Richberg rewarded Secretary of the Interior Ickes:; as the Middle West went Democratic he remunerated Secretary of Agriculture | Wallace; as New York rolled up its big majorities he paid off Relief Ad-| ministrator Hopkins; as the whole country hopped the band wagon he promoted Tugwell for his great work in remaining in Europe until the campaign was over. Wright Gives Keynote. The keynote of the Gridiron show was sounded at the outset in a tra- ditional speech delivered in darkness except for the glow of a lighted grid- iron by James L. Wright, correspond- ent of the Buffalo Evening News and 1934 president of the club | “Tonight, my friends.” he said, “we train our field glasses on the pompoms of the political pageant, on fantastic floats and floating fantasies. Colorful | events of recent months will pass quickly in review. | “Since last we met beneath the| golden gridiron there have been many changes. The Washington Monument has been washed down and the Re- publican party washed up. “The watchdog of the Treasury has been driven off by the kitty of the| New Deal. The donkey has been crossed with the pink zebra in the Northwest. The elephant, denied pea- | nuts in Pennsylvania, has crashed through “the jungle” in California. The tiger, housebroken in New York. is now a domestic pet, and the good old Blue Eagle has quit soaring in the sky, to sit on the nest where its fledgling is hatching. Broils but Doesn’t Sear. “Only the Gridiron Club, venerable with the years, hidebound in the tra- ditions of its founding fathers, clings 10 the past. It, too, may feel the urge to step in line, click its heels, march in the parade, lest, failing to do so, it shall be denied elbow room at the counters of the more abundant life. “But enough of this. Let the grid- iron shine. It warms, but it doesn’'t scorch. It broils, but it doesn’t sear. Its heat is generated in the glowing coals of friendship and fellowship. It flashes happy hours are here again, so on to glorious adventure.” The show began with a small boy, in sleeping suit, candle in hand. re- citing a parody on “The Night Before Christmas.” | As he finished the Marine Band | struck up “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.” and 20 Gridiron members, garbed in the red coats and the beards of a Santa Claus, but each carrying a bag with a big dollar sign upon it, entered from the end of the hall,| marched about through the audience and up on the stage. Songs and Puns. “You better watch out, you better be 00d, good, Better not pout, but vote as you should,” sang a_soloist, sponded: “Santa Claus is comin’ to town.” “He's making a list and checking it | twice, ol Gonna find out who's treating him nice,” went on the soloist. The chorus came in again and the song went on: | SOLO. “He sees you when you're voting, He watches all the time; You better be a Democrat Or you will not get a dimel” After this whack at the adminis- tration’s policies of public works, re- lief and farm benefits, the Gridiron Club engaged in a littlg raillery upon itself and the correspondents general- ly, using it as the vehicle for the in- | itiation of a new member, Charles O.| Gridley, correspondent of the Denver Post. and the chorus re- 7-A Is Satirized. ‘The progress of recovery under the leadership of President Roosevelt was handled in a travesty enacted in the interior of a Pullman car on the Pros- perity Limited, showing three berths made up, the center on labeled Sec- tion 7-A. | As the lights went up the porter| came in with a step ladder, followed | by Henry Ford and William Green, | president of the American Federation | of Labor. Both had tickets for Sec- tion 7-A and both demanded that sec- | tion and no_ other. “Gemmen, I shure is sorry,” said the porter. “As chairman of the board of conciliation, it seems ter me that some bone head in de main ticket office done made a mistake. Lordy! Lordy! Here's sumpin’.” Ford and Green went into a scuffle, each trying to get into the berth. “Trying to cheat the poor down- pressed laboring man out of his berth, are you?” taunted Green. Harriman Loses Club. Henry I. Huarriman, president of the United States Chamber of Com- | merce, and Rudolph S. Hecht, presi- | dent of the American Bankers' Asso- ciation, who were siceping in the two | adjacent sections, were awakened by the noise and Hecht asked Harriman | if he didn't have a club with which| to hit the quarreling passengers over the head. “I used to have a club,” he replied, | “but the last time I carried it over!| | take us, get me? | owns this railroad.

It jest roams around, like. Sometimes it goes to de left and sometimes it goes to de right, and sometimes it jest backs up, accordin’ to de way de engineer makes up his mind. But mostly it don't go no place, and don't git nowheres. De engineer of dis train certainly am mos’ indefinite.” The conductor entered at this point, dressed as Uncle Sam. “Where's we goin' dis time, Boss?” asked the porter *Jest up on one of the sidings like we done last time? Where's de engineer takin’ us dis trip?” Ford and Green “Get Told.” “He's taking us where I tell him to I'm the guy that The Turning to Ford and Green, he shouted: “Get in your bunks, you trouble~ makers, and don't let me hear any more of your yap or I'll throw you both off the train.” ‘The conductor pulled a bell cord, a and as the wheels began to grind, with Ford and Green arguing whether they would have the train go to Dearborn or Weirton, the conductor announced that “this train’s going to Prosperity- ville.” “I certainly heard a lot about that town,” said the porter in an aside, “but I ain’t never been there yet.” While this was going on Ford and Green were in a whispered conversa- tion in the corner. As the noise of the moving train increased they both crawled into section 7-a together. With a look of satisfaction, the con- ductor shouted out joyously, “Next stop, Prosperityville,” and exited, fol- lowed by the porter shaking his head dubiously, muttering: “Better get der in a hurry, ’cal sumpin’ tells me does men ain't goin’ t' stay in de same bunk long.” Old Guard Kidded. The Faust skit, deriding the Re- publican party, began “in a cellar where a certain prominent Republican has taken refuge.” It exhibited Henry P. Fletcher, Republican national chairman, as an old man seated in a high-backed Gothic chair behind a table covered with a green cloth and stacked with bottles, vials and chemi- cal apparatus. Mephistopheles appeared with “an old-age pension in my hat, and with each vote a six-room flat,” promising Faust that if he would make the usual concession he would perform such tricks with votes as he had never known before. “We'll sell our souls for knowledge of the track On which the G. O. P. can win its power back.” responded Faust eagerly. Fletcher Faust Signs. The pact was concluded, Faust's name signed with a drop of blood, the rejuvenation took place, and the new Republican voters came in dressed as girls and dancing to the Kermesse waltz. “Your blood upon the bond has put you on the dole,” replied Mephisto- pheles, “for when you deal with new ideas you lose your Republican soul.” “This is what often comes,” an- The Gridiron Club's “Night Before Christmas” 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land, The ballots were ready, the pol lls fully manned. ‘The stockings were hung by the chimney with care Because good St. Franklin soo n would be there. ‘The people were snuggled all warm in their beds ‘With visions of alphabet plums in their heads: And the voters were dreaming They'd march to the polls for of how, the next day, old P. W. A, When the jingle of sleigh bells was heard from afar And swift through the night soared a big White House car. From out of the packages, piled high to see, Shone the bright, smiling face Each bulging package a dollar of the good saint F. D. sign wore, And down every chimney he poured them, galore. By mantels and chairs he piles For he knew, though devalued, d dollars so thick, they'd still do the trick. Homes of good little boys, from Curley to Duffy, And Donahey, McAdoo, Lehman and Guffey, He hastened to reach with the glittering stream Before sleeping taxpayers waked from their dream. His eyes, how they gleamed; hi As he thought hgw good deeds is laughter so gay, most generally pay! Every stocking was filled ere the saint turned to go, And the manna had fallen as thick as the snow; And they heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight: “Merry Christmas to all—and be sure you vote right!” THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

A scene between Emil Hurja, assist- ant to James A. Farley in the Demo- cratic National Committee, and his dumb stenographer, Gracie Alibi, opened with Gracie responding to her boss’s call by saying: “Did I hurja calling me?” In giving her instructions he men- tioned something about the “insular” possessions and she replied: “But when they brought him bnck! from Greece for trial, they couldn't find his possessions.” Hurja called her promptly to order and said they had to get busy in order to get the people’s mandate on election | day. | “Oh, Mr. Hurja,” responded Gracie, | “I don’t want to wait until election day for my man—date.” And Upton Sinclair. In the course of such discussions it developed that Upton Sinclair had | been indorsed. “What do you mean, we indorsed him,” shouted Hurja, jumping up. | “Why we indorsed him with a rub- | ber stamp,” laughed Gracie, “just like | they do checks. Maybe he was a | little overdrawn. | “If you let an indorsement for that guy get out,” yelled Hurja, “you are overdrawn in this office. That letter | will be a joke all over California from Los Angeles to Palo Alto.” | “They need a laugh in Palo Alto,” said Gracie, soothingly. | The scene ended with Gracie saying: “California, am I dumb.” ‘ The show went on with two members | of the Gridiron Club singing a duet to | the tune of “The Man on the Flying | Trapeze.” J The Liberty League. In another act the principal officers | | of the American Liberty League, Wal- lingford Shouse, Ponzi Raskob, Dyna- mite du Pont and Polly Go-Gettem | Sabin, held a meeting on the stage— a meeting punctuated by the frequent ring of the cash register as Shouse opened the morning mail. | They decided that “this is going to | be better than the prohibition racket™ that ‘onstitution lovers are even more generous than distillers and brewers.” “Sure thing,” said Shouse, “if any- body’s in favor of saving the Consti- tution it's a sure sign he's got at least & million dollars.” | Numerous contributions were re- corded, including a gift of a dime from Rockefeller.

He has | believed in saving it ever since he | found out that Alexander Hamilton | wrote it.” ‘The question of how they're going to save the Constitution ihen comes |up and the officers of the Liberty | League decide that they will save it by plowing under every third Demo- crat. | | “It's the only way to save the Con- | stitution that I know of,” said Ponzi | Raskob sadly. | As the meeting was about to break | up, Senator James F. Byrnes, chaig- man of the Campaign Expenditures Committee, rushed in with his agents “sworn in from the Washington dog {pound” and they captured the entire |group in a dog-catcher’s net and dragged them off before the Senate. A congressional maternity ward for | elected last November was presented. | Nurse James A. Farley moaned: “After an election, before an election, and between elections—it'’s babies, Jjust babies.” Nurse Farley and Dr. Garner. The diseases and ailments of vari- | ous Senate babies were discussed by Nurse Farley and Dr. John N. Garner and then the doctor asked about the House babies. “Oh, they're easy to control,” replied Nurse Farley. “Sometimes they make a racket, and then, do you know what they do when I yell at the top of my lungs: ‘President Roosevelt wants you to eat your spinach—or else—'?" . “No,” said Garner, “what do they 0? ‘Those House babies eat their spinach,” answered Nurse Farley. ‘When Baby Moore was reached, the New Jersey Senator elected with the support of Frank Hague, New Jersey Democratic boss who led the Al Smith | convention fight at Chicago, Nurse Farley sang: Richberg for Johnson. In the New Deal Hotel scene, when the telephone operator, Miss Frances | Perkins, and the chief Roosevelt ad- ministrators were receiving election returns, persistent calls came for the | manager, Hugh Johnson. Miss Per- kins informed the callers that he wasn't there any more, but that she'd “the new manager, Mr. jgive them Richberg.” “People got the habit of kicking Gen. Johnson when anything went wrong,” said Richberg. “Now that he's gone, we're all going to get kicked.” “That's the trouble about reorgani- zation,” said Miss Perkins, “It de- centralizes the kicking.” While the election returns were coming in Richberg caught Ray Moley and Louis Howe, two bellboys, shoot- ing craps in a corner. “We were just shooting to decide the speakership of the House,” ex- plained Moley. The California election was handled in another skit which showed a press box in the Rose Bowl with George Creel at the radio announcing the battle play by play. ‘The witches’ scene from ‘“Macbeth,” with Gov. Floyd B. Olson of Minne- sota, Farmer-Laborite, elected on a radical platform, in the part of Hecate and James P. Morgan, in the part of Macbeth, was staged by club members. Secretary of State Hull, not so prominent in the news as he was at the time of the Montivideo Confer- ence, was shown in another skit wan- dering in the streets of the Uruguayan capital, moaning: “I wanna go back, I wanna go back, to mah home in Tennessee.” ‘The decision of the White House to serve wine, but not more than two kinds on any occasion, was burlesqued in a song sung to the tune of “Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes,” by a Gridiron member dressed as the White House chef. The closing act of the show was the travesty on Peer Gynt. Bell New Club Head. Prior to the dinner the annual meeting of the Gridiron Club was held, at which Ulric Bell, Washington cor- respondent of the Louisville Courier- Journal, was elected president for next year; Edwin W.
