Sartorial Splendor Thing
of Past, Lawmakers Now
Look Like Ordinary Men
By Jack Slinnalt
Washington The visitor to
' WashinRton frequently returns
home nowadays feeling that the
senate was a disappointing fea
ture of his sight-seeing tour.
tie saw the senate in session.
It was something of a letdown,
particularly after such impres
sive spectacles as the black-
robed justices or the supreme
court in their marble temple.
and the Lincoln memorial with
its life-like statue.
Not that Visitor Jones thinks
the senators failed to comport
themselves as members of "the
greatest deliberative body In the
world." It's Just that they don't
look so great.
To Jones they look Just about
the same as the fellows in the
Rotary club. And Jones recalls
reading in his boyhood of "the
frock-coated gladiators of the na
tional political arena."
In those days the early 1900's
most of the senators wore
Prince Alberts and beards.
Newspaper correspondents wore
silk hats and frock coats to the
opening session.
Thar Were The Daya
Long before the late James
"Ham" Lewis was recognized
as the senate's undisputed Sul
tnn of Sartorla, there were Beau
Brummels like Montana's Wil
liam A. Clark, "copper king"
and ex-Indian fighter, immacu
late in one-button cutaway and
striped trousers, and Mississip
pi's James K. Vardaman, mag
nificent in a white flannel suit
and white hat contrasting with
his coal black hair.
There was Jeff Davis of Ar
kansas, known as the sartorial
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the
senate. In Washington he wore
the conventional frock coat, but
by the time he reached his hills
he had on scuffed boots, a frayed
straw hat and patched pants.
Massachusetts' blue-blooded
Henry Cabot Lodge, with a perfectly-trimmed
Van Dyke and
frock coat, and South Carolina s
"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, in a
lonx blnck alpaca coat majesti
cally swinging a palm-leaf fan,
used to be sights.
In the late twenties, Senator
Lee Overman of North Carolina
wore a black cape with velvet
collars and red satin lining. And
big Tom Hoflin of Alabama em
bellished Capital Hill with a
voluminous black coat, cream
colored vest, grey trousers and
broad-brimmed black hat.
The arrival of summer In
Washington then was heralded
by Heflin's cream-colored pon
gee suit. Even Louisiana Huey
Long came to the capital with
new morning coat. '
Only Few Left
The sennte now boasts a score
or more of snappy dressers
but only along conventional,
business linrs. Tom Connally of
Texas, occasionally dons a frock
coat, and Mathew Neely of West
Virginia gives color to the sen
ate scene with suits of plaid
and green but there is nothing
today to compare with the style
of the plnk-mid-white whiskered
"Ham" Lewis of Illinois.
Gone too is Borah of Idaho,
probably the Inst of the old Ro
mans. Borah wasn't a fancy
drener but with his leonine
head and great mane of hair
he was the perfect picture of
the old time gladiator.
Visitor Jones is right the
sennte ain't what she used to be.
Seattle. Wash (UP1 A me
morial 'ibrary of nearly 1,500
books and pamphlets today hon
ors the late Marlon A. Zlon
check, "madcap congressman"
In whose suicide was found an
unexpectedly bitter and thought
ful social philosophy.
The Zionchnk Memorial Li
brary association's contributions
to the Seattle public library
deal rhirfly with social, eco
nomic and foreign-relations top
ics. At first several members
of the association wanltd to
confine the books to Marxist
lird radical material, but this
sugcftion was defeated. Most
of Zioncheck's friends believe
he would have become a mod
erate liberal had he lived
longer.
The memorial library Is not
senrrgated but is scattered
among other volumes on the
library shelves. The 1.100 books
and 320 pamphlets carry a
sticker Inside the covers bear
ing the association's stamp and
Zioncheck's suicide note. Mon
ey for purrhasw of the memo
rial library is raised virtually '
on a week to w eek basis by
card parties and entertainments.
