Negro Vote In The North
 To Be Important Factor
Side-Stepping Of Klan Issue At Cleveland And
 Davis Legal Record To Say C. O. P. Strength

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The negro vote is going to be a factor in the north efn and middle-western industrial states in the coming presidential campaign.
 The vote of the northern negro has always been a certain factor heretofore, but it was very small, and cut little fig ure. It was always republican. This year it is largely-nearly a million-and- a-half negroes now live in the north and it is not going to be all republican, by any means.
 There is indication of defection from their old allegiance to the republican party among northern negroes, partly because of the avoidance of the Klan issue by the republican convention. The democrats, because of the near-victory of an anti-Klan plank in their plat form, count on some of the negro votes falling to them on this score.
 Favored In Decision
 The democrats also have an appeal to the negro vote through the record of their candidate, John W. Davis, who as solicitor general of the United States won decision before the supreme court which declared the so-called grand father clause" in many state constitu- tions unconstitutional. This was the clause which deprived negroes of the ballot in many southern states by set ting up certain prohibitive qualifica- tions.
 Further than this, democrats now claim that many negroes, especially those who migrated to the north, have become independent in their voting.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-10

Thousands of negroes, they say, have voted the democratic ticket in recent elections, and have been responsible for victories where the margin was close.
 Another factor has recently been brought into the situation, which may swing votes away from both of the ma jor parties, the denunciation of the Klan by Senator La Toilette. He is the only presidential candidate who has come out against the hooded order. Whether this will attract negro votes to the in dependent ticket is not known, but il is likely to have it's influence.
 Influence Counts
 In 1920, there were ,472 ,309 negroes in the north. In 1870 there were only 42,S1S. Most of the northern negroes live in the larger cities. They are in a minority, but they make their political influence count.
 With greater opportunities for edu- cation, an increasing number of them are exercising the suffrage, and are giv- ing thought to it. This was pointed out to the writer by prominent negro leader who predicted the negro vote in time would become real decisive fac tor.
 All three political movements will make bid for the negro vote this year, chiefly because it is centered in those states which are classed as doubtful" |" and where every vote is going to count in the last analysis. The republicans will seek to hold it in line, the demo- crats and independents to win it away from its old allegiance.

American Party Nominee Takes Issue With La
 FOllette's Letter

WASHINGTON. Aug, 9.-In a long statement headed, "A Reply To Senator La Toilette" Gilbert o. Nations, nomi- nee of the American party for the presidency. declared tonight that the Ku Klux Klan never had discriminated against any one or an@ --oun because of religious faith.
 Referring to Mir, T. -4atte'S recect letter defining his Ea toward tre klaf, the statemt ,.c- re. .ha iods- pendent preside ,r. JIaAta had of the issues tsA galss dis- cuss."
 Neither the Ku Klux Klan. ,.-- Guardians of Liberty, the Pathfinders nor the Junior Order of American Me chanics," Mir. Nations said. nor any of the organized bodies of citizens that have within the last decade voiced opp position to the activities of the papal system in our country, have done so on the ground of religious or racial pre- judice or intolerance.
 "All members of those bodies concur fully with Senator La Toilette in de- precating with all their might any such prejudice or intolerance. None Of them have discriminated against any person or groups because fo religious faith. They have uniformly been among the foremost champions of the religious liberty guaranteed in the first amend ment to the constitution of the United States.
 "They would defend the religious lib- erty and every legal right. of a Roman Catholic with exactly the same prompt ness and vigor as those of Protestant. The public has been so diligently Inis- led touching this point that I; feel justified in the interest of truth and correct understanding in setting forth this emphatic refutation of an errAr that has been very widely prepagated The statement declared that in the democratic national convention and in many other cases the issue had net been raised by the klan but by its 'furiously intolerant" enemies. It was asserted that Catholic law condemns our schools and prohibits Roman Catholic children from attending them" and that the vatican constantly exercises pow CTS that are not religious" but ''po. litical."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.--SenatoI Wheeler of Montana, independent can didate for vice president, sent word to. day that he expects to return to Wash ington by August 20 from vacation spent with his family on the Massachu- sctts shore.

 Consideration is being given by Sena- tor La Toilette to the desirability of delivering several speeches on the Pa cific coast. Senator Wheeler, after opening with an address in New Eng land, probably Boston, around Septem- Der l, is expected to move westward and may invade the coast states. Requests are being received from sup porters of the independnt ticket On tht

TOPEKA, Kas., Aug. 9.-Governor Jonathan NJ. Davis announced after a meeting of persons interested in pre- parations for national defense day, September 12, that he would issue a proclamation, calling for general ob- servance of St. Mihiel Day, September 12, but that he would take no further action toward defense day at least pending a proclamation from the Presi- dent.

BUTLER REVEALS
 PARTISAN PLAN
 FOR COP. TICKET
Will Seek To Draw Votes From Number Of
 Other Parties

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9,-President Coolidge devoted attention to republic an campaign plans at another confer ence this afternoon with Chairman But Ter of the national committee after the chairman announced organization of R national partisan movement for Cool idge and Dawes probably would be launched soon.
 Mir. Butler told the President the movement had been inspired by; volun- tary expressions of members of other parties in sympathy with the candidacy of the President.
 Reports to me-" Mir. Butler said, "are to the effect that men and women are leaving their party fold to support our presidential ticket because of their appreciat tion of the sincerity and hon. esty of the Coolidge administration.
 Expression Of Confidence.
 Some of them also have admitted a slight dissatisfaction with their own party leadership. In certain cases they have announced their intention also of voting for certain local republican can didates, but this is not general Un- derneath all is the confidence in the president and his judgment"
 Despite another day of intense heat, MT. Coolidge was at his office desk throughout the morning.
 Tentative plans have been made by the President to leave here on his va cation to Plymouth. Vt, next Friday night, the night after the formal neti- fication exercises. Under this program, he and Mrs. Coolidge would arrive at Plymouth the next afternoon.
 Plans Complete Rest.
 The President is planning to make the visit one of complete rest He has consented to installation of special tele- phone service at Plymouth to be used for the conduct of such government business as is urgently necessary, but so far as possible, hopes to relax from his official duties, with his father, Mrs. Coolidge and their son, John.
 Under present plans no party lead CTS will accompany the President and the campaign will be left, so far as Mir. Coolidge is concerned, entirely in the hands of the national committee and advisers. The President heard further favorable reports on the progress of the campaign today from Senator Stan field of Oregon. and Representative Chindblom of Illinois.

FORD IS CANDIDATE
 FOR U. s. SENATE
Petitions Are Filed With Mich
 igan Secretary Of State

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 9.-Henry Ford became an involuntary candidate for the republican nomination for United States senator when petitions containing sufficient signatures to place his name on the primary ballot Septem- Der O. were filed with the secretary of state today.
 The Ford for senator boom was started a few days ago without his consent or knowledge and his name will go on the ballot unless he requests it's withdrawal. Although his close as- sociates have termed the move absurd" it is considered likely he will follow his course in previous elections and ignore the filing entirely. Efforts to ascertain what interests were behind the Ford boom have been fruitless.

coast that La Toilette also come into that territory.
 Some of Mir. La Follettes advisers are urging him to do so and it was said to be not unlikely that he will deliver limited number of speeches in the northwest, in several coast citis, among them Seattle and San Francisco and at one or two western points, such as Den yer, on his way eastward.
 Such plans, however, are still nebulus and it was emphasized that it might be found advisable for Senator La Fol lette to leave the speech-making in. the far west to his drumming mate and con. fine his operations to the east and mid. ale west.

WHY RISK LIFE TO
SAVE S
DIR. FREDERICK r.. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"

PUNCTUALITY is a virtue. But
even virtue can be carried too far
Samuel e. Freundlich, sixty years
old, had been employed by n firm for
over thirty years and In all that time
he had never been late. He lived at
Rosehill, a Chicago suburb, and took
the 1905 a. m. train every morning.
The other day he was a few minutes
late and reached the station just as
the train was pulling out. He ran to
catch it, jumped for the platform,
missed it and went under the wheels.
He lost both of his legs and probably
his life.
We are all creatures of habit. Reg
ularlty and punctuality are highly com
mendable characteristics. But they
aren't worth risking your life for.
It's better to break your record than
to break your neck. Be on time. by
all means, but when an occasional mis-
calculation makes you a few minutes
late, don't risk your life in order TO
maintain your record.
Men who are sixty years old haven't
any business running after trains, any
how. It's all right for the boy or the
young But the muscle fbers Of
the heart are like rubber. When you
are young they can stretch, even be-
yOnd the ordinary. without permanent
injury. But by middle life the heart
muscle is like old rubber. It's all right
as long as you don't put an unusual
strain IN it, but if it's stretched, it's
apt to break.
Men and women over forty-fve, and
especially over fifty. should avoid sud
den, extreme and unusual exertion. If
the heart muscle is not diseased, it's
fully equal to the ordinary, everyday
strain which is put ON it. But sudden
and severe exertion may cause serious
if not fatal consequences. Unusual ex-
ertiOn increases the rate and force of
the hearts action. The heart is like
a rubber ball. If il Is overstrained, 1t
stretches. This msy cause acute dila-
tation Of the heart, sometimes severe
enough to produce death, or it may re-
suit in stretching the valves of the
heart so that they never work properly
hereafter.
Many serious heart conditions have
heir origin In some unusual exertion,
which is often unnecessary. If you
re middle-aged or past, don't run after
treet cars or trains. Wait until the
lext n comes, wen If you are a little
ate. This may require five or ten min
tes' waiting, but 1t may mean several
ears longer life.

Editor OF "HEAIlTH''


XKTHAT would you think of a man
w who carried day and night, wher-
ever he went, a %50-pound burden on
his back? You'd say he was crazy and
you'd probably be right. It's all well
enough for Christian in "Pilgrim's Prog
ress" or for fanatics in India or China,
but no common-sense American would
do such a foolish thing.
Hold on, though
How about that so pounds Of surplus
fat you're carrying? Is that any more
sensible?
What's the difference, whether the
burden is on your back or under your
skin? It's an unnecessary burden just
the same.
You wouldn't bet on a fat prize
fighter, or put your money on a fat
race horse, would you? You'd know
they weren't 'in condition" and that
If you backed them you'd lose.
II you carry surplus and Unnecessary
weight, you're going to lose.
The paunch around your waist isn't
all. For every pound Of fat you have
on your stomach there's another pound
inside. Fat in your muscles, fat
around your lungs and heart and fat
around your blood vessels. And it's
all unnecessary weight to carry and
needless fat that clogs and impedes
your muscles.
Life insurance companies will not
issue a policy to anyone who is 40 per
cent overweight. They know that fat
people are more subject to diabetes,
kidney diseases, heart diseases and
hardened blood vessels than are people
of normal weight.
Life insurance companies are run to
make money and they don't place any
bets on men who are not Gin condi-
ton"
Why are you too fat7
In TO per cent Of cases because you
eat too much or use your muscles too
little, or both.
You put food In your stomach and
the body digests it and makes fuel
out of 1t. But 1t has more than it
needs, so the surplus is stored up un-
der your skin and between your mus
Giles and around your heart to get 1t
out Of the way.
It's waste that makes waist.
Fat means that you are buying more
food than you need eating more food
than you need; carrying more weight
than you need, and clogging up your
body machinery.
In current business language, it's too
much overhead, though 1t isn't owe
head at all.
What's the remedy?
Eat less, work more. That's the
only antifat prescription that's worth
taking. Save money, save energy and
gain better health by having a better
physical machine to work with.
