There will be some passing the

will be pointed out that Mr.. Davis
himself selected his running mate

for defeat if it comes, and he will

1t is quite evident that the labor
vote is to be divided into three
parts in This election, this assur
ance being clinched by an event
which occurred last Friday. This
was the formation OF an orga MIA
tion by union labor men called the
National Democratic Labor Com
mfttee, committed to the candidacy
of John w. Davis. The originators
of the movement were A labor
leaders in New York.
At their head were Maj. George
L. Barry, president of the Inter-
national Printing Pressmen's
Union, who was himself a con-
testant with Mr. Davis for the
nomination: p. J. Morrin, president
of the International Association of
Iron and Structural Steel Work
ers, and John j. Dowd, vice presi-
dent of the International Brother
hood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship
Builders and Helpers. They in
formed Mr.. Davis that the A
labor leaders had decided to or

This was about tho best news
that Democratic headquarters had

but it was expected as inevitable.
When the executive council sought
to hand over the American Fed

GOV. AL SMITH OPENS
new ENGLAND TOUR
Speaks at Manchester for Demo-
cratic Campaign-Coolidge
Leads Straw Vote.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


MANCHESTER. y. H, October IL
Gov. AL Smith of New York opened
his New England speaking tour in
this city Monday and was greeted by
one Of the. biggest audiences ever as
sembled In the Granite State. That
he made a profound impression here
in behalf of the Democratic national
ticket is claimed by State Democratic
Chairman Robert Jackson, and many
Democrats who seemed to be slipping
toward the La Toilette forces were
believed won back by Smiths heart
to-heart talk.
The New York governor charged
the Republicans with being blind to
all sense of party responsibility for
the scandals and mistakes of the
Harding and Coolidge administra-
tions; with ignoring the Issues raised
in the party Platforms; with trying
to blot out Of the public mind the oil
scandal, the Veterans Bureau scan
dal and the alleged failure of the Re
publicans to give a progressive and
constructive administration.
He amused the crowd with de-
scription of the Coolidge campaign.
''The Republicans have explained that
Mr.. Coolidge can't talk very much
because he is not a talker: he Is
doer SO they have fixed up some nice
window dressing for him to be doing
something in. They have got out the
old Vermont cheese factory and the
old Vermont sap bucket"
Wednesday night a big Republican
rally here did not attract such a big
audience as 'Al" Smith. Senator
Frank B. Willis Of Ohio and Senator
Henry w. Keyes of New Hampshire
were the principal speakers. They
defended the Republican party plat
form. Capt. John G. Winant, candi-
date for Governor of New Hampshire,
replied to Gov. Fred H Browns
speech at the al Smith rally on his
ability to put through a 4s-hour law
for women and children in industry.
In a straw vote being conducted in
New Hampshire by the Manchester
Union President Coolidge has a big.
lead this week, with La Toilette gain
ing over Davis. In the Industrial
centers Of the State La Toilette seems
to be gaining daily; in fact, the in
dorsement of the third-party move
ment received at the State labor con-
vention put La Toilette in the run
ming here. The straw vote indicates
the race for governor Of the State
will be close when the returns are
tabulated.

BOISE, Idaho, October 11.-voters
IN Idaho are deciding between the
principles of Mr. Coolidge and Mr..
Ia Toilette, and there is strong evil
dA nee this week that La Toilette is
loa ing ground. Even the fear OF
higher taxes should the Government
follow La Follette's scheme relative

gressive proposed measure, which

of other religious faiths who believe
that the trainers of our National Con-
stitution we're inspired. and who will

tuition a danger above all other issues
in this camp aign.
Coincidentl with the recent annual
church confidence of the Mormons in
Salt Lake haA come a wave of cppo-
sition to La Toilette. This wave has
driven many Mormon Democratic
votes to Coolidge, and the net result
for Mr.. Davis has been a desperately

MOTOR CAR IN TREE TOP.
Machine Found 500 Feet Below
Canyon Road Atop 40-Foot Elm.

From the Los Angeles Times.
An almost new motor car resting in
the top branches OF a forty-foot elm
tree in Santa Anna Canyon, California,
has furnished a new puzzle to the au-
thorities.
The mongrel dog of Henry Bates, a
stock ranger in the canyon, made the
strange discovery the other night. The
dog barked at the motor car more
safely probably than he had ever bark
ed at a car before and Bates inyesti-
gated. A crew Of deputy sherifrs ani
mechanics spent the rest of the hight
getting the car out of the tree. II
was damaged slightly.
There was nothing to show how il
got there, but it must have catapulted
from the road. at a point three hundred
feet above. The vicinity was searched
thoroughly for bodies and none was
found.
The car is registered to Henry o
Wagner of Whittier Wagner, it was
said, left for Wisconsin three weeks
ago, and two weeks ago his car was
reported stolen.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, October IL
AS election day nears evidence is seen
of strenuous effort on the part of
the Republican party in the State to
bring out a big vote In the fourth
district, which includes Jacksonville,
the seat of Representative w. J. Sears
is to be hotly contested by a Repub-
lican candidate. The campaign is
carried on through the mail, princi-
pally, and serves to arouse the Demo-
Gratis to the necessity for rallying at
the polls. In previous years 1t has
been thought unnecessary by the
greater part OF the Democrats to
bother with the general election. In
dications now point to a big vote in
the general election. The La Toilette
party having organized. will partic-
ipate warmly and noisily in the
election. The strength of the third
party is not thought to amount to
very much. but it is sufficient to scare
the old parties into action.
While the Republicans have candi-
dates for all State offices and for the
four congressional seats as well as
for electors, it is not thought they
will do more than make q gesture,
which Is regarded as necessary to
secure patronage in the event Of Re-
publican national victory.

The woods are being shelled in
Tennessee by the orators of both the
Democratic and publican parties,
both having sent into the field all the
oratorical ability they command. The
extensiveness of the speaking cam

kellar of Tennessee and Caraway of
Arkansas have been on the stump in
middle Tennessee this week, and Hef-

speeches earlier. The various party
nominees. Gen. l.. D. Tyson for United

governor, and Harvey H. Hannah for
railroad commissioner, are, of course,
on the hustings, and several of the
Democratic Congressman, including
McReynolds. Davis, Byrns and Fisher,
have been out arraigning the Repub-

the presidential nominee, is to speak

German Americans generally believe
hat they owe a debt to La Toilette,
because of his stand during the war.
characteristic of the German is to
pay his debts. There will be German
Americans, of course, who vote the
Republican ticket as they have done

William q. McAdoo. at present a
patient at Johns Hopkins Hospital. is
causing uneasineSs among Democratic
leaders in the State. The word has
gone forth that McAdoo, recovering
after an operation. is contemplating
making several speeches for Davis in
Maryland.
This expectancy is worrying some
of the conservative Democrats What
these conservatives fear, it is said
is that If McAdoo speaks in Maryland
for Davis, the path Of the Democratic
candidate, already none too smooth in
this State, will be further roughened
1t Is recognized that McAdoo might
be an influence in reclaiming some OF
the railroad workers who have gone
over to the La Toilette bandwagon,
but it is feared that he would more
than offset this by alternating other
voters who have the impression that
NcAdoo is unsafe" and that he is a
favorite of the Anti-Saloon League
and of the Khan.
The klan question is also causing
considerable worry to the Republican
leaders here owing to a threatened
revolt of the negro vote.

fact that President Coolidge is the
only candidate of the three who so
far has not openly denounced the

The latest reports of trouble in

in the Jewish vote to President

not satisfied with his attitude nor
with his failure to make a sharp

appealing for support for the

that with the election of the

even if a Republican Congress
