VOLUME XXIII. MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS LA GRANDE OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1925. MEMBER . ASSOCIATED PRESS NUMBER 78 Hunts Daily Letter. (By HARRY B. HI NT) WASHINGTON (NKA Special) They blame this on Tom Mar shall, tho Hoosior wag who nre sidud over tho senate -during the two' terms of WooUrow Wilson as president. , j "Mr. Coolidge," Marshall is re ported to have observed, "has cer tainly made a model president. HUiting it more exactly, I should say thut he has been a president without a vice. But even he won't bo uble to keep that up for ever. He'll have one after ALurch 4. It'll be Charley Dawes." Figure it out for yourself! Speaking of the Dawses, capital; society is wondering whether tho wife of the vice president-to-be Is overly . enthusiastic at tho pros pect of four or more ''seusons" In Washington. To put it plainly. Mrj, Dawes isn't fond of the fuss and feath ers of Washington official society. She has lived much in Washing ton: first when Dawes was comp troller of currency some 20-odd years ago, luter when ho was di rector or the budget, On both of these occasions she was able to follow her preference of taking little or no part in the cupital's soclul life, preferring to confine her interests and activities within a little circle . of close friends. T, ... As wife of a Vice president, 'iqw ever, she inherits a sizable bur den of social obligations that can not easily bo shifted. In fact it is suggested the social duties, de volving upon Mrs. Dawes may be as irksome to her as tho "figure head" job of v. p. may be to her naturally voluablo and aggressive husband. ''.
