pel Michigan To Win
National Championship.
1 HE MICHIGAN team leaves today
j . for Minnesota to :[ace one of the
most difficult games of the season. While the
ichigan eleven is decidedly the favorite, there
e several factors that may give Minnesota the
. ige-
In the first place, Minnesota is the under-dog.
t has been defeated twice this fall by Big Ten
teams. Its fight will be one of desperation.
The Michigan squad, on the other hand, is quite
ntkaturally over-confident. With a Big Ten and
isossibly a national championship within its grasp
Minnesota will be regarded as another "set-up,"
The weather, if it continues cold, will act in
favor of the Gophers. The Norsemen are accus-
tfomed to play in freezing weather and on a field
t hat is covered with snow. There have been few
times when the Michigan team has had the op-
portunity to practice on a frozen field.
We wish to urge those who are interested in
tahe outcome of the game to be present at Angell
fall this afternoon and give the team a send-off.
According to authorities, a rousing send-off can do
more to put a team in the proper psychological
frame of mind than can a two-hour lecture by
the head coach himself.
If the student body is present at the rally
today to see the team embark for its Northern
tp, we are confident that, in spite of the factors
working against Michigan, we will win another
+all game.
So learn the "Victors."
Michigan Will Share
In The Spoils.. ..
HE ELECTORS of Michigan decid-
ed upon a "new deal" last Tuesday.

For the first time since the Civil War the state
cast its electoral vote for a Democratic president.
Precedent was further broken in the election of a
Democratic governor and, most of all, in the selec-
tion of a Democratic legislature. In addition, the
voters declared themselves opposed to the continu-
ance of Prohibition and decided that they wanted
a limitation of the property tax.
The complete overturn of party control was the
greatest job the people of the state have accomp-
lished within recent years. Michigan politics will
be healthier for the complete overturn of party
control. For years, the electorate had voted as
their fathers and grandfathers had and returned
majorities for the Grand Old Party. When the
poils were divided Michigan found itself out in
the cold. The Republicans were sure of carrying
he state and, consequently, paid little heed to it.
ichigan was marked down in the books as

governor make requests of a Democratic presidente
than it would be for a Republican executive to do
so. Further, Mr. Comstock is one of the nation'sc
leading exponents of the St. Lawrence waterwayI
construction. He forced the waterway platforms
through at Chicago despite the aggressive opposi-
tion of the eastern party leaders. Mr. Rooseveltf
will not turn a deaf ear to Mr. Comstock's appealsN
for the waterway construction.
No Democrat could have been so optimistic be-
fore the election as to suppose that his party
would capture control of the legislature. Mr.i
Comstock, in one of his latter campaign speechest
reminded the electorate that he, as governor,c
would face a hostile legislature. Nevertheless, his
party will control that body. Mr. Comstock, thus,
with a friendly legislature and an administrative
board controlled by his party, has an opportunity
to carry through a program all his own. The peo-
ple have given the Democrats complete control.
If they fail, they will have no legitimate excuse.
The one "fly in the ointment" to the Demo-
crats is their failure to capture the secretary of
state post, after they had placed their nominees
in all other major offices. The vote accorded Mr.
Fitzgerald was amazing. Running 150,000 ahead
of his ticket, he was paid a great complment by
the voters. He will be the logical choice of his
party for the governorship in 1934. Of course,
several factors besides his own popularity, played
a part in Mr. Fitzgerald's triumph. Many Re-
publicans must have realized that their represen-
tation at the next national convention would be
determined by the vote cast for the secretary of
state. They must have remembered that Gover-
nor Brucker and his secretary were working under
strained relations to each other throughout the
last administration. But the loss of the post is a
sorry one to the Democrats, for it controls pat-
ronage to a greater degree than any other state
office.
The speakership of the next house will probably
fall to Martin Bradley of Menominee, one of the
two Democratic members of the last house. Mr.
Bradley's elevation might be contested by Tracy
Southworth of Monroe, the other member of the
old house. Mr. Southworth's proximity to Detroit
might give him the edge, but Mr. Bradley is the
more mature of the two and has had greater leg-
islative experience.
The passage of the repeal amendment has left
the state in a turmoil, with a division of the
question of the ,state's position on prohibition
after Dec. 8. Eventually, the whole problem will
be left to the new Democratic legislature. The
new tax limitation amendment, however, presents
the gravest problem and further discussion of that
measure will be made in these columns.
Editorial Comment
DORMS ARE REAL THREAT
TO FRATERNITY WELFARE
Alarmed by the possibility that Reconstruction
Finance Corporation funds may be sought by the
University board of regents for the building of
men's dormitories on the campus, the Interfra-
ternity Council last night began a study of the
housing situation here. A committee will deter-
mine the probable effect of new dormitories upon
organized houses and boarding houses which now
are struggling to keep open.
The situation is quite obvious without the in-
vestigation whose results will be presented to the
regents before they are advised on the availability
of government funds for dormitory construction.
The "probable effect" of any men's dormitories
that might be built before depression is definitely
behind us, would be disastrous.
It does not follow from the facts government
funds may be available and men are in need of
work that dormitories must be constructed. And
because Lewis and Clark halls, campus women's
dormitories have not killed off sororities it doesn't
follow that the proposed new living quarters would
leave fraternities as they are. Lewis and Clark
halls have been running a long time; the extent to
which they take women who otherwise would live
in organized or boarding houses is established
and static. Men's dormitories would mean an un-
expected blow from which fraternities would be
a long,long time in recovering.
As a matter of self-defense, fraternities should

protest any consideration of a dormitory construc-
tion. It will be at least two or three years before
existing housing facilities are inadequate. Can't
the University postpone entering into competition
with existing groups that long? The Daily thinks
it can and should.

A LITTLE DISPUTE
ABOUT STRAW VOTES
Recently The Californian attempted to obtain
an honest indication of how the University faculty
werg going to vote in the recent election. The pur-
pose of the poll was to satisfy the evident curiosity
of undergraduates as to how the professors would
vote by departments. Assuredly the project was
worthwhile.
Out of 563 faculty members 414 voted, and a
majority of those not voting declared that they
would not do so for a number of reasons. In the
face of this rather complete poll, a poll that went
against the inclinations of the writer and favored
Hoover, Professor A. M. Kidd of the department
of Jurisprudence states:
"The faculty vote as obtained by the Daily Cali-
fornian was obtained without opportunity given
to members of one department to express an
opinion." This was the Jurisprudence department.
"If this is typical of the vote," Kidd continues,
according to the Hearst papers, "it certainly casts
a reasonable doubt upon the results. A straw vote
obtained and published in this way can only be
attributed to rank political dishonesty or gross in-

esty" in the reporting of the poll is negligable in-
asmuch as the writer is an obvious Democrat, and
a Roosevelt enthusiast, and it would have pleased
him more to see the intelligentsia of the campus
select the Democratic choice for president.
As a result, according to Professor Kidd, the
failure of The Californian to poll the Law School
was an example of "gross incompetency" and
should be dealt with by a "drastic cleaning up of
The Californian staff."
The last remark, of course, is the most provok-
ing. Any person acquainted with the efficient
operation of the editorial staff knows that a
clean-up would avail nothing, could be of no
value, or offer little improvement.
There may have been incompetency, however.
For the girls sent to cover the Jurisprudence
department returned meekly to The Californian
offices stating that the professors would not tell
them how they were going to vote but only replied
facetiously.
All that is left for consideration now, then,
is the "fixing of responsibility." As can be seen,
it is a mutual guilt of the law savants and the
reporter assigned to poll that building.
The conclusion to be reached after all is that a
great outburst has been made about a little thing.
It is "much ado about nothing."
Fortunately, Boalt hall adds ten more to the
Democratic poll,

HEAR the game
as well as see it

By KIRKE SIMPSON
(The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON-There is ample evidence that,
confident as he was of victory, thenactual size
of the vote for him, both electoral and popular,
fairly left Governor Roosevelt breathless.
No man ever has a long cherished dream come
true in more spectacular fashion. Mr. Roosevelt
must have felt a desire to pinch himself some-
times, as the returns piled state after state in his
column, just to see if he was awake or dreaming.
In the circumstances, a chance to catch his
breath before he began actual preparation of a
cabinet slate was in order. Yet so many political
onlookers were certain of his election long before
election day itself that Roosevelt cabinets by the
dozen were put out speculatively.
NOT EVEN 'BIG JIM'
That being true, some authoritative word about
the cabinet plans of the President-elect was to be
welcomed. And it came, promptly, the day after
election, from a very high authority, a man
whose name figured on every speculative Roose-
velt cabinet slate The Bystander saw.
"Big Jim" Farley, original Roosevelt boomer,
field commander of that remarkable pre-conven-
tion Roosevelt campaign and of the final drive
at Chicago that produced a fourth ballot nomina-
tion to the dazed and pained astonishment of
political veterans, obliged.
Since the large, plump, amiable, energetic New
York up-stater also managed the election cam-
paign itself and was one of the two men to whom
Governor Roosevelt paid grateful tribute election
night, Farley ought to know.
And what says he?
"Perhaps the governor has canvassed a few
names," said Farley. "If he has, he has never
revealed those names to me."

-Ex-Pugilists.. ........By Themselves
The faults of "Madison Square Garden" far
outweigh its virtues. Which is another way of say-
ing that its triteness, its lack of a starred player
and its obviousness cannot be counteracted by a
somewhat novel prize-fighting episode and the
timeliness of the Garden theme, concerning which
we believe there was some unsavory publicity in
the newspapers a short time ago.
Jack Oakie, Warren Hymer, Marion Nixon, Wil-
liam Collier, Sr., Thomas Meighan, and one or
two other featured players all have prominent
roles, but the lack of a box-office character is
noticeable. At least three of the players men-
tioned, Miss Nixon, Collier, and Meighan are num-
bered at the studios as "among those slipping."
Jack Oakie has not been doing so well of late,
either. Warren Hymer, in his brutish and plug-
ugly way, is usually taken at face value, which
isn't very much, and appreciated accordingly.
So it is that this cast couldn't put the picture
over.
The theme is that of the prize fighter who has
a falling-out with his manager, trains with an-
other (a crook), only to come back in the wind-
ing-up scenes to his old manager and give the
opponent everything he has in the battle of the
battle of the century. Jack has this role, while
Warren is the genial pal who follows him in his
walkout. The girl (Marion Nixon, incidentally
the only girl inthe cast), has futile lines, and is
not so good to look at any more. Somehow, "Re-
