u. S. Senators Human Beings After All

IT NITED States senators-memberS
- of the "most august Legislative
Dody" in the world-as a rule take
themselves mighty seriously. Yet they
have been given nicknames, just like
small boys, prize fighters and ball
players. The Washington newspaper
correspondents are responsible for
most of these nicknames. It's easier
you see, to say "Qulnce" than to say
Josiah Quintus Bobb of Massylva-
MIA" Also. these correspondents in
the senate press gallery have learned
that senators are only human beings
after all. Some of these nicknames
are rather clever; others are decided
ly forced. For example, the two lead
ers In the treaty fight Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, and senator Lodge
Jf Massachusetts, both have their
nlcknames. Senator Hitchcock Is reg
ilarly alluded TO rs "Hltchy-KOO,"
while the "CabOt" in his opponents
name has resulted In Cabbage"
The identity of some of the senators
bearing picturesque sobriquets may
not be revealed, for obvious reasons.
For instance, 1t would be impossible
to tell the name of the senator who
is called "Polonius." because OF his
heavy style and podgy wit. Nor would
II be wise to disclose the name of the
senator who is termed Sweetheart"
on account of his dapper manner.
