WASHINGTON S*
LETTEKOTi
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON. May 17.—The
name “Gillette” in Massachusetts
means safety in more than razors.
It means safety, also, in Republi
can politics.
For Frederick Huntington Gil
lette of Springfield, who is always
meant in Massachusetts when the
name “Gillette” is mentioned, has
a record of 16 unbroken victories
in campaigns for Congress.
Being “sane” as well as “safe,”
it was inevitable that this long ten
ure should make him one of the G.
O. P. powers not only in Massachu
setts but in Congress. As a result
of which he ha presided, as speak
er, over the last three Congresses;
a dignified, proper, conservative
presiding officer, such as might be
expected from precise Massachus
setts.
* » *
Now, however, the peaceful cer
tainty of re-election to Congress
from his home district is to ba
abandoned. The certainty of an
other term as speaker, in case a
Republican Congress is elected this
fall, is to be foregone in an at
tempt to wrest from David Ignatius
Walsh, Decocrat, the Senatorial
seat the state must fill this fall.
Instead of a gentlemanly cam
paign in his home city of Spring
field and environs, Gillette must*
plunge into a state-wide campaign
that promises to be one of the bit
terest and most bloody battles
waged in New England since the
Revolu*' : on.
* * *
Gillette is notmaking this change
whollp from choice. As speaker of
the House he has more power and
parquisites than he would have as
a simple senator.
But with Calvin Coolidge, the fa
vorite son of Massachusetts, lead
ing the Republican national ticket
this year! the posibility that Walsh
a Democrat, may win re-election tc
the Senate is enough to throw G.
0. P. leaders into chills and a cold
sweat every time they think of it.
•* * *
William M. Butler, who was first
slated to make the fight against
Walsh, was chosen by President
Coolidge to manage his election
campaign. That puts him out of
the senatorship race. He will have
his hands full with the national cam
paign.
Channing Cox. Republican gover
nop of the Bay State, was then ap
proached. Cox decided he didn’t
care for the honor.
Whereupon Frederick Willianj
Dallinger, a member of Congress
from Cambridge, announced he
would make the race. -
* * ♦
Dallinger’s announcement, how
ever, didn’t satisfy Coolidge and
other party leaders. They doubted
his ability to put the skids under
Walsh.
For one thing, Dallinger is an
ardent and active “dry.” Next to
Wayne Wheeler and Upshaw of
Georgia, he’s the dryest dry in
Washington.
And while it is desired that the
Massachusetts candidate for the
Senate be pledged to uphold the
constitution, it is not considered
necessary for him to single out
specifically the eighteenth amend
ment as the part to be. upheld most
zealously.
* * *
On the heels of Dallinger’s an
nouncement, Gillette was called to
see Coolidge. On the heels of his
White House call, he announced he
would run for the Senate.
Undoubtedly, Gillette’s candidacy
will have the full support of the
old line leadership in the G. O. P.
He is the one man with whom they .
will feel safe. But even with Gil
lette, they admit it may be a clos j
shave.
Pete is just a common purp, who,
some time, must have strayed. He
drifted into my back yard adopted
me, and stayed. I guess, perhaps,
he knew that I was fond of such as
he, and he sort of figured he had
best get kinda fond of me.
I like the outdoors, so does Pete,
and every morn you’l find m -aetrail

ing through the woods and dells i
while Pete trails ’long behind me.
I chatter with the Tittle birds while
Pete just stops to whine. Perhaps
he’d like to chase them—but he
knows they’re friends of mine. >
I’ve often wished that Pete
could talk; I wonder what he’d say.
No doubt, just words of friendship,
’cause he always looks that way.
His eyes do more than give him
light; they give me light as well,,
and they make me understand the
things tiiat Pete can never tell.
Just dog—that’s Pete—and yet
to me he means more <in the ,en<:'
than camouflaging humans, for he
really is my friends. No credit
