ULTIATE VICTORY Expresses Appreciation of Support Tendered by Non- Partisan Committee. Confidence Is expressed by Senator La Follette, Independent candidate for President, in a letter to the non- partisan political campaign commit- tce of the American Federation of Labor, that with the support of such organizations as the Labor Feder- ation, “in the end we shal be victori- ous.” The letter was written to express appreciation on behalf of himself and his running mate, Senator Wheeler of Montana, for the endorsement given them by the non-partisan political campaign committee. Senator La Follette congratulated the American Federation of Labor for its “exceptional leadership” in maintaining and conserving” the rights of the masses of the people” and asserted that “the American labor movement has been a prime factor in every enterprise for the conservation of humnn rights, human lives and those resourses with which nature so lavishly endowed our coun- try for the use and enjoyment of its Deople.” Refers to A. F. L. “Slogan.” The slogan given the object of the campaign by the American Feder- ation of Labor, “the restoration of Government to its sole rightful pur- Dose, the service of the masses of the veople,” he declared to be accurate and fitting, but he predicted that al- though the movement he is leading is essentially “conservative,” the slo- gan would be denounced by the op- position before the close of the cam- Paign as “radical.” Asserting that his purpose is the “conservation of human rights,” Senator La Follette stated that “un- fortunately the term “conservative” has been taken over by those whose only idea is to conserve certain in- cquitable advantages, certain special privileges, certain unfairly acquired property rights which infringe upon the rights of others. The contest, he declared, was be- tween those advocating and defending vested rights and-special privileges and those fighting “aggressively and without compromise ~for human rights.” Lauds the Federation. “In the best sense of the word, the American Federation of Labor 'is a great conservative institution,” the Senator said in his letter. “Through its democratic organization and ex- ceptional leadership it has maintained | and conserved the rights of the| masses of the people. It has con- served the children, taking them| from the mine, the mill and the sweat- | shop and bringing to them the bless-| ings of education and play. It has| conserved the lives of men and women | through “the shorter workday and| constantly improved working condi- | tions, to which, in my opinion, is due in large part the steady increase in the longevity of the American people. The Amcrican labor movement has been a prime factor in every enter- Pprise for the conservation of human rights, human lives and those great resources with which nature so lav- ishly endowed our country for the use and enjoyment of its people. “Had the.American Federation of Labor not been conservative in this meaning, it could not have been pro- gressive. It could not have gone for- ward in its fight for further acknowl- edgment of human rights as against property rights if it had not held fast to what had already been gained.” { Check on Labor Journalx. A close check is to be maintained on all union labor publications throughout the country during the presidential campaign, aacording to a statement issued by Matthew Woll, president of the International Labor Press of America, and a vice presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, to ascertain which are loyally supporting the political policy of the Federation of Labor. At the close of the campaign the records, he asserted, will be made public, adding that “We shall know this time who are the sheep and who are the goats.” Only one labor paper, the statement ! asserted, has so far failed to suggest enthusiastically the independent pres- idential ticket. “I am confident.” Mr. Woll contin- ued. “that the international labor press of America will rally enthusi- astically and solidly to the support of the independent candidates for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency.” He alss predicted the labor pre: would loyally support all candidates for Congress and State offices who re- celved the indorsement of organized labor. 1 KILLED, 4 HURT IN CAR Auto Turns Turtle Near Jones- boro, Ark. .

By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., August 18.—Pre- liminary arrangements or a third party drive throughout the South were discussed 'at executive confer- ence held here Satyrday and yester- day by Robert M. La Follette, jr., son and campaign manager of the Independent presidential candldate, .| with party leaders of the city and State. While Mr. La Follette's visit was shrouded in secrecy to prevent, it is undestood, rival political leaders from knowing of his presence, it was learned that the trip here marked the first stop on an extensive tour of the South which he plans for mar- shalling Independent forces in every State for the forthcoming campaign. At the same time he will attempt to eliminate any local obstacles which might surround recognition of a new ticket In the natlonal elections. Hopeful in South. Friends of the third party candi- date from every section of the State were present at yesterday's confer- ence, it was asserted, and every de- tail of the Georgia campaign was discussed. The situation throughout the South was said to have been de- scribed as “hopeful” and many of those at the meeting expressed the belief that the independent ticket would poll a large vote. Announcement was made that a temporary organization will be formed which later will issue a call for a state-wide meeting of sup- porters of the movement to be held in Atlanta before the end of the week. At this session, it is planned to ef- fect a permanent organization to launch an active campalgn in Geor- gla. La Follette leaders were quoted as having sald that a large part of the labor support in this section is as- sured their candidate. Mr. La Follette was not registered at any of the local hotels and all efforts to reach him for a statement proved futile. Throughout his stay here he remained in seclusion, and left In the same secretive fashion to continue his Southern tour. ‘Woman Driver Arrested. ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Republican Campaign Manager Also Expects to Win New Sena- tor in Latter State. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, August 18 —Willlam M. Butler, national Republican chairman, in a statement today sald his reports showed a steady and consistent im- provement in the Republican cam- palgn and that he had found that President Coolidge’s own lssue, ‘‘com- mon sense,” appeals to many. Mr. Butler in indicating Republican hopes and expectations said “Mary- land looks very good,” and “Ken- tucky I can also speak of with confi- dence. In Kentucky we will win a new senatorial seat.” In New York and New Jersey, vil- lages and towns, he said, Coolidge- Dawes clubs are being organized to obtain pledges for a solid Republican vote for each community. .He said he questioned messengers who brought these reports as to what sort of com- munitics and people have signéd these pledges, and received the reply: “The men who go to work at 7 and the women who hang out their own clothes on Monday morning.” These clubs signing up entire vil- lages, the statement indicated, is part of a desire to make the Coolidge vote “a standard for the future.” “As to the Northern States,” the statement continued, “I am referring to Minnesota, North and South Da- kota, lowa, Kansas and Nebraska, and let us say Wisconsin. 1 think the average observer will agree with me that recent agricultural develop- ments have not injured our pros- pects.” ¥ ——e The women of China of the upper classes have always been well edu- cated.
