FROM WASHINGTON

dent on Efforts to Under

q
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. October 30.-Charles
G. Dawes, Republican candidate for Vice
President. travelled across Missouri to-
day to St. Joseph to deliver tonight in
. the territory west of the Mississippi his
final attack on the La Toilette inde-
pendent candidacy.
Comparing the present campaign to a
boxing ma tch, Mr.. Dawes here last night
declared that Senator La Toilette, like
many people in a fight, had begun to
weaken in about the thirteenth round,
and added that when a man attempts
to explain in a fight it is an indication
that he realizes that he is beaten
He specifically referred to a recent
statement by Senator La Toilette ex-
planning that his candidacy's platform
plank for congressional veto OF Su-
preme Court decisions amounted only to
declara tions in favor of submitting such
a proposal to the American people in the
form of constitutional amendment,
which they might approve or reject.
Warning of Washington.
The admontion of Washington against
constitutional changes involving basic
principles was "a complete answer 10
the La Toilette statement" he contend
ed, and read Washington's warning in
his farewell address that "one method
of assault may be to effect. in the
forms of the Constitution, alterations
which will impair the energy of the
system and thus undermine what can
not be directly overthrown.
Nearly a dozen Republican lead
ars accompanied Mr.. Dawes on his
rip across the State, the nominees
ipecial train leaving here at mid
hight. No addresses were scheduled
Tor the journey from here to st.
Joseph.
Mr.. Dawes after his speech tonight
will return to Chicago to spend Fri

would save this serious annoyance.
But ushers who don't know their job
are worse than none at all. They can
break up a meeting quicker, by run
ming aimlessly around, than even the

for a successful meeting is an active
floor committee that takes full charge
of maintaining order. Especially this
committee should see to it that the

ing are as numerous as they are dis
astrous. The best chairman is he
who devotes himself to the technical
business of handling the meeting
from the platform. The less he says
to the meeting the better. Nothing
is more exasperating to a speaker or
more wearisome to crowd than to
have the chairman launch out con-
tinually into long speeches upon every
occasion. Especially criminal is that

periences with such loquacious chair
men during the campaign. They are
the bane of the speakers life. Once
proven guilty, by such an exhibition
Of garrulousness on the platform,
they should be sent into political ex-
lie. The same fate should be melted
out to those sinners who go upon the
platform without a gavel, without
thoroughly acquainting themselves
with the literature that is to be sold,
and the order in which the speakers
talk, or without making any other Of
the many necessary preparations for
properly handling a meeting. Such
incompetence is altogether inexcus-
able and should not be tolerated. An
experienced chairman is the life of
successful mass meeting We should
have more of them.
Build the Mass Meetings.
In the campaign it became quite evil
dent to me that our comrades were
not going to the masses effectively in
order to build up our mass meetings.
There was too much of tendency to
restrict our efforts just to our own
circle of members and immediate SYM
pathizers. This was a big mistake.
If our meetings were not up to ex-
pectation in certain places it was al
most entirely due to this fault. No
sooner would l take look at crowd
than could tell whether or not it
had been built up by real work among
the masses. The building Of Com
munist mass meeting requires gen.
uine effort. The announcement Of a
meeting should Immediately be fol-
lowed by widespread and systematic
