BADGER SENATOR TO
BE INDORSED BYNEW
PROGRESSIVE PART
NOMINATION OF LAFOLLETTE
SEEN AS LAST ACTION AT
CONVENTION
SENATOR EXPECTS TO1
HAVE NO REAL OPPOSER
Spirited Contest May Develop on Floor
Over Organization of Third
Party
Cleveland, 0., July 5.-+Jnited State
Senator Robert M, LaFollette will
be indorsed for president of the Un-
ited States on a platform embodying
his principles will be adopted late
today by the Conference for Progres-
sive Political Action here, unless all
plans of leaders go awry.
No word against the Wisconsin lead-
er has been heard from any of the
delegates following his message to
the convention yesterday in which
he agreed to lead the Progressive ele-
ments gathered here and the resolu-
tions committee of the convention op-
enly announced that it was taking the
LaFollettee platform, rejected by the
Republican -convention, as a basis for
its document.
A spiritedcontest may develop on
the floor over whether there should
be a third party organized and named
by this convention. The Socialist
groups in the convention are making
a determined fight for such action, but
there are many, and early today they
appeared as a majority, who would in-
dorse, or even nominate LaFollettee
with a running mate, 'without organiz-
ing a party, as such, or putting a
name to their movements.
No name other than that of LaFol-
lette has been mentioned for presi-
dent at this gathering, but several'
names have cropped up in the specu-
lative minds of delegates relative to a
running mate for the Wisconsin sen-
ator.
Among these are Senator Wheeler
of Montana, Senator Shipstead of Min-
nesota, D. B. Robertson, president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
~men and Enginemen, and HustonY
Thompson, chairman ofathe federal
trade cdmmission.
The first business of the convention
today was the adoption of the perm-
anent roll call as reported by the cre-
dentials committee. Then came the
committee on organization with its
third party argument and this was to
be followed by a report of the resolu-
tions committee which promised its
platform early.
The indorsement of LaFollefte was
expected to be the final action of the
convention before adjournment.
The conference recessed at 12:35
until 2 p. m.

Fourth Excursion
To Visit Detroi
Under the auspices of the S. C. A.
an industrial research is being con-
ducted in Detroit during the weeks of
June 29 to August 9. The aim of this
work is to investigate industrial con-
ditions from a Christian standpoint,
and to find the relationship existing
among capital, labor, management, dis-
tributor, and consumer.
Fifteen students are now working
in Detroit factories, living among
working people, end thus obtaining an
opportunity to study the exact condi-
tions of labor today. Discussions un-
der the direction of Mr. H. C. Coff-
man, general secretary of the S. C.
A., are being held three times a week,
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Prominent industrial leaders address
these meetings; Eugene Broch, secre-
tary of the International Machinists
Union, appearing next Thursday
night.
This is the first year that Michigan
has undertaken such a project, al-
though similar work is being done by
the University of Denver, and the Un-
iversity of Baltimore. It is open to
students of any department, as it af-
fords a profitable and interesting study
to all college men that are concerned
with the industrial problems of today.

ON ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE
A new golf course, situated be-
tween Washtenaw and Geddes ave-j
nues, one-half mile from the city lim-
its, has been laid out for the benefit
of Ann Arbor citizens and U. of M.
students.
The committee at the head of the
proposed plan are Dean Kraus, Mr. T.
R. Peirsol, Mr. O. J. Campbell, and1
Regent Beal, of the University. ThereI
will be a meeting on July 15 to or-I
ganize the club. It will be en entire-!
ly separate corporation from the Hu-
ron-Hills Land Development com-t
pany. The 50 acres of land for the<
same price as the development com-
pany paid for them.c
The club will be limited to 260 mem--
bers. The membership fee is $100.1
The committee proposes to have play-
ing-rights with special rates, for !
students.
The club house planned is not elab-
orate, but there will be individual
lockers for each member, and suffici-
ent room for dinners, dances, andt
the other social affiairs of the club. 1
The course will be nine holes, cost-
ing $1000 a hole. It has been laid outf
by the Olmstead Bros., prominent1
landscape architects of Boston, whof
say that this course 3000 yards in ex-
tent, is well adapted for golf, being t
hilly and rolling, with a good variety
of holes.
The land development company hasl
already tiled and drained the land.
When demand makes a larger course
necessary, there can be enough adja-
cent land purchased for another nine
holes.
Incorporation of the club will be1
for $26,000, which will all be spentj
for the club house and the grounds.

COACHES FROM PRNCETON,a
STANFORD, ON TEACHING STAFF
Twenty-six states, from Washington
to Connecticut and from Minnesota
to Florida, arr. represented in the
coacning oourses under the department
of ph ".. education this summer. In
all, 110 high school and college coach-t
es are registered. A number of stu-
dents registered in other schools also
are attending the courses as visitors.
Those attending are for the rost
part successful high school coaches3
who wish to keep in touch with the
latest developments in athletics, al-1
though there are several college coach-
es enrolled as well. Among the lat-
ter are Coach Tom Fitzpatrick, headi
coach at the University of Utah, and4
Joe Maddock, who was a star tackle1
on Yost's famous point-a-ninute teams
at Michigan from 1901-04, and who
has been recently appointed head
coach at Oregon Agricultural College.
With all parts of the country rep-
resented, many divergent view's of
athletic coaching are being discussed
in the classes. This feature has been
emphasized with the addition to the.
teaching staff of Coach W. J. Carke,t
baseball coach at Princeton university,
and R. L. ("Dink") Templeton, Stan-j
ford track coach. Three athletic view-t
points, from the east, middle west, and
far west, are thus givei expression,
adding materially to the efficiency of,
the training.

veloped when the boy contracted a

RESULT OF 77TH BALLOT
Madison Square Garden, N. Y.,
Jny 5.-(By A.P.)-The result of
the 77th ballot is as follows:
MacAdoo ....................513
Smith .......................367
Davis.....................76
Madison Square Garden, July 5.-
While the McAdoo forces were seeking
unsuccessfully by formal resolutinon
today to drive favorite sons out of the
field in the deadlocked Democratic
convention, the Smith forces counter-
ed with an attempt to form a com-
bination with the favorite son con-
tingents in the hope of finding a com-
promise candidate which could be
put over.
Those in charge of the candidacies
of Davis, Robinson, Glass and others
in the favorite son class went into
the conference with the Smith manag-
ers, who seemed to concede that the
time had come for compromise pro-
vided the doors were closed before-
hand to any possibility of the choice
falling on McAdoo.
Some of those who took part were
very hopeful that a compromise selec-
tion soon would be made.
Madison Square Garden, New York,
July 5.-After completing the roll call
on the 74th ballot here today, the Dem-
ocratic national convention found it-
self no nearer to selection of a presi-
dential candidate than when the bal-
loting started a week ago.
The 11th day of the convention-an
expensive one for delegates and a
record-breaking one in the annals
of political history-was merely a
repetition of all the other days of the
week, the number of roll calls mount-
ing higher and higher with William
G. McAdoo and Gov. Alfred E. Smith
holding fast the lines they had thrown
around the delegates at the very be-
ginning, the former occasionally fight-
ing his way above the 500 marks and
at other times slumping to near his
lowest mark.
Governor Smith, meanwhile, con-
tinuing to add a vote here and anoth-
er there until, on the first ballat of the
day, the 71st, he had a total of 333.5
votes, or 1 less than when the voting
was temporarily halted at an early
hour this morning after the 70th bal-
lot.
EXPERIMENTS MADE FOR
DETROIT EDISON FIRM
Experiments are being carried out
in the electrical engineering depart-
ment for the Detroit Edison Company.
They consist of a series of tests of
small, alternating current, fractional
horse-power motors.
Professor B. F. Bailey of the elect-
rical engineering department, and Mr.
L. N. Holland, who is to be an in-
structor in this department next wint-
er, are experimenting with' these now.
Over thirty motors have been tested
during the past two months, and the
work will probably continue well in-
to the winter. The object of these

tests is to determine the efficiency of
the motors on the market at the pres-
ent time, and to devise any new means
possible of improving them.
A device recently patented by a
French concern in this country is
claimed to provide a silent key at-
tachment for any form of typewriter.
When Palestine was taken over by
the British in 1918, Jerusalem's 65,-
a 000 people got their water supply from
accumulated rain.
