A large numbser of publishers and newspaper men from other cities attended the dinner. A crach—a terrible crash—of break. Mng glass opened the dinner. President Harry J. Brown of the Gridiron Club demanded the cause. “That, Mr. President.” i “that rol by Cannon.” “Election Day in Dixie, or The Shat- tered South,” was presented by Grid- iron singers in the same vein. The cast included Senator Glass of Virginia, Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, former Secretary of the Navy; Chatr- man Raskob of the Democratic na- tionsl committes: Bishop Cannon, who led the enti-Smith Democratic hosts in the South, and a member with black- encd face and white wig, “Old Black Joe.” The cherus was garbed as South- em gentlemen. of middls of the century and “Kentucky colonels.” Smith on Cold Ground. While the band played “Msssa’s in the Cold, Cold Ground,” the cast sang: *Twenty votes lost down in Texas, Twelve in Carolin’, Twelve are missing in Virginia, Flerida in six behind. CHORUS: “Way down in Dixie, Hear dat mournful sound, All tie Democrats are weeping, Smith lies on the cold, uold mund e At ths conclusion of the song Senator muas a{;nounceg. i “Gentlemen, ths purpose of t ‘ot sorrow is to flnl:iu out what hit u'se Grant was more magnanimous than Mr. Hoover—he left us our horses. Mr. yHoover took our shirts.” He added that “the South threw aside facial supemnty ?d went Republican.” B ‘fune of d' Black .)oe " Senator olus sang: |! are the days of Cox and W.

Old Black Joe at this point was dis- " “in person.” In reply to a question as to what he was doing, Joé “ES W ter_ob Richmond, and I md & application to be a am- or.” ‘He added sadly that Dr. Work had told him “about dis heré ob- structive emigration” which prevented hlack Republicans from becoming am- bassadors. - Raskob Clad in Barrel, John J.

The Democrats vanished from #tage. The scene shifted to the deck of the battleship Maryland. An episode on the President-elect’s flou.ln( home ‘wes given, entitled “The U. S. S. Mary- 1and, o: Peace and Politics in Panama.” Senators Curtis, Moses, Brookhart and Whatson were disclosed, dressed as sea- men. They did a hornpipe and sang to the tune of “Safling” the following: “Siling, sailing, through the: Culebra ip: Clllou we, all full of glee to be on Hoover’s ship, Bailing, sailing, » hite the canal does foam— Many a gob will want a job when Hoover gets back home. “Now Hoover sails the Southern sea While politicians anxiously All wait to learn what may bsfall While Hoover Jistens to the call of Larboard waich, ahoy!

Dr. Work wanted to know “what chance have you Senators” of going into the Cabinet. “None of you belong to the European relief squad or the food ad- ministration gang.” “That’s what we are here for,” said Moses; “to put a little politics in Hoover efficiency and keep him regular.” ‘To the tune of “Buttercup” they sang: “Oh, we are the regulars, we are the regulars, And we can always tell why— We don't like Bull Moosérs except when they're losers; ‘The regulars want all the pie. We'll il up the cabinet, for that is N omur hi.mrmneul es we'll find. 0 or v We'll make sécretaries of Tom, Dick and Harrys If they are the regular kind.

Mr. Mellon #es recognized as the “scientist who. was converted to ‘he Hoover nomination hypothesis by Prof. William S.

Some of the distinguished . guests were formally introd: to the diners. A member of the club, speaking for Senator Borah when he was ‘“intro- duced,” sald: “Sengtor Borah savs he regards Mr, xoovetl‘-‘ as & noble ent, who | He must be worked on constructively.” A member of the club entered with an armful of books, announcing he had been sent from the White House to burn them after President Coolidge had fin- ished looking over the éléction returns. The books turned out to be “the Presi- dent's private umwpfiu of ‘Have Faith in Massach Doewn With 'hnmyl {. The lumn | burlesqued four club membem | with megaphanes, d: “Down_with ‘Tammany!

The men are out to or- ganize a “league of husband voters to work for the twentieth amendment to the Constitution, giving husbands equal political rights with wives.” “Survivors of the Army of State So- cialism,” Senators Norris of Nebraska, La Follette and Blaine of Wtsconsln. two of whom gave outward support to the candidacy of Al Smith, and the third was anti-Hoover, came on the stage in tattered uniforms. They res solved to maintain thejr “progressive organization,” although they had bsen deserted by, Benators Borah, Brookhart, Frazler, Nn. Howell and .ynhnson, of whom supported Hoover. They bal. loted ltfor ) le-fler. but _each woted tor se! “The Three unsheteen All for none and none for all” declalmed Senator La Follette as they rushed from the stage “to save the country.” Raskob on “Brown Derby.” John J.

Old Kaspar and Little Peterkin de- livered & paraphrase of “It Was a Famous Victory,” with the Hoover vic- tory as the theme. It went, in part, as follows: Kaspar: mh’{‘ g“ mgee @itting in our He miy ave n .n-f‘mun. 1o- . “Oh, men may talk of other wars In legénd and in h— ‘There'll be no more like 28, Hoover !

Out of the depths of my experience, I commend to you these 10 command- meénts.” Samples of them follow: “Don’t steal the first page on inau- guration day and you may be invited to sit in the cabinet. “Don’t be afraid to criticize the Sen- ate. You know how much it needs it. ‘The public likes it and the Senate thrlvu on it. retend that you understand the equul tion fee. Al Smith found there wasn’t a vote in it—so did I. “Don’t commit yourself to another fellow's candidacy for President. He may hold you to it.” Reveal Future of Party. “With characteristic modesty,” the Gridiron Club undertook to reveal the future of the Democratic party in a skit entitled “Democratic Gypsies.”” A fortune-teller said: g 4 lee two Democnt.s vying for a preside: ney.” Pruldency of what?” demanded, the ch “Ol ‘the I Told You So Club,’” said thé fortuné-teller. * “One of them is Senator Simmons of North Carolina; the other is a strong, silent-man from Alabama, name of Heflin.” The fortune-teller continued, sayirg he saw James W.

It was not reported, as under the rules of the club “reporters” are never present. Speeches were made also by Senator mot Idaho and Senator Reeu of Two newly elected members of the Gridiran Club were initiated.
