DAWES CONTESTS

YiCe-PreSidential Candidate At Jacks Proposed Court Change

Dawes Special, En Route Through Iowa, Mason City. Oct. S.--The re- publican fight against the LaFol- lette independent candidacy in Iowa was led today by the republican party's chief campaign speaker and vice presidential nominee. Charles G. Dawes, The direction of the fight was taken over by MT. Dawes late yesterday when he entered the state. made a rear platform speech at Narthwood and spoke to an audi ence that damned the Mason City armory last night.
 Leaving Mason City. the days itinerary took the republican vice presidential nominee through the section of the state in which the Lal'olette strength Is most feared by republican leaders, and provided for five Iowa speeches. The stops were listed for Fort Dodge, Storm Lake, Lemars, Cherokee and Sioux City After leaving the state late
 
 Norfolk. Nebraska. before swinging up into Wyo1hng for spec ches at Douglas and Casper,
 The subject selected for today's speeches by Mir. Dawes was The same as discussed in all his more recent addrcsses-the danger as he sees it to constitutional government from the LaFollette movement. That was the theme Of his address in the Mason City armory last night.
 MT. Dawes in his initial Iowa ad- dresses ignored the attacks by Iowas junior senator, Sr1ltE w. Brookhart, who demanded that MT: Dawes be removed from the repub- lcan ticket--a demand that among other things, led the republican state central committee to declare last week that the senator had rcpu- diated the republican party, A sin- gle and direct shot was fired at the senator by Mr. Dawes last night in his Mason City speech and it was loudly applauded. No reference, however, was made to MT. Brook hart by name.
 The Brookhart incident is only one of the unusual shifts in the po- litical winds now blowing in Iowa, as Mir. Dawes on arriving last night in Mason City was told that cour- tesies extended by the democratic state organization had made it pos sible to obtain the largest hall in the city for his use. Daniel F Steck, democratic candidate fol United States senator, had arranged for the use of the Mason City ar mory last night. but gave up hi: reservation in order that Mir. Dawes might speak there. Moreover, MT l Steck attended the Dawes meeting.
