NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Senator Curtis of Kansas De-
sires to Head the Repub-
lican Ticket.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
E NOW have one openly avowed
candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. Charles Car-
tis, United States senator from Kan-
sas, has informed his friends in that
state—and the public at large—that
he will be pleased to be the candidate
of the Kansas delegation, and with
the announcement comes evidence
that he is going after the nomination
in dead earnest. He believes that he
adequately represents the Interests
of the great West and that as a con-
servative who, nevertheless, is liberal
on many issues, he will be acceptable
to the rest of the country.
Senator Curtis came to his de
cision after President Coolidge had
scolded Senator Fess for the latter's
insistence on a third term for the
present incumbent. This incident con-
vinced the Kansas senator that Mr.
Coolidge really would not consent to
be drafted and therefore he sent to
his boomers a letter in which he said:
“Having served In the house and
senate for more than 35 years, I know
the great responsibility of the Presi-
dency and the arduous duties of the
office. Nevertheless, if my friends of
Kansas desire to send a delegation to
the next Republican national conven-
tion favorable to my nomination, i
shall be greatly pleased to be their
candidate. However, I will not con
sent to become a candidate If the del.
egation is to be selected with a view
of voting for me for a few ballots as
a ‘favorite son. As I stated when
the question was first to be put to me,
Tq will not allow myself to be used as
a stalking horse for anyone.'"”
Already there are Curtis for Pres-
tdent clubs in every county in Kansas,
and the movement in his favor has
many followers in Missourl and Okla-
homa. He will have the solid Kansas
delegation back of him, and in Wash-
ington it is considered that even If he
does not get first place on the ticket
he will be in position to do effective
trading that may get him the vice
presidential nomination.

ETROIT has been enjoying a
spectacular mayoralty campaign
that has attracted the attention of
the whole country. Mayor John W,
Smith, candidate for re-election, is an
avowed wet and declares prohibition
pever can be enforced and is the
greatest force for evil in America to-
day. If he is re-elected, a liberal pol-
fey will continue in Detroit, and many
of the city's big business men support
him because, they assert, that policy
has greatly benefited the city, espe
elally In the way of attracting hun-
dreds of national conventions. Oppos-
ing Smith is John C. Lodge, candidate
of the drys, who has been president
of the city council and before that a
member of the leglature and a news
paper man. He declined to do any
campaigning and says little or noth
ing on the subject of prohibition.

AROL, former crown prince of
Rumania, decided that perhaps
he should be placed on the throne
and so wrote a bunch of letters to
bis leading supporters and Rumanian
politicians stating bis position. These
were antrusted to M. Manoilescu, for
mer undersecretary of state, who was
arrested with the documents in his
possession. Determined to suppress
any movement to enthrone Carol, the
government grabbed hundreds of his
friends in various parts of the coun-
try, and put Rumania under martial
{aw with large bodies of troops placed
in strategical positions and a strict
censorship established. Premier Bra.
tiano announced that the plot had
peen entirely squelched, but at this
writing the news that is seeping
across the border indicates that the
Carol movement Is assuming mote
alarming proportions. Opponents of
the government in Bukharest were
sald to be greatly aroused, especial
ly after it was reported that Bratiano
intended to arrest Juliu Manin, lead
er of the national peasant party.
General Avarescu, once the ally of
Bratiano but now his enemy, is
credited with starting this Cuarolist
movement. The prince is at St. Malo
on the French seacoast. Recently he
ostentatiously separated from Magda
Lupescu, for whom deserted bis
wife. It is said that among the seized
letters was one from Magda her
parents saying the announcement of
her break with “a dear friend” was a
formality only.

OLORADO'S eoal mine strike,
which is managed by the Indus
trial Workers of the World, Is becom
ing more serious. Two of the state's
largest coal fields are closed and new
mines are involved daily. The lead
ers persist in picketing mines despite
to this time they have done this peace
ably, though they threaten to “march
through the state with cannon” if any
of their pickets are killed. Governor
Adams says the strikers are violating
the state law which prescribes that
thirty days’ notice shall be given be
fore a walkout, and he will not deal
with the members of the L W. Ww.
which Colorado does not reccgnize as
a bona fide labor organization. The
governor, however, has declined so far
to send troops into the field, stating
that the county officials must preserve
order until they are ready to admit
that they are unable to do so. The
people of Colorado fear a repetition
of the civil warfare that swept the
state in 1913 and 1914, enlminating in
the battle of Ludlow. The miners de
mand a wage increase from $5.50 a
day to $8.50, an eight-hour day and a
five-day week.
REAR ADMIRAL MAGRUDER, who
was so presumptuous as to crit-
jeize the management of the navy in
a magazine article, was relieved of
his command at Philadelphia by Secre-
tary of the Navy Wilbur and ordered
to report to Washington because he
had “talked too much” since the pub-
lication of that article. “1 do net
feel.” the secretary said, “that the
secretary’ of the navy should be com-
pelled to get information from naval
officers concerning plans for the navy
organization by obtaining newspapers
or magazines in which such informa-
tion is published. Such officers are
paid by the government to render this
gervice to the people and such informa-
tion should be presented to regularly
constituted authority by appropriate
channels.”
Admiral Magruder sent to President
Coolidge a letter asking for a revoca-
tion of the order detaching him from
duty at Philadelphia, but the chief
executive declined to interfere or to
gee the admiral,

IFTEEN universities in the United
States are openly teaching socialist
beliefs, while proponents of commue
nism and internationalism are using the
Federal Council of Churches, the Y.
M. C. A. the League of Women Voters
and eollege organizations to foster dis
trust of the government, according to
Fred Marvin of New York. He made
this statement in an address before
the annua! convention of the Reserve
Officers’ Association of the United
States in Milwaukee,
“Those engaged in subversive work
szalnst the government are using the
Y. M. €. ‘A. with great effect to fur
ther their ends” Mr. Marvin de
clared. “The leaders this work
are secretaries the organizatios
who were in Russia during the reve
iation. While this is being done with-
out the consent or knowledge of the
great bulk of men and women who
support the organization, the prope
pente of communism are in executive
positions and are having their own
way.
Relative to the League of Women
Voters and the Federal Council of
Churches, Mr. Marvin said: “These
are high-class organizations formed by
high-minded persons, but in some lo-
calities they have been misled into
supporting the policies of the subver-
give forces, The Y. M. C. A. and the
Federal Council of Churches are inno-
cently led to support those who seek
to destroy the government in the be:
lief that the propaganda is terding to
advance the teachings of Christ and

BASRERS of the United States, at
their annual convention in Hous
ton, Texas, devoted a lot of attention
to flood control and agricultural re-
lief. on both of which they urged leg-
{elation. Thomas Ross Preston of
Chattanooga, Tenn., was elected presi-
dent.
Mayor Thompson of Chicago, who
has been ballyhooing about flood con.
trol, received a letter from Repre-
sentative Cole of lowa asking him not
to “make vaudeville stuff” out of ef.
forts to solve the Mississippi river
problem, What assistance the con.
gressmen are in need of, Mr. Cole
said, ought to be supplied by scientists
and engineers, “and not by mass

gion trains.” He added that brass
