Not only will General du Pont, as
Senator from Delaware, be present at
the sessions of the Senate, but he is
apt to. be very much on the job," as
they say in the national capital. It
will not be least surprising if he is
very promptly put on some of the
leading committees.

for Harding and Coolidge.

Gently, and 1 called the general on the
telephone in New York and asked if
he could accompany me.
Instantly he replied in the atfirma-
tive. When we got to Chicago togeth-
er, found the general already had
reserved rooms at a leading hotel"
The general has a deep and lasting
friendship for Hays. Oddly enough
Hays is about as small as the general
is big. Hays also is boyish, but full of
pep" He has the brand of pep" the
general likes. Probably that is why
they are extremely "chummy."
AS Postmaster General and a mem
Der of President Harding's cabinet al |
so the presidents political advisor,
Hays will ableito do much for Sen
ator du Pont in Washington, although |
it is altogether doubtful if he shall
have to exert himself particularly as
the general is "close" TO President
and can get pretty nearly
anything he wishes.
That Vice. President Bee
Five years ago General du Pont was
frequently mentioned as a candidate
or the vice-presidency. He was fire.

vas filmed for the movies" When
sver he was asked about the boom"
or vice-president, he merely smiled
me of his enigmatical smiles and let
t. go at that.
Last Spring year ago, the general l
vas again doomed for vice-president,
nd, it is probable, could have had the S
ominatiOn had he so wished. Instead, h
e was found among the ranks of the
coolidge boomers; supporting Hard '

Dry of last fall proved his foresight.
Although it isn't often that General
u POnt is heard upon the public ros-
'um, he is, nevertheless, a rafting
ood speaker. He goes direct to his
pint in few words, without waste of II
time and Verbiage. Brew
y in action and speech; but, by the D.
lme token, it should not be thought
lat he is abrupt or taciturn. He is M
le Of'the most congenial of men, lik-
g a good story and ever ready to tell III
well as to listen to one. NJ

A number of years ago, while rid

trolley car, he noticed that the con- N
IctOr found it almost impossible to
lip passengers on and off ana llect

Get your fares; I'll run this end

And while the conductor was busy
lging up the "jitneys" the general

One thing about the general which
impresses is his remark
lie abilities as a commander. He
Ows almost by instinct how to pick
and he knows still more

pires his aides as much through
