Adding the electoral vote of these

tinnS of today. OF the AZ State dele

Other Differences Cited.
Il make no reference" says Senator
Jones. ito the Republican differences
III California, Iowa and Illinois, for
desire only to make reference to ex-
listing conditions and not prophecies.
What has happened in the last two
years which would aid the Democrats
to win again in these states. or what
has happened to hinder them What
has happened that would give the
Republicans cause to fear or to hope
for success in these same states?
The Democrats insist today their
cause has been aided through the
revelations of corruption during the
Republican administration brought
out in the congressional investiga-
lions Of the last few months They
say. too. that the cost of living con-
tinues high under the Republican ad-
ministration.
&. o. =. Pins Hope to Leader.
Taking the reverse view Of the sit
uatIon, the Republicans are banking
TO the limit on the popularity Of the
leader, President Coolidge. They are
banking on the cuts made in Federal
taxes and economy in Government
They are banking on the recent ap-
parent success of the Dawes plan for
settlement Of the European snarl
over German Preparations, and the
votes which may be won among the
German American voters-to use the
much criticized hyphenated designa-
tion-and finally they are banking
on the dissentions which arose among
the Democrats at their national con-
vention in New York, dissentions
which cut deeply.
Senator Jones elaborated the Dem
ocratic point of view, as follows:
See No Trend to G. O. p.
From my point of view, 1 cannot
see wherein anything has happened
from the Republican standpoint to
a of tafa .hap
their opinions as to the form of polit-
ical administration or State repre-
sentation they desire. Surely the
carnival of corruption as referred
to by Senator Pat Harrison and Sena-
tor Thomas J. Walsh, in their con-
vention speeches, would hardly win
any votes for the Republican admin
istration. or their failure to lower
the cost of living win one who voted
for Democrat change.
The highest tariff heretofore
known surely cannot be influencing
those of independent thought to vote
for Republicans. The failure to pass
remedial legislation for the farmer
and the veto of beneficial legislation
for the soldier, postal clerk, and vet
'eran, will not. in my opinion, make
Republican votes. The spineless and
vacillating foreign policy of the ad-
ministration has won no admiration,
and the leaderless. do-nothing Con-
gress Of the Republican regime, has
failed TO win the confidence of indie
pendents or wean a vote from the
Democratic viewpoint"
Campaign Warns Up.
The campaign is at last taking on
more positive colors. Gen. Charles
G. Dawes, in his speech of acceptance
last night, hit out two ways, seeking
to pin a red flag on Senator La Fol-
lette and a League of Nations ban
ner on John w. Davis. Senator La
Toilette, on the other hand, insists
that the ticket he heads is the real
progressive and at the same time
ticket and is not as radi-
cal as-has been painted.
Mr.. Davis. of the three candidates
for President, is making the earliest
active, personal campaign. He be-
gins this week in New Jersey, his
speaking and will continue in many
other States, practically until cleo
