/ WASHINGTON-E Dawes,
Hoover and Hughes a study OF the
strength of the announced or un-
announced candidates for the republi~
can presidential nomination reveals
reasons why they can't be nominated
rather than reasons why they might
Fer purposes of such an analysis
it is to be assumed that President
Coolidge will not be an important
factor at the next republican national
convention.
With Coolidge out, there is an
excellent prospect of gorgeous cat
and dog fight between the aspirantS,
with a wealth of favorite sons, dark
horses and deals. The party is too
we'll controlled to permit of any such
spectacle as the democrats stumbled
into at New York in 1924, but there
may be a real deadlock which will
have to be settled as in 1920 "by a
little group OF men in smoky, Stuffy
locked room"
LoWden is the farmers protest"
candidate. If he has an understand
ing with Dawes, as was long ago Sug-
gested, he may be able to do a
splendid job in rounding up the dele
gates for delivery at the convention.
The main point, however, is that to
date Lowden has shown no strength
in the east or anywhere else except
in predominantly agricultural states.
LongWorth comes from Ohio, the
mother of presidents" in recent de-
cadeS, and he has strong personal
following among members of the

HASTY WORDS

There has been no real genius for

No Homers nor Nestors nor Caesars

To grace our terrestial stage?

nard Shaw
And his mind I'm unable to round,
But I think quite different conclu-
sion he'd draw
From the one DR.. Butler has found.
I'm sure Mussolini would say with
a snort,
If the statement he happened to see,
Though genius is running little bit
short
There's enough for one era in mel"
I've conversed with a number Of
authors of books
And judges and men of affairs
And Pullman conductors and ctau-
ffeurS and cooks
And statesmen, and Big Millionaires
And every man jack in the populous
throng
When the gist of the statement
he got,
To prove Doctor Butler was palpably
Observed "I am here, am I not?"
And when appeal, as I mean to
some time,
To the people whove made of the
screen
A thing so amazing, profound and
sublime
AS of course you have frequently
seen,
Each actor will pass a white hand
DER his brow
To express his distress, and remark
That there's far more real genius
in Hollywood now
Than there's been since the trip
Of the Ark!
