WESTINGHOUSE
LETTER M@
~1ZE @1

WASHINGTON - Three democratic
presidential possibilities came out Of
the recent election in first class
running order.
Governor All Smith, of New York,
of course.
Governor Albert c. Ritchie, Of
Maryland, Of course, but not quite
SO much SO.
And Senator Jim Reed, of Missouri.
One possibility fell by the wayside
-Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio. He was
too thoroughly trounced in his cam
paign for the senate to make any
showing at the next democratic ma
tional convention.
Another possibility has faded com :
pletely into the ckground-William
G. McAdoo. of California. William
G.. was fading away. Some spec
tacular election stunt on his part
was required to keep him from dis
appearing utterly. He didn't perform
any. He may be able to hamstring
other candidates.. but as for his
own, he no longer has one.
Smith, Ritchie and Reed! Or maybe
Smith, Reed and Ritchie!
This doesn't take dark horses into
consideration. 1t deals only with
headliners.
Smiths figure is in the center.
Everybody knows why, so why name
it?
Ritchie did, relatively, as well in
Maryland as Smith did in New York.
Only Maryland isn't on as large a
scale as New York. Nationally
speaking, the very same thing that's
an explosion, coming from New York,
is only a loud pop, coming from
Maryland.
All the same, if Smith can't con-
meet, Ritchie's either second or third
in line of succession.
But don't forget Reed. Reed
cleaned up Missouri as effectively rs
Smith cleaned up New York or Ritchie
Maryland. He himself wasn't a can :
didate for anything this year, but
his support was a big factor in
electing Harry Hawes to the United
States senate in place of a republican.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

AN ILL OMEN
The art of yOdeling has been lost by
the Swiss
Aloof and grand the Alps still stand
Surrounded by chalets,
One still may climb to heights SUB
lime
And over Europe gaze
Still from afar one hears the Aar
AS through the vale it flows,
But now, alas, from peak or pass
Come no "Hi-lee -hi-lowsr' 81
All, love- what bliss were going to
miss
When we, as long we've planned,
Shall spend two weeks among the
OF rugged Switzerland.
How we shall strain our ears in
Across the fields of snow,
So white and clear and never hear
That far "Hi-lee- -hi-low!,'
Brave William Tell fought hard anc
we'll
And gamely stood his ground,
For every hill was all a-thrln
With that heroic sound
No Swiss knew fear when he could
hear,
Defying every foe,
From far away that lofty lay
That grand "Hi-lee- -hi-Iow!"
Aloof and grand, the Alps still stand
But clouded now in gloom
Among the peaks the silence SPEAKS :
OF an impending doom.
Unhappy land how can It stand
Henceforth against the foe
Ii to the skies n6body cries:
"He-lee, hi-lee, hi-low?"

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPION
Although 1 am not lacking in ambi-
And often plan important things
to do
And drop the job before I'm half
way through.
1 start with keen and eager anima-
ton,
finish dull and sluggish, like a
wish I had the calm determination
Of a germ.
A germ decides that you or 1 should
suffer
The dismal inconvenience of a cold,
And being no mere crude vainglorious
buffer,
He bares his fangs and savagely
takes hold.
You try to starve the brute by meager
diet,
Your doctor seeks to knock him
for row
But you can not persuade him to he
quiet
Or let go.
He gathers reinforcements as he
labors,
His devastating devils work to
spread,
He sends and gets his relatives and
neighbors
Who drive you, feebly fighting, to
your bed.
He knew you would be easy when he
picked you,
Despite your early show of sullen
grit
And not until you own chat he has
licked you
Will he quit.
The bee can sting but once, and he
is finished
Yet what reputation lie has won!
The germ, with zeal forever undi-
minished
Keeps on till what he meant TO do
is done.
.'he lion and the tiger Ao moce bite
us,
And to their very lives we've set
a term,
The only living thing that cal &f-
fright us
Is the germ!
