The Reverend Jason Noble Pierce.
pastor Of the First Congregational
Church. where President Coolidge
attended, today made the following
statement:
"The fight young Calvin made
for his lie was helped by clean
living. Always obedient to his
parents, he led q life that gave him
the necessary resisting power. His
death makes all of us realize that
we are living in world of law.
His death makes us realize that
sorrow comes to the highest az
well as to the lowest. Undoubtedly
his father would have given up the
Presidency q thousand times II It
would have saved his boy.

Governor Smiths increase in the

"McAdoo's attitude in refusing to

greatly against him. The American
people admire a man who IL sports

who would rather be nominated as

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July b.
Done with its most important
task, endorsement Of Senator Rob
ert M. La Toilette (Rep.) Of Wis
consin, for the Presidency, the
Socialist party convention devoted
It's final sessions today to perfect
ing plans for launching imnedi-
ately . nationwide campaign In
the national and State elections
this November.
With the exception Of Presi-
Dental and Vice Presidential
candidates, the party decided to
place independent Socialist tickets
In the field all over the country.
Bitter Fight ON La Toilette.
For the first time, the party IN
pledging support to La Toilette has
4 Presidential candidate not Of itS
own political allegiance. The bitter
fight to endorse La Toilette, rather
than choose its own candidates, car
lied IN the convention because the
leaders assured the delegates that
only by uniting with the La Fol-
lette forces this year can the, So
cialists hope to make any headway
ct the polls"
Delegates who wavered over the
question were brought into line
when, from his sick bed, Eugene v.
Debs, many times Presidential can.
0idate Of the party, and its idol,
sent word that the proper thing %
do politically was to throw full
strength behind La Follette's drive
for the White House.
The convention also instructed It's
representatives who will confer on
the La Toilette candidacy with the
national committee OF the Confer.
erce for Progressive Political Action
tc fight for the formation of q new
labor party at the convention which
the conference called for next Jan.
I1ary convenes. Socialists want the
new party to be modelled on identi-
cal lines with the British Labor
party.
Favor Berry On Ticket.
Major George L. Berry, head Of
the Pressnen's Union. and a can.
I. didate for the Democratic Vice
Presidential nomination replaced
Huston Thompson. chairman OF the
Federal Trade Commission, as the
conventions favorite az !. running
mate for La Toilette. Berry's
name regardless Of whether he is
nominated at New York, will be
advanced by Socialist leaders when
La Toilette meets progressive groups
on July IS In Washington to pick
o candidate to make the race with
him.
'If La Toilette is wise. he will
take Berry said Judge Jacob
Panken, Of New York. Berry will
bring the American Federation Of
Labor into line with US. Even
though he should be nominated by
the Democrats, I think 1t would
still be wise move for La Toilette
60 endorse him.
A rallying call was sent nation
wide by the convention today for
Socialists and progressives every.
where to join the LaFolletts cam
paign. It was In the form Of an
address to Socialists" drafted by
q committee, headed by James
O'Neil, OF New York.
Representatives Of the party were
instructed to confer with La Toilette

Dental selection, offering formally
ut the same time ''the whole heart.
cd support Of the million Socialist
voters Of the country"
Reports Of routine convention

party's constitution proved the
chief business at the closing ses-
oions.

New York is not to blame for
the hoodlunfS and rowdyisn. Every
big city breeds these types and
they are camp followers at every

gutter and usually return from
whence they came. I have talked
to lnarv decent and respectable
New Workers. and they deplore all
this.
After all most New Yorkers came
originally from some wide place
in the road or towns where trains
stop only on signal. The people
from out Of town are their kind Of
folks. They would no more coun.

they would rudeness to members
