Cordial

One of the strangest pieces of mail which Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the U. S. Vice-President-Reject, has ever received, was a letter which he gleefully showed to colleagues last week. The letter warmly, sincerely, personally thanked Mr. Robinson for "the cordial support you gave me in the campaign." It was signed by Charles Curtis, the Vice-President-Elect. Senator Curtis laughed as hard as anyone. No one in the Senate needed to be told how it is that such slips occur when one answers each & every one of one's congratulaters after an election by warm, sincere, personal form-letters.
