NATIONAL CAPITAL CONSIDERS
REPUBLICAN TICKET AS STRONG

Coolidge and Dawes. That is the
Republican ticket nominated at
Cleveland, the ticket which will be
elected November. This prediction is
based on the views of some of the
ablest political prognosticators in
Washington, including some saga
cious Democratic leaders. The NOM
nation of Calvin Coolidge on the
first ballot, by 1921 votes out of
1046, constituted zone of the most
impressive demonstrations of party
solidarity in the history of the Re-
publican party" it was an exhibition
of unity which stunned the opposi-
ton party and struck terror to the
hearts of the Follette-ites. That
Calvin Coolidge, homely man with
the homliest of the homely virtues
should have succeeded in so far
capturing the Imagination of the
American people in the brief period
be has been President-and he was
little known before; that he, with his
quiet manner, his economy of words,
his answering courage to do right,
regardless of what his political adj
visers assured him was essential to
his political success, should have so
compelled the admiration of the
American people as to win his NOM
nation with practically no dissenting
astonishment to the professional
politicians who, returning from
Cleveland in droves today, confess
themselves utterly unable to account
for it. Calvin Coolidge defied the
old guard, vetoed the bonus bill be-
cause he thought it was right, We
toed the Bursam pension bill because
he thought it was right-in word
practised in the White House those
homely virtues he had inherited
from his sturdy Puritan ancestry and
which had been instilled into him on
that almost bleak New England
farm, rejected all the time-serving
compromises which the professional
politicians at their own game. As
the New York Times (Democratic)
remarks sadly, at will take some
Democrat to defeat Mr.. Coolidge"
To Mr.. Coolidge and the mem
bers of his cabinet, to the voters
generally, to all but the old guard,
who wanted Frank Lowden, the
nomination of Charles G. Dawes is
an occasion of infinite satisfaction.
Had Mr.. Coolidge been willing he
could have at any moment dictated
the choice of his running-mate. But
he would not. His political repre-
sentative, Mr.. Butler, tried to and
failed But the convention chose for
second place with the same wisdom
that prompted their choice of presi-

dental candidate. Son of Gen. Rufus
Dawes, commander of Wiseonsins
famous Iron Brigade, Gen. Dawes
has warm place in the hearts of
all loyal Wisconsinites. Graduate of
Marriette College and the Cincin-
natl Law School, his hold ON Ohio
ans is not less deep. Adopted son of
Nebraska, where he went with his
bride to practise law and where he
lived all the early years of his
law practice, he has never lost the
place he won in the esteem of Ne
braskans. Right hand man of Gen.
John J. Pershing in France he made
an enviable record in charge of the
S. o. s., and won the loyalty of the
A. f. F. Prominent business man of
Chicago, he is regarded by Illinois
as one of her favorite sons. Special
arbiter of the German Reparations
commission and deviser of that set
tlement which now promises real
peace for Europe, he has gained the
admiration of the world. Under the
beneficient practice instituted by
President Harding, of having the
Vice President attend the meetings
of the cabinet, Mr.. Dawes will prove
of invaluable assistance wherever
world questions come before that
important body, for few Americans
know the European countries and
their problems as we'll as he. That
President Coolidge made no mis-
take in trusting implicitly to the
judgment of the delegates to the
convention is the profound conviction
of the ablest men in the national
capital today.
Although Congress adjourned
leaving an important appropriation
bill unpassed, the President has
found way to start the admins
tration of the bonus bill and there
is confidence he will be able to make
up for the other DEFICIENCIES of the
Congress to an extent which will
entirely obviate the necessity of call
ing the Congress in special session.
Even Senator Walsh's democratic
and insurgent colleagues on the
oil investigating committee repudia-
ted him and altered his report, after
! it had been given to the press. They
realized--what Walsh did not--that
formally to ask Congress to amend
the law to prohibit leasing the
naval oil lands except under GER
tain conditions and to amend it by
prohibiting the exchange of oil for
storage tanks was an admission that
as the law stands it clearly author
ICES the very things Walsh has so
sensationally and uniustly condemn
ed, an admission that the acts of
DENLY and Fall were legal.

CLAIMS M|STR|AL
: IN PURCELL CASE
Defense Objects to Facetious
| Remark of Prosecutor in.
Argument.

A facetious remark, Let George
do it" may cause a mistrial of the
first-degree murder case in which
four coiored men are charged with
killing Policeman John W. Purcell
last October. The case has been on
trial for two weeks and Assistant
United States Attorney O'Leary in the
course of his opening argument for
the prosecution today, referring to
the failure of Lloyd Monroe, one of
the accused men, to take the witness
stand, said: Monroe had a perfect
right not to go on the stani. He
could assume the position of Let
George do it. and require the Gov
ernment to prove his guilt.
Attorney T. Morris Wampler rep
resenting Monroe, jumped to his feet
and protested to the court that
OLeary had violated the rule of law
that the failure of defendant to
take the stand may not be the sub
Ject of comment. The lawyer claim
ed that this means that no reference
to it can be made by the prosecutor
and any such reference is repre-
hensible conduct and forms the basis
for withdrawing jury and declar-
ing a miStrial Chief Justice Mccoy
gave the lawyer until this afternoon
to submit authorities to uphold his
claim.
Statement Proceeds.
Mr.. OLeary then proceeded with
his opening statement.
Counsel for the defense have five
hours for argument. which they have
divided. Attorney Foster Wood repre-
senting William Ludley, will make the
first argument for the defense. He will
be followed by John H. Wilson for Ern-
est A. Brown. Abner Seegal for Joseph
Slaughter and by Robert Z. Lynch and
t. Morris Wampler for Lloyd Monroe.
Should the court overrule the claim for
a mistrial Assistant United States At
torney OLeary will make the closing
argument to the jury, after which the
chief justice will give his charge and
a verdict may be rendered tomorrow

This is never an event to be dis
counted, but if Yale loses the defeat
VIII constitute one of the great
sporting surprises of the year. Al
though the Washington eight is vet to
be seen in the east this year, there is
not the slightest reason for not
granting the Huskies every right to
kinship with this Yale crew, and the
pity is they are not TO meet
Watching those three Yale crews,
the varsity, junior varsity and fresh
man, one was struck by the simi-
larity of their style and general Wa
termanship, which showed, for one
thing, that Edward Leader has
comprehensive eye and a far-reach-
ing capacity.
Yale has had other crews com
posed of men as brawny. as intelli-
gent and as devoted as Sill the ship
this season. Yet, not since the early
1900s, with two or three notable ex-
ceptionS, has she sent out SO accom-
plished an eight And she has had
mentors who knew even more about
workmanship than Leader-or at
least were equipped with a broader,
more varied experience.
The answer is, of course, that
Leader has the gift of imparting
something to his men, just as in the
classroom there are professors who
can drive knowledge into their pu-
pills and others who cannot.
