Dwight Whitney Morrow may not be
flirting with any 1882 presidential bee,
but from now on he ranks as a man
whose name the Republican party is
bound to file for future reference. The
man who crashed the New Jersey sena-
torial primary gate in such smashing
fashion yesterday. is young enough to
walt Tor political nature to take its
course. "Lindy's" father-in-law will be
only SO in 1896. He's type of physique
and temperament which should find
him in his prime six years hence. II
conditions should determine Herbert
Hoover to content himself with a one
term presidency, there is no bet on the

verbal. Representative Forts slender

all parts OF the United States took their
stand, even though without voice or vote
In Morrow's State. It's getting to be
case OF counting that day lost whose
low descending sun witnesses no anti
dry deed done somewhere In this more
or less arid land.
Henceforward it'll be the open sea-
son for yarns about Dwight Morrow's
observation-disclosures Charles r. Adams,
Secretary Of the Navy, one of the Jer-
seyman's London conference colleagues,
Is responsible for one OF the breeziest
OF these tales. He narrates that Nor
row called from his bathtub in London
one morning to his valet and asked for
a piece of soap that would produce

bassador's man, you could do better If
you'd remove your pajamaS."
When Representative Wallace H
White, jr, Republican, comes to the
Senate from Maine as it's now certain
that he will, therell be another radio
expert in the Upper House. That dis
tinction at present Is the monopoly of
Senator Dill, Democrat, of Washington,

tiles in the field of electrical communi-
cations. Messrs. Dill and White are CO.
authors Of the existing Federal radio
law. White now joins the galaxy Of
younger statesmen who climb to the
pinnacle from the foot Of the congress
sional ladder. Soon after graduation
from Bowdoin, 81 years ago, the victor
In the Maine senatorial primary came
to the Capital as assistant clerk to the
Senate committee on commerce. Later

credit, Mr.. White will At admirably into
