GATHERING Helps Launch Montgomery County Campaign—Maj. Gordon a Speaker. Special Dispatch to.The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 20.— The first meeting of the Republican campaign in Montgomery County was sterday afternoon at the home | of Charles L Corby, on the Rockville | pike, attended by several hundved men and women. Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, wife of the President, motored out from the city, remained about an hour, and durlug her stay held an informal reception during which she was introducéd to and shook hands with virtually all present. President Coolidge found it impossible to attend. The meeting was held under au- spices of the Women's Republican Club of Montgomery County, and was the first of a number of similar gatherings planned by the organiza- tion. Mrs. Harry A. Dawson of Rock- ville, president of the club, presided, and introduced the speakers, who in- cluded Judge Gould of Baltimore, Maj. Peyton Gordon, United States attorney for the District of Colum- bia; Paul Sleman, chairman of the Republican State central committee for the county. All took a rosy view the nation, but in the State as well. KENTUCKY NIGHT HELD BY DEMOCRATIC CLUB Mr. Kincheloe Addresses IMcDon- 41d-Washington-Blackburn-Davis- . for-President Group. Representative David H. Kincheloe of Kentucky and Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary of the late Woodrow Wil- son, spokKe at the meeting of the McDonald - Washington - Blackburn - Davis-for-President Club last night at 2315 Massachusetts avenue. It was Kentucky night and the mem- bers of the Kentucky State Society and other Kentuckians were special guests of the club. Armed with statistics, Mr. Kincheloe attacked “the Republican claims of @ prosperous and economical admin- istration during the past three and a half years. than 400 bank failures in the months and 700,000 farmers in bankruptey during the Republican administration are a sad commentary on the price paid for the Republican victory of 1920, he declared. Touching_upon the subject of cor- ruption, Representative Kincheloe contrasted “the recent scandals in igh places with the fact that 20 in- vestigating committees appointed by the Republicans, after they came into | power, to comb the country for evi-| dences of Democratic misdeeds in the conduct of the war could not find a ngle tainted dollar in all the mil-| lions that passed through the hands| of Democratic officials.” He reviewed “the persecution of | ers” and declared that 1.000 years| from now the name of Woodrow W son would be still blazoned in letters of gold when those of his opponents would have been long forgotten.” He predicted the overwhelming victory of John W. Davis, “who would carry on the great ideals of Woodrow Wil- | son.” H The appearance of Joseph P. Tum- ulty at the meeting created = ap- | plause when Mrs. Moran, who pre- | sided at the meeting, introduced him as “the man who loved Woodrow Wil- son to the end.” Mr. Tumulty in his extemporaneous remarks paid high tribute to his late chief and his great ideal, the League of Nations. The greeting to the Kentuckians was given at the opening of the meet- ing by Mrs. Rose Gouverneur Hoes on behalf of the club and she paid a tribute to the State and its people. Mrs. James C. Cantrill, national com- mitteewoman from Kentucky, and vice chairman of the Speakers’ Bureau of the Democratic national commit- tee, responded for Kentucky, as did William Jennings Price, president of the Kentucky State Society. The soloist of the evening was Mrs. Eugene V. Pugh of Chevy Chase, a native of Kentucky with a soprano voice of unusual clearness and sweet- ness. Her selections were “Come to the Fair.” “O Happy Day” and “Will o' the Wisp." She was accompanied by Mrs. Robert Green. The words of the song of “Democ- racy,” written by Miss Margaret Louise O'Brien, a member of the club, were read by Representative Kinche- loe. R. E. TREMAN NEW YORK, September 20.—Robert E. Tremen, the second husband of Irene Cgstle McLaughlin, former dancer, was arrested last night in Ithaca, Y. on a civil order ob- tained by Mrs. McLaughlin from Su- preme Court Justice Aaron J. Levy, it was learned today. The order was requested on the ground that Tremen had refused to return to his former wife some $40,- 000 worth of securities which she had IS HELD.

So the “stalwarts” ar pinning their hopes also on the fact that Fa Follette is now the Socialis party’'s nominee for the presidency and that this fact will deter many of the solid Republicans in other parts of the State from voting for the In- dependent Progressive ticket. The Socialists themselves have put out posters which declare that La Fol- lette is the simon pure Socialist can- didate. These posters, say the Repub- licans, are worth a lot to the G, O. F in the non-Socialist parts of the state. Anomaljes Apparent. The political situation in Wisconsin presents strange anomnialies, For ex- ample, the chairman of the Republi- can State committee is Robert M. La Follette, jr., son of the senator, and one of his campaign managers. There is today no Republican national committeeman from Wisconsin, Ira S, Lorenze of this city held that offic but he resigned, as he is a staunch supporter of La Follette, when Chair- man William Butler of the national]| committee invited hi to come to Chicago to talk over Republican| ans. The vacancy can only be filled the State central committee, which | controlled by La Folletteite Alll of the candidates for the House in| Wisconsin, running on the Republican ticket, are La Follette supporters.

The club is hoping for a large measure of support from | the Republican national committee, is not LA FOLLETTE SURE OF WISCONSIN VOTE, DESPITE REPUBLICAN HOPE and is demanding a host of speakers be sent into the State, The La Follette party controls so absolutely the Republican machinery of Wisconsin that it could easily have named La Follette men as the Repub- lican presidential electors. But it was declded after some debate among themselves that La Follette clectors should be chosen to go in the Inde- pendent column of the ballot and that real Coolidge supporters should be named as the Republican electors this was done here a few ago. But the La Follette supporters picked the Coolidge-Dawes electors without consulting the “stalwarts,” much to the chagrin of the latter. Those picked were all dyed-in-the-wool warts and oolidge men, to be Sure But they were so stalwart and such war-shouters that the La Fol- lette people believe they cannot possi- bly receive the support of many of the Republicans who have been in the custom of voting for La Follette. The Republicans say this was a low' trick; the Progressives say it was good politics. In support of their cMim that La Follette will lose a great many votes because he is no longer running as Republican, the stalwarts say that enator La Follette and his machine ave never been able to put over any candidate running on an Independent ticket, though they have tried to do so, notably the case of “Jim” Thompson who ran for the Senate against Senator Lenroot four years ago. The entire strength of the La Fol- lette machine—which reaches into the grass roots throughout the State and is the work of many rs development—was placed behind ‘hompson. But he failed. To this the Progressives say, “Yes, but if Sen- ator La Follette himself had been running there would have been a very different tale.” And then the La Fol lette men point to the huge majority by which Senator La Follette him- Is a preservative Don't look upon having premises painted as an cxpense.
