A—14 .* CRDRONCLUBACTS CONVENTION ROLES Stirring Scenes in Chicago Foretold Before Hoover and Cabinet. (Continued From First Page.) Reconstruction Finance Corporation produces loans and more loans, economy produces commissions and more com- missions, Geueva produces resolutions and more resolutions, and the noble experinment produces handsprings and more somersaults. “All at the same time, westward the “d:t of W}iu';‘fil takes its way, fiuboth parties with singular appropriateness ccllltm for their deliberations the Windy y. “Upon men and measures of this re- markable time the Gridiron Club sheds a light wholly warm, friendly, imper- sonal, bi-partisan and impartial.” As the guests entered the dining hall heroic-sized portraits of some of the leading presicential candidates, clad in the garb of 1832, looked down upon them, adding to the impression that the dinner wss a convention affair. ‘The portraits bore the following in- scriptions: “Henry Clay Hoover," “Mar- tin Van Roosevelt,” e Scrappy War- rior, Alfred Emanuel Jackson"; “Cactus Jack Garner,” and “Free Trade, Free Speech, Free Rum Albert Calhoun Ritchie.” The menus for the dinner were in the form of tickets to a na- tional convention. Gridiron dinners open with a crash and the inevitable crash last night, accompanied by cries of “Down Wwith Garner,” “Soak the rich” and “You're a liar,” evoked the customary inquiry from the presiding officer and the explanation: “That, Mr. President, is the Demo- cratic House of Representatives rehears- ing for the Chicago Convention.” Former Years Recalled. * To commemorate the first of the po- litical conventions & century ago and Teveal the phenomenal progress made in the art of politics since the primitive days of 1832, the Gridiron Club trans- ported its guests through the years to that first hotel room meeting of convention leaders and platform writers. In beaver hats and stocks and over their whisky glasses, they were shown debating such obsolete subjects as Tammany's attitude toward Little Van, the votes to be from de- nouncing the bankers, Federal road aid, nullification and Federal economy as theg viewed with alarm or pointed with ride. - Lights went off for an instant, and the scene changed to a modern hotel room at the Chicago Convention. A hundred years had passed. Instead of the beavers and stocks, the moderns were clad in straw hats, shirt sleeves, palm beach suits. They debated over their whisky glasses such modern mat- ters as Tammany's attitude toward Roosevelt, the votes to be gleaned from denouncing the bankers, Federal road aid, nullification and Federal economy &s they viewed with alarm or pointed with ide. Iw!l‘lw forthcoming Chicago conventions were dealt with in a hotel lobby scene. Messrs. Borah, Newton and Raskob arrive with other delegates, two of whom, from the South, wore what they explalned were “oush Chicawgo paja- mas,” consisting of coats of armor. Senator Borah discovered there was no reservation for him as the clerk did not know which convention he was going to attend and thought he was off secretaries, and that Senator Borah had arrived-to write the Repub- lican platform. { Spouts Sparks and Smoke. At this point the telephone spouted sparks and smoke. Secretary Newton, as the last words came over the line from the White House, obediently re- plied, “Yes, sir, I understand just wh-‘t. to do. The lake is right out in front. Chairman Raskob slso called Wash- ington, asked his understudy, Jouett Shouse, how the Democratic “Victory Fund” drive had come out, and, turning sadly away from the telephone, notified the clerk to cancel 19 of the 20 rooms he had reserved. ops, meanwhile, rushed orders for ginger ale, selzer and cracked ice to Room 810. “They're writing the dry plank,” explained the clerk. Amid cheers the delegates unani- mously decided to go to Room 210. The predicament in which the Re- publican party finds itself today with prohibition cutting squarely across party lines was ‘laid before the guests when Little Alice G. O. P., lost in Spie- gel Grove, Ohio, the Prohibition Wood, sought advice of the Tweedlebrothers, Tweedlebrown and Tweedlefess. Alice appeared upon the stage reciting: “My campaign car is stuck in this Forest of Prohibition. “Perhaps Herbert Hoover can start the ignition.” Spying the Tweedle brothers, garbed in Tweedledee and Tweedledum cos- tumes, Alice continued: “What funny looking boys, Tweedle- fess, chairman of my National Com- mittee, and Tweedlebrown, who may have to run my campaign this year. “Oh, Tweedlebrown and Tweedlefess | Help me out of this awful mess.” ‘Tweedlebrown solemnly replied: “Little Alice G. O. P. ‘Walter Tweedlebrown is me. 1 tell every man I've met Don't be dry but be a wet.” Tweedlefess, just as solemnly, gave the following advice: “Little Alice G. O. P. Don't listen to him listen to me. Simeon Tweedlefess am I, Stick by me and be a dry.” “Wet” as Well as “Dry.” Alice complained that she did not know whether it was safer to be wet or dry. The Tweedle brothers exhibited & plank on one side of which was written “wet” and on the other “dry.” They explain that it was the Tweedle brothers’ plank for the Republican plat- form, “perfectly safe and guaranteed to carry the G. O. P. to victory.” Alice asked where Herbert Hoover stood and Tweedlebrown shouted “Wet,” while his brother, Tweedlefess, insisted } the President was “dr In & mournful tone Tweedlefess recited: “Herbert Hoover must be wet Herbert Hoover must be dry. When I see him so upset, It makes me want to cry.” Alice, with tears in her eyes, said: “T feel like crying too.” Reminiscent of the Walrus and the Carpenter, Tweedlebrown and Tweedle- fess recited the following: “The voter and the President Were walking, sad and glum, And they were both surprised to see Such quantities of rum. “And taxless, too,’ the voter sighed. The President was mum. “The East was wet as wet could be, ‘The South no dry; The West was Jake and gin And applejack and lye. And in the model Capital The roofs were leaking rye. *The voter and the President. Walked on, nor paused to ‘The voter talked of delegates And platforms not too dry. The President said nothing— But he winked the other eye.” Impostors Unmasked. More than ever confused and puzzled over how the disagreeing Tweedle ALKER S. BUEL. members of the Gridiron Club—Carl D. Ruth of the Toledo Blade and Elliott Thurston of the Philadelphia Record. The Shadow, over a loudspeaker, asked for a solution of “The Billion- Dollar Mystery,” in which John Digges Taxpayer, master of Babbitt Manor, was found “just around the corner” suffer- ing from a “busted budget.” Ogden Decimal Mills, his uncle, and Charles Hooey Hilles, the butler, learned of the tragedy from Roundsman Jim Watson and called in Inspector Garner of Blar- ney Yard and his aide, Sergt. Rainey, to work on the case, when suddenly the battered victim rushed in shoving High Finance, Hold-up Bonus and Stick-'em up Farmer ahead of him. At the point of a gun he herded them all together, including his Uncle Ogden, Garner and Rainey, pronouncing them all guilty. A messenger interrupted with a tele- gram from Representative F. H. La Guardia advising John Taxpayer that all his troubles would end if he would |, ¢ simply “give evervbody everything with- out taking anything from anybody.” “Why the laughter?” snorted John Taxpayer at his captives’ mirth over this advice. “That plan is just as feasible as most of the remedies you have prescribed. Maybe I'll try it. If it doesn't work I can change the name of Babbit Manor to Mortgage Manor and live on my debts.” Marine Band Plays. ‘The motley brood of Mother Goose came dancing upon the stage to music supplied by the Marine Band. “The Gridiron Club takes us tonight to the fantastic land of Mother Goose, where the entire population of the United States, and the Government, have been living for the past decade,” it was announced by way of preface. “‘We have discovered who Mother Goose is—she is the great American public, and here she is.” “Now children,” said Mother Goose, “we have all gathered here tonight to speak our little pieces and sing our little songs about Wall Street, the bus- 1!1;‘6&5 depression and how to cure it. s Then came the verse: “Democrats, Democrats, where have u_been? yo We've been to Moscow to look at Lenin. Demmthu' 7Democrn'-!. what did you ere’ La Gu:;qu made us give Garner the “Children,” continued Mother Goose, “listen to the sad tale of Goosey, Garner.” ‘The chorus sang: “Goosey, Goosey, Garner, Whither, whither, m wander? Upstairs, downstairs, in the Lower Chamber, Upstairs, downstalrs, in the Lower Chamber, There he met a voter, who asked him if “There was a voter, and what do you thi ? He lived upon nothing but victusls and vlnua{‘slmédnnkwmthedxfiathh let. And now he has neither and cannot keep quiet. That I ever knew. He asked for a panic To keep him awake, And said he liked Hoover Better than cake. “He’d rather drink soda Than Bourbon and ice. He ate up & wage cut And said it was nice. He stayed in the market Until it fell through, And he'll vote the straight ticket In the year '32." Chorus Chimes In. The chorus chimed in: “Rockabye, Hoover, on the tree top, When the wind biows the market will drop. When the boom breaks the prices wil ity Down will come Hoover, Curtis and all.” Mother Goose contributed: “Old Mother Hubbard went to the cup- board To get her poor Dawes some stocks. But when she got there the cupboard was bare, And so the poor Dawes got Knox." “What about the Government's ‘prize boob'—the Department of Agriculture— and what about the farmer?” asked Mother Goose, and her chorus, dancing about in circles, chanted: “The farmer’s gone to hell, The farmer's gone to hell: Higho, the cherrio, the farmer’s gone to hell.” ““Well, children,” added Mother Goose, “jt’s time to go to bed, so you are all excused until the Stock Excl opens on Monday morning. Good night!” Off the stage danced the nursery rhyme notables, singing “Dear Old, Queer Old, Mother Goose.” “Until now,” announced a member, “the Gridiron Club has resisted every effort to have ‘Gunga Din''recited at its dinners. But the pressure has be- come too great. We have succumbed, and tonight we present an up-to-date version of Mr. Kipling's famous poem.” Tommy Atkins thereupon recited: “Why way back in 1830 Politics they say was dirty An' a 'undred years ain't brought us much reforms. So in language just as phoney We'll find the old bologny When in June they resolutes the two platforms, Why men followed party banner In the days o' Bryan an' Hanner An' shouldered o' torch an’ marched in file But when now our radio screeches Well, we knows they're makin' speeches An’ r.hg:is better jazz in turnin’ o’ the “So it's Votes, Votes, Votes, Poles an’ Russians, Greeks an' Finns, Serbs an' Croats, Vote 'em early, vote 'em late An’ for God’s sake vote ‘em straight It's the good old Army game Get the Votes!” Calamity Jane Stars. ‘What was announced as “a thrilling romance never before shown on any stage, entitled the ‘Claim Jumpers, or Calamity Jane Democracy’s brothers could both Mr. Hoo- wver, little Alice G. O. P. learned that: “l!oym were & Tweedle brother from You'd be for Hoover, wet or dry-o.” Suspicious, she unmasked the im- Pposters, who were identified as two new ment,’ revealed Calamity Jane behind the bar of Ye Bucket of Blood Ice Cream Shoppee of Campaign Guich. “Hard times, such hard times,” she lnlled; “!Ah:xpeo‘ make good times for me. think they have staked out the m‘ claim; I with I knew which one will the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, get it; that's the bird intend to' here comes Rollo Pranklin Rosebud; he'’s located the claim. be him—but I ain't sure.” iss, let me have a “Think you've got your claim staked out?” Rollo: “T really believe so, miss, but a ot of tough fellows are trying to jump it. Heavens! Here come two of them now. Big Shot Al my wicked uncle, and his pal, One String Ritchie. Smith and Euhh entered, Smith with a patch on one eye. Rollo (to Smith): “Uncle Alfred, what are you doing here? I thought you finished with Campaign Gulch four years ago.” Smith: “Never you mind me, boy; I've got an eye on you and on that claim down the guich, too. (To Ca- lamity) Miss, give me a vanilla sody water with two straws, one for me and one for me pal, One String Ritchie.” “Alfalfa Bill" Murray, in Indian costume; Speaker Jack Garner, in cowboy regalia, and Newton D. Baker, carrying a long rifle, entered and galned the group threatening Roose- ud's claim. Rollo Pranklin Rosebud defled the crowd. Smith asked them in turn why they don't do something to head off Rosebud, but they all had good reasons for hanging back. Ritchie sald he was willlng enough, but while he had been wandering around pros- pecting for the last dozen years, he always came back to Maryland with just 16 delegates. Wails for Romance. Rollo finally left to kl'fl) an eye on his claim, bidding Calamity Jane re- member June and June brides. Smith and the rest follow him out and Ca- lamity Jane exclaimed sorrowfully: “There they go! My romances get me in such trouble, Theyll all dry gulch each other on the way to the claim, or claw themselves to death fighting for it—and then some big mining engineer will come in and take it." The diplomats were satarized in the Stimson _Select Finishing School, dis- closing Secretary Stimson putting his pupils through their lessons. N "Now, boys,” he addressed them, “‘put do your teacups and your cookies. Five o'clock is time enough for that. Already, laddies, let's go." As he jumped into the air, throwing I marry, but I want to be sure first. Ahl he thinks Maybe it will Rollo: th hands up as signal for a cheer, his pupils gave their yell: “Hee, haw, Margery Daw, o Diplomats in the raw, raw, raw. “Three big cheers for Henry L., But our real boss we cannot tell, continued one. “Siss, boom, bah and ki, yi, yi,” his fellow pupils chorused. “We're being taught to say ‘Aye, aye, aye.'” “Boys, that's fine” said Stimson, “the sooner you learn to say ‘Yes, yes, yes' in this administration the farther you will go, but a diplomat doesn't say “Yes' and he doesn't say ‘No. “Now. Montmorency Kraut, what about the fifth reservation to the pro- tocol of adherence to the Permanent Court of International Justice?" Montmorency: “That’s why they're roamin’ in the gloamin’. Could I in- terest you in some neckties?” Praises Senseless Reply. Stimson: “Ah, my brilliant bucko, what a gift you will be to diplomacy. You are a blacksmith at heart. Go out and beat some plowshares into swords. Cheerio. Now then, Enrico Gorgonzola, “Aye, aye, sir. Stimson: *“Can you possibly imagine why we have American troops in Shanghai? Enrico: “If you are speaking to me, sir, I'd say we are trying to make the laundry vote safe for Hoover.” Stimson (indignantly) : “Enrico, n dirty linen will be washed here.” E Enrico: “Well, sir, you see I'm just a Chink off the old block.” With the command to disarm, the diplomats flung down their teacups and cookies with a crash. ‘The scene shifted to the attic of the Republican National Committee, high over the roofs of Washington, as an an- nouncer said: “Mr. Hoover has been compared to Washington and Lincoln. Tonight the Gridiron Club will show you the historic characters whom the President really resembles.” ‘Thereupon three incarnations, sym- bolized by a backstage bust, represented Mr. Hoover as Daniel Boone, Trader Horn and Casey Jones. When the back- stage bust appeared wearing a loco- motive driver’s hat, the chorus sang “Casey Jones,” revised thus: “Come all you voters, if you want to hear ‘The truth about a great engineer. Herbert Hoover was the engineer's name, And a-diggin’ in the ground is how he won his fame. He's diggin’ now as he never dug before, He's diggin’ now at the White House door. He tumsom Mr. Watson and the G. O. P. And shouts ‘All aboard for 1933!" “Casey Jones. Diggin’ in the White House. Casey Jones. How he loves the G. O. P.! Casey Jones, diggin' m the White House, And he hopes that he'll be diggin’ there in thirty-three!” Other Scenes Recorded. Other scenes recorded the changed control in the House, with the eclipse of the former Republican leaders, Bertrand Snell and John Q. Tilson, and the emergence of Representative La Guardia; the politically pursued power trust, in biack crepe, demonstrating that “Mourning Becomes Electric”; furious shadow-boxing by a Democrat who explained that he was aiming at the tariff, knew he was not hitting any- thing, but felt obliged to go through the motions every four years. Diogenes strolled in, still on his famous hunt, and when asked if he sought anybody at the Gridiron banquet, replied, “No, I'm just passing through.” Aladdin rubbed his magic lamp, produced a siream of coins and explained, “I'm Sheriff Farley of New York. Ain't it a wonderful trick?” ‘Toward the end of the dinner Presi- dent Hoover, as tradition decreed, was called upon to speak, but under the Gridiron rule that “reporters are never present,” his words, and those of Sena- tor James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, the only other speaker of the evening, are not of record. ‘The Gridiron Club turned aside from its lighter moods to pay tribute to two of its most distinguished members, John Philip Sousa and Richard Vincent Oulahan, who died last Winter. ‘The guests attending the Gridiron dinner were: ‘The President of the United States. ‘The Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives. ‘Ambassador of Germany. Ambassador of Cubd. Secretary of the Treasury. Attorney General, e Postmaster General. Secretary of the Navy. Secretary of the Interior. Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce. Secretary of Labor. Minister to Canada. Minister of Panama. A ‘Willis J. Abbot, the Christian Science Monitor; Eugene G. Adams, Col.
