Hammer SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927 Night Editor-G. THOMAS McKEAN 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 blo by th Atlei ascitono 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" I is due to its unequalled writing quality, large ink capacity and durability, combined with factory service by the makers right here in Ann Arbor.

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. * * * .. ,, 11 BETSY ROSS SHOP z Rider's ft OPTICAL DEPARTMENT Lenses and Frames made To Order Reopening of the Famous Parisian School of Dances * * Optical Prescriptions Filled HALLERS State St. Jewelers Director, Mme.

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. -V. C. W. * * * 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. i -v r 1 *r I ,_~_ ., _ _ _ _, - - - - - - - - - - - - - 13 I j~g 1Aidyigwn WrrkL 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." SIX EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS Telephone 7997 325 S. 5th Avenue, Ann Arbor I The Michigan Weekly, the, newest mem- her of the Michigan student publications, has been established. The purpose of this pub- lication will be to give parents of Michigan students and other people interested in the Uni- versity a source of reliable information con- cerning University events. The Michigan Weekly will carry only ews, of campus events, sporting news and editorials from the Michigan Daily. There will be no advertising in the paper. STUDENTS!, STUDENTS! STUDENTS!
