 FOR PRESSMEN'S HONOR

 see a deputauon of four members of New York printing pressmen's union who called at the James A. Burden home here to present to the royal visitor personally an engraved certificate of honorary membership in the union.

Mass. Candidate Pledges Him.
 self to Party Policies

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 20. - A promise to follow the policies of Calvin Coolidge and Charming Cox as governors of Massachusetts was made by Lieutenant Goevrnor Alvan T. Fuller, the republican nominee for governor, at the republican state convention here today.
 Four years ago, Calvin Coolidge was governor of Massachusetts and it was because of the record he made in that office that the repub- lican convention was swept off its feet when a gentleman from Oregon nominated him for the vice-presi- dency. He is now the president of the United States xx," Mir. Full Ter said.
 Let no man have doubt as to my policy as governor. It will be to continue the business like. efficient, and economical administrations of Calvin Coolidge and Charming Cox, D said Nr. Fuller. Under Governor Coolidge, commissions were con- solidated, the budget was introduced and the affairs of the state put on Ia firm basis Under Governor Cox's leadership, the commission on ad- ministration was established and perfecting legislation was enacted which gave the commission an op- portunity to effect wide economies and improve business methods X x Now we are going to strive to con- tinue these methods which guard the public treasury . and the we'll being of our citizens so effectively XXXX as governor of this con- monwealth, it will be my purpose to serve all the people,"

LA TOILETTE WILL
 SPEAK TOMORROW
Makes Open Air Speech at Yankee Stadium

Washington. Sept. 2O.-Preparins for another Speech making invas- ton of New York City, Senator Robert M. LaFollette spent today shaping up the address he intends 10 deliver tomorrow before the Steuben Society in Yankee Stadium.
 Unlike the speech Thursday night in Madison Square Garden which marked his first appearance before an audience since he. became an in- dependent presidential candidate, to- morrow's effort, he says, will be non. political.
 Senator LaFollette said today tlIt he never had campaigncd on Sunday and never would. He accepted an invitation to speak tomorrow, he ex- plained, to pay tribute to. .Friederich Wilhelm von Steuben, the Prussian who served with distinction as a general officer in the American re- voutionary forces. The meeting of the society, made up of men and wopen of German ancestry, will be in commemoration of ton steubens birth.
 The Wisconsin senator plans to arrive in New York tomorrows in time to proceed directly 10 the Steuben Society meeting. He prob. ably will return to Washington Mon day, to remain here a week or ten days before starting out on an ex- tensive campaign tour. He apparent- ly suffered no ill effects from hie first New York trip, and declared or his arrival here last night from the Metropolis that he was in fine fettle and was looking forward eagerly to more speaking engagements.

SEEK RUM SMUGGLERS
special Squad of Boston Police on Lookout for Consignment of Rum From Cape Cod Way.

Boston, Sept. 2O-A special squad
 police was assigned today to
 lard roads leading into Boston rom the Cade Cod district in an ffort to prevent shipment here of large stocks of alcohol known to be stored at cape points. In making his announcement Captain George Patterson, in charge of the liquor detail of the Boston police force, said he had information that snug glers plan to rush fleet of liquor laden trucks through the cordon and into the city on the first stormy night.
 Because of close surveillance by prohibition agents and police, the captain said, stores of smuggled Bel gian alcohol have been accumulat- ing at landing places along Cape Cod, and short supply in Boston has caused the bootleggers to in- crease prices from $2.50 a gallon to five dollars. The officer estimat- ed that 100000 gallons, estimated to he worth s50O,000 is now stored in the Cape Cod district where fed eral agents are now searching for the hiding places.

GILLET LAUDS
 PRES. COOLIDGE
Scores La Toilette and Attacks
 Davis Policies

Worcester Mass Sept. tO.-- Speaker Frederick II, Gillett of the national house of representatives ad- dressing the republican state con- vention today as nominee for the |, $. senate devoted his speech to dis cussion Of the candidates of Davis and La Toilette as opponents Of President Coolidge.
 so well known and so forceful as his (Coolidgo's) character and aslli- ty and political philosophy that he has become the chief political issue, and the people everywhere are turn ing to him as the inspiration of their political faith and action," he said,
 He asserted that La Policies re- cent arguments of sympathy with the great mass Of the people while his opponents champion the privileg- few Xx were so inaccurate as 10 be crotesque." Speaker Gillett added that Mir. Davis is merely the attor- noy for the democratic party, and his nomination for the presidency was his retaining fee"
 The speaker said he did not be- ieve the speeches Governor Bryan of Nebraska was making in the west would help the democratic cause in May referring especially to his threat of lower tariff"
 b ,t cannot q ways insure prosperity, but a demo- cratic tariff can always insure dis aster.
 "The present tariff has so com- pletely contradictcd democratic pro- phecies that I should not think they would like to discuss it. It has pro duced more revenue than any pre- decessor and at the same time not only exports have increased, but inn ports also. What more would the democratic party ask unless to close some more New England mills?"
 Reverting 10 Senator La Toilette, he speaker said he did not believe his generation wanted government ownership of railroads, and added:
 His attack on the supreme court nay be dangerous for it may attract many well intentioned citizens, par icularly of foreign birth, who have ooked on the courts at home as the instruments and creatures of arbi- 'rary government.
 Speaker Gillett said this country oday was the happiest, most pros- 1erous people on the globe" and that there never was such freedom, .uch luxury, such opportunity for re- aumerative labor as now.

Davis Plans PaceMakins Trip @ in This Section

Chicago, Sept. 20--John w. Davis. democratic presidential candidate. was ready today 10 follow up his campaign In Indiana, opened last night in ringing speech at Gary. where he declared a new for the principles of human equality, per- sonal liberty and popular sovereign ity," and pledged his party to do battle ''in every state in the union" in assault against privilege in gov ernment."
 Under schedule that called for departure early today from Chicago, Mir. Davis was to make two address es at South Bend. one at,a luncheon at noon, and another at the baseball ] park In the afternoon, and one ad- dress tonight at Fort Wayne.
 MT. Davis planned to leave Fort Wayne tonight and arrive fin New York Sunday evening. With his per- sonal headquarters there as a base, he will conduct whirlwind cama | paign in .Massa chusetts, Rhode Isl land, New York, Delaware and Maryland before again heading westward. Early in October he will speak in West Virginia, Ohio, In- diana, Southern Illinois, Missouri and perhaps in Oklahama, Kansas and Michigan.
 In his Gary address, MT. Davis dis. cussed taxation, with particular re. ference to the tariff, from the view Il point he said, of the three major theories underlying all taxation, thu republican, the socialistic and thu democratic.
 Using figure of speech to. driv' home his argument, MT. Davis saic the republican theory Was apalogou to toll gate system under which tn proceeds of taxation were devoted primarily to the comfort and well being of those "Riding in Limou sines." Underlying this theory, h. added, was the belief that if tn, limousine owners were cared fo all the pedestrians and those riding in less expensive cars eventual. would be benefited by the resultan era of prosperity.
 The socialistic doctrine, he said proposed a system of taxation de vised with a view that all should ride in limousines, through govern nent control of the economic factor of live. If that theory prevailed he argued, the man who placed thu people in their seats in the limou sines would be a despot controlling the destinies of all.
 Both theories are unsound, he de clared, in that they omit humar nature as the important factor il life. The democratic theory h. described as one that shaped tht whole burden of taxation with re gard to the backs that are to bea it, and that the fundamental pur pose of government must Be equa rights to all, high or low, ant special privileges to none.
