Election Tomorrow Will
Decide Status With
Ladies of Senate

The Ladies' of the Senate meet
tomorrow at noon in their room
at the Capitol when officers for
the next Congress will be elected,
The all.absorbing question among
the Senatorial ladies is. will Mrs.
Edward E. Gam, sister and
hostess for the Vice President
elect, Senator Curtis, fall heir 10
the mantle of Mrs. Dawes at this
meeting?
Mrs. Dawes read the constitu-
tion of the group at its meeting
last Tuesday. This provides that
the wife of an active member OF
the Senate must be chosen to be
president of the Ladies of the
Senate should the Vice President
OF the United States not have
wife.
This would appear to eliminate
Mrs. Gam. But she has many
warm supporters especially among
the wives of Western Senators
for this office. And as "Barkis
is willin' .. according to report,
the odds are about even that she
will come in first in the contest.
However, before Mrs Gann's
name can be entered it will be
necessary to amend the constltu-
tion making her eligible for of
flee. This encourages those who
wish to see the offices of the
club confined to wives of the
Senate. Only the latter are al
lowed to vote-so If Mrs. Gam
wins she will have to depend on
these.
