WASHINGTON, March 3.—As the curtain was descening tonight on the 67th congress, the political spotlight was moving away from a large group of notable public men on whom it has been focused for the last quarter of a century. The quirks of politics were unkind to some; others decided that after long and arduous duties in official life {t was time to go back to the old home town and spend their remain- ing days in rest and quiet. 150 house members and 15 senators—inciuding several whose names have been “on the front page” consistently for the last decade—will bid farewell to congressional life when the final gavel sounds at noon to- morrow. Today was a day Friendship, built vu through years of congressional rvice, knows no Party lines and time and again hands reached across the party aisie for an affectionate good bye. Many of the old timers realized they would see old friends for the last time and it is that which marks the dying hours of congress with sadness In the house sits for the last time the thin, gaunt figure of Uncle Joe Cannon, the “grand old man” of congress, who as a fighting young representative from Illinois, entered the national legislature more than @ half century ago. He rose to the pinnacle of power. No man outside the presidency ever had greater pow- of farewells. Joe” is glad of a chance to yet he hates to part with his old friends.

In the senate, John Sharp Wil!lams found it so hard to say good bye to his friends that he-paid hurried calls to President Harding and Woodrow Wilson, and then caught a fast train for his Mississippi plantation, with- out @ word to his colleagues. One of the touching defeats is that of Aunt Alice Robertson, the lady from Oklahoma. Broke, but not dis- heartened, she goes back home to be- gin life anew as a truck farmer, with & bulldog as her “guardian.” Her defeat and that of Mrs. Winifred Huck of Iilino!s, has cut the woman's bioc in the new congress to one mem. ber—Mrs. Ellen Nolan of California. “Andy” Voistead, looked upon as the champion dry, was defeated by a man ever drier than he is. Spurning lucrative chautauqua offers, Volstead goes back to Main street, Granite Falls, Minn., to practice law. His name, however, will remain a cuss word among the wets of the east. Others in the “passing show’ of tonight include: Senator McCumber who put Wah peton N. D., on the may by writing @ Protective tariff law.
