A few days later Tom came to Charlotte and thieves got the fliv- ver. Yesterday Tom and Bud came here in an effort to ascertain whether cr not the car was among 47 recovered, when a xgang of automobile thieves was rounded up here recently. Numbers had been switched and the cars repainted. But Bud would not be denied. “That's your flivver, Tom,” Bud opined. “I stuck a wad of chewing gum in the top while 1 was playing and T'll bet its still there” e s MACHILLAN GIVEN VET BUREAU POST Named Community Manager | at Rehabilitation Center at Perry Point, Md. 1 i i | Appointment of Dr. M.

Idaho, Republi ©* Sarator Johnson, Farmer-Labor, Minnesota. Complete personnel of the campaign | committee had not been determined last night. A meeting of the commit- tee will be held here as soon as po: sible, perhaps late this week. as those who have thus far been directing the campaign are of the opinion that lit- tle real progress can be made until it_begins to_function, The committee will have complete charge of the campaign. It will map out strategy consultation with Senators La Follette and Wheeler; will have the last word to say on the financing of the campaign from the standpoint of both contributions and expenditures; will make® arrange- ments for placing the La Follette- Wheeler ticket on the ballot in the various States, and will determine what State organizations recognition should be recognized and what local candidates seeking in- dorsement should be indorsed. One of of its ithportant functions will be to canvas the fleld of congressional can- didates with a view to determining who should be supported and to de- “ide_under what name the tieket is to be placed om ballots in_ each of the States * The committee is to be made up of representatives of the two candidates and of the conference in an effort to co-ordinate campaign activities. Its headquarters, for the present at least, probably will be in Washington, al- though later its base may be moved to Chicago, where Mr. Nelson main- tains headquarters. Both Senator La Follette and his vice presidential candidate continued informal conferences today with ad visers on varied phases of the can paign program. Both are agreed that the drive for votes should be launch- ed in the East, probably about a month hence, but no decision has been reached as to speech-making itineraries. Later in the week Senator Wheeler plans to go with his family to some New England coast resort for several weeks' rest. He probably will begin a speech-making tour before Senator La Follette takes the stump. The Montana Senator said today that ef- forts would be made in the early stages of the campalgn to gain a foot- hold in such States as Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michi- gan, Illincis and Towa, and’ he de- clared the campaign would be direct- ed with bqual vigor against both the Republican-and Democratic parties. HOLDER TALKS TO LABOR. Senator of Ma is Arthur_Holder. national secretary of the Conference for Progressive Tolitical Action, speaking bqfore the Central Labor Union at 1006 ¥ street last night, severly criticised both the Republican and Democratic parties for the alleged failure to give due consideration to labor interests and stated that Senators La Follette and Wheeler “would fill the bill for labor on_the Progressive ticket. Mr. Holder named a long line of Senators, both Republican and Demo- crats, who he sald had been untrue to labor and had, through the co- aperative efforts on the part of labor, been replaced by Senators who have labor interests more at heart, Mr. Holder strongly advocated suf- frage for the District of Columbia, “We want a full free suffrage in the. District,”_ he said. “We want a full free franchise, where we can control our own affairs and activities right at home. We will not be satisfled with just one or two representatives in Congress, but only with a full- fledged franchise,” he continued. Name District Conimittee. The ' union _appointed Newton A.
