The ntional capital has just honored two psng men who are today the forest singers of old - time songs, fernon Dalhart, bom in Jefferson, Isas and Carson J. Robison, from hr they Kansas. Chetopa, came from folks who lived close to the soil and both of these singers were bom of such folks and grew up among them. Dalhart used to think he was an opera singer. For seven years he sang opera tunes to Thomas A. Edison, only to be turned down every time. Then one day he forgot all his highfalutin ideas of singing and, going back to his southern accent, sang Cant Hear Me Callin, Caroline? into Mr. Edisons ear trumpet. He has been making records for Mr. Edison ever since. Yo MILITARY TRAINING IS FREE TO YOUNG MEN The citizens military camp will be held at Fort Douglas this year, June 17 to July 16.

Washington, D. C., May 6th . The presidents speech in New York last week before the United Press Associations, was his twelfth important public address beyond the confines of the capital in the Bpan of almost four years since his entry into the White House in August, 1923. His record in this respect reveals his studied purpose to make his speaking engagements outside of Washington few and far between. No President has received more invitations to go about the country; and no President has accepted less. It is becoming increasingly apparent that Mr. Coolidge intends no change in this policy. Thanks to the radio, more persons will have heard his voice before he quits office than ever heard the voice of a single man in the history of the world. But speaking tours never, and public appearances in person away from the seat of government, very seldom. That is a fixed idea with President Coolidge from which nothing and nobody will budge him. His present New York trip was his fourth visitation there during his presidency. His attendance at the United Press dinner evened up the honors between the two grat news gathering agencies. For three years ago, almost to the very day, he addressed the annual luncheon of the Associated Press; likewise in New York City. Mr. Coolidge was in the White House six months before he accepted a single invitation to speak, which involved his leaving the capital. Then on February 12, 1924, Lincolns birth- day he travelled to New York City and addressed the diners at a banquet of the Republican Club of, the Empire state It is noteworthy that this is the only occasion in the entire four years that he has spoken under partisan auspices. During the entire presidential campaign following his nomination in Cleveland in June, except for a patriotic address at Cambridge, Mass., in July, while he was sojourning at the summer White House nearby, he made but one speech outside of Washington. Then he went to Baltimore, 40 mile3 away. There, on September 6th, he delivered his notable Lafayette Birthday speech, dealing with world peace and his attitude toward the World Court. After the election he went to Chicago and on December 4th, at the International Live Stock Exposition, and discussed farm relief and co- operative marketing. The following June, 1925, he attended the Norwegian Centennial celebration in Minnesota. In October, 1925, another western trip, this time to Omaha, Nebraska, to address the American Legion convention. His third visit to New York came a month later, to address the New York Chamber of Commerce. During 1926 he acepted four invitations which necessitated more or less travelling, two in the spring and two in the autumn. On May 15th he I motored to Williamsburg, Virginia, to the anniversary exercises at the College of William and Mary. al Then came his visit to the at Philadelphia on July 5th. Last November Mr. Coolidge once more visited the West to dedicate the Liberty Memorial at Kansas City. Fourth and last for 1926 was his address at Trenton, New Jersey, on December 29th, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the battle of Sequi-centenni- Trenton. So the record stands: Four speeches in 1924; three in 1925 and four in 1926. Four appearances in New York, and once each in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Trenton, Chicago Minnesotas twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City. Once an invitation from a newspaper organization, once an invitation from a commercial organization, twice American Legion meetings, and the others expositions and celebrations. PRIMARY ELECTION. (By N. P. S.) Washington, D. C., May 6. In 29 of the states where U. S. senators were elected in 1926, the nominations were made by the direct primary. In 17 of the 19, the primary vote settled the election. A clear majority of all the senators elected in 1926, virtually received their certificates of election from the primary. There is much food for thought in this state of affairs. In the southern group: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina, the vote for senator in the Democratic primary exceeded the vote in the general election by large margins, running up to 500 per cent. The aggregate primary vote for senator was two and one-hatimes the total general election vote for senator. When the primareis closed in the summer time, the elections were over. Similar in general result, though not by so conclusive a margin, was the senatorial contest in the following nine Republican states California, Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsyi-vani- t, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin. Tne total vote for Republican senatorial candidates in these nine states was 4,741,930 in the primaries, against 3,369,178 votes for Republican nees in November. Reduced to percentages, the primary vote exceeded the general election vote by 40 per cent in nine Republican . lf states. Among the striking examples of the power of the primary in settling sena- torial contests,, the following are interesting. Senator Caraway of Arkansas was nominated in the August primary by 220,816 votes, and elected in November by a political gesture of 28,168 votes. Georgias Democratic primary re- Senator George brought out 190,190 votesrs of whom only 6 returned to the polls in November. Senator Smith's primary contest brought to the polls 160,262 South Carolina Democrats but when November 2nd came around only 14,560 attended the fall ratification. nominating 47,-36- |
