The foregoing statement fails to

LETTERM
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON.-W the news
papers recently published schedule
OF the 1928 presidential primaries and
credited it to Simon Michelet, a law
yer, one naturally wondered who the
Sam Hill was Simon Michelet, that
he should know so much more about
the subject than the Washington
correspondents themselves.
Investigation indicates that Niche
let has made himself the nations
leading authority on the primaries
and other electoral matters lie is
the former secretary and friend OF
the late Knute Nelson Of Minnesota
and he went into law practice mere
when Nelson died. Now he makes
the study of how we vote a HOBBY
and a recreation, and every so oICen
he sends out a mastery analysis OF
this or that angle to all the news
papermen. He is a scandinavian,
born in Wisconsin and bred in Min
nesota.
/ 1t appears that Michelet's motives
are altogether altruistic. He has def
! mite feelings about the fact that so
many citizens fail to vote, but he does
not pose as a reformer, even though
he founded the National Get-Out-
the-Vote club.
"Voting ought to be taught in the
schools" Michelet says. ITO be a
success, the movement to get all citi-
zens to vote can't come from the
skyscrapers; it must come from the
precincts !"
Michelet's studies have led him
to the conclusion that the primaries
are becoming more and more import
ant in the national political system.
He says that Al states now have pri-
maries of one sort or another, fact
doubly interesting in view Of the pro
and con fight over the direct primary
which is now shaping up over the
country.
Michelet has pointed out that in
many states the primary already is
of more Importance than the elec-
tion This is especially true in south
ern states where the democratic can
didate for senate, presidency or other
office never has any opposition.
In II Of the 90 states which nomi-
mated senators by direct primary last
year, according to Michelet, the pri-
mary vote settled the election. He
lists Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Okla
homa and South Carolina, which
elected democrats, and California,
Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota, oregon,
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington
and Wisconsin, which elected republi-
cans. There were close contests in
some of these republican states, but
NIichelet finds that in Alabama, Ar
Kansas Florida, Georgia, Louisiana
and South Carolina the primary vote
for senator exceeded the general cleo
ton vote by from 100 to 500 per cent.
In nine republican states the primary
vote exceeded the general election
vote by 40 per cent and in eight
democratic states by 14O per cent.

More Truth Than Poetry
POOR sPORTs
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

I never liked angle worms much
They are little appealing to me;
They are rather repulsive to touch
And highly un1ovely to see.
AS over the grass roots they Wriggle
and coil
Their appearance is very unganily,
Yet, as Darwin explains, they create
fertile soil
And they ought to be treated hu-
namely.
It is said that when fiddles are
played
These creatures will creep from the
ground
And quietly lie in the shade
Completely enthralled by the sound.
And while they're enjoying the jig
getty din
With their glad little hearts all
a-quiver,
The rustice can easily gather them in
To tempt hungry fish in the river.
A worm isn't much, as I've said,
You can cut him in two like a
knife,
And he'll still have tail and a head,
But he DOES get some pleasure
from life.
And when his starved soul on a jig or
a reel
The innocent fellow is feeding,
To treat him so basely-I cannot but
feel
Is a wholly outrageous proceeding.
If fish cannot fairly be caught
Unless on a line he is played,
1 hold that fisherman ought
To dig up his worms with spade,
He then has a chance, for quite often
the quest
In the soil of the barnyard proves
futile,
But to grab him while music is sooth-
ing his breast
Strikes me as exceedingly brutal.
