Upshaw Called Ideal Leader
Of Prohibition in Campaign

Nomination of former Representative
Upshaw of Georgia as the Prohibition
party's candidate for President IS
hailed by the Nation as most appro-
pirate. The militant Atlanta orator is
credited with conspicuous zeal for the
cause and rated as an untiring advo-
cate of the dry law. Suggestion that
he may retire in favor OF Senator
Boreh arouses universal Skeptlclsm,
because of the latter's long afhllatlon
with the Republican party
"Upshaw will add in large measure
to the picturesqueness and the hazard
and hilarity of a campaign that IS Al
ready glittering and glamorous ana
cutting curlicues in the drao texture
of our politics and traditions" In the
opinion of the Columbia IS. c. State.
which also comments: If Upshaw is
himself in this campaign the country
may confidently expect the most pic
turesque scrimmaging from stump,
platform, pulpit and every form OF
hustings that it has witnessed since
Old Hickory or Uncle Abe faced and
cowed to their will the unterrifled de-
mocracy. For he is what they call sui
generis. a law unto himself. Fluent as
a tin whistle. he is never at loss Tor
a word, or for long strings OF words.
He has been harangping all his life,
whether shrilly espousing some reform
in the red hills of Georgia or trying to
elevate the House of Representatives
during those four terms of whll >-h@t
enthusiasm in the cause of prohlbi-
ton
Like wrath from the past" SAYS
the Springfield (Mass) Union. the
figure of former Congressman UpshaW
has emerged into the limelight as the
Prohibition party's nominee for Pres1.
dent. In national convention assembled
at indianapolis the small, but unterrl-
fied dry party by a vote of "A Tor
Upshaw to 60 for his nearest competitor
has pinned its presidential label on the
proud breast Of the stormy petrol OF
the Democratic minority in Congress
from 1919 to 1927 and former high light
of the Anti-Saloon League. Unless Up
shaw has changed remarkably since his
unappreciative Georgia constituents re-
tired him from public life six years
ago. the Prohibition party might search
far and wide without finding more
picturesque and colorful stndard bearer
= His reputation Tor vitriolic
oratory promises some lively campaign
ing, especially If he devotes some at
tention to certain dry notables, such
as DR.. Clarence True Wilson, Deets
Pickett and Dr. Dinwiddile, who have
been rather Indifferent. If not actually
hostile. to the idea of launching dry
ticket"
"As for the effect of the Upshaw
oratorv," says the Baltimore Sun. there
may be some question. With Senator
Borah as a candidate the drvs might
really hope to drum UP a substantial
following bv November. for whatever
may be said of his inconsistencies, it
cannot be denied that the Senator from
Idaho carries great weight. But with
Upshaw as the head of the ticket the
prospect for a huge mobilization of
prohibition votes is bv no means bright
The Prohibition party has never en-
joyed the suffrage of more than 100000
citizens in any presidential campaign.

1896 which had as the ornamental pic

Where do they get that stuff about
Herbert Hoover'S having no sense of
humor? Three or four years ago he
contributed a preface to a book on

reached the White House with a re-
quest for the presidential autograph.
The volume was returned with the
following inscription: This is a good
book. except for the foreword HER
BERT HOOVER

pirate headline for the run-in which
Senator Watson had with Senator
CouZens in the waning minutes of the
session Saturday night. The Wolverine
and the Hoosier went at each other
hammer and tongs. though Watson
kept his temper Old-timers cannot
recall an occasion when even a nomi-
called for the defeat of fellow Re-
publican and the party leader at elec-
ton time. The episode made "sena-
torial courtesy look little baggy at
the knees.
Basil Manly, Washington representa-
tive of the New York power authority
was one of the privileged few to invade
the privacy of the Myth II. as Gov
Roosevelt's yawl passed through the
Cape Cod Canal to Buzzards Bay last
week. Newspaper men trailing the yawl
megaphoned the Governor to ask what
Mr.. Manly told him. "A lot" was all
Roosevelt replied. About power?" the
reporters persisted. Yes" said the
Governor. What did he say?" Quoth
Roosevelt: "He said he had lot more
of it," That ended the interview. The
supposition is that Manly supplied the
Governor with the latest Washington
low-down on the st. Lawrence water
way developments.

and President were bound by intellec-

enduring affinity.
Before coming to the United States
as French envoy, M. Jusserand married
a charming American woman, the for

supreme satisfaction to him when in

Even If Jules Jusserand had not en-
barked upon diplomacy as a profession,
he would have shone in literature. In
deed. the writing art was his companion
occupation, and inrumerable works in
both French and English stand to his
credit. The catholicity and range of
his talent are indicated by the titles
of some of these books: English Way

Time of Shakespeare, "A Literary His

Many of cur great universities bestowed

Perscnifying the highest traditions of
