A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

Most of them follow the way Of per-
sonal taste in clothes.
One has never been known to ap-
pear wearing plus fours. That is one
touch yet lacking.
Probably most Of them own getaways,
but few show any marked fondness for
the more formal attire. Jim Watson
of Indiana wears his often, as do Short
ridge of California, Robinson of Arkan-
sas and AShursC OF Arizona. But none
is perhaps quite so consistent in this
respect as were Bruce of Maryland,
Burton of Ohio and Overman of North
Carolina
Warren of Wyoming, father-in-law
Of Gen. PerShing, was picturesque on
the Senate floor Almost invariably he
was clad in long black coat of almost
frock coat appearance.
Occasionally he would wear a bright
red tie, which, with his blue-starred
Congressional Medal of Honor, relieved
the somberness Of his outfit.

DOC" Copeland of New York can
always be counted on to add dash of
color with his bright red carnation

Young Bob" La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin never fails to approach the sartorial

collar effect are certain to delight the
observant ones in the gallery.
Cam" Morrison of North Carolina

carried on the tradition begun by his

ATTITUDE
$hrieVaIty Candidates Plant
Against Fields Tenure
Brings Frugal Results

After q two-day investigation
into alleged bootlegging and gam
bling activities in Arlington
county and Irregularities in the
nheriff's office, a grand jury in
the Circuit Court yesterday re-
ported that "after a thorough
investigation, it was Of the opin-
ion that no further action
should be taken by this body at
this time"
The investigation, during which
Is witnesses were called, came at
the sheriff's invitation, after Ed
ward Duncan chairman Of the
county board Of supervisors and
q candidate for sheriff in the
coming election, had charged in
efficiency Of the county police.
Court InStructs Jury
Before the jury retired, Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy, presiding,
warned the jurors that they
should be aware Of the political
atmosphere which now pervades
the county and do nothing which
would tend to affirm one candi-
date or diScredit another.
To this end, he warned the
Jury against merely submitting a
report, but to confine its activi-
ties to bringing in indictments
or nothing"
Bearing on Race
Failure Of the grand jury to
bring in indictments in the case
will probably have a strong bear
ing upon the fight now being
waged for the office Of sheriff.
Political observers in the coun-
try have maintained that Dun
cans chances for election to the
office Of sheriff depended largely
upon his ability to prove the
charges he has been making
from the campaign platform.
