Coolidge and Davis

And the Khan and Triplets.

Coolidge in Labor Day White House talk
with 200 labor union leaders, emphasized various points that
he thought workmen would do well to remember
Wages SO per cent higher than they before the

The President is still thinking about the good old Mckinley

thinking about the SEVEN car instead of the
small car and that's good thing for the country About all
the real money in this nation spent by those that work for
it, not by the little handful that ge it, What 1.-THE mil
Honaires' have is drop in the bucket.
Mr.. Davis, in his Labor Day speech, at
tackled control of labor by injunction earnestly and evidently
sincerely denounced child labor attacked the railway law
and declared that COAL OIL railroad and banking interests
"fatten the public Mr.. Davis is making new start
for COAL OIL railroads and banking interests have been his
chief clients.
Mr. Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Ku
Kux Kar says that Kanmen may safely vote for Coolidge
or Davis The will suit La Toilette since many
ANTI Klansmen will automatically go to the La Toilette
party.
Bear in mind that New York City, which has never given
any third party in national politics serious attention will give
La Toilette gigantic vote.

length of any one of these chords

The length Of the chord is equal

McAdoo and the Oil Mess

THE relations of VIM. G. McAdoo and Edward l.. Do
1 heny MS lawyer and client developed by the senate
committee public lands which is investigating the naval
oil reserve leases have two aspects.
One has to do with McAdoo as private citizen and
LAWYER the other has TO do with McAdoo MS the leading
candidate for the democratic nomination for president
Doheny retained McAdoo's law firm and later MeAdoo
personally TO represent him in certain negotiations with
the Mexican government and as legal counsellor.
The employment seems to been proper one.
AIcAdoo says it was and the senate committee has
brought out nothing to indicate the contrary.
No connection between McAdoo and the naval oil re-
serve leases has been charged No faint of the naval
oil lease scandal attaches to McAdoo nor, considering
the size of Doheny's stake in Mexico was the amount
of the fee unusual
McAdoo says that his argument in Mexico was exactly
the principle in behalf of Doheny that three admlnstra
tons those Of Wilson, Harding and Coolidge have urged
in behalf of all American property holders in Mexico
AcAdoo says he saw or knew Doheny until after
he had left the Wilson cabinet.
Thus the matter to sum up relatively small so
Tar rs McAdoo the lawyer is concerned.
AS to the aspect of this matter ii relates to NcAdoo
as candidate for the presidential nomination. that is
an entirely different thing.
McAdoo's connection with Doheny, in perfectly
legitimate way has furnished ammunition for his OPP
ponents both in the democratic and republican parties
Fair unfair that is how the political game is played
McAdoo is in the position of having TO explain and,
however satisfactory the explanation has BEEN that IS
unfortunate position for candidate for the presidency
Then, ALSO there is the undoubted fact that the people
have become increasingly resentful of having public
take employment with great corporations doing business
with the government Immediately or soon after leaving
office, however legitimate that employment may be
AS the situation stands at the moment. McAdoo is not
in strong position politically as he was before his
name linked publicly with that OF Doheny.
From the standpoint of those who believe IN McAdoo
both as and public official this is unfortunate
