In Order to Amend Matters, Decide to
Permit Other Candidates to
El!ter Contest.
Smoldering fires of a political nature
threatened to break into a lively blaze
at the meeting of the board of direct-
ors of the athletic association that
was held yesterday afternoon. The
meeting was called as a result of the
announcement of the nomination by
petition of two men for the office of'
interscholastic manager, which was
made late Saturday and without warn-
ing that the office was to be filled this
year.
Campus feeling, which gathered to
a head rapidly after it became known;
that the office was to be filled this
year when there was no definite assur-
ance that the interscholastic would be
held here, was responsible in no small'
measure for the calling of the meet-
ing. The sole question of debate was
that of the legality of the petitions;
but it was evident that the session
mneant a little mare- as it developed,
that the board was split into two fac-
' cns, both ;trying for the upper hand.
Want to give Fair Chance.
The constitution of the association
provides that all petitions for nom-
inations to offices that are to have
their nominees selected by this form
must be in one week before the elec-
tion. This would have masle the clos-
ing time kviday night at midnight.
However, the majority felt that as
school started only last Monday, and
the time for circulating petitions was
short at the most, it would be better
to override the constitution in order
to give all a fair chance to put up can-
didates. In fact this was unanimous-
ly agreed to'at the meeting last Thurs-
day, the board not knowing the techni-
calities of -the consyitution. However,
some of the members cf the board e-ri-
dently changed their minds in the
interim, espe'Aally after the campus
mutterings were heard regarding the
interscholastic nominations.
Upon a motion, which was carried by
a vote of three to two, the petitions
of the candidates for the prep schcol
meet managership wvere thrown out
At this juncture Director Bartelme
told the board that it would be rather
unwise not to elect a man for the office
as the meet was likely to come here
again. Accordingly the motion was
rescinded.
Try to Oust Other Nominees.
It was provided, however, that pe-
titions for this position might be re-
ceived up to Wednesday evening. This
is *unconstitutional but the major:t?
waived fine points for the sake of fair-
ness. This was exactly what the one
faction wanted. As far as could be as-
certained there is no sentiment on the
campus against the election of a man
to office but the whole bone of con-
tention lays in the fact that no publici-
ty of the proposed election for this jol
had been given out; whereas the rest
of the positions had been widely ad-
vertised.
Defeat seemed to go hard with the
opposition. Hardly had this last mo-
tion b: en j:ased by the three to two
vote, when th3 minority offered a mo-
tion to d- clare the nomination of Mor-
ris Milligan for football manager ille-
*al. It was alleged that Milligan's
nomination was unconstitutional as it
had been handed in by Captain Pater-
son 24 hours before the closing time,
whereas it should have been 48 hours
previous. Paterson, not knowing the
time requirements, kept his nomina-
tion, thus late in anticipation of more
men approaching him for an oppor-
tunity to run.
Hold Meeting Again Today.
In answer to this the majority came
forward with a bit of information that
threatened to deprive the ticket of any

Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
Inasmuch as I knew nothing
about my petition to run for the
office of interscholastic manager
until I read of it in the Daily
Sunday morning, the nomination
being entirely. without my
knowledge or consent, and be-
cause I do not propose to be
mixed up in any of the "peanut"
politics on the campus, I here-
by withdraw my name from
consideration for such office.

WATCH THE WORM TURN
The entire campus, with the excep ion of a sma ll coterie of men on the
inside, was electrified to learn through the columnis of The Michigan Daily
on Sunday morning, that men had been nominated for the office of inter-
scholastic manager. In the first place it has not yet been announced to a
certainty that there will b- an interscholaistic here this, year. Secondly,
such an officer, in the past, has been elected at the f all elections. Thirdly,
and worst of all, NO OTHER MEN WERE' VIVEN A ('JANCE TO ENTER
THE RACE, BECAUSE NO INTIMATION HAD BEEN VlVEN THE CAMPUS
THAT ANY SUCH OFFICE WAS TO BE FILLED. The men nominated
were tipped off on the quiet, and their petitions were kept quiet until it be-"
came too late for any one else to ente °.
HOW LONG IS THE CAMPUS (I01Nt TO STAN!) FO1 TACTICS OF
THIS SORT?
We predict that the old maxim "that you can't fool all the people all the
time" is due for another demonstration of its truthfulness. Such methods
may be all right for Tammany Hall, but a college campus isn't New York.
City. The worm is due for a turning.
HOW ARETHESE METHODS EXPLAINED BY THOSE WHO EM-
PLOYED THEM?
Why, simply that anyone had a right to run for this office. But you or I
or the other fellow kIew nothing about ,it, and precautions were taken that
that information didn't get out. Yet, we're members of tlie athletic associa-
tio, and members of this university, and priumiably, at least, interested in
our right .

Claiming that solicitation of votes
was practiced before the junior law
student council election yesterday af-
ternoon, Edward Kemp and Sylvan S.
Grossner, both menbers of the junior
law class, have sent a letter to the
tudent council protesting that the
election was illegal. The protest as-
serts that votes were solicited by
friends of both candidates. if the
ouncil does not allow the protest, W.
J. Laidaw who got more votes than
his opponent, G. C. Crismore will be
the new councilman for the law de-
partment. The protests will be con-
ridered at a meeting of the council to
be held tonight at 7:00 o'clock in the
oratorical rooms.
In the junior lit class election, Ar-
Chur Koehler was elected as one of
the new councilmen while Herbert
Wi!ins and Horace Maynard had tie
-otes for the other seat. Another
meeting of the class will be held this
afternoon at 4:15 o'clock in the west
Ephysics lecture room at which time the
names of these two men will be voted
upon to decide who will be the new
councilman.
Albert Fitcher and Herman J. Trum,
Jr., were elected as the new reprsen-
tatives to the council from the the
xhird year engineering class. In the
junior medic election, F. A. Laurence
was successful.
CORNELL NINE TO PLAY HERE.
.Another (amne Arringed in 11haca on
Annual Eastern Trip.
For the first time in the memory of
several generations of Michigan stu-
dents, Cornell will send a baseball
team to Ann Arbor to meet Michigan
on the diamond this spring. May 14
has beep. fixed as the date on which
the Ithacans will appear on Ferry
field, while on May 21 Michigan will
stop off at Ithaca for a game with
Cornell during the eastern trip of the
Maize and Blue nine.
A dispatch from Ithaca gave Michi-
gan students the first idea that Cor-
nell and Michigan would resume base-
ball relations again this season. This
dispatch was confirmed yesterday by
Director Bartelme. Michigan played
Cornell at Cornell during the 1911 sea-
son, but last year there was no game
arranged on Michigan's eastern trip,
for tite reason, it was stated, that the
two institutions could not agree on
dates.

Mr. Keeley was born in London. He
came to America in early life and
soon became identified with newspa-
per work. In 1898 he became associ-
ated with the Chicago Tribune and1
since that time has continuously been
connected with that publication. After1
several years of service as a member1
of the reportorial staff and an editori-7
al writer he rose to the position of;
general manager, an office he still1
holds. lHe is also vice-president of the3
Tribune publishing company.
Mr. Keeley has recently returned'
from Notre Dame where he has- had
charge of the installation of a school
of journalism. Although not a college
man himself, he has always been in-
terested in the attitude taken by uni-
versities in presenting the subject o'
journalism to their students.
This afternoon's lecture will be di-1
rected to the members of Prof. Scott's1
class in journalism but will be open to
ill who wish to attend. In the even-

Lecturer Refers to I)r. Angell Who He
Says is Authority on
Balkan Trouble.
Hon. Edwin D. Mead, one of the
world's greatest peace advocates,
spoke on "The United States as a
World Power" last night in University
Hall. His intimate relation to the
peace movement has made him the
master of his subject, and his talk was
interesting and informative. He
brought out the many instances where
the United States has led in matters
of world-wide interest.
tie spoke especially of the import-
ant part played by American univer-
sities in training young men of other
countries. He referred to Robert Col-
Lege in Constantinople where so many
of the young Bulgarian leaders have
been trained He also referred to the
very important influence the univer-
sities of this country have had on the
recent phenominal development of Chi-
na. More than half of the men in the
cabinets and councils of the new Chi-
nese republic have had their training
in American universities.
"The largest and most important
cosmopolitan club in theworld is the
United States of America," he said
"There is nothing more important in
he universities and colleges today
than this cosmopolitan club movement
in which the club of your university
has played such an important part."
About 400 attended the lecture, in-
cluding Dr. Angell, to whom Mr. Mead
referred several times in connection
with his familiarity with the Balkan
situation.
JANIARY LAW REVIEW HAS
ARTICLE BY S. S. GREGORY
S. S. Gregory, president of the
American Bar association last year
furnishes the principal article in the
January number of the Michigan Law
Review. His contribution is an address
which was delivered before the Indi-
ana State Bar association last July.,
entitled "A Historic Judicial Contro-
versy and Some Reflections Suggested
by It."
The question of directing a verdict
for the party having the burden of
proof is discussed by Prof. E. R. Sun-
derland. The second paper of a series
on "Bank Deposits and Collections" is
the work of R. J. Baker, of Philadel-
phia. Student comment on important
cases recently decided, and an alumni
legal directory complete the issue.

Musical Numbers Have Been Selected
by Those in Charge of
Competition.
When the Michigan Union opera pos-
ter contest closed at 6:00 o'cock last
evening, 13 drawings had been sub-
mitted. Nothing unlucky is expected
to happen as a result of the number
of entries reaching an even baker's
dozen-indeed, judging from the ap-
pearance of most of the productions,
this year's opera will be advertised
with the best poster ever used.
Of the 13 drawings handed in, at
least three were equal to professional
work, according to the committee in
harge of the competition, There was
just one dozen 'posters entered in the
contest last year. Although a number
of exceptionally creditable efforts
were received for the 1911 show, it is
said that the sketches submitted yes-
terday were even better. A commit-
tee of faculty judges will award the
prize for the mnost meritorious con-
tributiou later in the week.
Nearly all ,fhe music for the opera
has been picked, by the men in charge
of that competition, Prof. Wm. How-
land, Prof. A. A. Stanley, $elden Dick-
enson, '13, and Earle Moore, '12. The
three men who have had musical con-
tributions accepted are: Wil'is A.Diek-
ema, '14, Rowland Fixel, '14L,,and K.
C. 'Haven. The show will include 11
songs, besides the opening and closing
chotuses.
Arrangements have. been made to
ngage a professional dancing instruc-
tor to drill the "show girls," when
work is begun in earnest after exami-
rations. The general chairman, Phil-
p K. Fletcher, '13E, is in communica-
tion with such a man in Detroit, .ree-
->mmended by Bert St. John, and if
satisfactory arrangements can be

4clhdule of Practice Hours Given Out
by Manager Gilbert,
Beginning tonight the regular sched-
ule of practice hours for the inter-
class basketball teams will go into

According to Manager Gilbert, this

the exception of two weeks of exami-
nations, until the opening of the sea-
son late in February. Gilbert states
that teams may share their time with
each other as has been done in other
years, but that it will be necessary
for a team to have five men on the
floor in order to hold their alloted
timc.
