La Toilette Is Handicapped In Race for Presidency
 By Weight of 69 Years

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-John w., Davis, age 51; President Coolidge, age 52; Senator La Toilette, age 69.
 These statistics will figure in the National campaign as an argument all by themselves. Do the American people want a man in the White House who is physically able to cope with the almost superhuman tasks of the presidency or do they wish to take a chance on man already in senile .decrepitude?
 These are the questions being ask ed by the opponents of Robert La Toilette, progressive candidate for the presidency. As the campaign is unfolded it becomes apparent that the definitions of radicalism, progress siveism, conservatism, and all that they connote will provide sufficient controversy for those who take the trouble to analyze the issues minute ly, but with a vast number of voters the personality and individual ability of a candidate is a controlling fac tor.
 To them the question of a candi- dates age will be propounded.
 Senator LaFollette was born on June II, 1855, and if he were inau- gurated president next March he would be within three months of 70 years. At the expiration of his first term he would be 74 years Of age. No man has ever been elected to the presidency at such an advanced age William Henry Harrison was 6S when inaugurated and served ono month; Zacchary Taylor was GA and died aft CT a year in office.
 President Roosevelt was 42 years of age when he took office Wood row Wilson was 56 years of age and broke down at 63. President Hard ing was 55 when inaugurated and did not live out his term
