 of their favorites, will be more in. clined to jump on 8 Coolidge band. wagon than on the Hoover caravan They will be virtually uninstructed after they get through strummine the praises of their favorite state sons, and if anybody can begin drafting Coolidge" they will lend willing ear.
 Then there are minor chords in the political symphony. Some writera claim big business is behind Hoover; others say parts of big business are against Hoover. Some say Hoover is unpopular with the farmers; others say the farmers regard him as a cap- able administrator, lately proven to their entire satisfaction during the Mississippi flood.
 The way Hoover has tackled the pretensions of Senator Willis of Ohio, who considers himself . re- markedly favorite son in Ohio, is enervating. If there iA one man in public life whose bubble needs pricking it is Senator Willis. the pet of the Anti-Saloon league and one who thinks in terms of prohibition and in nothing else. The Republican party with a man like Willis at its head would present weakened con- dition indeed. It would be very gratifying to everyone If Hoover could smash this recrudescence of the Ohio gang There and now"
 From tho start of tho political fracas during this presidential year we pinned our faith on the expecta- ton that Hoover would be the Re- publican candidate and Al Smith tho of the Democrats. That would provide a political battle ''as Is one," and we strongly favor snappy elections. More than 50 per cent of the people would vote, and 1t would be hot time all around. If we've got to have presidential elec- tions every four years they may as we'll be heated" and the public will have tho satisfaction of know Ing that no matter which gentleman Is elected of these two. the next president will be | credit to his country, his party and the people.

THE MUSICAL SEASON

A citizen told us recently that this city, from a musical standpoint, is a perfect desert. He had especial ref erence to conditions this season. Up to this year, he declared. there had been artist concerts in this city; these have apparently entirely dis appeared this year, except for one scheduled to take place with the Wennerberg chorus later. The New
 Britain Musical club. for years sponsoring an artists series, has gone out of the business this year. The New Britain Choral Society. mindful of past results, has not yet permitted its plans to be known. And 50 on.
 However, the desert is not as dry as it seems. The past week, for in- stance, has been fairly notable. 1t began with an organ recital. On Tuesday a singer from the Metro politan sang before large audience composed of members and guests of the Woman's club. On Friday night there was a concert by one of the most outstanding jazz orchestras of the country in the Stanley Arena. The event qualified as concert simply because jazz done in fine style is American art. Yesterday there was a concert in First Lutheran church, in which choirs from nearby cities participated. and at which there also was organ music. Last night there was a remarkable con- cert of early music given by an in- strumental quartet in Trinity Metho- dist church.
 The musical events of the week, to be sure, did not include celebrities; it relied upon music rather than the public proclivity to pay from S1.50 to s4 for circus performers in the realm of commercialized music. For there is not scintilla of doubt that the musical celebrity business is thoroughly commercialized; its managers are fond Of calling it an industry" and we read constantly of the amount of money Americans spend in this industry. Every dollar chasing musician from the far corners of the world is in this coun- try at least part of his time. and if appreciation depended upon how much money is spent for artist recitals we would he the most musi- cal nation in the world.
 There is enough inherent musical ability in this city. enough staunch of various organizations identified with the art. 10 keep the roster of musical events at a lively pace.
 IL has been shown by experience that this is not so.50 a seat city; it's not even a S1.50 a seat city. A fair crowd can be gathered at a fair concert and at a fair price, and that is our limit. For celebrities we go to know how every celebrity looks and acts. at least once. In such cases the music is Of secondary import ance.
