PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
Out of the foggy haze that sur-
rounds national politics and political
affairs dim rumblings are beginning
to sound. Within a year the classic
of all national politics will be re-
enacted. when the presidential nomi-
nations and elections take place, and
with the withdrawal of President Cool-
idge from the contest the race for the
nomination, in both major parties
should be certainly interesting.
It is, of course, far too early to pre-
dict who will be nominated and elect-
ed, but amoiig all of the candidates
in the Republican party one stands
out so distinctly thus far that were
the convention to be held tomorrow
even the politicians would be forced
to bow to the popular demand. That
man is Herbert Hoover.
With a brilliant record behind him
since his return to the United States;
a still more brilliant record in the
past as a mining engineer and busi-
ness man; the present secretary of
commerce looms indeed as a fornlid-
able prospect. The principal diffi-
culty which Hoover will have to face
is the opposition of the professional
politicians, for he is decidedly not a
politician. In either 1920 or 1924 he
could perhaps have taken the nomi-
nation with some degree of deft
maneuvering, and both times he fail-
ed. His success next year will de-
pend upon how powerful a group of
men he can rally to his Support, and
with Will Hays and Senator Moses
of New Hampshire already in the van,
his prospects are far from dark. If
America is to chhoose her president
by means entirely divorced from pro-
fessional politics, for sheer ability,
the nation could do little better than
choose Hoover.
Then, perhaps second in import-
ance in the Republican ranks, is ex-
Governor Lowden of Illinois. A great
industrialist who has successfully
posed as the champion of the agricul-
tural interests, Mr. Lowden will have
a real issue in his support with the
farm relief measure. Already Iowa
and Illinois are probably safe in the
Lowden column. He has an advan-
tage, also, in the attitude of the pro-
fessional politicians, who feel pretty
generally that the ex-governor of Illi-
nois received a "raw" deal in the
convention of 1920, which, by the way
is true. His age, 67 years, contrasted
let in the United States. But Long-
worth lacks most of all a really bril-
liant record. He has been capable
and efficient, to be sure, but not spec-
tacular or brilliant, and the family
name of Roosevelt, while worth a
great deal, can not completely over-
come that handicap.
Then there is the mid-western pro-
gressive block, which bolted to Sena-
tor LaFollette in 1924 and which will
undoubtedly support a mid-westerner
of the same opinions in the next con-
vention. Senator Norris of Nebraska,
Vice-President Dawes, or even Sena-
tor Borah is a likely candidate from
this group, and while their first effect
will be little more than to cut the
Lowden strength, in a deadlocked con-
vention, if they gain the balance of
power, a great many things can hap-
pen. There are also rumors to the
effect that Dawes will support Low-
den in the earlier ballots, in return
for a Lowden promise to shift to him
in the event that Lowden himself can1
not be nominated.
Finally, and imposing, is Charles
Evans Hughes. The former Supreme
Court justice and secretary of state
would be eminently satisfactory to the
financial interests of the East, and
already Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon has come out openly in his
support. The Hughes boom, however,
is discounted by the fact that he is
nearly as old as Lowden, and also
by the fact that he can not possibly
pose as a compromise candidate in
the event of a deadlock. Nevertheless
the support of New. York state in a
Republican convention is too power-
ful a factor to be ignored.
The Democratic candidates do not
line themselves up with anywhere
near the celarness of the Republicans.
William Gibbs McAdoo has withdrawn,
and it is absurd to believe thatthe Ku
Klux Klan element of the party will
allow the avowed candidacy of Gov-
ernor Al Smith of New York to go un-
opposed. If Smith is nominated, and
Hoover is the standard bearer of the
Republicans, it is entirely possible
that the previously solid South would
be split wide open, for Hoover enjoys
tremendous popularity south of the
Mason-Dixon line since his flood re-
lief program.
Far more likely, however, the nomi-
nee of the Democrats will be some as
yet unnamed westerner, who can take
the issues of farm relief and the tariff
into.the campaign. Whatever the
case, the withdrawal of Calvin Cool-
idge has left national politics in the
most interesting position they have
assumed since 1916.
THE MICHIGAN WEEKLY I
With few exceptions, the parents of
Michigan students are very much in-
terested in the events taking place
on the campus. It is similarly true
that they learn very little about the
University from the personal corre-
spondence going out of Ann Arbor.
Students, while for the most part,
willing to keep their parents inform-
ed, find it impossible to relate the
great number of events which take
place weekly.
With the establishment of the Mich-
igan Weekly, an excellent opportunity
has been offered whereby persons out-
side Ann Arbor may keep in touch
with events on the campus. This pub-
lication issued every Monday during
the school year carries the most im-
portant stories, editorials, music, thea-
ter and books articles, and humor
column run by The Daily during the
preceding week. Because of an ar-
rangement under which The Weekly
utilized the same lead used to print
the daily publication, the subscription
cost is unusually low.
Already many students have taken
advantage of this service in regard
for their parents' interests in the
University, and it deserves the serious
consideration of other members of the
University.
TEN YEARS
Ten years have wrought an im-
mense change in the annals of man-
* kind. A decade ago the first Ameri-
can troops were going into battle on
the Western front to enact a chapter
in the greatest struggle humanity has
ever experienced, and this week many
of thoose same men, ten years older,
closed their American Legion conven-
tion in Paris.
That France has not forgotten the
- khaki clad youths that staved the
hostile tide in 1917 has been proved
time and again while the men of the
Legion were in Paris. Poincare, Dou-
mergue, Foch, and dozens of other
leaders extending in flowing terms the
welcome of the nation, and the threats
of reprisals by communists, made be-
fore the legionnaires landed, have ut-
- terly failed to materialize.
That the convention could have
been held so successfully in a foreign
- capital, and that the American dough-
boys, returning after ten years could
, have received such an enthusiastic
I reception, is concrete proof of the fine
tio gae av bendatnte

DEAH '0 Q
HAHVAHD
The long-suffering alumni of our
ex-opponent for the stadium dedica-
tion game have been dealt another
blow by 'the Athletic association of
that long-hallowed and ha-haed in-
stitution of learning.
* * *
The nominal price of $6 per seat
will be charged to witness the Har-
vard "football" team in each of its
home encounters. To Y ale men, at
least, it ought to be well worth the
price.
With the new system of prices in
effect, the Harvard Athletic associa-
tion ought to make some attempt to
entertain the spectators. In fact they
ought to be able to put on quite an
elaborate program in addition to the
so-called football encounter. By all
means, they should make a real ef-
fort to repay those valiant alumni
who are standing by the old alma
mater through thick and thin.

CAMPUS CHATTERINGS
"Next to our own recent de-
plorable situation," reclared the
thoughtful Senior, "my idea of
the world's most miserable fig-
ure is a Harvard alumnus at the
j homecoming game."
THEATER
BOOKS
MUSIC
Beginning with this issue of The
Daily, the initials of the author of
each article will appear at its .con-
clusion. This has been necessitated
by several misunderstandings in the
past. The editor of this column,
while responsible, is not the author
of all matter appearing in this col-
umn but is assisted by members of
the staff of the paper. This will ex-
plain certain inconsistencies in style
which may have been noted in the
past, and prevent further error in
identity.
THE EXTRA CONCERT SERIES
There are always a few concerts
you will never forget. Ann Arbor will
remember Jeritza as she sang three
years ago, and Tibet in the Festival
that year; Schumann-Heink's concert
of two years- ago is another and Pon-
selle's in last year's Festival. Gigli's
singing in the opening concert of the
Choral Union on October 7 should be
another portrait for this gallery.
I have only heard him once in re-
cital, and that was in Chicago four
years ago and he sang tjo arias
from "I Pagliacci"; one of them was
"Masterpen"

combined with factory service by the makers right here in Ann Arbor.

SAYS TO CORI THE COED
One of those critics enrolled on
the women's staff stole a march on us
the other day in our efforts to en-
liven current issues of The Daily, and
passed off, a bit of would-be humor
back on the Women's page.
* * * 4
Not that we're offended by her ef-
forts, for we're not proud at all of
this job, not a bit. Bit since she has
been intruding on our province, it
seems that there should be no objec-
tion, on the grounds of chivalry or
such, to our attempting to pass com-
ment on her high-powered statements.
* * *
The subject of beauty on the campus
is a more or less delicate topic. And
even though Cora the Coed has rush-
ed in where we and angels fear to
tread and without, as yet, any dis-
astrous results,. we are inclined to let
her have the field to herself.
* * *
There's .no use in a mere man being
foolhardy on the subject of women,
even though hiding under a nom de
plume. No matter how low the run of.
the campus femininity, there are al-
ways a large percentage of the more
ethereal and pulchritudinous of the
lot who will object strenuously to un-
worthy comment on their less desir-
able sisters.
* * *
And so, in an institution such as
this, where the batting average would
scarcely be the subject of boasting at
the old folk's home, it behooves the
cautious man to moye warily,. and let
the more- foolhardy .tread where they
will.

ROLLS FRESHMEN WEEK
Today's ProgramC
8:00-12:00-Campus information
test.
1:00-5:00-Special program, un-
der the auspices of Harry
Tillotson and the Athletic
association.
** *
Displaying the true beneficient
magnitude of his character, Harry
Tillotson has planned an afternoon
for the Frosh that would do credit to
the record of any ticket agent in the
country.
First the Freshmen will meet and
proceed to the new stadium. Fifty
yard line seats will be assigned to
all. And then will come a program
depicting every event of an actual
Michigan football contest.
* * *
Players dressed in full uniform will
run through a series of signal, pass-
ing and kicking drills. Men in cast-
off uniforms will give the impression
of an opposing team. Varsity cheer-
leaders will lead in songs and yells.
* * *
The fighting Varsity band will pa-j
rade the field, to the stirring strains
of "The Victors." And then, led by the
"Grand Old Man" himself, the teams
will dash out onto the field and en-
gage in a fifteen minute scrimmage
for the Rolls Freshman Week trophy.,
* * *
Harry Tillotson, sponsor of the
afternoon, is most enthusiastic over
the program. "It is a justification of
the Athletic association," lie exclaim..
ed, "and this is one Freshman class
"Vesti Ia Giuba." It is difficult to
isolate arias from their opera and
still invest them with interest and
power; few tenors can do it. Of
course."Vesti la Giuba" is wonderfully
dramatic in itself, but Gigli caught in
it one trick I have never heard dupli-
cated. He began Canio's frenzied
laugh in a violent crescendo that fin-
ally fell away to a sob. It was one of
the few times I have been in an au-
dience that forgot to applaud, but
there wasn't a sound in the house
when he finished.
In his voice there is something
sensuous and clinging that perhaps
etplains his peculiar appeal-it fas-
cinates you like Lucrezia Bori's trick of
swaying and shutting her eyes when
she sings. As I have said, it is not
the greatest tenor voice at the Metro-
politan-Crooks and Martinelli are
both better, and Caruso was-but he
is the greatest artist of the three.
And that is the greatest and most
pertinent quality-if you call it that-
that a singer can possess.

GIFTS FROM THE GREEKS
The University has appropriated
$75,000 for a new organ for Palmer
Christian, and there must be some-
thing in the power of prayer. The
Frieze Memorial organ in Hill audi-
torium has been getting by on the
strength of a glorious past for the
last three years, but it was getting to
a state where monkey glands were
impractical and ineffectual. And the
installation of a new cathedral organ
has been at the end of Mr. Christian's
letter to Santa Claus for some time.
Not that anything was radically
wrong with the present instrument,
but it was becoming almost archaic,
when the progress in the field is con-
sidered. Mr. Frieze's pride and joy
might have been the latest trick at the
World's Fair in 1893, but the mauve
decade and its bustles and gay ways
is now too definitely in the past. There'
are new -provisions for orchestral ef-.
fects-such as you hear on Reginald
Foort's records on the new Wana-
maker organ.
The contract has been let to Skinner'
and company, and full provision has
been made for all this. There is to be
complete orchestral voicing for tubas,
. trumpets and the loud reeds. Not
that it is too cheapened to any extent
to include sleigh bells pr a xylophone.
But Mr. Christian can now do any-
thing from Wagner's Waldweben or
Handel and Bach to De Falla and
Strawinsky.

The Parents' Paper
INDORSED BY
PRESIDENT LITTLE
"I think the idea of the pro-
posed Michigan Weekly is a
very good one and hope that it
may meet with success. It
seems to me calculated to keep
those who have an interest in
the University, but do not live
in Ann Arbor, in ,touch with af-
fairs here in a very sensible and
efficient way. I know that there
must be many parents of Michi-
gan students and many alumni
who would appreciate such a
paper as the students have in
mind to publish."
