Brahding the La Follette movement | 4§ “an amalgamation f the forces of ©f discontent Into a political party,” Necretary Wecks entered the politic lists here last night in a radio addr which dealt entirely with the Inde- dent ticket and platform. Socialists, 1 W. converts of W Lenin, Goldman omething for noth- | Is with gr ances, { 1 or imaginary, have ralli to the upport of La Follette,” Mr. Weeks| clared. “Theroe arc also well mean- fng citizens who will vote for La Fol- Iette because they have been deceived. | Without investigation they have ac- cepted false charges as t With- out thought, they have accepted his, assertions that our fo of Govern- ment should be anged and have taken for granted that promised | remedies will improve the form of Government founded hy Washington, | Tlamilton, Jefferson and Franklin. | “Running tru Follette | has sought to aro ttago- | nisms, discontent, suspi distrust | and confusion in the minds of the voters in order to aid his own polit- ical fortune | Indictment of Wheeler. Mr, Weeks also referred to the In- dictment in Montana of Senator Wheeler, Independent vice presidential candidate. “An indictment does not mean that the accused is guilty or not guilty, but it indicates a_‘probable cause,’ and the evidence miust be sufficiently strong to justify a grand jury taking this action,” Mr. Weeks said. ® ® “I think this is the first time in the | history of the government where a | United States Senator been in- dicted by his own coastituent. If| nercharce the almost _impossible should happen and the La Follette ticket fs elected, there is the possl- | bility that the people of the United | States will have a Vice President found guilty of violation of the laws | he has taken his oath to sustain.” Senator La Follette’s charge that the Republican party was gulhenm‘.’i maleontents, @ “slush fund” to buy the election was ridiculed by the War Secretary. ‘Would Subpoena La Follette. “As a matter of fact,” he said, “up to date the Republican national co! mittee has not. collected as much | money since the Republican conven- tion for all its committees, natlonal, senatorfal and congressional. as the public has spent for the seven base ball games of the world serics. Sen- ator La Follette should be subdoenaed 0 appear before the Borahr committee and compelled to sulmit evidence in support of his charges. Mr. Weeks reviewed political and social conditions in Wisconsin e 1901, since when, he said, ! had * become *‘thoroughly with “innumerable b slons and boards” cont tivities and private bucin have been “the sub.ect of interference, inspection and i sion.” As a result of this, in the period lo- tween 1900 and 1420, Wisconsin State expenditures increased more than any other State in the Union, Mr. Weeks ‘continued, adding: “If the La Follette socialists should by any chance get control of our Na- tional Government, we will see our Government Wisconsinized, and you and 1 will pay for it Third-ticket proposals to empower Congress to revoke the decisions of the Supreme Court, Mr. Weeks said, “would strike a death blow at one of the three branches of our Govern- ment, the judiciary, and would weaken our wholo governmental structure.” Mr. Weeks said that, although elected to the Senate on the Repub- lican ticket, Senator La Follette had consistently opposed Republican measures in Congress. “It is.a criminal offense to obtaln money under false pretenses,” he continued. “It may be legal to obtain political office under false pretenses, but it certalnly is not moral. ‘Senator La Follette and his fol- lowers have obtained public office a5 members of the Republican party and when elected they have done every- thing they could to destroy or im- pair the efliciency of the party.” As examples of Senator La Fol- lette's activities, Mr. Weeks cited his opposition to various tariff measures in Congress, saying, however, that the Senator had supported the cmer- gency tarift law of 1921 “because it affected many items in which. the residents of the State of Wisconsin were interested.” “Incidentally, he voted for a two- cent duty on sugar, a higher rate than in the present tariff law,” the speaker said. “Consideration is be- ing given to the possibility of reduc- ing the present rate.” REPUBLICAN RALLY AT WILLARD HOTEL Issues of Campaign and Absentee Voting to Be Explained Next Thursday Night. ‘The Willard Hotel will be the scene ©f a Republican rally to be held in this city next Thursday night. Those in charge describe it as an “educa- tional rally.” They say that the speakers will explain the outstanding igsues and will impart information regarding absentee voting. ‘William Tyler Page, clerk of the United States House of Representa- tives and president of the Republi- can State Voters' Association, will preside. Mr. Page is looked upon as one of the authorities at the Capitol upon the Constitution and the rules of Congress. In his opening remarks he will briefly explain that part of the Constitution providing for, the election of a President and a Vice President in the event Congress must pick them.

I VISITS T0 CODLIDGE PRODUCE OPTIMISH Several Favorable Reports on Political Situation Received Yesterday. Several optimistic reports on the political situation were presented to President Coolidge yesterday when he indulged in a series of conferences with various visitors. For the second time In as many days, Mr. Coolidge was advised by a farm leader to hold up for perhans a week or so the appointment of tha commission he has proposed to inves- tigate agriculture lest its work be- come involved in politics. O. E. Bradfute. president of the Farm Bureau Federation, expressed this view yesterday, at the same time agreeing with Mr. Coolidge that the time is now appropriate for a sur- vey of farm conditions. Farmers, b said, generally were in a much im- proved state, but he declared that th's was only comparative and there was much which could yet be done to ;\l‘nrc the industry soundly oa its eet. Report From Iowa. The political situation in Jowa was discussed with Harvey Ingram, Des Moines publisher, who declared the Republican national ticket, aithoagh affected somewhat by the campaign of Senator Brookhart, Republican nominee for the Senate there, would carry the State. also will, in his opinion, be elected, he said. Mr. Coolidge has arranged to speak before a meeting here on October 23 of the Eastern Division of the Cham- her of Commerce of the United States. * also will speak next Wednesday e unveiling of the statue here p Francis Asbury of Episcopal Church. Students at White House. White House grounds resound- yesterday with the sharp stac- ato sounds of school vells by stu- dents from Trenton, N. J., High School and West Phailadelphia High School, who gathered on the White House lawn and_had their pictures taken with the President When Mr. Coolidge appeared, the Trenton students unloosed their school yell. Not to be outdone, the Philadelphia girls gave their school cheer with an “Eyah Coolidg at the end. Stopping on the way from the grounds to permit a student to take his picture, Mr. Coolidge was soon the center of other pleading amateur photographers, and he obligingly halted until most had snapped their pictures. e STRENGTHEN AIR CODE. Engineers Would Require Dual Ignition in High-Power Craft. The section on power plants of the American aeronautical safety code has issued a requirement for dual ignition for alrcraft engines of over 100 horsepower, according to an an- nouncement yesterday by the Bureau of Standards and the Society of Auto- motive Engineers. Two or more spark plugs per cylinder and at least two sources of primary current should be provided, according to the code, and each source should be cap- able of operating the engine. Pres- sure lubrication and self starters are recommended, while all motors of more than 200 horsepower are re- quired to have some means of start- ing other than by turning the pro- peller by hand. The code, which is being prepared under the auspices of the Bureau of Standards and the Society of Auto- motive Engineers, is based in' this part on an internal combustion en- gine similar to those now in general use. New types of engines are re- quired to undergo a type test before acceptance, this test including meas- urements of the power output from 20 per cent below normal speed to 5 per cont above, and a 50-hour durability run.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, |OKLAHOMA LIKELY | CHANGE OPPOSE [ | { Klan, | nas Secnator Brookhart | T0.GO FOR DAVIS Democratic Faction, How- ever, Seeks to Repudiate Walton Candidacy. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., October 11.—John W. Davis is reasonably cer- tain of Oklahoma's electoral vote. When -the Democratic voters are apathetic this State sometimes turns upside down. There's no such dan- ger in 1924, the fight for and against former Gov. J. C. Walton Democratic nominee for the United States Senate, is making Oklahomans sit_up and take notice. W Robert I. Owens, Democrat {and the present senior Senator from Oklahoma, sees fit to call on the Democrats of the State to repudiate Walton and cast their votes for his opponent, W. B. Pine, Republican, some idea of the intensity of the battle may be conveyed to tle out- side world. Has Raised Klan Issue. Walton won in the primaries as a minority candidate. He has raised the anti-Klan issue Newspapers ike the Daily Okla- homan, which are and have been anti- cline to allow that issue to influcnce their feeling about Wal- ton's candidacy, so one finds here the spectacle of most of the Democratic newspapers supporting John W. Davis and the Democratic State tic- ket, but bolting the Democratic nomi- nee on the senatorship. Walton's impeachment and his record in office are given by Senator Owen as reasons for refusing to sup- port the man nominated to succeed him. Natural'y a row inside the Democratio party has its dangers. Pressure is being put on many old- line Democrats to vote for the whole ticket, including Walton, the argu- ment being made that defections in one place might lead to others and that might carry with it a certain peril to the Democratic nominees for supreme court judges. Six are to be elected, which makes up @ majority of the court, and the thought is being distributed among Democrats that if the Republicans win the court they will knock out the Jim Crow laws, a siubject on which Oklahoma is as tender as South Carolina or any other State of the solid South. Democratic Votes for La Follette. Senator La Follette will get a big vote, perhaps 100.000. This would be little less than a fifth of the total vote expected to be cast. Hut there always has been a Farmer-Labor vote here and a Socialist movement. It been somewhat obscure and hasn't always gone to the polls be- cause of the known futility of that errand. With La Follette conceded to be a factor in the presidential contest—at least in being ab'e pos- sibly to deadlock the contest—tne radicals are coming out to vote. Then there is the protest vote against both parties. It always amounts to some- thing. Rising agriculturai prices tend to some extent to erase discon- tent, but it hasn’t been enjoyed long enough to squelch all of the protest- ing farmers. Jokn W. Davis s well liked in Oklahoma. It is interesting to fina a State like that, for here the news- papers have given space to Ris speeches and attalnments, and the strength of Davis is not unltke that which has been carefully cultivated for President Coolidge in States where the Republican press is all- control'ing. Gov. Bryan has been making a fa- vorable impression with his speeches in this State. The Democratic cam- valgn is well organized and the State probably will poll an exceptionaliy arge vote, which would mean a Davis victory by anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 votes this time, even counting the defections to La Follette.

Plutarco Elias Calles, President-elect of Mex- ico, was greatly pleased on arriving in Paris to find so many of his coun- trymen here to greet him. But he appeared to be unable to conceal his surprise at the modesty of the repre- sentation of the French government at the station. The President of France was rep- resented by a colonel of brilliant record, but of simple bearing. After the reception Gen. Calles asked one of the Mexican party that came to meet him: “Are there no more mar- shals in France?’ It was then explained to the Mexi- can President-elect that receptions to distinguished foreigners are regu- lated to a nicety by the “protocol,” which g a sort of code of eitquet that guides the authorities in organizing receptions. Under the “protocal” Gen. Calles was entitled only to such courtesies as the officlals accord distinguished statesmen traveling incognito. He was not considered in the same cate- gory as the actual head of a state. Gen. Calles also was informed that colonels in France are of more con- sequence than in Mexico. The presi- dent-elect appeared surprised that an officer could serve in the French army. for so many years before getting even a colonel's rank. INNAMING JUDGES Mount Pleasant Citizens Would Not Have Power Given to Commissioners. The Mount Pleasant Citizens’ As- sociation is opposed to granting the District Commissioners the power to appoint judges of the Police, Munic- ipal or Juveni'e courts as recom- mended in the proposed measure tor increasing the power of the Com- missioners, according to a resolution adopted at a meeting of the associa- tion in the Powell School last night. This action was taken while consid- ering each section of the proposed bill upon the report of a spectal committee of which Charles ¥. Con- saul was chairman. Mr. Consaul read each section of the proposed measure and then the recommendations made by the com- mittee, most of which were adopted after discussion. On section 4, power to comprom the District. the association voted in favor of granting the Commissioners such power, provided the reason for the compromise be determined by counsel. providing for the e claims against Regulation of Venders. Section 5, providing for the reg- ulation of streets vendin was ap- proved provided it be made not to apply to the selling of produce by the producer by whom it was raised. Also section§, giving the Commissioners the power to dispose of public prop- erty when it is of no more public use, was approved with the restric- tion that a proposed sale of such property be unanimously approved by | all the Commissioners and the reason stated as to why the property should | be sold. The right to cancel taxes, the Commissioners’ judgment would serve the public interests, was | approved provided that the & can- celing of taxes on any given prop- erty be approved by all of the Com- missioners. Again, section 12, pro- viding for the right to close public streets, was agreed to only in case there be a need of closing the street in question in order that plans for highway developments might be car- ried out. Section 16, providing for the making of ordances and regulations that the Commissioners may deem necessary and proper for the administration,| was approved, providing tbat the | penalty for violating an ordnance be | made not more than and less| than a year in j 1so in this c nection it was recommended that al person might be punished for a new ordnance violation only where the new ordnance be published in a dai newspaper, with a good circulation, for at least ten days before l,'olngl into effect. Adopt Other Propoenls. The greater part of the other sec- tions in the proposed measure were adopted with proposals for minor changes in their reading or phrasol- ogy. “Erior to the constderation of the | measure proposi case in power for the C the as- sociation adopted a resolution to re- quest the District Commissioners to| try and sccure an appropriation of | $50,000 for the Mount Pleasant branch { of the Public Library. The need of | developing that branch into an ade- quate one was stressed. Another resolution was adopted to request that the maximum appropri- | ation for parks, $1,100,000—as author- ized by the National -Capitol Park Commission act—be urged by the District authorities. It was urged in the resolution that this appropri- ation be made to include the pur- chase of fhe Klingle Ford and Piney Branch tracts for usage as parks. A resolution was adopted also to request the Zoning Commission to put all class “B" zoning sections in the territory covered by the association in class “B restricted” The latter zoning regulation would prevent the erection of apartment houses in sec- tions o classified, unless consent were given by the residents at a public hearing, it was stated. The association also reiterated a request for a “safety isle” to be stationed at 16th street and Park Road. M. W. Lewis, president of the as- soclation, presided.

Borah, Republican, of Idaho today answered the La Fol- lette-Wheeler forces, making clear his reference to President Coolidge in his spech at Idaho Falls, IGano. 1ast Tues- day, in a telegram to Charles W. Er- vin, in which he declared that his ref- erence to the President was in con- nection with tax reduction and the necessity of stopping government ex- travagance. The telegram follows: “Boise, Idaho, October 9: harles ~W. Ervin, Machinists Bullding, Washington, D.

I said that he had disclosed, in regard to this, excep- tional determination. But I did not use the lanRuage quoted in your tele- gram.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., October 11.—Can- didates for the governorship, to be nominated next vear in a primary, have suddenly taken to cover and grown so silent that it is creating a &o0d deal of comment.

That the La Follete and third party ticket is showing strength in ail parts of the State is apparent, and that there will be a far greater vote cast for that party than was be- lieved possible is indicated. There is er for the State to scratic column n year, come very near to ng second pl in Virginia.

The withdrawal of L. P. Summers from the fight and the nomination of H. C. Harmon of Tazewell by a committee which met outside of the district, or whose name was placed on the ticket in lieu of that of Summers, puzzled the voters of that section. The Re- publicans in that territory are badly split, due to the fact that several of the leaders were anxious to heir the seat that Slemp surrendered, and there is soreness on that score in every part of the district. The quick selection of Harmon has not healed any of the soreness. Harmon is a man of means, a business man and lives in the same town with Repre- sentative Peery, they being related by marriage.

RANGOON, Burma, October 1lL— Prof. and Mrs. Gleason, two American missionaries attached to Judson Col- lege, were mobbed by Buddhist monks Thursday night. Both were badly beaten and removed to a hospital. The police today ralded a building and made seven arrests. The condi- tion of Prof. and Mrs. Gleason is said to be favorable. The police have of- fered a reward of 500 rubles for the actual assailants. Details of the attack on Prof. and Mrs. Gleason show that it oc- curred about 8 o'clock Thursday night. Eight men armed with sharp weapons and sticks and dressed as Buddhist monks, eprang upon them from a small entrance of a large monastery. The Americans at the time were looking for a conveyance to take them from the suburbs into the city. Prof. Gleason received cuts about the face. Mrs. Gleason received two deep wounds on the forehead. Both are said to have been knocked to the ground. Hearing cries a Mohem- medan rushed to the Americans’ as- sistance, but he was threatened with | an ax, and the assailants fled to the monastery. The Mohammedan re- turned to the spot and assisted Prof. and Mrs. Gleason to a hospital. A former British soldier also was attacked the same evening. He escaped with slight wounds and his assailants are reported to have fled inside the same monastery.

CALCUTTA, October 11.—The in- Juries of Prof. and Mrs. Gleason, Jud- son Coliege missionaries, who were attacked and beaten by a mob of Buddhist monks Thursday night at Rangoon, are not as serious as first thought, according to information re- celved today by the American consul| general here. The consul general's information is to the effect that the attack was un- provoked and was not anti-American | in any sense, but was a demonstra- jtion of anti-white or anti-Christian | character against the imprisonment of the extremist leader, Ottama Pongvi, who was sentenced to several years on the charge of making speeches likely to cause dissatisfaction. A number of Buddhist monk said, had vowed vengeance on the po. lice for the conviction of Pong: They attacked the two American mis- sionaries when they were walking on the street. The monks were armed jwith sticks and knives. They beat the Gleasons to the ground and cut and bruised them about their heads.

WICHITA, Kans, October 11— Charles G. Dawes, Republican candi- date for Vice President, visited Kan- sas today, not asking “What's the matter with Kansas?” but “Where do you stand, people of Kansas?” Mr. Dawes asked this question in rear platform speeches at Atchizor and Emporia, at a noon meeting in Topeka and at a night rally in Wich- ita. ‘The choice as he outlined it lies be- tween standing on the Constitution with President Coolidge and align- ment with the Socialists and others opposed to the ecxisting order of things behind Senator La Follette, the independent candidate for the pres dency. He professed to have no doub: about the final answer to his questior, for he repeatedly declared “There is no radicalism in Kansas” and that “in no section of the country is the call to the colors more eagerly re- sponded to at afy time than by th® people of Kansas.” Here is Kans: Wyoming, lowa other States he has visited on present speaking tours, Mr. Dawes presented only the aiternatives of Coolidge or La Follette, making no mention whatever of Davis and the Democratic candidacy despite the fact that Kansas for two years has had a Democratic State administration. He likewise refrained from touchs ing upon what leaders of his pa: consider the real campaign in Ka contest in which Jonathar vis, Democrat; Ben S.
