L'ANSE MAY GET
FINE new DEPOT

A new passenger depot is one Of
the possibilities for L'Anse this COM
ing year ,as well as a large freight
shed, said C. E. Lytle Of Marquette,
general superintendent Of the South
Shore railroad, who was in L'Anse
last Saturday.
With the Ford interests located
here, Mr.. Lytle predicted bright and
busy future for L'Anse, and he stat
ed that his company will cooperate
with our biggest employer and give
them the best possible service.
The needs of a new depot and
freight shed were apparent to Mr..
Lytle while here, although the auto
busses and freight trucks cut into
the railroad company's business ex-
cept during the winter season.
The present structure was built
about seventeen years ago and has a
small waiting room and also small
storage room, it being entirely mad
eqhate during the winter, when the

Anvil Chorus from "Il Trovatore.
Giuseppe Verdi was born in 1913 in
the Italien village of LIE Roncole at
the foot Of the Apprentices. His par
ents were extremely poor, obtaining
their living from the proceeds of a
very small inn and an adjoining shop.
At the age of seven he was chosen
to attend the priest at Mass and was
so enraptured at hearing the organ
that he could not attend to the serv-
ice. He thereupon began taking les
sons and advanced rapidly. The first
part of his life was spent in study
and church music work. After the
production of his first opera in 1912
he composed many operas and is
considered as one Of the foremost Of
Italian opera composers. I'll Trova-
tore" (the Troubador) has been and
remains today very popular opera.
The "Anvil Chorus" sung by male
chorus to the accompaniment of the
clinking anvils always scores huge
success. VVerdi died in 1901. ?

FEAR FREEZE OUT
FROM C. 0.P. RACE
Charge Made CooIidge's
Friends Seek to Bar Other
Presidential ASpirantS.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Republican leaders grouped together
in what is known as the ways and
means committee" are meeting here TO
discuss plans for the financing of the
republican party in the forthcoming
presidential campaign.
Money raised now is not supposed to
be used in the interest of any particular
candidate. but in order to give the party
a momentum on the day the republican
national convention chooses the candi-
date for the Presidency. a
Murmurs of discomfort are heard
with reference to the alleged tendency
of the Coolidge people to close the race
T against any other contenders. One of
the leaders here has told Fred w. Up
ham, treasurer of the republican ma
tional committee, that he believes it
mistake to have the present administra-
ton receive commitments for delegates
at this stage of the proceedings ana
give the impression that 1t IS unethlcal
for any one else to announce candl-
dacy.
Candidates Holding Back.
1t is a fact that the would-be cam
didateS are holding back in Difference
to President Coolidge because the lat
ter has not yet had an opportunity
of addressing Congress and announc-
ing his legislative program, which, of
course, is his platform for the nom
ination campaign. Some of the friends
of the rival candidates are crying out
that the race is being closed against
them and that a nomination dictated
by the White House" is not an eX-
preston of the free will of the re-
publican party.
Those who are in a position to
insist that they. too, would feel 1t a
mistake ii anything were done to
bring about what could be called
dictated" nomination. and that more
prestige and value would inure to a
nomination received after every one
had had chance to make campaign
than under the opposite kind of cir
cumStances.
Situation Held Psychological.
The difficulty, however, from the
viewpoint of candidates other than
President Coolidge is that the situa-
tion is largely psychological. Pol
iticians in various parts of the coun-
try who are able to influence. the
naming of delegates think they see
the "old guard focking to Coolidge
and they get on the bandwagon. For
one thing, Mr.. Coolidge has not yet
expressed enough views on anything
he has sensed the true wishes of pub
lie opinion or whether there is a
chance by differing with him to bring
public opinion to their side.
Friends OF Aspirants at Work.
The value of commitments and
pledges given by politicians early in
the game is appreciated on every side,
and it is rumored that friends of for
mer Gov. Frank Lowden of Illinois
are going around asking for second
choice votes in case the convention
should become deadlocked on Cool
idge Mr. Lowden himself was in
