
women voting-always has ap-
proved. I guess the Cabinet women
=. will be delighted when the elections
-Nre over so that their wandering
husbands will stay home for a
= ". s. A campaigning for Cox The
rCabinet women are all back in
Washington after their summer va
cations, with the exception of Mrs
Daniels, who was here for a while
~eut went down to North Carolina
TO make a number of campaign
species. Mrs. Meredith, too, Is
away but just for a week or so
!. She accompanied her husband and
son, E. T. jr, out to Chicago yes
terday.
- Though Washington residents
aren't allowed to vote here, a large
percentage OF the city's citizens
government clerks, officials and
asome just plain citizens-have ar
official residence some place else and
can vote there; so there is a keen
interest in the elections in the Capt.
tai. All sorts of parties are being
planned for election night particu'
larly at the downtown hot als anC
cafes where much fun can be had
while the returns are coming in
The Cafe St. Marks, for one, ha:
leased a private wire so that TIE
complete election returns can bc
given right there in the beautiful
Italian garden for their guests, be-
ginning at $3.50 p. m.
SOCIETY HERE DETERMINED
BY RESULTS OF ELECTIONS
After the election Washington So
-ciety will know whom of its mem.
bers they will have to part with
and what new members they will
have to welcome into their midst
for a large share of Washington
society is made-or marred-by the
election returns of the other por'
tions Of the country. All OF the
oficial society Is determined by the
election returns, either directly oil
Indirectly, and, of course, the resi-
dent society is somewhat affected
by them too.
Many new men are sure to sit in
the next Congress and November
will see a long list of missing among
the old guard. Veteran members OF
both houses, meny of them chair
man of important committees, will
be among the missing in the new
Congress to convene in December
Some of them have had enough OF
the grind while others were beaten
i'm the primaries. But many of their
successors are old friends who will
just return to US once more.
MANY OLD FRIENDS SURE
TO RETURN TO HOMES HERE.
For example, Warren G. Harding
will be among those missing from
the Senate but his successor may be
Frank B. Willis, who lived in Wash
ington a number of years ago when
he was in the House. Another pos
'sible case is that Of Senator Law
renee Y. Sherman. of Illinois, who is
retiring of his own accord and he
may be succeeded by William B. Nc
KiIey. a member of the House
Gore. the blind Senator from Okla
hOma, is due to go as he lost his
nomination to Representative Scott
Ferris, whose rival for the Senate is
Representative John w. Herald; so,
no matter which wins, the new SEN
ator will be an old resident Of Wash
ingtOn. Senator Kirby, of Arkan-
sas. was beaten by Representative
sThaddeus Caraway in the primaries
so in that instance We will probably
i'- me friend only to keep another
with US
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, and
Senator Johnson, of South Dakota,
both Democrats, withdrew. Senator
GrOnna, of North Dakota, was de-
feated for a denomination. Repre-
sentative James Thomas Hefiin, of
Alabama, who has been 4 member
of the House for sixteen years, has
been nominated for the Senate,
equivalent to election, to fll the
vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Bankhead.
Representative Thetus W. Sims,
Of Tennessee, who is ending his
twenty-fourth year, was defeated
in the primaries, as were also KEEP
resentative John J. Esch and Rep
resentative John H. Small and KEEP
