PARTY LEADERS
MAKE HONESTY
A REAL ISSUE
BY FRASER EDWARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Aug. 10" Govern
mcnt" was made the real issue be
fore the country in the national cam
paign of 1924, which opened official
iv today with three tickets IN the
fight for the presidency.
Basing his appeal for support on
the Republican administration,
President Coolidge adopted ga com
mon sense government policy ON
which he hopes to succeed himself
10 the White House.
Honesty in government is the
charge that John w. Davis. Demo
cratic candidate, will hurl ut the
Republicans in an effort to win the
support of the voters.
"Givc the government back to
the people, is the battle cry of
Senator La Toilette with which he
expects to arouse the electorate and
bring victory to the independent
standard.
Party leaders are agreed that all
the other matters revolve around the
fundamental question of how the
government shall be conducted.
X. X. X. Issue Too
International issues have been
rclcgated to comparatively obscurd
place by the one big domestic is
sue presented from three distinct
viewpoints of the candidates.
Although the interests of labor
and agriculture depend in part up
on legislation, the principal ques-
tion laid before the voters is the
manner in which their affairs shall
be administered.
The question of government :
also enters into taxes and tariff is
sues. Coolidge's declaration on tax
es was accepted here as a re-endorse-
ment of the Mellon plan, while
Davis approved the Democratic tax
law. La Toilette demands an in
crease in surtaxes and restoration
of the excess profits taxes. Both
the Democratic and Independent
candidates denounce the present
tariff law and demand drastic re-
vision while Coolidge gives the law
his complete approval.
The Ku Klux Klan also offers an
issue which has bearing on the
policy of she government and
prohibition is distinctly matter of
administration.

shop where he ran amuck and shot
three persons.
Still unshaved and with his cloth
es disheveled, Mccoy was Il sorry
looking individual as he was led
to the waiting automobile.
A few hours lated he was return
cd to jail, but no announcement
was made ms to what had transpired
during the trip.
Mccoy was then permitted to he
shaved. After arranging his cloth
ing and freshening himself up,
MeCoy's haggard countenanee was
visiDly frightened.
Since his lawyers have ordered
Mccoy not to talk of tho ease, De
,tective Captain Herman Cline said
it possible he would not be taken to
the inquest over the body of Mrs
Mcrs, which was scheduled to be
hcld this afternoon.
1t is possible the inquest viii be
postponed until the county chemist
has made a report on whether or
not powder marks were found on
the skin tissue submitted to him for
onalvsis by Coroner Wagner.
Denounces Mccoy
If the inquest is held today Al
bert Mors, the husband, will prob
ably be the first witness. He will
be asked to identify the body of
his former wife. A dramatic scene
is expected when Mors visits the
mcrgue. He has bitterly denounced
Mccoy as his wife s slayer and said
he would like to pull the rope if
Mccoy is convicted of murder
Four other witnesses were sched-
ulcd to testify at the inquest. They
were Autopsy Surgeon Wagner, Po-
lice Detectives. Stoll and Balm, who
went to the death chamber in ans
wer to the report that Mrs. Mors
body had been found, and negro
porter who discovered the body.
Detective Cline said the case
against Mccoy was now complete
and all that remains is for the
grand jury to indict him on a charge
of murder. The grand Jury, ac-
cording to District Attorney keyes,
will take this action when it meets
next Tuesday.
Fearful lest Mccoy might attempt
to commit suicide, Keyes today ord
cred that he be kept under constant
guard.
The ex-pugilist is endeavoring to
keep himself in physical trim by
dany going through the exercises he
has practiced ever since his palrly
prize ring days. Despite his 81
years, Mccoy is still powerful man
physically. He is almost six feet
tall and weighs around 200 pounds.
