Campaign Shaping Up

For all there has been continuous
speaking all over the State ever since
the result of the recount of the pri-
mary vote was announced, the cam
paign has not really begun. at least,
so far as the Republicans are con-
cerned. For years, it has been the
custom to regard the Island Park
meeting as the official opening of
the campaign. Following that, the
big scheduled meetings with speak
ers from out of the State will be
held everywhere.
The names of some of those who
will be here for the Republican
campaign have already been an
nounced. The Democratic orators
are. for the present, unknown, but
it is certain there will be number
of them. None, however, will be OF
the calibre of General Dawes.
But although the campaign may
not be officially opened until next
Saturday, the "whirl- wind" tours
OF both the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for Governor, u. S.
Senator and congressman, have
made 1t evident along what lines the
campaign Is to be waged.
Democratic speakers have select
ed the Khan as the issue. They have
insisted and persisted that there is
no other question involved. They
have made 1t a personal rather than
q party contest--a fight between
Hon. Ralph .. Brewster of Port
land. the Republican gubernatorial
nominee, and Hon. William r. Pat
tangall OF Augusta. the Democratic
nominee for the same office. Demo-
cratic speakers have denied and de-
cried the stand of the Republicans
that the fight should be on party
lines. Their position is that a vote
for Brewster is n vote for Khan
domination and a vote for Pattan-
gall is vote for non Klannish in
huence in politics.
But in all the addresses OF the
Democratic speakers. there has been
no reference to voting for the
Democratic ticket. In his interview

No Dissolution Reichstag

Berlin, Aug. l1-(By A. "A
dissolution of the Reichstag because
of the governments failure to com.
mand a majority to pass the pro-
posed laws in connection with the
Dawes plan and to ratify the pact of
London IS not viewed as imminent in
official quarters here, notwithstand-
ing the bombardment OF editorial
criticism aimed at Chancellor Marx
and Foreign Minister Stresemenn by
the Conservative press.
Although the structures OF the
press are based on tho failure OF
Marx and Stresemann to obtain i'm
mediate release of the Ruhr from oc-
cupation. the nationalist organs adj
NIT that final Judgment on the net
results achieved in London must be
deferred until all the documents are
! available. While the nationalists
are leading the opposition, 1t is not
suspected they are seriously con-
templating preliminary attitude
which would result In a defeat Of the
Marx Stresemann government and
dissolution of the Reichstag. New
elections, according to political opin-
ion. would hold no promise of gains
to the nationalists hut would likely
result in the party being dispossess-
ed of many seats.
The socialists prefer TO have the
Dawes legislation go through with
out a dissolution of the Reichstag.
The other parties, however. are chat
ing for new elections. in which they
would mae the Dawes report and
the pact va London and opposition
to the grain tariff paramount issues.
The radicals are inclined to stake
their political fortunes on ballotinR
on these issues. They appear to be
convinced that the "reactionarics"
would be emphatlcally rebuked at tho
polls in the event they forced cleo
lions through their rejection OF the
results obtained ut the London con-
ference.
Government circles believe, once
the public is duly appreciative or all
that has been obtained and views the
Ruhr settlement In its real lightgt the
Reichstag opposition will be con-
fined TO such parties as are obliged
to make the customary concessions
to their constituents. and that dis,
solution of the Reichstag is only q
remote possibility.

ed by about 200 delegates and ex-

session was strictly informal and
lacked spectacular features, as the
entire conference has.

bulwark of Capitalism. When the

600 Republicans of Pennington and

"The stone which the builders have
rejected has become the headstone

Economy in state affairs and the
