Charges Insincerity, “No man should claim sincerity Tor himself who tries to be all things to all people and cond his campaign in such a n nner as to lead the peo- ple who are listening to him in each Piace to believe that he js interested in them especially as against the rest of the Stat the governor main tained Aceusing the misstatements attitude tow minute colonel of making about the governor's rd the public school ter, the governor said his opponent in these charges was appealing to the #fraternity that travels at night in ®ight shirts.” Predicts Roosevelt Win.

CAMPAIGN Chairman Butler Cites “Facts” in Refutation of - “Unsupported Allegations.” By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 1.—William M. Butler, chairman of the Republi- can national committee, in a state- ment last night said that the com- mittee has conducted an economical campaign, and, if possible, expects to wind it up without deficit. His statement issued at Republican na- tional headquarters here follows: en and women interested in Re- publican success next Tuesday have a right to know about the kind of a campaign we have conducted. It is my aim to give them such a report. “A Senate committee has been in- vestigating campaign contributions and expenditures, As is common in such inquiries, wide circulation has been given to unsupported allega- tions. I want the American people to know the facts, Budget Fixed at $3,000,000. “Shortly after the convention we at- tempted to establish a budget. 1t was fixed at $3,000,000 and the expen- ditures of the committee will not vary materially from that amount. We desire that there should be no deficit. Our collections for purpose of the mpaizn conducted by the Republi- committee have been We have also collected in addition thereto certain amounts in several States which have been returned to those States. This amount been contributed by more than 00 men and women of the United States. The amount collected and to be expended is small in comparison with some previous presidential cam- paigns. It is small when we consider the fact that there are nearly 55,- 000,000 persons eligible to vote. To reach the vast population of the United States is an expensive under- | taking. “We have conducted an economical campaign. We have guarded against extravagance. We have done those things necessary to C4rry our mes sage to the voter. We have tried to run a business-like campaign. Re ords of all contributions and all ex- penditures have been kept. They been audited by certified public accountants, No Promises of Patronage. “We are winding up this campaign ous of the fact that no prom- have been made for the distri bution of patronage.

We also would like to end the cam- paign with a reasonable surplus so that we can truthfully say that the Republican national committee will make no solicitations for money for a period of two years.

BAKER Former War Secretary Urges Vot- ers to Guard Against Seturn of Funds to Wall Street. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, November B Declaring _that the charter for the Federal Reserve banks efpires in 1925, former Secretary of War New- ton D. Baker urged voters attending a Democratic rally last night to “scrutinize carefully those seeking election and determine whether they will renew the charter or permit th reserve to go back to Wall street.” “The greatest constructive legisla- tion passed in the last half century was the Federal Reserve act, which Woodrow Wilson sponsored and a Democratic Congress enacted,” Mr. Baker sald. “It took the money re- serve out of Wall street, and there has been no money panic since. 1t is worth more as protection to this country than a standing army of 1,000,000 men. \ “I want to leave this thought with you: The charter for the reserve banks expires in 1925. You will then hear much discussion about renewing them. It will be to your benefit to scrutinize carefully those seeking election and determine whether they will renew the charter or permit the reserve to go back to Wall street.” gl s e BITTER OHIO CONTEST TEMPERS FORECASTS Governorship Fight, Hottest of All, Marked by Charges of Wrong- doing in Office. By the Associated Press OLUMBUS, 0., November 1—One of the most hectic political campaigns that has been waged in Ohio for many years comes to a close tonight. By far the most bitter fight has been waged over the governorship between Harry L. Davis, the Republican can- didate, and Gov. A. V. Donahey, seek- ing re-election on the Democratic ticket. Charges and counter charges of wrongdoing in public office hav been hurled back and forth by the two candidates and their supporters. Likewise, it has been a long time since there have been so many cross rrents operating in an election. While the prohibition and Ku Klux Klan issues have not been to the fore, th have appeared beneath the sur- face, making it difficult for experts in cction analysis to obtain a correct drift of sentiment. The presidential contest between i Republicans and Democrats in Ohio { has failed to create interest as it has {in previous campaigns, but what has been lacking in that respect has been made up by the campaign of Senators a Follette and Wheeler. Neither of he old parties will concede Ohio's lectoral vote to the Independent fcandidates but they freely admit {Senator La Follette will poll a big vote in many of Ohio's larger cities.

LA FOLLETTE HOLDS MINNESOTA EDGE, WITH G. 0. P. GAINING (Continued from First Page.) to undermine La Follette's strength in those quarters. Some very promi- nent and substantial German-Amer- icans have said they would. support oolidge. They have been working with the voters of their blood, and, according to reports now coming in, with considerable success. But whether the change is reaching down into the rank and file, or merely gaining over Gierman-Americans who have a big stake in business, is not clear. This work largely has been done under the suffrage, and its ef- fect or lack of effect will be known only November 4. One argument that has been used with considerable ef- fect is that by voting for La Follette, who, the Republicans say, cannot win, the German-American voter Is merely throwing away a vote and helping the Democrats. Prosperity G. O. P. Card. The Republican campaign here has been largely based on the old “full dinner pail” slogan, used against Cleveland and Bryan. The word has been spread by big employers that if full time and good wages are to be expected there must be no throwing of the presidential election into Con- gress. Labor is well employed and well paid here. The warning has had some effect. Outside of those who are candi- dates for office, or hope for appoint- ment under this or that administra- tion. most of the people today are asking themselves, “What are we going to get out of continuing the old administration in power, or out of putting a new one in?" Being human, most of the people are hoping to better their condition financially, for reductions in taxes and In living costs.

Fear Coolidge Weapon. The psychology of fear has been lined up in the Coolidge interest, as an editor of a Lutheran newspaper expressed it to me. He is for La Follette. On the other hand, it must be sald that in Minnesota the psy- chology of discontent has been aligned with La Follette. ' Disconten' is not as strong as it was some months ago. When La Follette came to Min- neapolis he turned loose a personal attack upon Coolidge. This has not sat so well as it might. Personal attacks on President Coolidge are inclined to'be resented by the people On the other hand, Senator La Fo! lette received a tremendous ovation from the crowd which gathered to hear him. Republican forecasts are that Cool- idge will carry Minnesota by from 25,000 to 50,000. It may be said, how- |ever, that if the Republican leaders fcould be assured of the national ticket's winning by 1,000, they would have a tremendous sigh of relief. They are worried, but they are work- ing and_hoping. The La Follette leaders on the other hand are claiming the State by 100,000. They are pretty certain about it, too. They have been cam- paigning for months. Got started before the Republicans and are doing everything they can to hold their followers in line.
