-~ DAWES TO INVADE DAVIS HOME STATE Discusses Budget and La Follette Campaign in Philadelphia Speech. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA Charles G. Dawes ing campaign as presidential nominee Pennsylvania_ today after having opened his Eastern tour here last mnight with an address divided equally between a discussion of the budget system and an assault on the La Fol- lette Independent candidacy. Leaving here early today, Dawes had before him two spe S, one at a noon n ting in Pittsburgh and a rear platform talk Wash- ington, before entering West Vir- ginla, home te of John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate, for an address tonight at Wheeling The Reopubl n «nominee in his speech here night declared he was confident of the outcome in the Middle West, where he has done the mreater part of his campalgn speaking. Opening his Bastern speaking tour here with a sion of the budget, Mr. Dawes declared “this Government | is safe in its present method of do- ing busi s so lon as we retai President n who keeps his pl at the head of the Government busi- ness organization and keeps a club hanging on the wall for the efit of department heads.” Big Crowd Hears Speech. Mr. Dawes spoke before an audie; that packed the Academy of where President Coolidge sp month ago. Gov. Pinchot, seated on the s ers’ platform, formally welcomed Dawes to Pennsylvania. and dec he was pre as a Republican to stand beside Mr. Dawes on the plat- form and urge his election.” Mr. Dawes aroused his audience at| e start by commending the pecple of Philade s “loyal enough and patient enough to stand by my friend, Smedley D. Butler” There was an outburst of applause, and Mayor Ken- drick, seated in box near the speakers’ platform., smiled broadly When the cheers ceas added amid further a s glad to see that mention of Butler's name st 1t you think of a man who has guts.” The Republican nominee went on | to say that he knew of no man more loved by the men that®he led than Gen. Butler. Beginning his address. Mr. Dawes | ook occasion k of the eulo gistic introductions he had list to during the campaign and said i he might be tempted to think of him- | Self “if this thing runs along much longer as a great man, but betwee us, girls. it really sometimes make me sick.” Credit for establishment budget system. Mr. I lay not in enactment of a budge but in the courage of Pres ding in putting October arried his speak Republican vice to Western 4 wes dec Laws Only “The budget law was only an inci- dent,” he asserted. “The law was a ®ood thing because it outlined the method and because it called atten- tion to. what any President could have done.” The Republican nominee empl sized, however, that he did not con- sider the budget or any of the other | subjects mentioned in the national platforms of the two major parties as the dominant issue in the campaign. “The real issue in this campatgn was raised July 7 when an attack was launched against the Constitu- tion of the United States,” he de- clared, referring to formation of the La Follette {ndependent movement. He assailed the La Follette plattorm declaration for curbing of the power of the Supreme Court and told his audience that “the people of the Kast need not fear for the West “They recognize in the West that a real issue has been presented, and out there you are going to sece not the small percentage of a vote vou have had recorded in those States in the past, but a vote greater than in any previous election,” he added. “Don't fear for the West. Only you peopie here do your duty as well as they will do it out there.” Mr. Dawes, in begianing his ais- cussion of the budget, said he owed hie appointment as first director of the Budget Bureau to an article he wrote for the Saturday Kvening Post. Gave Idens in Article. gave my ideas as to what this Government necded in connection with its business administration in the article, which was published in the Post, and President Harding saw it and then 1 was appointed,” he con- tinuel. “And the reason I am making this speech is because never yet, so far as I know, has anybody ever | thought that it was not the budget law that was responsible for the great reduction in expenses in this country. Everybody talks as if were the budget law. The budget law was only an incident in that ac- complishment. The whole thing could have been done without the budget la “What was the reason we didn't ket expenses down in the United tates? It was because for vears the President of the United States hadn't taken his position at the hiead of the routine business organi- zation and put a club on the walls of the cabinet room, so that those men would administer as vice presi- dents and not as independent -sa- traps at the head of independent es- tablishments. That is the reason. Cabinet officers, Mr. Dawes asserted, “are the natural enemies of the budget.” These officers, he added, should be the conduits for transmis ston downward of the executive plan, but Instead often times are, as they have been for 125 years, “the condults for the transmission of pressure up from the separate departments upon the President for complete independ- ence of action.” Mr. Dawes also took occasion to deny the claim of “Republican orators &enerally,” that a billion, seven hun- dred miilion dollars were saved the first year through operation of the! budget, the actual saving, he said, was only $250,000,000. ‘DRUGGIST GETS 2 YEARS. * TOLEDO, October 22.—Meyer Selz- Shan, druggist, convicted of selling denatured alcohol for beverage pur- ‘poses, was sentenced to two years in Atlanta prison and two vears in the workhouse and fined $500 by Federal Judge Millits yesterday.

The Builders THE EVENING FANATIC FREE AFTER 22 YEARS IN PRISON Osman Digna, Thorn in Side of British in Holy, War in 80’ ‘Wins Release. 8 By the Assoctated Press MONTREAL, October 22.—A speclal cable to the Montreal Star yesterday announces that Osman Digna, famous in the days when the Mahdi was waging his holy war against the British in the Sudan. and who was captured three years after the bat- tle of Omdurman, when Lord Kitch- ener finally subdued the fanatical dervishes, the followers of the ca- lifa, has been released after 22 years of solitary confinement from a cell at Wadi Halfa. Qsman is now on a pllgrimage to Mecca. According to the Star's cable, the British foreign office had forgotten &1l about Osman until the question was raised at the last sesalon of Parliament. Durlng Great Britaln's Sudanese troubles in the last quarter of the nineteenth century Osman Digna was one of the most fanatical, persistent and most cunning of the British ene mies. He had been variously a came! driver and slave trader, and when, in 1882, Mohammed Ahmed, the “Mahdl," raised the standard of rebelllon in the Sudan and proclaimed a “jehud,” or holy war, Osman threw himself Into the struggle with great fervor He was made emir of Eastern Sudan. Osman himself took little part in the actual fighting, but was the genius directing the activities of the fanatics. For more than 15 years he was a thorn in the flesh of the Brit Ish, who did not completely subdue the Sudan rebels until 1897, when. at the battle of Omdurman, the califa, who had succeeded the Mahdi was killed HURRICANE HERO DIES.
