Gompers and Other Chiefs
Turn Eyes to La Toilette or
Republican Candidates
By WILLIAM HARD.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The big
gest question that comes out Of
this recent Democratic convention
here in New York and out Of It's
predecessors, the Republican
Cleveland convention and the La
Toilette Cleveland convention,
was supposed here today to be the
following:
Is there, or is there not, in the
United States, any such thing,
really, as a 'labor vote?"
Official organized labor in the
persons of its national official
representatives here in New York
today is outraged in it's deepest
feelings by this recent Democratic
convention.
Organized labor is dominantly
Democratic. The talk today here
in organized labor circles was Of
an outright bolt away from the
Democratic party. /
Vote Headed Two Ways.
Part Of this bolt is headed toward
La Toilette. Part of it is headed
even more resentfully all the way
over to Coolidge.
The state of mind among Labor

Even Samuel Gompers, a formerly
convinced Democrat, who remained
Democrat in 1920 in spite of the
so-called anti-labor activities of the
Democratic United States Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer, is to.
day scandalized and almost pros.
trated by the policies and actions
of the Democratic party here in
New York and is extremely unlike.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, July
1O.-Back in this little New Eng

Grouped about the coffin were
the six marines from the Presi-

Calvin had admired so much in
life, and who have watched over
him constantly since his tragic
death three days ago.
Present also were the great offic-

bereaved Presidents Cabinet and
behind them were the small and

final tribute to the son of their

in the land, and who had held a
