WAsH1NGToN-Lame ducks may
limp, but they'll live longer.
This is the consolation held out
10 senators defeated in the last cleo
ton by John w. Harreld 81 Okianoma,
one of that rather imposing group
of II republicans whose senate tenure
ends for a few years at least with
the windup of the present short
session in March
The nation may kill it's presidents
with overwork, but it is not pl-
more considerate of it's senator's
according to Senator Harreld, who
has been political freak by virtue
of being the first republican elected
by Oklahoma to the upper house
within the oldest inhabitants mem-
ory.
"In some respects, it's worse on
a senator than on president" said
Harreld. "a senator's office door
must be open every hour of the day.
He must see virtually everyone who
wants to see him. The president Is
protected from this indiscriminate
visiting list
why so many senators die, in Har-
reld's opinion He cites Cummins OF
Iowa and the elder La Toilette as
examples.
senator Harreld takes his defeat
philosophically and hopes the resi-
of the lame ducks will feel the
same way. The others, lamed by
primaries or the election, are Senator's
Lenroot, Mckinley, Pepper, Stanfield'
Butler Wadsworth, Weller, Cameron
Williams and Ernst. Some of them
are thought to be rather crest
fallen, but

over it," Harreld concluded en-
phatically.

smiling face, a genial personality
a firm believer in the philosophy
that everything is worth while.
Likewise he is a disciple of an
other western philosophy which
is so generally known that repe-
tition of it is unnecessary.
He also has the westerner's
admiration and respect for women.
Out in Bisbee they haven't many
women, and the few they have
are either married or about to
be. SO when he goes to Denver
or Phoenix or Salt I2ke City he
has many kind things to say
about the fair sex.
And when he comes to Chicago
