a careful study of the Guatemalan
situation has disclosed the fact that
no violent measures were used by the
opponents of the former president
Estrada Cabrera. In fact, the only
violence INDUCED in was by the troops
under the command of Estrada Cabrera,
who bombarded the capital city.
The resignation of President Es-
trada Cabrera was submitted in due
form and accepted by the national as
Sembly of Guatemala. The assembly
then proceeded to designate a pro-
visional president, known as first des-
ignate intrusted with the executive

Mrs. George Bass, the head of the

as one of the ablest politicians among
the women of today in either political
party, is very inSiStent that the con-
vention shall nominate a man who is
absolutely acceptable to the woman
voters. She asserts that If this is
done. she will guarantee to bring to
the democratic party's national ticket
thousands of republican woman voters
and moreover crystalline the same
element into opposition to the repub-
lican senators up for reelection who
have been banned by the women
She contends that if the democrats
nominate man whom the women
recognize as a sincere friend of the
cause republican women will vote the
whole democratic ticket in New York,
in Connecticut and other states to
defeat the republican candidates for
the United States Senate.

Harding.
The fact is, the democrats were
counting heavily upon Herbert Hoo

come of the Chicago convention and
either sulking in his tent or possibly
going abroad and leaving the republic
cans to stew in their own juice. Every
body comedies that Herbert Hoover
has a tremendous following among
the women of the land. None of the
old hard-boiled politicians can fig
ure it out along normal political
lines. but pass up the solution with
the comment that lit is woman's way"
and let it go at that, the same old
refuge of man.
The democrats concede that there is
danger of Hoover being another
Pied Piper of Hamelin and tolling off
string of democratic woman voters
along with his republican supporters.
so you can look out for the women
getting very considerate treatment at
the hands of this convention.

NEW SCHOOL HEAD
MAY Be UTAH MAN

Ernest A. Smith. superintendent of
schools of Salt Lake City, Utah, is
being considered by the board of edu-
cation as successor to Supt, Thurs
ton as head of the Washington
schools. Mr.. Smiths term has ex-
pired as the head of the Salt Lake
City school system, and he is the
latest and most seriously considered
possibility for the superintendency of
the Washington public schools.
SO seriously are the board members
considering Supt. Smith for Mr. Thurs
tons position, it developed today. that
one of them may go TO Salt Lake City to
confer with him relative to accepting
the superintendency here. The annual
meeting of the National Education
Association will be held in Salt Lake
City from July 4 to 10. and a member
of the school bo&rd is likely to be
delegated there for twofold pur-
pose-to attend the meeting and en-
deavor to have Mr.. Smith come to
Washington.

but might be induced to come to Wash

tion Association here regard Mr.. Smith
as a progressive and efficient educator.
Consideration of Supt. Smiths name,
it was intimated today, probably will de-
fer the formal selection of Mr.. Thurs
tons successor for several weeks. 1t
was the intention of the school board to
elect a new District school head at a
special meeting Saturday or Monday
Now it develops, that Mr. Thurston will
pass out of the school system June 30
without his successor being named.
Kramer May Take Over job.
If this occurs. Assistant Supt. Ste
phen Il. Kramer will automatically
become the acting school head until
the school board elects one.
Assistant Supt. Kramer already has
been considered by the school board
as Mr.. Thurston's successor. Out of
the number of Washington educators
that have been given consideration
for the position. the assistant super
intendent is said to rank the highest
in the estimation of board members.
In view of public sentiment against
the ousting of Mr.. Thurston, it is
known that board members are not
anxious to name Washington edu-
Gator for his position. and prefer an
