A curious angle Of this Supreme
Court controversy is the fact that
IL would make little or no difference
who happened to be In the White
House il Congress decided to pass
a constitutional amendment limiting
tho courts powers. If Congress
has the necessary tWo-thlras vote 10
pass Ia FoUettc's constitutional
amendment. It would also have the
same two-thirds to override a pres!
dental veto
This would not be the case, Of
course, If Congress decided TO pass
Ia law as Borah and number OF
other Republicans have urged
Their reason for prcferring this
method Is that it would be quicker.
Senator La Fonotte prefers the con
stitutlonal amendment because he
thinks 1t is moro sure.
Incidentally. it is interesting to
note that La Toilette VIII have more
authority and opportunity to deal
with this Supreme Court question
as Senator than he would have as
President. though his political enc
mics in the campaign do not seem to
think so. The reason is that n
President cannot inaugurate n con-
stituuonal amendment. except by
asking somebody else to do it for
him. while q member Of Congress
can do It and can be powerful in
urging fits passage
Tp1cr1HDb tho Cv1v,~ov,,a TsCt4~t
question was one OF the hold-over
problems left undone by the last
Congress. it is probable that 1t will
be taken up soon after Congress re-

POLITICIANS
Ways That Are Dark and
Tricks That Are Vain
in Campaign.

@ASHINGTON. oct. 30.-Bret
lIWl Harte was in error when he
/ G wrote THAT for ways that
are dark, and for tricks that are
vain, the heather Chinee is pecu-
liar"
He failed to take due cognizance
| of the arts and wiles Of campaign
fund contributors OF course. his
writings antedated the multimillion
Republican war chests Of today, as
revealed by the investigation of the
Borah Senate committee on cam
paign funds
For instance. Samuel Vauclain,
multimilli51aire locomotive manu-
facturer and bank director, testified
he had given only 5000 to the Re
/ publican campaign fund.
After severe discrimination, he
admitted he had given SO. 000 ad
dluonal to the American Economic
Institute.
To Protect Railroads
He did rot know. he said, what
/ this money was 70 be used for ex-
lcept to protect the railroads" Just
/ how ii was to be spent was mat
ter Of no concern to him. He said
/ he had given The money 10 President
/ Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pa
/ cifc Railroad and felt confident it
would be used properly
When informed that the American
| Economic Institute is at present
bending all it's efforts toward the de
feat Of La Toilette and Wheeler
| Vauclain expressed approval OF such
use being made Of the money he
/ had given the organization.
That automatically increased his
/ campaign contribution from the
| 5000 he officially reported to SIG
! 100. the greater portion Of which
amount he admitted only after he
was driven into a corner by Frank
/ p. Walsh. Senator La FOllette's at
torney.
Other dark" means by which
campaign funds may be kept out Of
the official record have also come
TO light at the Borah meetings.
| Hired an Audience
T. V. O'Connor. chairman Of the
United States Shipping Board. ad-
mltted that he had paid hotel and
taxicab bills for a hired audience to
/ listen to President Coolidge on Labor
day. He admitted that his purpose
! in bringing the pseudo labor leaders
/ to Washington was to influence labor
votes in favor of the Republican
/ ticket. Yet his expenditure has not
made it's appearance in the Repub-
lican campaign fund records.
! Three methods Of hiding campaign
contributions have been discovered
during the Borah committee s
| sessions:
]. Indirect contributions through
| organizations such as the American
Economic Institute. which, while
ostensibly engaged in non-partisan
research, actually spends its entire
! funds in partisan activities.
! 2. Expenditure Of money for n
particular campaign stunt, thus
| keeping all records Of the cost off
the official accounts. O'Connor's
payment of the labor leaders bills,
for instance, will never appear on
| the books Of the Republican national
committee.
! 3. Personal expenditure of funds
for newspaper and other advertising.
| z. L. DOheny for instance, admits
that in 1920 he spent $25,000 buy
ing newspaper space in the interest
Of the Harding campaign. No men
ton of Doheny appeared in the Of
fetal records filed by the G: o. P.

UP CONVENTION
FOR LAFOLLETTE
After Boosting Couzens,
Coolidge Supporter

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 16. - The
convention of the International Asso-
citation Of Machinists which was open
ed yesterday by the republican party
politician, Dennis E. Bait, until recent
ly member of the executive committee
of the proletarian party, today went
on record for LaFollette and Wheeler
in the national election.
Yesterday, the so-called "friend of
labor" Judge Jeffries, was introduced
by the renegade Bait, and the conven-
ton listened to the republican sena-
tor, Couzens, once partner of Henry
Ford, and now a staunch supporter of
Coolidge. How these takers can blow
hot and cold at the same time is
marvel.
The convention voted down Labor
Party resolution and endorsed LaFol-
lette.
President metal trades department,
James O'Connell, in his speech this
morning, stated labor organizations
are becoming great financial institu-
tions and corporations, labor leaders
in the past dealt with strikers only.
They must now understand finances.
He doubted that labor would elect La
Toilette, but hoped that this election
would create great movement
Emme Fights Bankruptcy.
Delegate Emme, of st. Paul, refus-
ed to accept this declaration of bank
ruptcy on part of labor leaders. He
warned delegates that this bubble
would burst after November election.
He refused to accept State of Wiscon-
sin as Mecca Of organized labor.
Delegates Otis of Pittsburgh and
Garner of Hammond also spoke
against endorsement of LaFollette.
Johnston stated he wanted no third
party but first party. He also stated
LaFollette and he were pledged for
labor party after election but later
modified statement.
The resolution on labor party was
defended by Delegate Slavens, Rhode
Island, who warned delegation against
same old policy. He cited experience
from so-called labor friends in Lud-
low massacre.
The resolution on amalgamation
was read. Report of committee takes
place tomorrow morning. A lively
discussion expected, Johnson stated.
When vote was taken postponing dis
cussion until tomorrow, delegates
went sightseeing to Ford factory.
