WASHINGTON, Dec. 11- The 35th annual dinner of the Gridiron club was made the occasion tonight of a post-mortem on the presidential elec tion, the purpose being to permit politicians and some of the states men present to see themselves as others see-them.

Bryan and "Slush Fund Rumor" par ticipating. Mr. Daugherty stalked the front porch as Koko, the lord high executioner, while there was a rumpus when the "Slush Fund Ru mor" Invaded the Harding lawn. Dur ing the skit Will H. Hays sang plain tively to the republican candidate a political parody on "Then You'll Re number Me," only Mr. Hays' request was "so pTease remember me." In another episode a crystal gazer, reading the political future, saw President Harding sending the league of nations to the alien property cus todian. The gazer also announced that the crystal revealed President Harding receiving from Samuel Gom pers the key to the back door of the White House and returning it with & note, saying: "May I not, my dear Mr. Gompers, ask you to keep this key as a souve nir? I have changed the lock." Harding Busy on Mnsag. The seer revealed Harding at work on a message to congress. He said he could not give the text, but as sured an inquirer "the style will not cause any intellectual inconvenience." The crystal gazer also found former Senator J. Hamilton Lewis applying for the job of publicity director under Harding, but bis services were de clined. Mark Antony Hitchcock delivered his famous oration over the body of the league covenant following closely a historic model. He explained he came to bury the covenant, not to praise him.

They included Colonel George Harvey, former President Taft, Senators Borah, Johnson, Knox, Lodge, La Follette and Reed, Major General Wood, Governor Lowden.

City Con troller Carroll authorized the' issu ance of warrants against the railway fund in payment of wages for railway employes and these warrants were cashed by the city treasurer. With the possibility of a tie-up of the city's transportation system as a result of the railways going on a warrant basis eliminated, city offi cials were inclined today to take an optimistic view of the situation.

"Dad" as the prisoners in the county jail had learned fo call him In the few days he has sojourned there, was taken to Pendleton by Deputy Sheriff Blaiceley of Umatilla county to an swer a charge of forgery. Refusal on the part of the old man's wealthy brother. John D. Coplen of Los An geles, to provide funds to care for him. brought forth the sympathy of other dwellers on the seventh floor of the courthouse, and many prison era volunteered to take tip a collec tion to raise the $27.65, which would clear "Dad's" chargre. This money.was declined, as Sher iff Huri'purt believed some sort of re lief coula lie obtained and Coplen provided with a home for his declining- years. The message from the brother In Los Angeles was as follows: "I had never had any control over Jim and his statement of his past is ten times worse than I was aware of. My ef forts to help him when he was young were of no value, so it seems useless to try to help him now." Rev. Charles V. Fowler, pastor of Brentwood Nazarene church and step son of John D. Coplen, will make ef forts to obtain a parole for his rela tive and send him to an industrial farm or similar institution. Phone your want ads to The Ore eonian. Main 7070, Automatic 660-95.
