WASHINGTON. Jan. lit looks
like a bad Tour years for the "roy.
atty" at the white house.
Regal hammered servants and
flunkies who have lorded II to their
supreme delight for many years Al
the white house are likely to find
j. necessary to drop their royal
mien when President-clect Harding
iakes up his abode in the Pennsyi-
vania mansion.
Next to an outcast duke "A white
house servant is quite the mos,
regal person In the United States
The Hardings are about as demo-
cratic people as there are in the
lnitcd StateA
Either the hardinss or the white
house royalty" must change their
ways, and the odds are in favor of
the iIardings remaining democratic.
The white house gates are going
TO be open for the next four years
Mrs. Harding promises It,
The white house Is going TO be
social center again, and the Hard
ings are going to entertain their
friends. The stately old mansion Is
going to have new visitors in the
next administration.
Harry NJ. Daugherty Will probably
he one OF the mos, frequent visitors,
and he Is not likely to tolerate the
royal Difference of the white house
servants which has been paid Col
onel House and Bernard Baruch.
Instead Daugherty. who is Colum-
bus. Ohio lawyer. of bluff good
naturcd manners, will stalk into the
white house with as LITTLE ceremony
rs he has stalked into the Marion
home OF the Hardings for the last
twenty years. Daugheriy will prob
ably be cabinet member, but this
won't change his manner or unas-
suming good nature.
If Harry Daugherty Is frequent
white house visitor IL is safe bet
that Jess w. Smith, of Washington
Courthouse. Ohio. will also be ire.
quent visitor at the presidential
mansion. wherever Daugherty is
there is Smith and Jess Is already
pretty close to the president-cect
and considered part of the fam
lily.
Mr.. and Mrs Edward Beale Nc
Lean. social leaders of Washington
are close. friends OF the Hardings
and they will be frequent gueits al

made reels and reels OF pictures OF
the prcsident-elect, will propapiy
take over the management OF many
of the white house motion picture
shows.
The president usually has n phy-

cal corps. DR.. G. T.. sawyer ~ the
Harding family physician. adviser

probably cotNdnt be made an
admiral or a ajor general, but Dr.
and Mrs. Sawyer are certain 10
spend a good bit of Their .:me ABOUT
the white house.
Senator Lodge and sorie other
republican leaders will probably DC
frequent visitors at the white mouse
for business reasons, but me sen
ators who will side In the white
house in the evening on pleasure
bent will probably be Senator fred
HALE of Maine: Senator frelinghuy-
sen Of New Jersey, ana senator

These men have long been play,
mates of the presiden;-elect ana
they know how 10 make a priose
