Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-07-18


ington is getting back to normal
again and is preparing to take its
usual important part in the preslden-
tial campaign. At least two of the
candidates-Coolidge and La Toilette
will pass most of their time in the
capital, resorting to the radio to carry
their pleas and views to the voters.
President Coolidge had planned to
start off his campaign with a radio
speech on tax reduction, but the Dem
ocratic National Convention was on
the air, so he had to content himself
with giving the speech to thousand
officials and bureau chiefs who make
up the business organization of the
government. Plans have been made,
however, for broadcasting his address
on July "a, in which he will formally
accept the presidential nomination.
1t is also expected that similar plans
for letting the public in on the pro-
ceedings will be made for the Dawes
notification ceremonies at Evanston,
H., on July goth.
His advanced years have compelled
Il
ments for using the radio for many
of his speeches. His managers want
him to make a number of personal
appearances in the ten or so states IN
the west and northwest which he has
a chance to carry, and he may decide
to make a swing into this territory.
Some third party talk cropped out
here during the convention of the Ma
tional Education Association, which
brought about 10000 visitors to
Washington. Addressing the conven-
ton, DR.. William c. Bagley of Co
lumbia University condemned both
the Republican and Democratic
parties for not giving adequate con-
sideration" to education in their plat
forms and urged the support of some
one who would recognize the business
of the educator. The educational
plank in the Republican platform
promises new federal department of
education between dictation of educa-
tional policies to the states and the
extension of aid by the federal gov
ernment Bagley failed to make clear
lust what the teachers wanted.
Senator Borah has served notice on
all the political parties that their
campaign funds this year are going
to undergo his closest scrutiny. Both
the Republican and Democratic Ma
tional Committees have been asked to
report how much money they had to
start with and to keep on reporting
throughout the campaign where their
funds are coming from. At later
date, the Borah committee, which was
authorized by the Senate to- investl-
gate campaign expenditures, will
meet in Chicago to inquire into any
violations of the corrupt practices act,
should charges be made against any
candidate or political organization.
Sixty American counsular officials
are looking for jobs as result of the
REORGANIZATION of the new United
States Foreign Service by Secretary
of State Hughes. Some of these were
retired because they had reached the
age limit of IS years, but others were
dropped for the good of the service.
In addition to these changes the whole
consular and diplomatic service has
been re-organized with a view to at
tanning greater efficiency in carrying
on the business of the government in
foreign countries.
Here's chace to make some
money. All you have to do is to cap
ture a mail robber. The Postoffice
Department, because of recent at
tacks on postal officials, is offering
rewards ranging from $50 to $4,000
to anyone who brings in mail band
it. The joker is that the rewards are
offered contingent upon the appro-
priation of the funds of Congress at
the next session.
Every Newark man is boss of his
own home-when his family is away.
