This is the fourthof five stories on secretaries to congressmen— the persons who bear the brunt of the mail that now pours in on representatives and senators. By R11.1.A SCHROKDKR Washington, May 28 —Members of congress whose districts are situated west of the Mississippi are the envy of their colleagues. INot that the easterners and south easterners have such a yearning for the wide open spaces hut such dis tricts are comfortably far off. And bus or train fare to Washington is ex pensive. Members of state!) inconveniently near Washington soon learn the trick of locking their doors at an early hour. It is their only chance of get ting their work done. Try to arouse the offiee of Senator Millard Tydinga of Maryland after 11 o’clock in the morning. Unless you know the secret knock it simply can’t he done. Too Many ('alters Tt is a curious trait of the Ameri can voter that once tie has marked his ballot for a man, he believes he owns a part of that individual. He “voted for him" and, consequently, ihas a right to take up as much of the congressman’s time as he likes. Constituents delight to visit their representative in Washington. They delight to drop in at las offiee and, "staying for just a few minutes,” re main the greater oars of the morning or afternoon. Once inside the office door if they are refused the privilege of an in terview they become angry. And an angry constituent can make an aw ful lot of trouble hack home. Merely the rumor that Congressman So-and- Soi has gone high hat and is refus in'- to sec hi. constituents is enough to send the member back to his pri vate law practice or grocery business, whatever his pre-election trades or profession might have been. When a Voter Insists A congressman may duck into his inner office, leaving instructions no to be disturbed while he works on a speech or dictates his mail. But the secretary in the outer sanctorum knows when a constituent insists that it is good business to yield. Early in the game a good secretary learns to know certain dodges that will protect the boss’ privacy. He can he in committee or “at the depart ments”. The constituent may he ap peased by this. The constituent may elect to sit and chat with the secretary for a time, awaiting the congressman’s “return.” If so, the unfortunate law maker has to stay immured in his private office until the voter gives up and goes elsewhere. Ao Good Dodge The “at the department” dodge al ways is good. It gives the constitu ent the idea that the congressmen is out on nis business, seeing cabinet of ficers and such. Committee aren’t so hot. The idea doesnt’ paint so vivid a picture of a busy man. Con ferences, of course, are “out.” Even the most gullible constituent knows that is a familiar dodge of business men. The constituent probably has used it himself. Spring is the hunting season of constituents. Train and bus loads of them arrive in Washington and the first spot they make for is the eapt tol Desire to See Mrs. Roosevelt School children are the easiest sat isfied. A card to tone of the galleries makes them happy. But a few in sist that their congressman arrange an “‘interview with Mrs. Roosevelt" or even the president. Representa tive Isabella Greenway of Arizona is known to have been a bridesmaid of the First Lady’s. Her constituents believe this should give them a spe cial entree to the White House. Representative Caroline O’Pay lives with Secretary of Labor Frances ins. Tliis, her constituents : believe should make arranging an interview with the rather inaccessible head of the labor department an easy matter for her. Dozens of visitors from Ari zona and New York call upon these two congresswomen with those pur poses in mind. Delegations Are Difficult Introduction of a hill, any hill, lays a member open to call from delega tions opposing or supporting his mea sure. Delegations are the hardest to turn away. And they take up moie time. They want to thresh the mat ter out, pro and con. And they won’t take “no” for an answer. Introduc ing a hill really is a dangerous busi ness, as learned by Representative John Steven McGroarty of California, author of the Townsend Measure Al though from the far distant coast Mc- Groarty’s office has a steady stream of Townsendites pasisng through its doors. And those doors are one of those closed early in the day in the busy part of the session. The responsibility of deciding who shall see the congressman and who is to go away disappointed is part of the. secretary’s job. He must learn to separate the important visitor from the “just caller.” He (or she) must learn when to call the congressman off the f.oor for a chat or when to say he is “at the departments”. If the secretary knew every man, woman and child in the congressman’s district the task stil would be a difficult one. graham campaign NOW SATISFACTORY Dally Dispatch Rureaa, In the Sir Walter Hotel, BY £. c. raskervili.. Raleigh, May 28. —Lieuetenant Gov ernor A. H. Graham, one of the four announced candidates for governor, was a visitor here Monday and stop ped to pass the time of day with his friends in and about the capitol.

C.) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, MAY -28, 198 S BIDS OPENED FOR 0 Contracts Prepared for New Motorcycles for Enlarged Highway Body liutif Oinpateb Bureaa, in tlie Si- Wiiiter Hotel, ItV J. C. B4BKERVII.L, Raleigh, May 28.—Bids were open ed here this morning on the new equipment for the enlarged State Highway aPtrol and the contracts will probably be awarded tomorrow, or as soon as all the ibids can be tabulated and the low ones determined, accord ing to Director A. &. Brower,, of the Division of Purchase and Contract The bids opened today were on all of the equipment r.c.d.u for the patrol with the exception of 28 automobiles and on the radio equipment. Bids for the 28 automobiles will be called for in the next letting, to be held June 11. No date has been set yet for the receiving of bids on the radio equip ment, Brower said. The largest item in today’s letting was the bid on 103 motorcycles. 52 of them to be equipped with side cars, provided it is decided to use side cars. Capt. Charles D, Farmer, of the highway patrol, said it had not yet been decided whether to use side cars or not, but that the bids were asked for in order to find out how much more. it would cost to get the side-cars. The bids were to be sub mitted both with and without side rars. “Some highway patrol use the side cars in bad weather only, when it is too dangerous to send men out on motorcycles alone,’’ Capt. Farmer said “But we have so little bad weather here that we may not try to use motorcycles and side-cars at all. We just wanted to find out how much more it would cost if we should de cide to use the side-cars.’ The 28 automobiles to foe purchas ed later and which will be driven by the lieutenants, sergeants and cor porals, will all be roadsters, Captain Farmer said, pointing out that the patrolmen must be able to see about them on alVsides and that coupes or closed cars would not allow sufficient visibility for patrol work. Bids were also opened today on 242 uniforms and 121 caps, belts, holsters Sam Brown (belts, revolvers, boots, leather coats, badges, hand.cuffs, and other equipment needed for the 111 patrolmen. Delivery is expected by July 1 or perhaps even a little before that date. 1 Hector Bolito, noted English auth or, born in New Zealand, 37 years ago.
