FAIRBANKS BEST
CHOICE OPINION
PROF. Caldwell

Kents Hill, June 1s.-(SpeciaD For
mer Vice President Charles w. Fair
banks was the best possible selection
the Republicans could have made at
Chicago to run on the ticket with JUS
tice Charles +. Hughes. in the opinion
of Professor Adelbert F. Caldwell, for
seven years teacher of English in Kents
Hill Seminary, who has just reached
Maine for the summer.
Professor Caldwell is now at the head
of the department of literature in De-
Pauw University, Greencastle, Ind, and
EX-Nice President Fairbanks is presi-
dent of the board of trustees. The vice
presidential candidate is a great favor
lite at DePauw. and Professor Caldwell
knows him intimately. He is much the
same to Depauw that Ex-President Taft
is to Yale, as member Of the Yale
Corporation.
Mr.. Fairbanks is the highest posi-
BILE type of statesman, thoroughly
abreast Of the times. a splendid cam
paign speaker and a charming man to
know personally" says Professor Cald-
well. HE is a brilliant orator, and
his past experiences will be of great
value in the coming contest. He is
extremely progressive in all his views
and his beliefs on every important ma
tional issue are worthy Of the most
careful consideration. Everything he
says in the coming campaign will be
sure to carry great weight"
Professor Caldwell states that Mr..
Fairbanks was given a tremendous oya-
ton at the annual alumni banquet at
Depauw University, which took place
just before the opening Of the Republi-
can national convention in Chicago. He
was cheered to the echo, and great
hopes were expressed that circumstan-
ces might come about so that the In
diana man would be nominated to head
the ticket
