BY HELEN ESSARY

A motion to be placed before
the National Democratic Commit
tee
That Franklin woodrow Jor-
dan, born last week at the foot
of a deep, dark, wet well and
fished out alive, and kicking, be
made the Democratic mascot for
the 1896 campaign.
Also that Franklin woodrow
Jordan's mother be put Derma-
nently on the pay roll Of the
Labor Department.
Mr.. Jesse H. Jones has come
back to Washington from the
first vacation he's had in years
and years.
He's been down in Houston
watching the State Of Texas turn
itself practically inside out in ap-
probation Of the good qualities Of
the chairman O. the RFC.
They hung Mr.. Jones handsome
portrait mean the portrait OF
the handsome Mr.. JoneS-on the
wall of the House at Austin
They cheered like mad and said
In public speeches that Mr.. Jones
ought to be President Of the
United States.
Mr.. Jones had a magnificent
time. naturally. Once at a stag
dinner he sort of broke down and
told what he thought were swell
stories.
He didn't realize that his re
marks were being broadcast un'
til the radio people sent him Q
little note saying that some OF
the stories seemed to some Of the
radio audience to be a little
er-a-risque.
Mr.. Norman w. Baxter, who
helps run the R.F.C., says 1t
isn't true that he has copies OF
the stories Mr.. Jones told and
those he might have told, locked
IN the R.F.C. archives.
I have been brooding over the
nawsty letter the Massachusetts
Motor Vehicles Commissioner
wrote to the daughter of the late
Senator Lodge, when she COM
planned about the way the Roose
welt boys drove their automo
biles.
You remember the CommiS.
Sioner addressed her thus:
"You and the rest of the women
think that politicians are reSpon-
sible for the ruination of the Re
publican party, and there are a
few of you who think they own
the party because their relatives
at one time or another held i'm
portant positions therein"
Some Republican relative ought
to answer that letter.
Not Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.
She has not been a violent public
character.
Nor Mrs. Dolly Gam. She's
been more social than political.
It's obvious that Mrs. Long.
worth 'hould speak. Whatever the
widow and daughter Of two lead
ing Republicans would say would
be worth hearing.
And how I'd like to print it!
Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg, Tho
might possibly move from Ward.
man Park to 1900 Pennsylvania
next March, believes that her SER
wants should see the sights Of
Washington.
When Congress is in session and
she and Senator Vandenberg are
out for the afternoon, she sends
her maid and butler to Mt. Vernon
or up the Washington Monument
or to the National Museum.
Hazel Vandenberg was once a
newspaper woman. But since her
marriage, being her husbands wife
and the mother of his three child
rem by a previous marriage has
been her particular job.
Senator Vandenberg, you know,
Is the close friend of another
Republican candidate, Editor and
Col. Frank Knox.
Whether Editor Damon will
sacrifice self for Senator
PythiaS at the next Republican
Convention remains to be seen.
