Business men are thrilled and satisfied. Pol- iticlans are somewhat skeptical, for they are not sure that a multimil- Norairo ts 9 good choice in these days of LaFollette and Bro khart, -thix era cf conf.ict between the ag leultural West and the banking East, Mr. Dawes ts ,robably richer than any man, ever nm minated to de vice president or prerident, with the poxsibin exception of Garrett Ho- bart, ‘Wille Mr. Dawes is worth several millions, however, he is not reputed to be as wealthy as the secretary of the treasury, Andrew ‘W. Mellon. But there is already an indication among the radical leaders here that they will lay stress not on the method he acquired his fortune. for there is no disposition here to imply anything irregular in that respect, but upon the viewpoint which holds toward labor as a con- sequence of his banking and bust ness background. Mr. Dawes, as head’ of the Cen- tral Trust company of Illinois, is in close touch with the New York banking community and it was his bank which led all the rest Ip this region In participating In the recent loan floated by J. P. Morgan and Company @or the French govern- ment. He has been outspoken in his views about the need of finan- cial co-operation with Burope. He is one of the largest stockhoiders aiso in the Pure Ol] Company, in fact, together with his brothers, owns that mammoth concern, His brother, Henry, is the president of the company which {fs one of the largest independent concerns in America. Charlie Dawes, as he is familiarly called here, is, however, well lked and more of a mixer than the ay- erage business man, He is an ex- pert at economics and has written authoritative works on banking, in fact, he owes his first appointment as comptroller of the currency to that work. 1t is a coincidence that last year the late President Hard- ing appointed his brother to the same post in the treasury. Mr. Harding was very fond of Mr. Dawes. He,took him along on the trip to Florida and enjoyed his companionship as much aa that of any man tn the Inner circle. Mr. Harding was particularly appre- clative of the fine public spirit shown by Mr. Dawes in leaving his business and coming to the govern ment as the first director of the Dudget. It ts due largely to the tn- itiative and aggressive. tactics of Charles G. Dawes that the budget fw today operating as well as it does. Although Mr. Dawes’ antipathy toward labor {s well known, it is unlikely that he will trim his views to meet political exigencies. He ts not that kind. He has paid his respect to the waverings of polltl- clans in such strong language that his whole make-up would rebel at the suggestion of backtracking. He @id not seek the vice presidency. The joh sought him. He ts proud of the organization which he cre- ated, known as the “Minute Men of the Constitution.” It is im line with his ideas about the “open \whop" witch he regards as a fun- damental issue in American indus- one} try.” men without and that employers should not have shop” issue is one that many bus- iness men would welcome as a good one on which to make a test once and for all, the political leaders are not anxious to have a controversy on labor, when President Coolidge has been able to a large extent, to make his labor opponents forget his vigorous stand toward the American Federation of Labor in the famous Boston police strike. has said, hoping to convince the electorate that they are voting on a fundamental question of friend- ship or hostility toward labor. As a matter of fact, a vice president has very little to do with the shap- ing of executive or lative poll- cles. Mr. Dawes permitted listen to senatorial de- bates. ‘Ifshe sits in the cabinet, he will @ chance to express his a’ the influence Mr. Dawes: wield; if elected, will depend largely on whether President ‘ool will follow. Mr. Harding’s custom in usking the vice president to sit at the cabinet table. Whether he. does or not, Mr, Dawes is the type who would find something in the rules that would make his job more interesting. The comments from the chair would make good reading and rouse the senate over which, if successful next November, he would preside.
