 Democratic Victory
By Associeted Press

Denver, October 16-In an address here today William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury and war time director of the railway ad- ministration, assailed the Harding policy of defiation and the repub- lican tariff bill and concluded with an appeal for the election of a dem ocratic Congress and for the election of the democratic tickets in all states.
 The republicans have passed the most extortionats and indefensible tariff bill ever enacted in our his tory" MT. McAdoo said The Payne Aldrich bill, which destroyed Mir, Taft politically and brought the re- publican party to defeat in 1912. is outclassed by the Fordney- -NcCumber bill.
 Tt is estimated the cost of living to the American people will be in- creased by the Fordney- -McCumber bill 5000, 100000 per annum of which only S400,000.000 will go into the American treasury The remaining $500. 00000 will be collected by monopolies, trusts and greedy com binations for the special profit of these favored interests"
 Discussing the Harding policy of deflation, Mir. McAdoo declared that mo more fatuous policy was ever pursued in American history than this attack by one great political party upon prosperity"
 Asked About Bonus
 When asked if he is a candidate for the presidency. MT. McAdoo said: Nothing appeals to me less than a presidential suit or presidential suite"
 During his speech, MT. McAdoo was asked by some one in the audience about the soldiers bonus.
 Mir. McAdoo replied that he would the favored trusts and monopolies and corporations under the Fordney Me- Cumber tariff bill be ascertained for g three or five year period immedl- ately preceding the passage of that law, and that the earnings of these trusts, monopolies and corporations after the passage of the Fordney- McCumber bill be ascertained an- nually, and that 50 per cent of the amounts earned by them in excess of the average earnings prior to the passage of the Fordney- McCumber bill be devoted to the payment of the soldiers bonus"
 He declared half of such earnings should be used to pay the just claims of those who saved liberty for American and the world and in this way no additional burdens would be put on the people"

 Dor Quarters

London, october 16.-This has been 4 day of feverish activity in Down. irg street, the chief development be- ing summons to the unionist mem bers of the cabinet and $50 unionist members of the House of Commons to a conference at the Carlton club on october 19 to decide whether to break up the coalition or stand by Premier Lloyd George.
 The decision to call thls meeting was taken at No. II Downing street, Austen Chamberlain's home, after consultation of Mir. Chamberlain with his unionist colleagues and the chief party organizers, among them Sir George Younger, who, 1t Is recalled, "scotched" the premier's general election plan a few months ago on the ground that the party machinery was not ready.
 Chamberlain To Provide
 MT. Chamberlain as party leader will preside at the Carlton club meet ing, the result of which the premier will await before deciding on his line of action. MT. Chamberlain will ask for vote of confidence, and on this will depend his remaining in office and the ensuing general election. If accorded 1t will be left for the pre- mier to indicate his course. which in any case will not be divulged until after he attends the Prince of Wales public welcome home at the Guild hall, October 20.
 Participation of Winston Church i'll, the colonial secretary, in the campaign has been suddenly cut short by an attack of gastritIs. which has obliged him to cancell all public engagements. Prior to MT. Chamber lains consultation the premier held "a war council" at No. 10 Downing street with the members of his cab fnet, including MT. Chamberlain, after which he departed for chequers court.
 Rumblings Heard
 Ominous rumblings are heard from labor quarters, one prominent party official being reported to have de- clared that no fewer than 420 labor candidates would appear in the next election, of whom sufficient would be returned to make it most difficult for any government to resist them J. H. Thomas, speaking al Newport, delivered scathing indictment of the government which. he said. had lost all prestige and honor. He pre- dicted an election before Christmas and round1y condemned MT. Chamber lain's suggestion of other parties combining against labor, as depriving labor of the right to vote and forcing the men to direct action.
 Sir Walter Runciman at liberal meeting at Portsmouth made an- other onslaught against the govern ment, which he declared was vacil- lating in its foreign policy and inef- ficient In finance.
