This was the announcement made
by William H. Sheldon, Hollywood at
tormey, following the arrival here yes
terday Of Mrs. Young.
The plan to break O'Byrne's con-

ed to reroute her from there to the

WASHINGTON Politics, in case no
one has ever said as much before, is
a kaleidoscope
Calvin Coolidge has given the politi-
cal kaleidoscope it's two most effective
twists this year, first by his indefinite
statement at Rapid City and second
by his more definite statement on the
republican nomination to his partys
national committee in Washington.
Only one thing is certain-tfe game
is on. No one knows who will be
nominated, whether the winner will be
apparent before the convention or
whether all the decisive fighting will
be in Kansas City. The present as
sumption, however, is that Hoover and
Dawes will fight it out during the
convention.
President Coolidge has not said he
wouldn't accept the nomination and
there is still small undercurrent of
sentiment for drafting him, but he will
be drafted only if the convention ties
itself up in bad deadlock.

More Truth Than Poetry

STRIKING AN AVERAGE

BY some physicians we are told
That we can all grow thinner
And take on life firner hold
If we have din with dinner
If we but listen as we eat
To lively syncopation,
That we'll assist our bread and meat
To swift assimilation,
And linger on this earthly stage
Until we reach a ripe old age.
BY some physicians we're assured
That troubles with our diet
Can never possibly be cured
Except by perfect quiet.
The cynlbals clang, the trumpet's peal
Will ruin beyond question
If listened to while we're at meals
The healthiest digestion.
The saxophone's melodious breath
Brings with it almost certain death.

Amid this vale of sorrow
And am not so very strong
For passing out tomorrow.
So now and then at home eat
In calm repoSeful quiet,
And now and then amid the beat
OF jazz's roar and riot.
And in this way hope can
Last out about the proper span.

on second choice sentiments and trad
ing.
| Withdrawal of Hughes ended the
supposition that Hoover, Lowden and
Hughes might, roughly, each assume
charge of delegates from the west
middle-WeSt and east, respectively.
An important question now is
whether the east will take Hoover in
preference to Dawes. The Hughes
statement did Dawes no good, for he
is now in no position to scramble for
eastern delegates.
Hughes never Was regarded as a
really serious contender for the nomi-
nation, being originally set up to keep
Hoover from storing up delegates in
the east. Now there is no such bar
rier to the Hooverites. Hoover can
beat Lowden in this important terri
tory and Dawes, having reiterated that
he isn't a candidate and that he is
strong for Lowden, can hardly oppose
him.
New York and Pennsylvania politi-
clans originally intended to enter the
convention under the Hughes banner
Charlie Hilles, most important of the
New York republican bosses, planned
to use Hughes to keep his delegation
together. Unless he can recoup in
some way now, New York's delegates
may be distributed between Hoover,
LoWden and Dawes.
In Pennsylvania, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, who favored Hughes,
is also forced to look elsewhere-to
Hoover or to Dawes. There has been
reason to believe that Mellon would
prefer Dawes, but one hears that Gov
ernor Fisher of Pennsylvania, Mellon
man, is strong for Hoover and has
some hopes for a Hoover and Fisher
ticket.
Hcover's main weaknesses have been
that he was weak in the middle-west
and with the politicians. The first
weakness apparently remains, but his
strength among politicians has in
creased and may increase yet more.
If it increases far enough, he wins.
