POLITICAL CUB Straw Vote to Be Representative Indi- cation of Broad Campaign Sentiment MICHIGAN STATE PRIMARIES TO HAVE SAME CANDIDATES Heads of both Republican and Dem- ocratic campus organizations Tuesday' issued a call for all loyal party sup- porters to come out to the polls at the. University straw vote Thursday. They indicated that the resutla of a good 'turnout would be important not only from the standpoint of evidencing campus interest in national affairs, but as a fairly representative indication of general campaign sentiment. Par- ticularly emphasized was the fact that the candidates to be voted on are those of the Michigan state primaries, thus giving students a chance to learn the real significance of these 'ominating plan is also ions made by A permanent posed of men line, should s for all new they may be uilt on the s advocating, FINAL INSTALMENT CONCLUDES SERIES OF ARTICLES ON l ASPIRANTS (Editor's Note: - This is the third and last instalment of a series of short articles covering the lives and princi- ples of the variousecandidates who will be voted upon in the campus presi- dential straw vote Thursday.

One thousand city hall court stenographers and bookkeepers went on strike' today, the municipal garbage reduction plant closed through the walkout of 400 garbage handlers and 90 per ceit of the fire- men threatened to resign unless wage advances were granted. Other groups of city employees in- cluding sewer workers, street inspect- ors, pumping station engineers and the laboratory staff of the health com- missioner's office threatened to strike unless wage advanes were granted. The city council which today reject- ed a revised budget calling for in crease' of $4,000,000 to provide salary advances for'city employees met again tonighttin an endeavor to find a way out of the financial difficulties. The city hall was picketed by strik- ing clerks and stenographers. " The police were called to preserve order after a stenographer who remained on duty was attacked. The sessions of the city council also were guarded by policemen. . I P L I I . (By Edna Lucking Apel) The flute, 'cello, and harp, manipu- lated by virtuosi individually famous on their respective instrum/Ats 'com- bined to make the Trio de Lutece which played last evening in Hill au- ditorium. a rare novelty capable of rivaling if not surpassing any sim- ilar organization on the musical rost- er. The trip consisting of George Bar- rere, flutist, Carlos Sazado, harpist, and Lucie Schmitt, 'cellist, played a beautifully interpreted program that was harmoniously in unison. These musicians are equally as well in in. dividual solo numbers as in ensemble. They have a true sense of unanimity of sym'pathy towards each other and also towards the interpretation of the particular number on the music rack. The harp with its melodious rolling thirds, sweeping harmonic, and me- odic scale passages forming a founda- tion for the deep resonances of the 'cello themes, and the flute with its delightfully and daintily clear ringing trills and soaring birdlike calls can make no more enjoyable musical com- binations conceivable. Such an interesting deviation from the ordinary type of concert as the Trio de Lute'e will result, no doubt; in a popujr demand for similar rep- etitions of this kind of music.

CANDIDATES' LIVES, PRINCIPLES, TOLD story; otherwise, The Daily has com- piled the data. Today's candidates are Wood, . Poindetxer, McAdoo, and Bryan.) WOOD W (By William Herbert Hobbs)4 Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Republi- can candidate, has achieved an inter- national reputation as soldier, as ad- .ministrator, and as the man who led the preparedness movement during the greatest crisis of our history. He is not a graduateof WestPoint, and is not in any sense a. militarist. His program called for the smallest standing army that was advocated by anyone. He is intensely sympathetic and .human in all his relations to those under his command. He is no autocrat, but believes that our first duty is the restoration of civ- il government under the Constitution. He sacrificed his career in the army in order to warn his country of its per- il, and when putlished for so doing, .he made no complaint but set to work to win the war by both precept and example. Though in the face of official oppo- sition he advocated sending armies to Europe to save civilization, and is most sympathetic with our European Allies. He is opopsed to meddling ht those European affairs which do not concern us. He favors the League of Nations as Americanized by the Lodge reservations, and he believes in rati- fying the Peace Treaty without fur- ther delay, so that industry both here and abroad .may be put upon its feet at the earliest possible moment. He put down the race riots at Oma- ha and the steel strike riots led by "reds" at Gary with firmness but with tact and patience and without firing a shot, and he did it in such a way as to win the respect of the laboring men. He is a great executive and admin- istrator. His work as governor of Cubarhas'been declared by competent experts, as the most remarkable exam- ple of colonial administration in all history. He surrounds himself with the strongest available men, delegates large powers of initiative and control to each, and demands results. He was the closest personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt and, possesses many of the Roosevelt qualities.' POINDEXTERE Miles Poindexter, Republican candi- date, was born at Memphis, Tenn., April 22, 1868. He received his LL.B. from Washington and Lee university in 1891, .and moved to Walla Walla, Wash., where he practiced law and be- came county prosecuting attorney. He later removed to Spokane, served as judge of the superior court, and was elected to congress from 1909-1911. He served in the United States senate from 1911-1917, and was re-elected for the term 1917-1923.

ORATORY CONTEST 'WON BY GOSHKIN Speaks on Tense Situation in Russia, Makibg Earnest Plea for Tolerance McKINNEY AND IDA GRATTON MAKE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION Speaking from his inmost convic- tions and pleading for a fair treat- ment of his country, Russia, J. J. Goshkin, '22L, won the 30th annual Michigan oratorical contest last night in University Hall. Second place was awarded to C. T. McKinney, '21, and honorable mention given to Ida E. Gratton, '20. presents Powerful Appeal With a powerful appeal to look upon his countrymeni struggling for inde- pendence against tyranny and against anarchy, with generosity and tolerance during 4the period of their troubles, Goshkin won every hearer in his speech. for a tolerant attitude toward Russia. Beginning' with a graphic ac- count of massacres and bloodshed at the hand of an autocratic govern- ment, which he himself had witnessed during his youth, the speaker told of the ignorance and poverty of the Russian people and of 'their attempts at freedom without bloodshed. Gosh- kin proved that. they had not been traitors to the Allied cause but that the Allies had deserted them in their hour of greatest need.

Intolerance Discussed Ida Gratton 1poke of "Intolerance in America" and how it would affect present social problems, saying, that the solution of the labor problem lies in a greater tolerance toward all classes. E. W. Dunn, '22L, spoke of the "red" problem in "Disciples of American- ism," and the methods of settling it, centering his argument on a better treatiiient of our foreign population. P. H. Scott, '22, brought out in his speech on "The Dollar and the Wo'k- er," the necessity of less extrava- gance and defended labor rights.
