The supporters OF Calvin Coolidge
In this state are not seeking control
OF South Dakota. They are not after
the flesh pots" ActuateG only for
the common good they are supporting
Calvin Coolidge for the reason that
they believe that he represents the
best thought OF the world today; that
under his leadership the nation will
be wisely led to higher and better
things. They have no state machine
at their back, no patronage at their
disposal. From a wholly disinterest-
ed personal standpoint they are en-
deavoring In a ane and sensible way

Granting 20 opponents the inherent
right to think and to act politically.

selves, and without fear of politi-
clans, Office holders and satellites Of
the administration now controlling
South Dakota, they are confident Of
Others may indulge in false
hood and In deceit; others may resor
to political trickery IL they choose,
but the candidate of the republican
majority in this state for president
demands OF his supporters that they
deal Justly. speak honestly and use
no unfair methods in his behalf. II
South Dakota cannot be carried for
Coolidge on this basis, others may
have the vote Of this state in the
Cleveland convention. But the state
is sure to go for Coolidge. He IL leg

the time. Norbeck can not turn the
tide against him; Royal Johnson can
not stampede the voters. The people
are determined to give Coolidge their
vote. II is not a question OF a ma

shall be.

This Is a Spanish word, pronounced
"Manyana," languidly and leisurely,
and is the most important day in a
lazy mans life.
Manana means tomorrow.
1t Is the watchword Of the weary,
the slogan Of the slumberer.
Manana serves the sluggard instead
OF pep. II takes the place OF the
get up and git Of the hustler.
II Is the day when the ne'er-do-well
gets a job and the miser sends his
wife to Palm Beach.
1t is the day when the little boy
wipes his feet before coming into the
house and the little girls ask to wipe
the dishes.

DEPORTED TO q. S. AS SPY.
SUSPECT Left Home at Age Of 10 to
Join Canadian Army.

London, March 5.-Ralph Thurber,
prisoner in Pentonville Jail who has
confessed to implication in the wan
street bomb explosion of 1920, recent
" came to England in defiance OF a
deportation order sending him to
America, says the Daily Sketch. The
paper adds that the only explanation
of his motive for returning here is his
own statement that he came to recov-
err a debt of Flo. He is said to
have Travelled by way of Paris and
Antwerp, landing in England at Har-
witch.
Thurber Is declared to have left his
home in the United States when 10
years Of age to join the Canadian
army. 1t was apparently while serv-
ing with the Canadian forces in France
that he got into trouble under circum'
stances causing suspicion that he was
acting as a spy and resulting In his
deportation. -,
Thurber. who is about % years old
is described as a desperate character,
He is under heavy guard In the Pen
touyille Jail and will continue to be
closely watched until extradition pro-
ceedings are completed and New York
detectives arrive to take him back to
America.
No Americans have seen Thurber

LYNCH DAVIDSON
SENDS PLATFORM TO
FARM-LABOR PARTY
Refuses to Make Promises
in Order to Further
Election Chances.

Dallas, Tex, March 5. Lynch
Davidson, candidate for governor, told
the Farm-Labor conference through a
letter to its secretary, George II.
Slater, yesterday that the reason he
had not answered a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by that organization is because it
has become a practice among candi-
dates for office to pander and make
promises to these numerous groups and
associations (which have become an
epidemic" organized "for political pur-
poses" and undertaking to assert
political influence"
Davidson's letter to Slater was &C.
casioned by the statement made before
the Farm Labor conference yesterday
that the candidate had not answered
the QUESTIONABLE and therefore that
his candidacy before nat organization
should be listed as unfavorable."
1T has become a practice among
candidates for office to pander and
make promises to these numerous
groups and associations" wrote Mr..
Davidson. such pandering and prom
ising should in itself stamp the candi-
date as unfit and unworthy of office.
No legislative or administrative offer
who, for the sake of election, makes
election promises TO these different in
terests can carry out all such promises
without wrecking the state.
Groups and blocs, organized for
political purposes and undertaking to
assert political influence are generally
self-seeking and self-serving, said the
former lieutenant governor.
1T is the broader view that what
ever is for betterment of all improves
and betters the condition of each and
every one. If such political organiza-
tons endorse the platform and princi-
pies of a candidate and thereby contri-
butte to its fulfillment, greater good
may be accomplished. II, on the other
hand, candidates are required to an
swer and adopt the principles and
platforms of various self-serving politi-
cal groups and bodies, the candidate
finds himself without principles or
policies and the plaything of mannikin
of these many conflicting self-serving
political organizations. 1t is for these
reasons i have made no commitments
or promises to any political organiza-
tlons, bloc or special interest of any
kind.
1T is or these reasons that I send
you my platform, the same platform
involving the same promises. the same
covenants made by me TO all the peo-
pie of Texas. May i again repeat
that not answering your QUESTIONABLE
implied no discourtesy. / owe and ex-
tend TO every citizen Of Texas the same
courtesy, the courtesy Of stating my
position on all questions of govern
ment, all of which are embodied in my
attached address,,

Addresses Of Two Men He
duplicates Cannot Be

New York March 5.-Whatever
hopes the New York police had OF
solving the mystery of the famous
Wall street explosion through the
reported confession Of Ralph Thurber,
vanished today when the police were
advised that Thurber was in San
Quentin p enitentiary, California
when the explosion occurred.
Thurber's story, made known TO
District Attorney Banton through
telegram from Secretary OF State
Hughes to Governor Smith, was seri-
ously questioned by detectives after
they had failed to find the addresses
of two men whom Thurber,. in an
affidavit in a London prison, had I'M
plicated in the explosion.
Reports from other cities, the po-
lice said, indicated that other de-
tails in the confession were value
less.
Thurber, advices say. was sentences
to San Quentin in February, l92O,
for a three-year term.
He was released two years iater.
The Wall street explosion, which
killed 80 persons and injured scores,
occurred on September 16. 192O.

URGE A SOCIALIST

Special Cable to the San Antonio Light

Copyright. 1924.
Warsaw, Poland. March o.-Will
the Polish government yield to the
pressure Of the, Socialists and the
Jewish party and send Joseph Ret
finger, the Socialist agitator, to Lon
don, either to replace the present min
lister. Constantine Skirmunt, or as a
special envoy accredited to the Labor
government?
This question promises to develop
into a national issue involving grave
consequences to the present govern
ment. The parties which want to
see Rettinger appointed as Poland's
representative Mt the "court of Mac
donald" declare that it is necessary
for this country to meet the situation
created by the Labor Party's Access
sion to power in Great Britain, and
to arrange for close cooperation with
the new rulers in Downing street.
Skirmunt, although admittedly one
of tie finest statesmen in Poland,
is incapable of dealing with the Labor
government according to the Social
lists here, who claim that Rettinger
has had n wide enough experience TO
cope with the job. The correspondent
has learned from a good authority that
Rettinger was expelled from France
in 1919 and from the United States
in 1921 as n radical agitator.
IT is said here that the British
Laborites favor the appointment of
Rettinger as minister.

are not for the red army, but are ex-
clusively for economic reconstruc-
