the more guessers will there be to
figure that the button won't ever be
pushed for Mr.. Hoover.
The double crossing S son hasn't
arrived yet Being out in front and
still not SO far out in front as to be
without serious competition, Mr.. Hoover
may be the principal casualty when it
comes. Every political year, it should
be borne in mind, has it's double-cross-
ing season.
In the republican party, it isn't as
if nearly all the smart politicians
thought Mr. Hoover would be nomi-
mated or as if they thought General
Dawes would be nominated. A COM
plete canvas of minds is impossible
and wouldn't mean anything any way,
but some of the wise money, if any, is
placed on Mr.. Hoover and some of the
wise money, again if any, is placed on
Mr. Dawes.
The anti-Hoover attack, designed to
slow up what Hooverites like to think
of as their band-Wagon, has begun,
emanating from more or less mysteri-
GUS sources. He has been assailed in
gumshoe fashion both through raising
question as to his constitutional eligi
bility and his partisan record.
You have read all about that, but
you haven't read who started it, No
one attempted to spread the anti
Hoover propaganda through the me-
dunn of this writer and he hasn't in
quired as to where it came from, but
it is funny how stories will get into
the newspapers. There's sure to be
more of the same.
Recently an eight-page weekly po-
litical sheet appeared here whose out
standing characteristic has been an
anti-Hoover slant. Whether this new
anti-Hoover campaign gets anywhere
will depend on who's behind it all.

SOLDIERS WILL
STAGE ATHLETIC
MEET SATURDAY

There will be another battalion
track meet ,at Camp Harry J. Jones
On Saturday. The track meet held
there some weeks ago was won by
C company and every effort is being
made now among the track men of
the other companies to form teams
that can win the battalion honors
this week.
The infantrymen stage a high class
of athletic meet. They are all kept
fit all the time and might be said
to be in training 365 days cut Of
the year so that when they get
ready for an athletic meet they
simply start in specializing in the
thing which they are best at.
The men of the 25th are noted
nationally for their athletic prowess
and have, at the regimental head
quarters at Nogales a great show
case completely filled with the tro-
phies they have won at various events
for years past The collection is an
imposing one and each year some

WASHINGTON.-T ought to be
enough sweet harmony in democratic
throats these next few months to drown
out the sour notes which unQuestion-
ably will echo until the last.
It does seem likely that the demo-
cratic convention will be little more
than ratification of Governor Al
Smith and that Reed, Ritchie and the
others will have to be contented with
promises of cabinet posts or whatever
else they decide they want IN case
Smith becomes able to reward them.
1t seems likely. But the gentlemen
who predicted a week or even a couple
of days in advance selection either of
Kansas City or Houston as the next
convention site may now rise and tell
us with certainty just who the two
party nominees will be. Does any
gentleman rise? He does not
One has much better chance guess
ing nominees than one ever had to
guess convention cities. And when it
comes to guessing as between demo-
Gratis, no one now seems to be guessing
anyone but Smith.
Guessing as among republicans is
much more difficult. 1t may be, as
the democrats say, that someone pushes
a button and then the republican can
didate is nominated If so, republican
guessing becomes all the harder un-
less one is SO extremely fortunate as
to know the button -pushers and learn
just what is on their minds
At this moment, some guessers think
the button will be pushed for Hoover
and others that it will be pushed for
Dawes. Some of the Hoover folks
seem to be frothing at the mouth in
their anxiety to have the button pushed
right now, but the button -pushers are
in no hurry, and the longer they delay

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE WAY IT ALWAYS SEEMS

THE WAY 1T ALWAYS SEEMS
I was recently given guaranteed tip
That Brass Common was due to
advance
Inside Of a week, unless something
should slip
And the bottom drop out of finance.
I drew out the savings I'd boarded
away,
/ mortgaged my trim little cot
And with all possessed, on the fol-
lowing day n
I went to the Street on the trot;
But alas for the visions which surged
through my mind
For my dreams of unlimited cash
The Vanderbilts, MorganS and Astors
combined
And sent the whole market to smash.
BY dint of hard labor and soul racking
thrift,
And scrimping at meals every day,
And turning my collars once more I
made shift
To get small store laid away.
But took all the money had in my
sock
On the strength of private report
That the way to clean up on inactive
stock
Was by selling lot of it short.
This time was sure I was certain
to win,
But my hopes soon were knocked
all awry,
The Vanderbelts, Morgans and Astors
came in
And boosted the market sky high.
These people have always been stran-
gers to me,
I have never belonged to their sets,
But bear them no grudge, and I
never can see
Why they always should copper my
bets.
How they know what I'm doing there's
no way to tell,
If they fear me, cannot guess why,
But whenever buy they are certain
to SELL
When I sell they are certain to buy,
never shall own any high powered
car,
Or sail in my yacht on the sea,
For the Vanderbelts, Astors and Nor
gans are far
Too strong for a piker like me!
