Weeks At WAR
ON ARMY WITH
CONGRESS
Favors Swear Enlistments
Against Shorter Term-Asks
for Review Under Law.

Secretary Of War Weeks is at log
gerheads with Congress over the
length of the enlistment period in
the army, it was learned here today.
Supported by an opinion OF the
Judge advocate general of the army,
Weeks insists that recruits should
not be accepted for less than three
years, while members Of the House
Military Affairs Committee believe
that the enlistment period should be
one year so that the increased turn
over would afford military training
to larger number Of men.
The Judge advocate general bases
his legal opinion on a provision In
the national defense act, and IN
view Of the disagreement that has
arisen, Weeks has asked for a re-
view Of the opinion.

AN OPEN LETTER
4 tn tho Tram YOrRG
To the Congressman from NeqO York CITY
and Northern NeqO Jersey, and
GENTLEMEN:

An open and unconstrained poll of the
members of our New York organization
diScloses 167 men and women of voting age
who hope for the adoption of the Mellon
Tax Reduction Plan, and none opposed.
Of this 167 all but three state an un-
qualified willingness to have an advertise
ment published setting forth their opinions
on the Mellon plan. We have taken the
liberty of overriding the three votes not
approving the advertisement because these
people did not object to the publication
of their opinions, but merely questioned the
practical value of such an action.
Our people are average income-tax paying
folks Practically all of them pay some tax.
These taxes are not seriously involved in the
disputed higher surtax areas.
These facts are presented for what interest
they may have and for what consideration
you care to give them.

Neither Farmers nor Laborers have
much to gain by voting the third
party ticket, except the satisfaction it
brings them through defeating candi-
dates on other party tickets.
II will be a source of satisfaction
to many farmers who have received
very little courtesy from the United
States Republican congress, to see
many of the senators and represIt TIA
tiyes returned to private life. They
will be satisfied even if they are not
aided by the election of congress
who is in sympathy with their needs.
The same is true of many Union
Labor men who would be glad to see
third party poll sufficiently large
vote to defeat the Republican candi-
date for the vice presidency.
1t is discomfort with administration
of public affairs that breeds third
party movement such as Was inaugu-
rated in st. Paul recently with the
nomination Of Duncan Mcdonald to
head the ticket.
Mcdonald is well known in only a
few safes. In Illinois he became
known to the lab5ring vote through
his prominence as state Federation
President and as head of the Illinois
District Of the United Mine workers,
but he is scarcely known to farmers
either in this state or in other states
of the union. This will indicate the
hopelessness of the campaign. What
ever be the principles underlying a
party movement it is necessary to-
have an outstanding leader to head
a presidential ticket or the masses
will not vote for him.
This will be l.aFollette's strength
He has been known to the American
public for twenty-five years as a /
strong factor in the government. He
has tremendous hold on the vote of |
his own state as indicated in the con |

Coolidge where the Wisconsin dele.

by the determination Of Republican
leaders to make the vote for Coolidge

figure in the west and will make a
hole deep enough in the Republican
ranks to cause them unreasonable
worry. Should he make a similar
hole in the Democratic ranks it is
easy to predict his election.
