WASHINGTON, Dec. "A Vice
President, six senators and forty.
one representatives who took then
places at the opening of the final
session of congress are lame ducks
a term applied to public officials
who hold Office after defeat in ar
election. They will continue in Of
flee until the new congress elected
in November with Herbert Hoover
comes into power next March.
ice-President Dawes will hand
over his senate office next March
to Senator Charles G. Curtis, the
Vice Presidential
All six of the senators are Demo-
Gratis:
Thomas F. Bayard, member of
an historic Delaware family.
William Cabell Bruce, ardent
leader of the vets from Maryland.
Edward I. Edwards, another wet
leader from New Jersey.
Peter G. Gerry of the Rhode
Island Gerrys, a millionaire and
social leader, friend of Governor
Alfred E. Smith and a philan-
tEropiSt.
Earle r. Mayfield of Texas, the
only one of the Democratic liant
ducks" who failed to receive his
party's denomination for his post
M. M. Nicely of West Virginia
Sartorial leader of Che younger SEN
atorS who started the congressional
vogue of green necktieS.
Every Republican senator who was
up for reelection was reelected
and Republican seats left vacant
by deaths were filled with Repub-
licanS.
Two other senators who will not
come back after March 4, but who
are not pedigreed lame ducks be-
cause they did not run for re-elec-
ton, are Senators James A. Reed,
Democrat of Missouri, one Of the
most famed orators of the congress,
and George P. Mclean, Republican
of Connecticut, a former banker
and expert on financial Legislation.
Lame ducks" according to the
strange slang parlance of congress.
are expected to sing swan songs.
The song of Reed is being awaited
with the expectation, which met
that of John Sharpe Williams of
Mississippi, who told the senate OH
his retirement he preferred to be-
"a dog baying at the noon than a
United States senator.
Many famous figures have been
removed from the roster of the
house by death, retirement or de-
feat. Victor Berger of Milwaukee,
who had the distinction of being
the only socialist member of the
present congress, was defeated for
reelection. The retirement list ir-
cludes John Garrett of Tennessee,
the Democratic floor leader BIan-
ton, the stormy petrol from Texas;
Thomas Connolly of Texas, who now
is to come to the senate; Theodore
Burton of Ohio, now a senator
elect, and Begg and Davy of Ohio

BOSTON, October l3-Herbert Hoov-
pr has been asked by the Carded Woolen
Manufacturers Association to state his
position on the wool tariff question in
connection with his visit to New Eng

on the tariff.
In letter. signed by Edward Noir.
president of the association. and made
public here today the Republican
presidential nominee was informed that
81 per cent of the woolen and worsted
manufacturing industries was located in
New England.
For 81 years" the letter said. every
tariff that placed a duty on wool for
clothing has made the duty a fixed
amount per pound regardless of value
AS A result the tariff tax on wool has
varied from a reasonable percentage Of
the value Of high priced wool to an in
defensible tax on several hundred per
cent OF the value of medium and low
priced wools."

The letter concluded by asking Mr..
Hoover to state his position ION the

as you possess to secure the enactment

Reason for Websters
Preference for Blue

Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth
college in a homespun suit, Of which
probably every thread was carded
spun and woven by his mothers hands
from the wool Of their own sheep
II was a dyed-in-the-wOol suit and thu
color was indigo blue.
In the South butternUt was used,
but though the Yankee danes knew
all about the uses of butternut bark,
and the slate color that lay in the
sumach berries and bark Of white
maple, and were not unacquainted
with the various dyes that could be
made to yield through the agency Of
yiriol and alum and copperas to
"set" them fast, the universal stand
by in New England was the dye pot,
par excellence, that stood in the Chin
ney corner of every kitchen in that
region
So Webster was fitted out in indigo
blue from collar to ankle. Before
reaching Hanover there came on a
drenching rain. The suit held its own,
but It parted with enough dye to tinge
Daniel blue from head to foot.
Webster had a liberal stratum Of
sentiment in his mental makeup, and
for some reason the color Of his young
manhood remained his faYorite wear
through life. He wore blue coats to
his dying day. If any one ever saw
him in one Of a different color the
fact has not been made of record.
