 MT. Jefferis outlined General Dawes career and said:
 ''It was no wonder General Dawes, that the republican convention called you again to duty and service of your country. The delegates had faith that you would counsel and help the Presi- dent with a courageous spirit, similar to that which guided the beloved Hard ing; akin to that Cf the immortal Roosevelt; like unto that of the martyred Lincoln; equal to that which you have always shown in the execu- ton of your great trusts"

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 1-0.- Mrs. J. T, Lamar, custodian of the first White House of the Confectionery, has returned from a visit to relatives at Cleveland, O., bringing back the con- viction that John w. Davis will be the next president of the United States.
 Mrs. Lamar states that she was im- pressed while in Cleveland with the evident strength possessed there by Senator La Toilette, who apparently will receive a very considerable vote in the Ohio city.
 An interesting point noted by Mrs. Lamar in connection : with political sentiment in Cleveland was the effect of La, Follette's declaration of hostility to the klan.
 This resulted in . perceptible change of sentiment against the Wisconsin senator, whose cause appeared to be adversely affected rather than benefit ted by his anti-klan statement.
 Ginning of cotton produced at the Kilby prison farm of the state began today.

Denies Davis Claim That Republicans Have Done
 Nothing Abroad
(By Associated Press.)


 CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Allied- German acceptance of the Dawes plan was de- clared by Senator Watson of Indiana in an address today before the Hamil- ton club of Chicago, to be the republic ans party's answer to the injury of John w. Davis, democratic presidential nominee, as to what single contribution the present republican administration had made to the peace of the world.
 "The arms conference and the Dawes plan represent the two longest steps ever taken for the justification of the world and the United States under Q republic an administration took both of them without belonging to the League of Ma tions or being in any way entangled in it's political involvments," Senator Wat. son asserted. "In very truth, if we had belonged, we no longer could have oc- cupied the impartial position of umpire and could not have well exerted the powerful and conclusive influence that we did"
 Praises Dawes

EVANSTON, H., Ang. 10.-The campaign of 1924 was declared to be a clash between the republican, demo- cratic and socialist parties by Albert w. Jefferis of Omaha, in his speech of notification to General Charles G. Dawes, republican vice presidential nominee.
 Straight thinking democrats" he said, "are deciding it impossible for them to ride at the same time two horses going in opposite directions" 1"
 La Toilette, he asserted, "eloped with the socialist party
 'These recent happenings and ap- parent impossibilities are clearing the political atmosphere" he added, with a prediction that voters would 'cleave unto that which is good"
 In a tribute to President Coolidge, Mir. Jefferis said: 'aThe people now

 In the matter of our foreign policy, therefore,. the two major parties, in their platforms, have made an issue to be decided by the American people.
 The democratic party asks them to turn back with them into the morass of the debate on the League of Nations, through a public referendum, thereby paralyzing the hope of constructive ac- ton and policy in this time of an ex- isting world crisis.
 The republican party asks them to abandon the debate upon the question of the League of Nations, which they have already decided, and to stand by the common sense and constructive foreign policy of President Coolidge and the republican party which is placing the United States in that proud position of world leadership for which she has been designed by Providence and from which she can be debarred only by reversion to political expediency.

 t"Afraid' To Act
 "The truth is,' he added, "that our democratic friends. being alarmed at the majority given against the league four years ago, were afraid to embody in their platform mere unequivocal de- mand that we join that organization and yet, on the other hand, did not have quite courage enough to throw it out altogether, because of what they said and did four years ago and further be- cause of the influence of Woodrow Will sons friends in the New York conven- ton and in the party"

Grey got angrily to his feet, rage
and shame flushing his face, and it
needed Ferguson and the duke to re-
store him to some Semblance of calm.
indeed 1t may Wen be that 1T was to
complete this that his grace decided
there and then that they should fol-
low Grey's advice and go by way
of Taunton, Bridgwater and Bristol
to Gloucester. He was, like all weak
men, of conspicuous mental short
sightedness. The matter Of the mo-
ment was Of greater Importance to
him than any result that might at
tend it in the future.
He insisted that Wild!ng and Grey
should shake hands before the
breaking up of that most astounding
council and, as he had done last
night, he now again imposed upon
them his commands that they must
not allow this matter TO go further.
Mr.. Wilding paved the way for
peace by making an apology within
limitations.

Mr.. Wilding left Monmouth's army
al Lyme on Sunday, the 14th of June,
and rejoined il at Bridgwater exactly
three weeks later.
In the meanwhile good deal had
happened, yet the happenings on
every hand had fallen far short of
the expectations aroused in Mr..
Wilding's mind, now by one circum-
stance, now by another. In reaching
London he had experienced no diff

But rude were the disappointment:

like the rest of the country, was not

Wilding lodged at Covent Garden
in a house recommended to him by
Col. Danvers and there--an OUTLAW

will into his task. He heard OF the
burning of Monmouth's declaration
by the common hangman at the royal
exchange, and Of the bill passed by
the Commons to make it treason for

married to the late king. He at

reason to suppose that men would
flock to him if he raised the dukes

Later, when the excitement grew
and rumors ran through town that
Monmouth had now u following of
10000 men and that the kings forces
were falling back before him, and
discomfort was rife at the commits
sioning of Catholic lords to levy
troops, Wilding again pressed the
matter upon DanVers. Surely no mo-
ment could be more propitious. But
again he received the same answer
that DanVers had lacked time to or
ganize matters sufficiently; that the
dukes coming had taken him by sur
prise.
