CITY EXPECTS
MORE GAYETY
Society Foresees End Of
Drab Days Of Wilson Re-
gime at White House.

with the Republican victory on
Tuesday, Washington society is pre-
pairing for the social upheaval that
inevitably will follow the 4th Of
March.
An entirely new set of Cabinet
women will step into the social
limellght, the majority Of them GER
tain to be more or less strangers to
Washington. While Mrs. Harding
can hardly be classed as a stranger
the role in which she will appear
will be a new one-that of the First
Lady OF the Land. That she will
wear her new dignity gracefully is
accepted. but society is wondering,
and hoping, II her rule will mean a
gayer Capital with the White House
as the center of the gayety.
White House dinners and recep-
tiOns have always been big events
in the life of the city, but during the
Wilson regime their number was
gradually decreased until during the
past year they have practically been
abandoned. Mrs. Harding has made
no attempt during her stay in Wash
ington to figure as a social leader,
but she is known as gracious
hostess and it is hoped she will re-
sumo the pleasant custom OF open
ing the doors Of the White House
TO society.
There are usually three big White
q
the Cabinet, the Diplomatic Corps
and the Supreme Court Then there
are the five big receptions-again to
the Cabinet, the Diplomatic Corps,
the members of Congress and the
army and navy.
Women known Here.
Concerning the Cabinet women.
society is less anxious. the wives
of the various members Of the Cab
met now passing out having been
notable hOstesses-some of them
and their successors will probably
follow in their footsteps.
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge comes to
Washington practically a stranger.
concerning whom society knows lit

Grace GOodhue, of Burlington, VT.
and IS reported to be unusually
charming and gracious. The Coo
lidges have two sons. John B, born
September. 1906. and Calvin. jr.. born
April. 1908. The boys are musical
and their mother is said to be an
accomplished musician herself.
As the wife of the Vice President.
Mrs. Coolidge can take a very def
mite place in the social life of the
Capital. and those who know her
believe that she is thoroughly
equipped to take the position that
is hers. She is said to be very
fond Of society. though not a So
Ciety leader in the usual sense.

TN HE $~i5,000000 campaign fund which the democratic presidential
candidate charged on Monday had been raic1 to purchase
the election for the republican party, had shrunk to u trifle
more than $4,000 600 in the expose which Cox made in Pittsburgh
Thursday. In that expose Cox produced nothing in the way of
proof that even the latter sum had been raised. or that any money
had been raised for use in other than legitimate activities. He has
promised to tell more of his inside information about republican
campaign funds-next week.
Cox said yesterday in a speech that he is a graduate of the
school Of hard knocks lie should be given n post graduate course
without delay.

up prejudice. We are becoming fed up on the dope of the fake re-

fifth graders of the business of politics, or from their hired hands.
but il is aidisag=eeahle shock to have an exhibition Of the kind from
the presidential candidate Of n great political party.
Perhaps Cox should not be classed with the cheap fakirs. Per-
haps he has the information he claims to have. As a mt:ter Of fact
his charges have placed Cox o trial before the whole country, not
before the senate committee on campaign expenditures. Either he
is telling the truth or he is attempting to deceive the nation. He
should be forced to produce his evidence in definite, convincing form
lie should be made TO discard the gauzy generalities Of the stump and
10 divulge the sources Of his alleged information; to convince the
country that such information as he has carries proof of intention TO
attempt corruption. He should be squeezed until he comes through
with the goods-in case he has the goods.
II he fails to produce this kind of proof of his charges Cox will
be convicted Of deliberately attempting TO deceive the people and
sentence win be pronounced on him swiftly and finally.
In view of the situation in which Cox finds himself it is not ia
he wondered at that Senator Harding sits complacently in his modest
home at Marion and refuses any comment on the charges which his
millionaire opponent shouts from platform after platform; to a po
pie patiently waiting to hear what he proposes to do for the nation
if entrusted with the executive office.

politician raised by accident to the leadership of a great party; a jof

defeated.
1.-THE New Mexican has opposed, opposes and will oppose
the nomination and election Of Larrasolo.
Under no circumstances viii this paper support Mr.. Lar
fasolo for governor"
Now the above statements struck us as in curious contrast with
the present position in which the editor OF the New Mexican finds
himself. He is at present SUPPORTING Mr.. Larragolo for governor.
He finds that the republican state convention will make q serious
mistake il it does NOT nominate Larrazolo. Undoubtedly such things
as CIRCUMSTANCES still exist in this connectnn-and yet, and
yet, dear reader, we find the editor Of the New Mexican and his
refined vehicle supporting Mr. Larrazolo with an irritable fervency
that might suggest to the careful observer an editorial stomach bat
Ting against a threatened upheavel.
Observe, dear reader, that it is the same Larrazolo today, yes
terday and on October !, 1918. Larry hasn't changed. He was
hunting a job then and he is hunting q job now. II is the same
job. He has done nothing in the interim but pursue the said hunt;
however wisely the record shows
Who has changed, then; and whyH
That is all we wanted to know. It is perfectly natural inquiry.
Why in thunder it should bring down upon us this avalanche Of
wrath from Colonel Cuttings little pet we fail to understand.
Unless, folks, it may be that our gifted political tumbers, the
editor of Colonel Cutting toy and Mr.. Magee, have found that their
associates, Larry and Hubben, are cumming up the act.

SOMETHING has seriously stirred The editor of the Santa Fe New
Mexican, one of our leading reformers Of the Magce type. He
devotes a large part of two pages of a recent issue to a rcpeti.
ton of all OF the real hard names which Governor Larrazolo called
The Herald on the occasion of the governors recent visit TO Ai,u'
querque in the interests of his. candidacy for denomination.
Even in a newspaper supported for the amusement of an idle mil
lonaire this prodigal waste Of high priced ncwsprint is surprising.
What is the cause Of this outburstf
Here 81 is gentle reader:
This month the New Mexican is supporting Governor Iarrazoio
for denomination. During the anne period Mr.. Magees Morning
Journal has been indulgng in the same playful pastime of kidding
the voters. Seeing that Mr.. Magee was having rather rough going
in his effort 10 pmt over the Larrazolo- Hubbell slate in Bernalllo
county, the editor Of the New Mexican rushed to the rescue with an
elaborate defense Of Larrazolo, Hubbell and their respective political
records. We were given to understand that to the refined moral
sense of the editor Of the New Mexican these two patriots were the
acme OF civic reetitude and desirable models Of political conduct for
our youth. This, Of course. was for reproduction in Mr.. Magee'
somewhat nustered editorial columns.
Merely for the sake Of the record it became necessary for The
Herald TO point out that the editor Of the New Mexican had INDUCED
in a somewhat violent revision Of his attitude toward Governor Lar
raxoic within q period Of twenty months, and to inquire the reason
therefor.
We haven't obtained the reason as yet. We are still curious.

INSTRUMENTATION ON DRAINAGE.

A CURIOUS incident occurred in the republican county conven-
~ ton Thursday which may throw some light on the reasons for
= : the slow progress of drainage for this valley. The resolutions
committee of the convention included in the committee draft of the
document a brief approval Of drainage for the Rio Grande valley.
OPPOSITION 20 the clause developed on the floor of the convention, The
committee withdrew the plank, as being purely an economic question,
rather than engage in a convention controversy.
Some investigation of this incident by a Herald reporter led to
disclosure Of the fact that the widest misinformation obtains among
some of the valley land owners as to the cost OF draining their lands
and even as to the reasons for drainage. 1t was disclosed, also, that II
definite propaganda against drainage has been conducted in the valley
by some persons who enjoy acquaintance with and possibly the conf
dence OF some of the land owners. This propaganda has been based
upon what appears TO have been deliberate misstatement Of the facts
as to objects aud costs. q,
Have. we in this community some Influential person, persons or
interests that are deliberately seeking to hold back development Of
The yaeyf
The need for a thorough going campaign Of education about
drainage conducted by people who know what they are talking
about and who have the interest Of the valley at heart, il very plain.
Likewise there is a need Of a thorough investigation Of the persons
and purposes behind the campaign against drainage. The Chamber
Of Commerce might well take up such an investigation.
