OPEN LETTE, ASSIL
CAMIGNING OF VARE
)iRIN(GS SEll1(US A(TUSAT1ON S
OF PEIRCHASE AN) rTIFr
OF SENATE VOTE
FAVORS OUSTING OF VARE
Urges Natioial C'oiniittee To Prevent
Vare Froii Taking I Seat When
Selate Meets Next Month
Asserting that Vare won his elec-
tion to the Senate by "the purchase
and theft of votes," former governor
Qfford Pinchot, in an open letter sent
this morning to William M Butler
chairman of the Republicn 'lationa
committee, assailed the Vare machine
in Philadelphia, and urged the Na-
tio l committee to use its influence in
preventing Vore from taking his seat
when th6 Se"ate convenes in Decem-
ber.
"The fradilent character of Mr.
Vare's nomination and election is
neither accidenta1 nor excel cnal,
the letter read&. "This is not a iso-
lated case. 1rchase and theft are
normal in elections under the Vare
machine, and premeditated murder for
political phrposes is not unknown."
5 Lettr tharges Fraud.
The letter further alleges that the
fraudl from iyh~hVare seeks to pro-
fit has not eased, even in the face of
the Senate comnngittee investigation.
At the primary in Philadelphia last
eptember, Pinchot alleges, there was
less stealing than usual because of
the fear of certain new election laws,
"but that fear speedily wore off, and
at the November- election the Vare
machine, unrepentent and unashamed,
returned to its regular practices."
The letter proceeds to quote figures
showing the tremendous sums of
mponey spent by Vare in comparison
with the sums spent by other men in
the election. The letter finally con-
cludes by coming directly to the point
at issue-whether or not Vare should
be seated in the Senate.
Pinchot admits thatthe fear on the
part of the Republicans of being un-
able to organize the Senate may prove
so strong that they will seat the Re-
publican Vare rather than consider his
case on its sheer merits.,
Pinchot Stresses fllnoortauce.
"No political windfall," Pinchot
states in conclusion, "Whether tem-
porary or permanent, whether in the
organization of the Senate or in the
support of, powerful leaders in the
greatest Republican\ state, can offset
the cost of yielding to the wrong in
matters which go straight to the heart
of American institutions.
"If the R14tiblican party rises to
the level of its great responsibility in
this crucial matter it will strengthen
itself before the people of.all parties.
But if its ,responsible leaders, lost in
the maze of legal pechnicalities and
straited excuses, lead the party as-
tray, then it and they will be held re-
sponsible for having betrayed the fund-
amental principles of our government
and thrown in their lot with those
who degrade our institutions by the
purchase of elections and the theft of
votes."
LANSING.-William C. O'Keef of
Saginaw was appointed probate judge
of Saginaw county by Governor Green.
He succeeds Emil A. Tessin resigned.

DAVIS CITES ODDITIES'
'of VRINASCHOOLS!
Virginia Has Seien Year Grade School
( .ourse, No lhiderga teum Aim1
Tuition III high School
GIVES RESULTS OF SURVEY
Citing the pecularities of the school
system of Virginia disclosed in the re-
cent state-wide sigrvey of the second-
ary schools of that state, Prof. Calvin
0. Davis spoke to the Men's Educa-
tional club, meeting Monday night at
the Union. Professor Davis was a
member of the committee which madeI
the survey and he spent 17 days in
field work.
The idea of school surveys is not
new, according to Professor Davis, as
they were probably originated by
Charlemagne when he made the first
recorded tests of the ability of a
teaching staff. 'Today,. such surveys
are very popular and are more or less
expensive depending largely on what.
the survey expects to diclose.
Virginia's school system differs
from Michigan's in that it has a seven-
year elementary course, and no kinder-
garten, separate schools for negroes,
and tuition fees in high schools. The
practice of charging the students a
monthly fee for high school education
has been the main reason for the sur-
prising decrease in the respective en-
rollments of the seventh and eighth
grades, said Professor Davis.

T *st rndred Years"
By 0. W. STEPHENSON
tit the birth and growth of a city or town is found a fascinating story . . .. a
story of struggles, strife, triumphs and disappointments. And the story of
Ann Arbor the first hurnred years is no exception. Carefully written and
developed from facts obtained by much research, 0. W. Stephenson's book,
"Ann Arbor, The First Hundred Years," brings to you a delightfully realistic
picture of Ann Arbor as it was. And the facts contained therein are not
presented in a "dry as dust" manner as so many similar works are found
to be. Rather, the book engages your undivided attention as it swiftly
unfolds the story of Ann Arbor-its life in all its phases.
The writing and publishing of this book was made possible through the civ:c
spirit of the Ann Arbor Chambe of Commerce. This history was written
to mark the 100th year of Ann Arbor's life, the centennial'year being 1924.
"Ann Arbor, The First Hundred Years," costs but $5 a copy. It is well
worth the price asked as a reference book and as a book to read for pure
entertainment.
To know your city, you should know its history and here is the opportunity
to gain that knowledge. Now! Orders are being received for this book
