Davis now Demo date for president, in certain famous p dings in a coal strike that oc- curred in cent West Virginia in 1902, The one thing that has aggravated the matter was a letter written by William B. Wilson, for: ary of labor in the Wilson cabinet ting the reverse on the ets and claiming Mr. Davis was the friend of labor and aided it in that famous struggle. The authentic court record is contain- ed in the following brief summary of the r se whole situation and it-contains nothing to prove the alleged friendliness of Mr. Day The mine strike of 1902 was the most serious that ever took place in central West Virginia: “Mother” Jones, Thomas ‘ 1 rerty other representatives of i United 1¢ Workers of America, ke frequentiz in the Clarksburg and rmont district and urged the miners to stick by the union as their only sal- vation. The operaters, the coal interests, em- ployed the best of legal talent, and th lawyers took the injunction route as a to keep the mines operating on mcaus Casper Sundap Cribune! the non union or open shop basis. Brief: ly here was what took place: The Guaranty Trust confpany of New York held bonds to the amount of about 92,500,000 against the Clarksburg Fuel company, and through its attorneys, among them John W. Davis, an injune- ticn was asked of Judge John J. Jack- son in United States Circuit court, at Parkersburg. It was the contention of the plaintiff that if the United Mine Workers of America continued to inter- fere h the Clarksburg Fuel company that company could not operate its mines and therefore could not pay its debts to the Guaranty company. Judge Jackson granted the temporary restraining order June 20, 1902. The records on file show that the case styled “Guaranty' Trust company of York against» Thomas Haggerty, fother” Jones and others.” A complete record of the case may be found on page 510 of the “116th Federal Reporter,” a law book on file in almost every law- fer's office. There it will be seen that on rule for contempt Judge Reese Bliz- zard, then United States district attor- A. B. Fleming, W. 8. Meredith, John Davis and E. F. Hartley appeared as or in other words represented the plainiff. For the defendants the “Fed- eral Reporter” shows that V. B. Archer John F. Coniff, Charles D. Johnson and A. G. Aigkerson appeared. Is there anything in the foregoing record to indicate that “John W. Dayis volunteered his services to defend them?” meaning “Mother” Jones, Thomas Hag- gerty and other representatives of the United Mine Workers of America, as stated by Mr. Wilson, the former sec- , in his attempt to de- fend Mr. Davis’ labor record. Now, as you proceed further you will see just what happened to the represen- tatives of the United Mine Workers of a as shown by the court records, thentictty of which cannot ‘be joned. After the injunction had been grant- ed counsel for the pla ff filed a num- ber of affidavits setting forth that its provisions had Seen violated and -pray- i that “Mother” Jones, Thomas Hag- Williant Morga Peter Wilson, forge Ravan and restrained of their words placed in in other rds do not show that John W. peared in their behalf or vol- named persons’ were arrested in July, 1902, at the direction of Judge John J. jackson, and that all except “Mother” Jones were taken to Parker burg and placed in the Wood county jail. C.D, HMiott, then United States m hal iy the northern district, and J. W. Dudley, then sheriff and jailer of Wood county, served the papers on the defendants. Mother” Jon ras arrested but was never placed in jail. Acco ling to Re- publican leaders of Parkersburg, the judge did not commit her to jail because that was what she was striving for in order that she martyr to her cause. The case was con- tinued from time to time and finally it was dismissed June 11, 1904, at the cost of the plai John W. s, along with the other atte ‘ys for the plaintiff took part in every proceeding of the court. He helped to get the injungtion for the coal inter- ests, he helped to bring about the of “Moth Jones : violations of the temporar. order; and he did not dc them in any way, but h attorneys engaged b; represented his cliex ecute them, The Heaviest Cross This is-a three cornered political cam- paign.- There is a possibility, a remote one, however, that the senate may be foreed to select the next president from among the leading vice presidential can- didates. This makes the views of vice presidential candidates of more than us- nal interest. The texture and qualities of their minds become of more than ordi- nary importance. Governor Bryan of Nebraska Demo presi - In his speech of acceptance at Lincoln he confirms some of the worst fears of his own party and of the sober-thinking voters John W. Davis has scrapped and re- melted some of his own convictions*and poured them into the mold of a Demo- cratic platform dictated by “Bryanism” and its vicious offshoot* “McAdooism.” Governor Bryan finds himself hampered even by that platform. It goes far to- ward radicalism, but he yearns to go farther. Labor he loves, and he pats the common people on the back, but the farmer is his special care. He hears him- self voice erying in the wilder. ness of farm woe. In that voice are the echoes of all the outworn doctrines that haye been tried so often and that have so often failed, He thinly veils the older Bryan yearn- ings for “soft money” and an inflated currency behind his assault on “defla- tion.” The big farm organizations helped write the present tariff and put into it everything they could think of to protect their wheat, corn, meats, hides, oils, dairy and poultry. prod- ucts, but Governor Bryan holds that tariff .as wholly iniquitous, A little while ago the Bryan lk de- manded credits and more farm credits. Now the governor finds the farmer gasp- ing in a sea of credit and wants more vague legislative and administrative remedies. With farm prices at new high levels, he wants laws raising these high er and lowering the cost of what the farms must buy. Farmers, hurt by crop surpluses have been urged to cut acre The Nebraskan wants more arid lands reclaimed to add more acreage. He suggests laws and more jaws; laws reducing freight rates for the farmer laws creating export corporations to dc the farmer's foreign marketing; 4aws to thing to aid like the other the coal interests, and helped to pros might play the role of|® Che Casner Sunhav Cribune : create more burenus despite the Bryan assault on useless boards and agencies, He asks laws to seal up coal, iron, oil, timber and other natural resources and ucts to regulate the goings and comings of business. He protests against the veto- ing of laws authorizing bonuses, pen- sions, subsidies and increased pay. He wants laws to hinder development and destroy individual initiative, but he has never a word for the law of supply and demand now working in the farmer's favor. 7 Governor Bryan, of Nebraska, is the empty gesture to “Outlaw War.” He would be. Dilute pacifism is a part of the Bryanic creed. This state executive attacked tional Defense Day on July 28; but on August 15, changed his mind and asked his state to participate. Now he returns again to his politico-pacifism and) urges \th: propaganda”. be “discouraged by all friends of world peace.” His pacifism, however, is much less dangerous than his economic beliefs. These hark back to the Populism of the vanished eighties and keep step with the fallacies now marching inthe northwest and part of the midwest. He is a polit- ical brother to the Norrises, Brookharts, Magnus Johnsons, Wheelers and Ladds and own cousin to LaFollette, for all that he wears a different party uni- form. The gdvernor’s chief claims to Demo- cratic consideration were few. He is the brother of “The Commoner.” He carried Republican state in 1920. He has sold. a few tanks of gasoline and a few cars of coal to the public in a price crusade. He carries the familiar line of herb-doc- tor tonics and swan oot panaceas. Representing “Bryanism” of the 1924 model, he is trying to swing his party a little farther to “the left” than its own “Left Wing” platform carries it. In fact, the governor is Democracy's heaviest cross. His speech wil] further aienate already alienated and uneasy astern Democrats. The picture.of his possible translation to the White House is enough to give the nation “the creeps” and raise the “gooseflesh” on the nation- al skin, The more active he becomes in te campaign the more surely will con- servatives and san-thinking men in both parties turn to Coolidge as the certain y to block “Bryanism.” Another Dawes Commission “The practical wisdom of President Coolidge is in evidenced in his reso- lution to ma se of the organizing and achieving abilities of General Charles G. Dawes in insfituting the commiszion whose purpose is to investigate agricul- tural conditiohs and report means for i serves the Boston Transeript, th of eptance. of the nomination for the pre lency, Mr. Cool- . nuounced his intention to appoint commission, and pointed out very y the general line which it should The great need of the farming interest is that it should be co-ordinated with other interests. If the farmers work and the lroads, the banks, siness inférests work another, the farmers are sure to suffer, because all nowadays is wrought by organ- ni through co-operation. If east aguinst west, there is sure to be al Joss in the adjustment. Some ymust be devised which will put the ks and business organ- zutions side by side with agriculture in solving the problem presented by the failure of the farms to pay a fair return on the investment of capital and labar which they represent. Inasmuch as the prosperity of the mannfacturing and ling east—whick is also incidentally itural—is bound up with the pros- the gr grain and fruit and stock-producing sections, it is plain to be seen that a solution of the problem is as necessary for the east as for the west. “It is precisely this adjustment which the president is secking to achieve by means of the commission that he is. go- ing to appoint. He outlined the plan thus in his acceptance address: “We now need in agriculture more organization, co-operation and diver- sification. The farmer should have the benefit of legislation providing for flood control and development of inland waterways, better naviga- tion east and south from the Great Lakes, reclamation, and especially relief for those who cannot meet their payments on irrigation proj- ‘ects, But the main problem is mar- keting. Co-operative effort, reorgan- ization of the freight-rate structure, good wages in manufacturing, and the settlement of European affairs will all help to provide better mar- ket conditions. “In General Charles G. Dawes, the country has a man whose abilities, train- ing and experience fit him admirably to inspire and in a general way to direct the activities of such a commission, whether or not he actually heads it. His abilities and record as an orgawizer; as what may be called an engineer of suc- cess, led ta his appointment on the commission of ld-wide importance and fame, known by his name, which in a surprisingly short time proyided a means for the settlement of the repara- tions problem in Europe that all the goy- ernments in interest have accepted, No doubt, and quite properly, the presi- dent hopes for a ‘Dawes commission’ which will settle our agricultural prob- lem, no less vital to us than the repara- tions settlement for Europe. General Dawes will no doubt be able to repeat in this work the brilliant success that he won in Europe. “In a sense the commission now to be appointed repeats the idea of ‘the Roose- velt Country Life commiSsion—a body whose investigations were of great eco- nontic well as social value, but whose efforts were thwarted and suspended for want of congressional support. The agri- cultural crisis has now come to the front ‘n a way that brooks no public indif- “erence. It has got to be settled, arid at ast everybody has come to realize that. The comm on to be appointed by the country will, especially if it has the ad- vantage of General Dawes’ vitalizing and practical hand, attract the interest- ed attention of the whole country, and will accomplish mvch.”” P. T. Barunm By ELDEN SMALL _ We live so rapidly nowadays that it) is very difficult for the present genera- tion to appreciate the unique position held in his day by P.,T. Barnum, the circus man. His pioneer publicity stunts were a revelation then, and he was the most talked of individual in the country, by no means all of the talk being eompli- mentary..In truth, he was most often characterized as the world’s “fake spe- cialist” par excellence, and his “woolly horse,” his “sacred white elephant,” the “what -is-it” and the rest of the sensa- tional circus features figured in acrim- onious arguments for years. It all made good advertising for the “greatest show on earth.” Barnum was tireless and notional in his activities and his ambition. He wrote his own biography, and it sold in unbe- lievable numbers. He toured. the coun- try as a temperance orator, and he brought Jenny Lind, the famous singer, to America for her first tour. It was all ‘good publicity. Then he turned his at- tention to politics. He ran for the Republican nomination for congress in Connecticut, where he lived, and won. The Democrats nomi- nated a William Il. Barnum, in no way related. The showman'made a hot cam- paign, using his advertising ability fully. We challenged ‘the other Barnum to a series of joitit debates, but the offer was declined.» The palatial. P. T. Barnum mansion in Bridgeport was thrown open to ‘political gatherings, his guests in- cluding tle speaker of. the national house and .several United States sena- tors. But influential: Republican leaders and newspapers opposed the showman vigorously, and hg was defeated in the election. : Sometimes By DONA.

By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Gover- nor Al Smith's decision not to run for a third term may be final so far as his own decision is concerned, but the sentiment to draft him for the office is still to be reckoned with, not only because of his popularity but because the leaders themselves may haye to turn to him after they have sized up all the men now belng men- tioned for the place. What is ultimately done about the New York governorship concerns the national campaign vitally. Al Smith showed an ability to carry the state under adverse conditions and now with the klan issue becoming a dommant factor, the selection of Smith to make the race in the end may be compelled by political cir cumstances. There is no man around whom the anti-klan forces would really more enthusiastically to squelch the klan’s ambitions than Al Smith. Tammany at heart wants Al Smith to make’ the race. Judge Olvany, who succeeded Charles F. Murphy as leader of Tammany Hall, plainly showed his regret when he announced after conferring with the New York governor that he did not desire to run again.. He sincerely does not. He wants to go back to private life tnd business. To the argument that he would help the Davis-Bryan ticket more by running for office again, his answer jhas ben that he can help it more by stuniping the eastern states for the national ticket. ‘The national managers are neutral on the question.
