Holds Position Known. Mr. Meredith said that the rank and file of the party in Iowa fully knew the position he desires to see the party take upon economic problems, including prohibition and farm reli and that he would consider it a ve great compliment to have them take such action as will bring this about. “Your suggestion that I become a candidate for the Democratic presi- dential nomination is, of course, ap- preciated by me, and in justice to you and the many other friends who have likewise importuned me I feel that T should make my position in the mat- ter perfectly clear. “For many months I have avoided doing or saving anything which might place me in the position of being a can- didate for the nomination.

Speaking at a meeting at which the presidential qualifications of other Re- publicans also were extolled. Mr. Mills sald he ored Hoover ‘“because. by reason of his natural ability and genius: the extent and character of his train- ing. knowledge and experience: his courage. decisiveness and resourceful- ness, and his record of service, he is supremely well qualified to fill the office of President at this particular time.” “Hoover is the man for us to nomi- nate,” he concluded, “because, as pa- triotic Americans, we are bound to pre- sent our best man: he is the man to nominate because he is the one date for whom there is nation-wide popular support; he is the man to nom- inate because, as one of the leading members of the Coolidge administra- tion, he has helped to shape its poli- cles and can be relled upon to continue them: he is the man to nominate be- cause of his ability, experience, record. character and personality; and, finally he is the man to nominate because I have a very definite conviction that the American people look to the Republican partv to give him to the Nation, and we dare not disappolot them.” NEW WINDOW SHADES o cortainty _xive the desired and pleasant_ aspect of Sprinc Freshness Order Yours Today Take Advantage of Our Special ° FACTORY PRICE: On n Shaded Antique Roman Shaded Modified Roman Shaded Old English Trinity Text Script ave the approved engravings for and v be on ( Wedding Announcements witations that should rane's Kid Finish paper, EnoraviNg Bretion, Fiar Froon Of the three only one has avowed his | | readiness to carry on.” SATURDAY., MARCH 17. 1928 GIOVANNI MARTINELLI'S RECITAL. The popular leading tenor of the Metropolitan ra. Co., Glovanni Mar- tinelli, whose glorious robusto voice has won him acclaim by many as the suc- cessor of Caruso, apeared in a reci of songs and operatic arlas that de lighted an unusually enthusiastic ca- pacity audiepce at Poli's Theater yes- terday afternocon. At the beginning temperamental storm clouds threatened. for it seemed that Signor Martinelli's manager had given him the impression that this was to be an evening concert. “As a result the great tenor had just ar- rived in town and with only a full dress sult in which to appear. He was quite upset about the matter and a consider- able time elapsed before he would con- sent to appear on the stage. Also the program as sent to Mrs. Greene, the local manager, did not meet fully with his approval, and he chose to chenge an entire group of songs. However, the persistent applause of | p, the audience won, and after the pro- longed and extremely appreciative ap- plause that rewarded his opening num- ber, the beautiful aria, “O Paradiso,” from Meyerbeer's ‘Africaine,” the singer seemed to lose his irritations and to become every minute more expansive and more genially friendly toward his audience until he granted at the very end the much-wanted “La Donna e Mobile,” from “Rigoletto. Martinelli has a fine voice and showed throughout his program the principles of the real Italian bel canto excellently app'ied, with fine breath control, good attack, clear spinning tones, melting planissimos and strong fortissimos that were sung and not shouted. One of his loveliest numbers was Tosti's “The Last Song,” encore to the Tmup that in- cluded the tflu-uy beautiful “Aprile” of Tosti and “Nuit d'Etolles,” by Debussy. The substituted numbers for his final solo group were “Carissima che Bianca,” by Donaudy: “The Moon,” by Bagby, and “Song of the Night,” by Thomas. Quite the most generally appreciated of his numbers were the “Celeste Alda” and the inevitable “Vestl la guibba,” from I Pagliaccl,” arias. Assisting Signor Martinelli was a charming mezzo-soprano. Ada Paggi, who sang with careful artistry and well placed tones. She was at her best i the “Cavatina” from “Les Huguenot: with its intricate cadenzas. and her two encores. “Ay.
