J. E. Davies, Speaking at
Luncheon, Declares Middle
West Will Elect Governor.

This was Democratic day for the
members OF the Kiwanis Club, who
brushed aside their work and took
luncheon atop the Washington Hotel
TO hear Joseph 4. Davies, former
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission predict that forward looking
voters OF the West would send Gov
ernor Cox to the White House In
November.
ries out a special program and next
Thursday, prominent Republican
will be called upon to present the
case OF Senator Harding, the G. o. p.
nominee, from the Republican stand
point.
Judge Timothy T. Ansberry, who
was largely responsible for the nomi-
nation OF Governor Cox at San Fran
cisco. was TO have been the Demo
cratic speaker today. but was called
unexpectedly out OF the city. Mr..
Davies. who experienced the taste OF
defeat in the recent Michigan pri-
maries for Senator, took advantage
OF the opportunity to get in the first
word for the progressive achieve
ments of the Democratic party during
the last eight years II has been in
power.
John ]. Boobar, manager of the
Terminal Taxicab Company and presi-
dent OF the Kiwanis Club, presided
at the luncheon which was largely
attended.
Lauding Governor Coz as "a great
constructive progressive" Mr.. Davies
declared that the progressive voters
OF the Middle West and the Far West
would rally to his support In the
elections, having faith in his record
as governor of Ohio.
The Democratic party will appeal
to the voters OF the country on the
record Of the Administration" Mr..
Davies declared" and will match 1t
with the failure of the Republican
Congress to enact single construc-
tive measure during the year and a
half IL has been in control since the
armistice."
Mr.. Davies pointed to the Federal
Reserve Act, the Farm Loan Act the
creation of the Federal Trade Com
mission. the Tariff Commission and
other great constructive measures as
a part Of the record which the Demo-
cratic party intends to place before
the people.
Taking the position that the Ameri.
can people want a League Of Nations
of some kind, Mr.. Davies declared
that the Democratic party will make
a clean-cut issue of the league "with
reasonable reservations"
"It is futile and fatuous to suppose
that anly group of men can set their
judgment against the better judg-
ment Of twenty-eiEht nations Of the
world that have banded together to
end war" he declared. I'm the name
of common sense, can any party go
before the people Of the country and
ask that the peace treaty be re-
jected?"

Luther C. Steward Will Have op-

Head Federal EmpIoyes.

Strong opposition to Luther q.
Steward as president OF the Nationsi
Federation OF Federal Employ hes
developed and II is likely that seversi
other candidates for his office al be
in the feld at the time OF the annua1
convention OF the federation ina 81
Louis on September 9.
Steward has held his post for three
years. While he has been Topular
among many OF the organized ledertl
employees his leadership and policies
have been assailed by certain factions
within the federation. He has fires
quently been attacked for his course
In legislative matters.
OPPOSED AT CAPITOL.
This latter opposition has not only
come from union members. but from
Congressman themselves. Steward
has many close friends in the Capitol.
but several Congressmen have re-
peatedly criticised him on the floor.
The growing opposition TO Steward
no doubt will result in spirited elec-
ton at the next convention. Within
the past year there have been strong
evidences OF wire pulling" in the fed
Grafton. and with it's ever increasing
tneTc Ol
greater playing OF politics for ma
tional offices.
Such political manipulation has
been almost entirely absent in the
past because of the youth of tho
organization. But now the federation
is aiming at the 100000 mark in
membership, and II Is expected that
hereafter it will not be so easy to
get and hold the office of president
as II had been.

In an effort to forestall too much
politics, Local No. 2, of the federation.
Of this city. will present a resolution
to the convention calling for a re-
duction OF the executive council from
a membership Of eleven to five.
II this passes there will be no vice
presidents elected this year. At pres
ent there are nine of these. 1t has
been declared that this number Is
burdensome to the organization and
that their election gives too great
ap opportunity for politics.
