Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-09-26

New York-The Modern Republi-
can Club of the First and Second As
sembly Districts, New York, with
membership of 500, has declared for
La Toilette and Wheeler. The club
is composed largely of Italian busi
ness and professional men.
Pittsburgh-At the fifth Sunday
meeting Of the B. Of L. E. of the lines
east of Pittsburgh and Erie, held
August 81, resolutions were adopted
unanimously indorsing La Toilette
and Wheeler and steps taken to as
sist in the campaign.
Kansas City, Mo.-Peter Witt, who
spoke here Labor Day, said that Ohio
was certain to go for La Toilette.
"There is no doubt of it," said he,
land in Cleveland he will receive an
overwhelming majority" From this
it can be seen that those who imagine
that La Toilette has no strength east
of Illinois are badly mistaken.
San Meteo, Cal-La Toilette is
gaining votes in California every day.
1t may be little early to predict the
November result, but straw votes
show which way the political wind is
blowing. In San Mateo the News
Leader, a Coolidge newspaper, pub
lished its first returns as follows:
La Toilette, 116; Coolidge, so; Davis,
Is.
Chicago-A straw vote Of masters
and men in the building in which The
Federated Press has its central office
gives $50 of the hundred or more
votes cast to La Toilette and 40 to
William z. Foster, Workers party
candidate. Davis got 2%6 and Cool
idge go.
Observation-Disclosures mass
meeting called by the La Toilette club
in Typographical temple here, Chas.
H. Lyman, former secretary Of the
National Board of Farm Organiza-
tions, reminded his hearers that
Woodrow Wilson said in 1912, "The
trusts are our masters now" He
added that La Toilette can say in
1924, "The trusts are our masters
yet" Farmers are for the Wisconsin
senator for president, Lyman assert
ed, because they see in him the fore
most fighter against private monop-
oily, which was back of the deflation
plot of 1920.

much to awaken an interest in music as

knowledge of and appreciation for the
best works Of the great masters. Their
