PROMPT APPROVAL SEEN. Ratification of Dawes Pact in Two Weeks Believed Sure. By the Asvociated Press. LONDON, August 18.—The prograrh for launching the Dawes reparation pilan, initialed by the delegates to the international conference which closed here Saturday, now goes before the French parliament and the ‘German Reichstag for ratification. Prospects are favorable for its adoption by both bodies, according to dispatches from the two capitals. The Natiopalists in Germany, as ‘was expected, are leading the opposi- tion to the program, but it is declared they will scarcely go so far as to adopt a parliamentary attitude which would result in a defeat of the gov- ernment, dissolution of the Reichstag and new elections, in which they could mot hope to better their position.

Darrow, chief counsel for Na- {than Leopold, jr., and Richard Loeb, jdrew today from Dr. H. Dousglas | Singer, on cross-examination in the Franks hearing. The answer came reluctantly in this form: “Are the endocrine glands part of the emotional life?" “Yes, sir. “Do they affect it?” “If they are part of it, they must affect i “Why not gay so in the first place?” “Well, 1 thought my answer more complete than your question.” The exchange was typical of a spirited contest between the attorney and witness. Such terms as “egocen- tric,” “psychopathic personality,” “psychosis” and “pathological” struck some of the court fans as comical, and bailiffs had to warn such persons several times to maintain composure. The cross examination was directed toward an attempt to get from the State alienist an admission that| physical characteristics and mental Processes, which the experts have }found in the defendants, were signs of approaching insanity, or at least “mental disease.” The doctor shied away from mention’of the latter, but readily discussed the former when presented to him in an academic sense. 2 Phantasies and hallucinations were given by Dr. Singer as “signs of in- sanity,” but he qualified this by add- ing “sometimes.” He once acknowl- edged that Loeb's habit of imagining himself a “master criminal” was “in a sense” an hallucination. ‘Hearing Enters Last Lap. The hearing of Leopold and Loeb started upon its final lap this morn- ing. The prospect of further discus- sion of that “sizzy thing” as Attorney Clarence S. Darrow called “schizo- phrenic” did not deter the eagerness of the curious to gain admission. Dr. H. Douglas Singer, a State alien- ist, who used the term to denote a split personality, was on' the stand for further cross-examination.

WILL COURT LABOR N CAMPAIGN CDoIidge’s; Support of Legis- lation Workers Desired Will Be Stressed. RBY G. GOULD LINCOLN. An active campaign to win support of labor generally to the standard of President Coolidge will be launched this week by the Republican cam- paign organization, it was learned to- day. Convinced that they must com- pete actively with the La Follette- Wheeler and the Davis-Bryan tickets for the support of the workers, the Republicans will leave no stone un- turned. During the 1920 campaign, a very active labor department was main- tained in Chicago in connection with the Republican national committee headquarters. It is understood that a similar organization is now being perfected, which will have head- quirters not only in Chicago, but also in Washington. _The detailed plans will be worked out at a meet- ing of leaders in Chicago this week. Particular stress will be laid on the following points in making the Re- publican appeal to labor: Record in Massachusetts. 1. The favorable labor record of President Coolidge while he was a member of the Massachusetts Legis- lature. and Senate, and later while he was governor of that common- wealth. 2. The fact that the La Follette- ‘Wheeler ticket, while it has been in- dorsed by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, has also been indorsed and accepted by the Socialist party, with which organized labor in the United States has been at odds. 3 . The Republican policy of protec- tion for American indystry and in- dustrial workers, through .the tarift duties on impofted goods. 4. The protection of American labor through the restrictive immigration laws enacted during the-Republican administration, 5. The present prosperity of labor, wm-‘ high wages and little unemploy- ment. ‘Would Hold “Good Times.” Supporters of the Republican party in the ranks of labor will declarc that this is not the time to “rock the ON IS OF KLAN Bolting From Both Big Par- ties Raises Doubt of Result. G. 0. P. on Defensive. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. Staff Correspondent of The Star. PORTLAND, Me, August 18.—The ! dread specter of the Ku Klux Klan issue is stalking through Maine pol- itics, spreading dismay among the leaders, propagating uncertainty, up- setting calculations and wiping out| familiar land marks and political channel-buoys. On September 8 next this State will efect a governor, members of the Legislature, four Representatives in Congress, a United States Senator to sucoged Senator Fernald and county officers.

The Injection of the religious ele- | ment into the campaign threatens to make it an exceeedingly bitter one, with friends divided and long-time personal and political disrupted. Republican Catholics will leave the fold and vote the Demo- | cratic ticket and Protestant Demo- crats, in many numbers, are expected to put their religion above political afiiliation. In the contest over the governorship the divisions are not expected to be so marked over the Senatorship or in the contest for candidates for the House of Repre- sentatives. The Republican candidate for gov- ernor is Ralph O. Brewster of Port- land. The Democratic candidate for governor is William R. Pattangall, one time Representative in Congress and former attorney general of the State. Mr. Pattangall will be remem- bered as the man who led the fight against the Klan in the Democratic national convention, losing by a hair's-breath in his effort to have the Klan denounced by name. He is now engaged in a campaign of denouncing the Republican party for alleged af- filiation with the Klan, through the candidacy of Ralph O. Brewster for governor. This is regarded as a di- rect appeal for the Irish and Catholic vote of the State, which is largely Democratic, however. Stand in State Convention. In this connection it is to be noted that when the State convention met to draw the Democratic platform Mr. Pattangall was opposed to the pro- posal then made to include direct de- nunciation of the Klan by name in the State platform, claiming it would suffice to rewrite the State constitu- tion's assertion of religious freedom, but when Mr. Brewster, after a sen- sational contest, was declared the Republican - candidate for governor, he turned upon him on the Kian issue and upon the Republican party. Candidate Brewster does not admit that he is affiliated with the Klan, but despite repeated challenges from Candidate Pattangall, does not re- pudiate the Klan nor openly scorn is vote, 80 it becores that the Klan insignia sticks to him and he is gen- erally regarded as being willing to accept the vote o fthe Klan.
