' JAPANESE PLAN “DEFENSE DAY” AND LAFOLLETTE’S MEN PLANNING HARD BATTLE “Whirlwind Campaign” Is The Order, Declare Cam- | *paign Managers of it G.0.P. FIGHT “DIGNIFIED’ By Charles P. Stewart NEA Service Writer Washington, Aug. 22.—The candi- dates’ “acceptance speeches” out of the politicians regard the pres- idential campaign as regularly “on” now. That is to say, Ci didates Davis and Coolidge made “acceptance speeches.” Candidate LaFollette made none. He didn’t consider a formal ceremony necessary. On all sides Senators LaFollette and Wheeler are expected to make a “whirlwind campaign,” especially Senator Wheeler, as a much younger, stronger man than the head of his ticket. However, nobody looks for any restraint on LaFollette’s part. Plenty of restraint is looked for, on the other hand, from President Coolidge. This isn’t pleasing to the Republican “old guard.” They think the president ought to come out and [president ought to come out and | show ‘himself. Chairman Butler of the national committee feels otherwise, He favors a very quiet “White House porch campaign” and all the indications are the president agrees with him. There's friction in Republican cir- cles over this, nevertheless. Vice Presidential Candidate Dawes is expected to furnish most of the +) Republican fireworks. It’s ‘antidipated that \ Candidate Davis’ campaign will be vigorous but very dignified. Just as Candidate Dawes will supply the Republican pyrotechnics, so will Candidate Bry- an furnish them for the Democrats. But there will not be so wide a pread between Candidate Davis’ and candidate Bryan’s activities as be- tween Candidate Coolidge’s and Can- didate Dawe Some politicians say Candidate Davis realizes he's GOT to assert himself pretty energetically or Can- didate Bryan will overshadow him. Leading Democrats are reported not entirely pleased with the way Senator Walsh defended Davis against complaints of the latter's \professional affiliations. They feel to mention murder, treason and fraud as offenses a lawyer doesn’t necessarily sympathize with simply because he has defended clients charged with them. In fact, all isn’t harmony in the Democratic ranks any more than in the Republican. It was proved by the elimination of J. Bruce Kremer as vice chairman when the national committee was reorganized directly after the Davis “acceptance speech.” This looked # little too much like a’ reopening of the Smith-McAdoo fight, considering that Kremer was McAdoo’s floor lieutenant at the New York convention, to pass un- noticed. eae As the contest takes shape, the old-line party managers, on both sides, are confidentially conceding that they think the Progressives would have decidedly the best of the situation—if they, the managers, believed. Progressive-ism were any- where nearly as strong as their re- spective old-line groups. This, how- ever, they don’t admit. Both old parties do say they think LaFollette may run second, but that’s because they're trying to minimize the chances of the opposi- tion group of old-liners—not that they’re trying to “play up” LaFol- lette. But both sides) recognize in La Follette and Wheeler a pair of first; class rough-and-tumble jcampaign- rs, backed, at ‘least at present, by united group of supporters. PLAN FOR NEW [¢ PARTY COLUMN I$ GIVEN UP Reported LaFollette Forces Will Use Individual Nom- inations Column IS RESULT OF PROBE Investigation of Committee Member Is Against Feasi- bility of Plan The committee named at the recent LaFollette ' organization conference here to investigate the possibility of establishing a new party in this state, ang gain a column on the No- vember ballot with LaFollette’s name at the head has not held a meeting, according to local members, vut it is understood in political circles that the idea has been discarded. The LaFollette electoral candidates, it is expected, will be run in the in- dividual nominations column, with a party designation after their name. This is expected to make it of ad- vantage to the LaFollette forces for the four Republican electors, who ate LaFollette men, to withdraw from the Republican column. L. J. Wehe of this city. a member of the committee, suid today he had investigated the matter personally and was of the opinion that a separ- ate column under party designation could not be obtained by the LaFol- lette forces under the law. John Bloom, editor of the North Dakota Nonpartisan, said that he understood that the idea had been given up, and also that there would not be a La- Follette convention to nominate elec- tors, either on September 1 or 3. It had been reported that the At- torney-General would be asked for an opinion’ on the new party idea, but no such request has been made to date. The Farmer-Labor Party will have a mass convention here on September 3, under a call of R, H. Walker chair ‘man, the purpose being to perfect an wrganization, adopt a platform and hitepare for the coming campaign. United States Senator Lynn J. Frazier is expected to come to North Dakota soon to aid in organ- izing the LaFollette campaign. Sen- ator Frazier, according to informa- tion here, will soon be in Minne- sota, on the White Earth Indian reservation with an investigating committee, and then will come to North Dakota SOCIAL REVOLT IN U. $8. SEEN BY W.Z. FOSTER Democracy we Live Under Is Declared Fake by Pres- idential Aspirant Minneapolis, Aug. 22.—William Z. Foster of Chicago, presidential nom- inee of the Workers party, gave the first of three scheduled Minnesota addresses in Minneapolis last night. Speaking before a crowd in a local park, Foster asserted “the Democ- racy we live under is a fake and pretense,” and he invited his audi- ence to “join the Workers party and become a member of the interna- tional Communistic organization of the world on the eve of the great- est revolution in history.” Foster referred to the present government in Russia as “an ideal workers’ government,” declaring? that it wasn’t tactful in the senator! that “the Soviet system is the next step in the social evolution of Am- erica.” He characterized Senator Robert M. LaFollette’s presidential candi. dacy as catering to the “small capi- talists—the smatl businessmen, mer- chants and some farmers—” and as- serted that “when the workers be- come more powerful in this country LaFollette, Gompers and the small capitalists will rise with dhe big capitalists to squelch us.” Foster referring to national de- fense day as “mobilization day,” as- serted it was “another step toward another great war.” He said there would continue to be wars so long as the workers do not get all that they produce and so long as huge surpluses of the world’s products are piling up.” Foster said that “while the other parties: are advancing as the main issues of the campaign, such things as the tariff, the Klan and the world court we ate putting our finger on the source of trouble. That is the cancer on society and we propose to remove that cancer by a surgical operation and that operation will be @ social revolution.” Today Foster is speak at Duluth. scheduled to The oldest schoolmaster in Eng- land is D.

SAYS COOLIDGE DODGES ISSUE OF CORRUPTION’ Republican ‘Party Must Bear Responsibility for Scan- dals in Office SPEAKS IN NEW JERSEY Candidate for President Tells Views of Coolidge’s Acceptance Seagirt, N. J., Aug. Davis, Democratic pres! 29, —John W. ential candi- date, made it clear in an address} here today, that in his judgment Pres. Coolidge failed in his accept- ance address to meet the issue of cor- ruption in ‘his administration. + Re- fering specifically to the oil, Veter- ans Bureau, and prohibition scandals, Mr. Davis declared that the Republi- can party could not escape the re-| sponsibility of raising the men to power and keeping them there, Then he added: “If the fact is that the public resources have been squandered, is it answered to day that a budget system has been in- stalled 2” “If unfit and corrupt men have been put and kept in office and left to their own devices is it sufficient defense that the administration was not actually desitous of.their wrong: doing? If the wounded veteran has been defrauded from that when) is his due, is it any comfort to that Congress may make lavish pe propriations? Mr. Davis said that those who ask- ed the public to pretend that the act of those public officials involved in the scandals were “simple indiscre tions which should be overlooked when there is “sign of repentance” assumed “a degree of indifference or lack of interest, on the part of the people which would be itself a re- flection on popular government.” “If it be true that public interest has waned,” he asked, “Is it not a public duty, that it be revived be- fore the day of public judgment.” INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE TO MEET AUG. 26 Will Consider Plans For Ac- tion and Calling of a Mass Convention Fargo, Aug. 22—Conferees appoint- ed by the Republicans, the Dem- ocrats and the Independent Voters Association for theepurpose of con- sidering steps intended to bring about the naming of a ticket of candidates for all state offices to oppose the Nonpartisan League can- didates will meet in Fargo at 10 a. m. on August 26, it was announced today. In accord with the spirit of the resolutions that were adopted by the several groups that it is sought to bring together in the coming elec- tion, the question to be considered will be the calling of a state con- vention for the indorsement or nom- ination of a ticket of candidates all the way from Governor down. In previous elections it has been possible to bring about harmony of action on the part of the several in- terested groups, and it is regarded as likely that a working agreement can be perfected in the coming con- ference. The committee is made up of the followin, Republicans, M. L. McBride, Dick- inson; E. T. Burke, Bismarck; George Robbins, Grand Forks. Democrats, J. W. McHose, and V: R. Lovell, Fargo; J, N.

Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, commander of the flight, landed at 6:10 p. m. and Lieut. Erick Nelson at 7:15 p. m. The airmen left here at 8: 15 o'clock this morning. No word has been received as to the landing of the Italian avia- tor, Lieut. Locatelli, who accompanied them on the flight. Previously the Richmond, Reid, Billingsley and. Barry had sighted them passing each ship on scheduled time and flying low so as to receive the benefit of the cushioning ef- fect of the water. Lieut. Locatelli, who had flown to Reykjavik from Pisa, Italy, in order to accompany Lieuts. Smith and Nelson, was using a faster plane than the Americans and in the early stages of the flight had outdistanced his companions.
