CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 10 CNA.
N.A).-"Nick" Longworth might have
become distinguished lawyer, but the
profession was to jealous a mistress for
him in his younger days in Cincinnati.
THE law Is too dry for me. I like
the game Of politics because it Is ex-
citing, uncertain and offers a field in
which there is lot of fun and fighting"
This was his reply to question asked
him when he announced he would run
for Representative in the lower branch
of the Ohio General Assembly.
I first met him when as a reporter
I was covering the school board of
Cincinnati. He was one of its most
able humor into some Of the cut and
dried meetings. The board was a
political organization controlled by
George B. Cox, Republican boss, who
then picked the candidates for city,
county and State Offices. The boss and
his cabinet" as his close followers
were called held informal conferences
for many years in a German restaurant
"Over the Rhine" and 1t was in this
eating place and saloon that Cox and
his henchmen decided to turn Bellamy
Storer, subsequently our Ambassador to
three European capitals, out Of Con-
Steered Own Political Course.
Even before he had won his spurs
in Republican politics, Mr.. Longworth
was diplomatic enough to avoid en-
tanglementS with the Cox group. He
maintained friendly relationship with
the boss and his cohorts, but steered his
own course In local politics, even when
on the. politically controlled school board
and while member Of the Ohio House
and Senate.
No business was too important to
keep Mick" Longworth from the old
Cincinnati base ball park when games
were played. And he did not always
occupy a box seat in the grandstand
have seen him more than once when
the grandstand was filled enjoying him
self in a bleacher seat, munching pea
nuts and roofing for the Reds
He was a great mixer. and made him
self one of the crowd he found himself
in. AS a Story-teller he was a big hit
all his life.
His democracy was probably inherited
from his grandfather, Nicholas Long
worth, who came, think, to Cincinnati
from New Jersey and at one time owned
the property now known as Eden Park.
The site was then a vineyard, over
looking the Ohio River This Nicholas
Longworth laid the foundation for one
Of the largest estates In Cincinnati
An aunt of the late Speaker, Marie
Longworth, whose first husband was

Cincinnati College of Music, founded

way to kill filibusters, but the harm
done is far greater. For instance, can
you imagine what would happen If
Congress stayed in session during the
out a presidential or congressional cam
paign? We would have the investi-
eating committees working overtime
I don't care what the date is for ad-
journment, whether it Is in April, May
or June. but we should FIX it by law
II feel so strongly about this that
I'm thinking of writing a speech or
an article about 1t soon"
other Legislation Discussed.
The speaker discussed other legisla-
ton and felt that on the whole the
last session had gotten through rather
we'll with its main business He thought
the political outlook was cloudy, due
to the economic situation, but he had
an abiding confidence that somehow
the Republicans would come out all
right. He talked affectionately of Rep
resentative Garner Of Texas, leader of
the Democrats and probable selection
for Speaker in the event that the
Democrats assumed control. He had
a deep respect for Mr.. Gamers par
liamentary knowledge and legislative
ability and he looked forward with
eagerness to the challenge which he
expected in the unusual situation ex-
isting in the new Congress.
After he had talked for about an hour
he again complained of fatigue He
settled himself In his chair, put his
overcoat across his shoulders and pulled
his hat over his eyes and slept. 1t was
my last glimpse of Nick Longworth,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
veteran legislator, companionable and
servant.

PRINCESS ALICE"
NOT TO SEEK POST
Friends Say Mrs. LongWorth
Is Not Likely to Emulate
Other Political Widows.

Always in the background of Wash
tngton politics, Alice Roosevelt Long
worth is expected by those who know
her well to remain in the background
now that her distinguished husband has
passed on.
Princess Alice" has given no thought
to the future under the stress of her
present sorrow, but her friends are con-
fident she will not choose to emulate
other widows Of political leaders in
seeking public Office.
She is not expected, however, to with
draw permanently from official society
here, where she has been vivacious
figure for years.
Bore Blow CourageousIy.
Mrs. Longworth bore the blow of sud-
den widowhood with courage
She Is keeping up wonderfully" said
a close friend, who received directions
here for the funeral which will close a
romance that began with an interna-
tional political mission more than a
quarter-century ago
1t was Princess Alice" who took
charge of the arrangements. She de-
ctded against state funeral. She

When Mrs Longworth left for Aiken,

pneumonia. Those who saw her trans
acting business matters before leaving
said there were hollows in her cheeks.
But she told them not to worry and
to keep the news from friends be

Expected TO Return Here.
If she comes back to Washington, as
her friends are confident she will,
Princess Alice" will begin new phase.
But still important will be her role
as a national character
Speaker Longworth once told Mrs.
Borah, wife Of the Idaho Senator, that
Alice has an intuition that amounts to
genius for understanding affairs, ma
tional and international"
Public affairs were the first common
interest of "Alice and Nick" 1t is
likely they were the ground on which
developed the romantic courtship of
President Roosevelt's daughter by the

Longworth Kept
Title of Speaker
Only by Courtesy

The late Representative Mich
olas Longworth ceased to be actu-
ally Speaker of the House at the
adjournment of the last Congress.
BY courtesy, however, he con-
tinued TO be referred to as
Speaker" Longworth, retaining
the Offices of the Speaker at the
Capitol. Furthermore, he had
been renominated for the Speak
erShip by the Republican party
caucus.
Unlike the Senate, the House is
not q continuing body. A new
House Is elected every two years.
When the next House assemblies
it will be called to order by the
clerk of the House, who holds Of
fee until his successor Is chosen.
Had Speaker Longworth lived he
would not have presided at the
opening Of the new Congress, but
that duty would have been and
will be performed by the clerk,
William Tyler Page. Mr.. Long
worth at the time of his death
was Representative-elect from the
first district of Ohio.

Death Left to Mother.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 10 R).-
Gr1ef stricken and Borrowing, the city
which knew Nicholas Longworth as a
child and delighted in his accomplish
mentS today prepared to receive its be-
loved Mick" in death.
The whole city was In mourning ex-
cept for little girl at the famous
lockwood home Of the Longworths.
There was none who would tell 6-year-
old Paulina, pride of the late Speakers
heart. Of her fathers death. The task
was left to Princess Alice" Longworth
when she arrives with her husbands
body.
With the passing Of Mr.. Longworth
the city loses the last member Of a
family bearing that name and whose
achievements have been closely linked
with the progress Of the Queen City

the Longworth family has figured most
prominently in the city's history, eS-
pecially so in the development Of arts
and civic enterprises.
Family Gave Park to City.
1t was in May, 1904, that Nicholas
Longworth, grandfather of the late
Speaker, arrived here, a young man of
81. Although attracted to the legal pro-
fession, young Longworth had implicit
faith in real estate. AS his law prac-
tice brought him substantial financial
returns, he purchased land and later
turned his attention to vineyards.
Great cellars were made under the
hills along the river, where sometimes
as many as 10000 bottles of wine we're
stored, as well as aging watts.
It was this member Of the family who
gave to the city its famous Eden Park.

looking the Ohio River. 1t was he who
built the widely known Pike street resi-
dence of the late Charles P. Taft, for
mer publisher of the Times-Star and
half brother of William Howard Taft,
late Chief Justice of the United States.
The Pike street residence, along with
the famous art collection, was turned
over to the city recently upon the death
of Mrs. Anna Sinton Taft, widow OF
the publisher.
