Senatorial Names Among Missing
In New Issue Of Social Register
t'Young Bob" La Toilette,
Who Has Figured for
Years in This Volume,
Now "Out"

4 IL NSe4 ~ @AA AAA0 -
| Now "Out"
! On looking into the Wash
ington Social Register for
1929 one finds among those
missing the name of Sena-
tor Robert M. LaFollette,
of Wisconsin. This is the
( first time that "Young
Bob" has been absent since
he was a kid of II. For
at that age the boys of a
family listed in the Social
Register are eligible for
entrance as Juniors along
with their parents.
Solid Senate
All Senators have been re-
rarded by the Social Register
authorities as worthy of men
tion in their book for the aid
| of those who would know who's
who. And. the late Senator
La Toilette was in the Senate
when his son, who succeeded to
his toga. was learning how to
walk. Hence he was listed IN
the Washington Social Regis
/. ter throughout his period OF
Senatorial service.
On Request?
Young Bob has also been given
nlace in society's directory
every year that he has been
senator until the issue of the
nresent volume. But this time
he IS left out. So one surmises
that the commission must be At
his request. For he has not
been any more irregular" than
usual and I'm accord with his
political inheritance. In fact ne
was rather a star last summer
even with the conservatives at
tending the Republican Conyen-
tion in Kansas City.
be q great hindrance to a public
career. So it is possible that
Young Bob has asked not to be
present in print with fortunes
favorites.
J One also wonders if the same
reason for the withdrawal or
Senator La Foilette's name from
the Social Register would also
explain the absence from the
sacred records of the names of
Senator Joseph e. Ransdell of
Louisiana. Senator NJ. M. Neely
of West Virginia, and Senator
Henry r.. Ashurst of Arizona.
All Of the other Senators are in
their proper alphabetical places
In the Register.
The names of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanley IL .Bucky'l Harris are not
IN the 1929 Register, although
having been In the annual pub
iications ever since their marriage
q few wears ago. It seems quite
probable that "Bucky" has asked
that his name be omitted. For
social recognition has perhaps
been more harmful than helpful
to his baseball career. And to
have something down in black
and white that could be used
against him by the supporters OF
democracy at all costs might not
be SO valuable. At any rate
"Bucky'' is out of the Washington
Social Register-although he is
etill making his home here.
Another item of interest In the
new Issue of the Register is the
statement that Mrs. Felicia Gizy.
cka Pearson is now Mrs. Feiicls
Cizycka.
irhe Social Registers notation
is Pearson. Mrs. Felicia G.
Felicia Gizycka) name changed
to Gizycka."
There are several newcomers in
the Register and oldtimers who
have lost out--and still others,
who stayed In for only a brief Pc
riod.
