LA TOILETTE GETS
BACKING IN SOUTH
Democrats Report to Head
quarters Offended Ones
Will Vote Protests.
BY ROBERT r. SMALL

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 16-Prominent
Democrats from the South are re-
porting TO political headquarters
here that Senator La Toilette and
his Progressive ticket will get a far
larger vote in the solid South" than
heretofore has been expected The
vote is not expected to be large
enough to upset any Democratic cal
culations as to the outcome in the
Southern States, but it will be in
dicative of R feeling within the
heart" OF the Democratic party
which may require considerable at
tention at some time in the near
future. .r4,
There is no particular sympathy in
the South for La Toilette ideas as
n whole. SO theS"votes for him will
lie 80 per cent of the protest variety,
the treatment some of the Southern
states received at the hands of the
New York convention.
Resentment Voiced.
The resentment which evidenced
itself at Madison Square Garden in
the Georgia delegation. for instance,
has spread to that State, and it is
there that La Toilette may get his
biggest Southern vote. Texas is an
other State which felt it was un-
fairly treated in the Garden, and the
stories told by the delegates upon
their return home have had an effect
upon the voters
The New York galleries and many
of the Northern delegates laughed
and booed and Kissed and shouted
while the band played "Marchins
Through Georgia" during one of the
anti-ku klux demonstrations in the
convention hall, and that one in
stance aroused an anger and left a
hurt which will be felt for years in
that particular portion of the South.
ku klux Issue Reused.
In other parts of the South it was
felt that the convention classed all
of the Southern States as dominated
by the knights of the Hooded Order.
1t was pointed out that some of
these States stood as solidly as New
York itself in favor Of the minority
platform report which would have
denounced the klan by name. 1t is
argued that Indiana stood as strong
ly in defense of the klan as half
of the States from the other side of
the Mason Dixon line.

Will be most affected by the vote
polled by the independents, which
leaders OF the movement say will
reach $4,000, is problematical.
The labor vote, which is expected
to go almost solidly for La Toilette,
will be drawn in Baltimore largely
from the Democrats, and in Western
Maryland, to a marked extent, from
the Republicans. Each OF the two
old parties claims the small end of
this loss, but the Democrats are more
clearly anxious about the result than
are the Republicans.

DAVIS TO DECLARE
HIS LABOR VIEWS
In Early Speech Will Advo-
cate Its Voice in In
dustry's Councils.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOCUST VALLEY. y. Y. August Is
In his Labor day speech John w.
Davis very likely will give full exposi-
ton of his views. first stated in his ac-
ceptance address, that the democracy
in government and democracy in in
dustry alike demand the free recogni-
tion of the right of all of those who
work, in whatever rank or place to
share in all decisions that effect their
welfare.
On behalf of the Democratic presi-
dental candidate, it was stated today
that his conviction is that there can be
no lasting settlement of industrial un-
rest until the workers have a share in
the councils of industry and that
labor's knowledge of its own needs gives
it right to voice in all matters of
government that directly or peculiarly
affect this right.
With labor having voice in the
management of industry. Mr.. Davis
believes there will be removed the
main cause of industrial disputes be-
cause there will be full opportunity
for the workers to have constructive
knowledge of exact conditions respect
ing the adequacy of wages and other
matters which usually form the basis
Of disagreement.
FavorS Stock Distribution.
The Democratic nominee also is rep
resented as holding to the view that
the plan of stock distribution TO the
workers now in operation in some lines
of industry should be given wide ap-
plication one that has proved and
will prove helpful alike to labor and to
industry.
With respect to representation in
government councils, Mr. Davis believes
that those agencies dealing with labor
should be given into the charge of
men who have had practical experience
and who thus would bring to their
task an intimate knowledge both of the
problem and questions demanding So
luton and of conditions is they exist
in practice rather than in theory.
The Democratic nominee remained at
his home here today marshaling ma
terial for his forthcoming addresses.
He spent the entire morning in his
study and made substantial progress
on the speech he is to deliver at
Columbus, Ohio, on August 26.
Before going to the West. Mr.. Davis
will deliver two addresses in the East,
both at Seagirt n. j., next Friday, it
was stated today at his headquarters.
The first will be before the State
Democratic committee and the second
at an open air meeting.
The place for the delivery of the
Labor day address still is undeter-
mined. While some of his admirers
have urged that he make at least one
speech between August 26 and Sep
tember /. it is not at all certain that
he will do so, as, personally, he does
not believe in too great an expendi-
ture of effort and ammunition in the
early stages of the campaign.
Besides working on his addresses, Mr..
Davis conferred today with Senator
Copeland of New York, who volun-
teered his services in the campaign,
and played round of golf with George
Gardiner, a former law partner.

him they will be with him. Already
