States, delivering three or more adj
dresses to the voters each day, his
principal speaking centers being
Portland, Me; Manchester. N. H.;
Providence, r. L.: New Haven, Conn,
and other New England cities.
Itinerary Is Vague.
The itinerary of the Montana Sem
ator. after the conclusion of his New
England tour, was still vague when
he left here last night, due chiefly
to uncertainty as to when he will be
brought to trial in Montana on
charges of accepting fees as an at
torney for appearing before Il Federal
Senate. He said, however, he was
making plans with the expectation
that the trial would get under way by
mid-September
Meantime, Mr.. Wheeler added, he
would continue stumping in the East,
proba bly, in New York State. and
perhaps in New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. and in the event his trial is
delayed. may spend several weeks
campaigning in the East before in
vading the West.
In a Labor day statement issued
last night, Matthew Woll, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, declared that it was the duty
of every American wage Garner to
consecrate himself to the great task
of bringing about the election of
La Toilette and Wheeler"
THE American Federation of Labor'S
non-partisan political policy" con-
tinued Mr.. Woll has this year above
all others demonstrated its practical
character and its ability to meet
emergencies. 1t is on the basis of a
non-partisan analysis and a refusal
to become part of party organiZa-
tions that we have declared our un-
Swerving support of the Independent
ticket.
Chance for Workers.
The working people of America
have a glorious opportunity this year
to redeem government for the masses
of the people. Labor day is fitting
day for planning to carry forward this
work. Ii is fitting day to put into
the campaign all of the determination
and enthusiasm which our great move
ment possesses.
This is more than a political cam
paign. 1t is a crusade in behalf of
great principles"
Senator Ladd of North Dakota, who
is supporting the. LaFolette Wheeler
ticket. in a statement said that
neither of the two old parties need
expect any great showing of popular
approval in the Northwest at the COM
ing election"
Senator LaFollette, he predicted,
will carry the Northwest hands-down

GREENSBORO, n. c., September l.
Robert Leonard. Greensboro man. has
lived to see 10 Presidents of the
United States serve, but, at the age
of 103 he has never voted for one.
He will, however, vote for John w.
Davis, Democratic standard bearer, in
the November election.
Mr.. Leonard, asked of course the
usual question ITO what do you at
tribute your long life?' said he had
never taken a drink of liquor. That's
not the only reason for his many
years, however, as he also gives "liv-
ing a clean life" credit of advanced
age. Another thing has contributed,
at least serving to keep him from any
violent end he believes in live and
let live" policy.
Twice married, he has strong ideas
on woman and her conduct. His first
wife he considered paragon. She
ploughed the fields and worked the
farm while I was away at war"
Leonard served in the Confederate
army. He doesn't think so much of
modern women, especially the modern
girl. with short hair and painted face.
He was born in Sumner township,
Guilford County, 1o3 years ago, he
says, and has lived in the county
virtually all his life. He served
throughout the Civil War without re-
ceiving scratch. He is able to walk
around the streets, not being given
to sitting in the chimney corner. He
weighs 210 pounds, his hearing is
good, as Is his sight and other senses.
He Is erect, standing or sitting, and
loves to joke.
During the time he has been eligible
to vote the following men have been
Presidents: James K. Polk, Zachary
Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin
Pierce, James Buchanan, Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S.

of Mckinley and the attempt at
wounding Of Roosevelt He has seen
good times and bad, panics and
booms, and heard the political SPELL
binders prophesying disaster or pros
perity according to the party they
represented.
Volstead never hurt him, Mr..
Leonard says-made no difference in
his life whatever. Liquor Is what is
running many young people, he be-
1ieves whisky didn't use to hurt
people" he said, but they don't
make it out of the same things now

Young people stay up too late at
night. he believes. why they stay
up until 10 and II o'clock. That's
what Is wrong with people today.

He doesn't think much of women
