education at Yale, and subsequently entered the
Medical School of the same institution, receiving
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1920. His
hrst volume OF poems was published in 1921, and
1t was well received. In the following year. he
published two successive volumes of miscella-
menus poems and prose writings, under the title
OF " Clio" a third volume, of similar character
and with the same title, not appearing until 827
His last volume of poetry, " The Dream of Day
and other Poems was published in Is43
For short period in 1924 he held a commits.

To the Editor oftbe National Era.

BosToN, May 5, 1856.
TO the Editor Of the National Era:
think that many Of our Republican papers
are making a great mistake in supposinp that
we should be less likely to succeed in case we
nominate for President one of our firstclas
and well-knOwn men, than we should be if we
nominated some new and untried man. 1t is
very probable that there is some difference
among our great men in relation to minor mat.
tiers, and which might, in the case of the cleo.
ton of any one of them, modify in some meas.
ure the policy of the Administration; and that,
therefore, among the People, some would prefer
this, and some that, rs the nominee. But all
would prefer, as their second choice, man
differing with them on minor points, provided
he was right on the main ISSUE and was a man
OF commanding talents, who could and would
perform we'll the work for which he would be
elected. On the other hand, some would pre.
fer losing the election, to electing an untried
candidate, and being cheated as the Wings and
Democrats have been since they commenced
setting aside their great men, and running
availables.
The People well understand the difficult task
the Republican party have undertaken, namely.
to rescue the National Government from the
Slave Power, and to restore the policy of the
Fathers of the Republic. To do this, they want
for President man Of the very FIRST order.
Whoever may be the next Republican Presi.
dent, will have no easy work to d. To change
the policy of the Government in a matter SO
vital as that between Liberty and Slavery, with.
out encroaching on the constitutional rights of
the States, will require more than ordinary skill
and Judgment. The place requires a man of
commanding talents, whose antecedents are ,cell
known and right. To be available, even, the
candidate must be such a man. Such nomi-
nation would give some chance Of success-a
different one would be wet blanket indeed
