Nevertheless, Shaw does not Jose
the opportunity to inform the French

Paris--and the shavian spirit. Reply
ing to question, about the origin Of

viii 81, in November.
In many of the state primaries, the
vote has been so light, compared to
the 1920 election count, as to indicate
TINT it was cast principally by regular
pa rty workers. The rank and file, it
W ould seem, has not taken the trou-
, lie to 60 to the polls. This condition
has rather surprised party leaders who
expected that an acute interest in ma
tional affairs would be stimulated by
the disclosures made during the course
of the Senate investigations. This APP
parent apathy is responsible for the
opinion of some of the Coolidge ad-
visors that special efforts should be
made to "dramatize" the President dur
ing the campaign despite the reluctance
of William M. Butler, who win be
chairman of the republican national
committee, to 20 in for campaign
stunts and ballyhoo. Democrats also are
thinking about the problem Of shak-
ing the sleepy voter.
No Serious Contest
Undoubtedly, one reason for some of
the existing apathy in the republican
primaries lies in the fact that there is
no serious contest over the nominal
ton. But that would hardly apply to
the democratic primaries, and it does
not hold in states where the republicans
are engaged in hot fractional fights, as
in Illinois.
In New Jersey, for instance, the
republican primaries were enlivened by
