 positively refuses to follow the string tie, slouch hat and baggy knee styles set by the politicians who infest this region.

.HERRI0f MOBBED BY COMMUNISTS
 AT MARSEILLES
Related Arrival Of Police Saves Premier From
 Injury
fRx Associated Pressl

PARIS, Sept. 1S.-Premier Herriot of France narrowly escaped injury in Marseilles last night when POO com munists, swinging canes and sticks and shouting amnesty" made determined effort to surround and mob the premier in the Rue Cannebiere, the main thor oughfare of the southern city, members of the premier's party disclosed today on his arrival here.
 M, Herriot was rescued from the ex- cited crowd only after the police, who arrived belatedly upon the scene, had forced back the communists and dis persed the gathering. \
 Insists Upon Walking
 The premier ran into the hostile gathering because of his insistence that he be permitted to walk through the streets of the city. When he landed from a torpedo boat which had brought him from the warship La Provence from the deck of which he had witnessed a great naval review he refused to enter a limousine which awaited him at the wharf. It was for fitting, he said, that a democratic premier should walk.
 His progress from the waterfront through the Rue Cannebiere was a con- tinuous ovation, the crowd becoming denser and greater as he walked fur ther into the city. He was loudly ac- claimed and congratulated for his dem- ocratic demeanor and great cheers came up from the people as he stopped to shake hands with the common people and sailors.
 Suddenly there rushed from side street fairly compact group, estimated to number about 200 persons composed of rel representatives of the younger ele- ment in the Communist party. They were swinging their hats at the ends of their canes and sticks and shouting amnesty"
 The manifestations maneuvered a flank movement and soon had the prem fer surrounded unable to make further advance and unable to extricate himself from the hostile cordon. The sticks were swung dangerously close to his head and the attitude of the shouting communists was anything but reassur- ing.
 Remains Cool
 The premier was pale but he re- mained cool and collected amid the up- roar and in the face of the purposefully swung canes until belated police charge scattered the crowd and permit ted him to enter a passing automobile in which he proceeded to the railway station and boarded a train for Paris.

Democratic Nominee Adds Plea For Personal

Jimmie wasn't as mean all of the time as he was most of the time'."
 Reviewing the achievements of the Wilson administration, Mir. Davis said |:
 Nothing more is needed than to take the two great canvasses and paint upon them picture, first of eight years un- der democratic and then of three and one-half years under the rule of the Re- publican party and say to the Ameri- can people look upon this picture and then on that, and take your choice for the four years that are to come'."
 From Top To Bottom.
 MT. Davis stirred his audience when he declared that the Democratic party would give the country "a government, not honest in part, not honest in frac- lions, but honest from top to bottom"
 Coming then to determination of Americanism, Mir. Davis said he would determine a mans Americanism mot by his color, not by his race, not by the length of his sojourn on American soil," that he would ask those who call themselves Americans to subscribe to the three great ideas embodied in the preamble of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, human equality, personal lib- erty and popular sovereignty.
 At the mention of personal liberty there was a demonstration and when Mir. Davis defined that as freedom of religious worship and freedom from unlawful search and seizure" the crowd arose and cheered until the candidate asked that it at least divide time with me-"
 II believe, the Democratic party is truly 100 per cent American,' Mir. Davis said, after explaining that he was a democrat because he believed his party stood for the three great principles he had outlined, more closely than any other party that ever had been organ ized.
 ''Now one word with you fellow democrats" MT. Davis said. When the greatest military genius ever born on this side of the Atlantic, Stonewall Jackson, lost his life at Charlottesville one of his officers, stepping to the life. less corpse, touched the cold hand and said if you meet with Caesar tonight, tell him we still make war If to- night in the shadows of the Great Be- yond the spirits of Jefferson and Jack son and Cleveland and Woodrow Will son meet ask your permission to have them know that the democracy of the United States still makes war;

 With reference to the proposed con- stitutional amendment which would empower Congress to make measure effective over a judicial veto by re- enacting it, Senator La Toilette de- clared the only question at issue was whether the people were entitled to have such a proposition submitted to them.
 On World Wide Wave.
 Senator La Toilette concluded his prepared address with a declaration that tidal wave of democracy that knows no national boundaries is sweep ing the world. It is today sweeping over the United States, and when the fourth day of November dawns it will break to pieces the rotting, water-logged wrecks of the democratic and republi. can parties.
 What will this mean? It will mean freedom and prosperity for the common
