G. 0. P. SEEKS TO WIN LA FOLLETTE’S STATE Extensive Lean to Germany to Aid in Reparations Problem Planned as Vote-Getter. DAWES DOMINANT FACTOR Believed to Have Already Captured German-American Aid. "BY FREDERICK WILLIAM WILE. Bpecial 1 b to The Sgar. CHICAGO, 1N, June 17.—Plans are faturing within the high command of the Republican party for one of the most dramatic coups ever executed by a political party in the United States. They contemplate the cap- ture of the vote of the state of Wis- onsin from the supposedly invinci- le grip of Robert Marion La Fol- ette. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Pres dent Coolidge's running mate, is the main instrument by which the ap- parently impossible is to be accom- plished. Dawes' record in unravel- ing the reparations tangle is the basis of the attack which is to be made ggainst the principal citadel of La Folletto strength. But between now and election time gnother and entirely different offen- sive will be launched. It will con- sist, if certain prospective arrange- ments are carried out, of an extensive loan of American capital to the Ger- | man - government for the purpose of fulfilling Germany's reparations obli- gations. The expectation behind all these schemes, which are now only in the tentative stage is that their fruition would harnces the vast Ger- man-American_vote in Wisconsin se- curely to the Republican ticket. “The transaction in question would have the hearty support of the Cool- idge administration in the same sense that the recent $100,000,000 Ameri- can credit to France had. The deal would be of a magnitude and char- acter, it is calculated, to make every German-American voter in Wisconsin a Coolidge-and-Dawes rooter. It would automatically wean such voters away from their traditional allegiance to La Follette, according to G. O. P. calculations. Loyal During War. Here in Chicago, which is the po- Iitical capital of hyphenated “Ger- man-America” and the seat of the new German-American Citizens' Alli- ance, it is pointed out that La Fol- lette’s anti-war record in 1917 no longer makes its old-time appeal to voters of Teutonic origin. Although that element was naturally pro-Ger- man during the days of our neutral- ity in the world war, German-domi- nated Wisconsin gave a remarkable account of itself once we were the T'S enemies. It went over the handsomely and promptly on the asion of all liberty loan drives. It was among the first of the states to bring forward its full quota of troops for our expeditionary forces. While the war was on Wisconsin prided itself on having given an un- exceptionable account of itself. Today war rancors in the German element of Wisconsin are back num- bers. It is now interested only in anything that tends to the economic rehabilitation of the fatherland. It thinks “Charley” Dawes rendered berculean service in that direction. It believes Germany got a square deal from the reparations commis- sion which Dawes dominated. It is ocorrespondingly friendly toward him at this hour. If, in addition to grati- tude for services already rendered Germany, Dawes were now able to lend a hand in so important a mat- ter as a great American loan to the Germans, his stock in Wisconsin is bound to mount even higher. In its upward ascent German-American leaders in_Chicago assert, the star of Robert Marion La Folleite will be ocorrespondingly in the descendant Several States Affected. What Wisconsin German-Americans do. German-Americans in other west- ern states are expected to do. They are still a vital factor in states like lilinois, Minnesota, lowa and Ne- braska. 1f Wisconsin's German- American citizens turn to Dawes on “gratitude issue,” their confreres vhere are likely to do likewise. T at least, ar the air castles in which' the G. O. P. management here- abouts is rosily indulging. . The loan transaction is something more than hearsay. This writer has authority for saying that it is under consideration in responsible Wall street quarters. The firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., the nation’s foremost international bankers, would not be disinterested in the project. Dwight Morrow, a mem- ber of that house, was at Amherst with Calvin Coolidge, and Harlan Fiske Stone, now Attorney General, once was identified with Morgan legal interests before he was summoned to the Department of Justice a few weeks ago. Called Farmer Candidate. Dawes candidacy is indescrib- ably popular here in the soldier- banker-diplomat's home town. The suburb of Evanston, where he lives, is preparing to give him a rip-snort- ing celebration tonight. William Jen- nings Bryan is spreading the doc- trine hereabouts that the Coolidge- Dawes ticket is a “Wall street” ticket, but Bryan could easily ascertain, if he wanted to, that the western bank- cr is_today the western farmer's best friend and closest ally. The farming west, in_fact, is being “carried” by the banking fraternity. Dawes, as The Death Ray Einstein’s View of Matthews’ Find BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Radio to The Star and Chblcago Daily News.

Included in the seizurc were 1.000 gallons of mash. 300 gallons of whis- ky. two tons of sugar, one ton of which was taken to Baltimore: 1.000 pounds of corn meal, 1,250 half-gal- Jon jars, one speed wagon and more than a ton of coal. A team of horses also was captured, but ran away with the wagon to which they were hitched The prisoners are Lewis Williams and Jack Sneeze, colored, of Balti- more, and Sam Hicks, white, of Bal- timore County, Md. The raiding party was headed by Agents T. E. Wheeler, L. J. Tutt, W. E. Burrell. R. A. Willlams. O. E. Fish- er, R. L. Livingston and Bentz. CIGAR NAME PROTECTED. Words “Tampa” and “Havana’” Must Be True, Is U. S. Ruling. Use of the words “Havana” and “Tampa” in connection with the sale of cigars manufactured from tobacco not grown in Cuba and not manufac- tured in Tampa. Fla, was declared by the Federal Trade Commission to- day to be an unfair method of com- petition. The ruling was made in_the case of C. N. Dellinger of Red Lion, Pa., and John M. Thomas of Indianapolis, who were charged with branding clgars “Havana” and “Tampa” which Were made in Red Lion of domestic tobacco. _ The commission declared the brand “has the tendency and ca- pacity to deceive the purchasing public” and they were ordered to de- sist from such practice. et Girls like to dress as boys, but boys don't like to dress as girls because they're afraid of pneumonia. —— a banker, therefore is claimed to be as logical a farmer's candidate for the vice presidency as could have been put up. The Illinois Republican factional situation is giving the Coolidge man- agement some_concern. Dawes openly opposed Gov. Lem Small for renomi- nation in the spring primaries and has frequently expressed himself “hell-and-Maria” fashion about the state executive. Bill Thompson also is incorrigibly anti-Dawes.

Unless something unexpectedly devel- opes in the meantime this reception will be held in Washington, and the date to be selected will be around July 20.° The only thing possible to cause the holding of this notificationt elsewhere than Washington would be the decision on the part of President Coolidge to set up a summer White House, but according to expressions made by him to callers today he hasn't the slightest idea of doing this. He intimated that probably later in the summer, if- the weather gets too sizzling, a5 he expressed it, he and the members of his family may g0 to some cooler spot for two or three weeks, but not longer. Confers on Tax Board. President Coolidge today held a conference with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon regarding the ap- pointment of the twenty-eight men to constitute the tax appeal board ocreated by the new tax law. They discussed principally the personnel and the President let it be known later than he and Mr. Melion are espe- cially anxious to obtain the services for this important work of men of known ability and experience because of the nature of the work and be- cause of the large sums of money that will be involved many times while they are sitting upon this board. The compensation allowed by Congress is $7.500, which sum the President admits is praving somewhat of a handicap Jn landing just the type of men the administration is seeking for this body. It may be that some of the men now in the government service, or especially the Treasury Department, may be appointed to this board, but the President thinks that it will be more advantageous to bring in men not now in public office who will as- sume new duties, fresh from the at- mosphere outside of Washington and with a point of view of the public different probably from that held by men now in governmental positions. This board will sit as a regular court and will proceed upon lines corre- sponding to a court. SLEMP DENIES CLASH. Disagreed With Butler Methods, But Made No Threats. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio. June 17.—Pub- lished reports of any disagreement between him and William M. Butler, Republican national committee chair- man, were overdrawn, said C. Bascom Slemp. secretary to President Cool- idge, on his arrival here today from Washington. “The published reports of any dis- agreement between me and Mr. Butler were considerably overdrawn,” said Mr. Slemp. “The statement that I had gone to the Presicent and threat- ened to resign was also much strong- er than the facts of the case. “I went to the Cleveland convention merely to observe how things were go- ing on and to pick up what facts I cculd that I believed should be reported to the President. I noticed that there was some dissatisfaction on the part of some of the Republican lerders that they were nct being consulted by Mr. Butler in the running of the conven- tion, and it appeared to me, as well as to them. that he ought not to a: ualistic em of the coming presidential campaign.
