AMERICA DRIFTING
FROM CONSTITUTION, ,
ECONOMIST ASSERTS
Proposed Amendment to Lin
it Supreme Court Power
Is AssaiIed.

Toledo, o., Nov. 3.-America's
drift from the constitution is the
most sinister cloud on the poiiti-
cal horizon" L. L. Winters, Chi
cIared in an address before several
hundred business men at the Ro-
tary club Friday.
"Ouf forefathers hequeathed
to US the most wonderful govern
mental document ever DEVISED"
he said, "but we drilled into the
constitution with a charge of
dynamite by the amendment pro-
vIdina for the popular election of
senator's.
"Now it Is proposed that we
light the fuse with an amend
ment stripping the supreme court
of Its power"
Mr.. Winters outlined pro-
posed amendment to ths coHstitu-
tIon advocated by Senator LaFei-
iette of Wisconsin which he said
would take from, the high court
the power to review or annuI leg
isIatiye enactments.
Such an amendment would ut
terry destroy our constitutional
form of government" Mr.. VIM
ters asserted. 1.-The executive
council of the American Feder-
alton of Labor Imm ediately asked
for public support for this amend
ment. A few weeks later Sena-
tor LaFoilette was re-nominated
by 100000 majority. Had he not
known there were millions of cit
liens in this country who favored
such an amendment, Senator La
Toilette never would have dared
to make the proposal.
Our government was the first
since the beginning of the world to
recognize that the individual was
endowed with certain inallenable
rights; rights, which. under the
constitution, are above the gov
ernment. 1t is a fact that our
government has at times attempt
ed to conflsoate property Of indi-
viduaIs without due process of law
and without Just compensation.
Our government has attempted to
deprive men of their liberties, and
sentence men to death, contrary
to the constitution. But in each
case the supreme court has
stepped In and ended the Invasion.
1.-THE supreme court has the
only safeguard of our lives, lib
erty and property. Destroy Its
power and a tyrannical majority
would at will pass legislation which
would destroy the rights of a
helpless minority"
Mr.. Winters, who Is a director
of the Chicago board of trade.

Fiuhf Grows Hotter
as Candidates LIST
in Britain IS Made
Only Eight of Lloyd Georges Liberals Are Unop-
posed; Conservatives Watch Break Between
Labor and CoaIitionists.

The first actually elected members
of the new parliament were announced
Friday. They are the three members
for the Combined Scottish universi-
ties" two conservatives. Sir Henry
Craik and Sir George Berry, and one
nationalist liberal, ID. M. Gowan. who,
being unopposed, were declared duly
elected.
An outstanding feature of the NOM
nations is the wholesale nature of the
contests between the conservatives and
coalition liberals and between national
liberals and the laborites. There are
very few labor candidates throughout
the country, but these will have to
fight for their seats, and in no less than
1870 constituencies, liberals and labor
ties will be fighting each other with
unionists waiting to take advantage
of this split in the progressive vote,
as the labor party still declines to agree
to any accomm notation with the liberals.
Thus, there will be an enormous num-
Der of three -cornered contests, making
any forecast Of the outcome of the
elections almost impossible.
Approximately 40 conservative can
didates are unopposed. but of the ITO
Georgian Liberals, only eight are un-
opposed.

There may still be few more nom
nations before the lists are made Off,
cial Saturday, but they are considered
to be practically complete, and although
there have been conflicting reports on
the subject, apparently Mr.. Lloyd
George has no intention of carrying out
MS threat to nominate host of ear

conservatives. One such candidate was
nominated Friday to oppose Sir Will

ponents do not hesitate to declare
openly that he has been outwitted by
Sir George Younger, who, they say,

ELECTION To REVEAL
ATTITUDE Of PUBLIC
ON HARDING REGIME
Pitched Battles Anticipated i'm
Many States on No
vember Z.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Amersca' s
barometer of political and public opin-
ion will be read at the polls Tuesday,
November Z, when another national
house of representatives, more than a
third of the senate membership, and
80 governors of states, together with
state legislatures and local officials,
will be chosen.
Nationally, the general election
Tuesday is the first since the begin
ming of the Harding administration,
thus it is regarded BY many as a test,
bearing upon the next presidential
campaign. The republican ''ins" go
before the. country largely on the rec
ord of President Harding and the
present congress, an issue accepted by
their democratic and other opponents.
Excepting in Maine, where the cleo
tions were held last September, the
new sixty eighth congress of 435
all states. Thirty seven senators in
81 states also will be elected The
states electting governors are Ala
bama, Arizona, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa,
Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island. South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Two Parties Foremost

dominant parties, republican and dem
ocratic. The election is marked by
virtual passing of the progressive, or
bull moose, party. Socialist, prohibi-
ZIONIST, farmer-labor, single tax and
other organizations, however, continue
on the ballots here and there, with
some independent and other miscella-
neous designations Also marking the
local campaigns, and often affecting
the congressional contests, are the
liquor, Ku Klux Klan and other ques-
tions.
Congressional candidates mostly are
for the sixty eighth congress which

should be called OF the 81 senatorial
seats at issue, 30 are for regular
terms of six years beginning in the

dition to the 435 members of the next
house to be chosen, there are three to

session. two from Nebraska and one

Capture of control of the next house
is the avowed objective of the dem
