the American method of cooperating.
The end Of the war has come at last
and the beginning Of an honorable
and, we hope, lasting peace is at
hand"
John w. Davis, Democratic nominee
for the Presidency, declared that the
article in the plan providing for arbi-
tration by the League Of Nations in
case of dispute as to the index figure
of German wealth was but another
evidence Of the growing Indispensable.
ity Of the league.
T asst week was the week of the
IL vice presidential candidates. Both
Governor Bryan and General Dawes
were formally notified of their nom
nation, the Democrats getting in first
as in the case Of the heads Of the
tickets. Bryan in his acceptance
speech at Lincoln, Neb., praised his
party's platform as broad, strong and
progressive enough to justify the sup
port Of those who believe In equality
before the law" He touched on many
questions but paid especial attention
to agriculture, accusing the Republic
an party Of having changed the farm
ers' condition from prosperity to adj
versity. He promised the farmer
reduction Of tariff rates to enable him
ito buy in competitive market at
home and remove the restrictions
which have injuriously affected the
foreign market in which he sells his
surplus products"
Without specifically mentioning De-
Tense day, he took whack at it by
deploring war propaganda, mobiliza-
ton. demonstrations Of civilian and
industrial resources as a "great eco
nomic waste, misleading and unneces-
sarily inflammatory."
~ ENERAL DAWES, in the pres
" ence Of an immense throng at his
home in Evanston, ILL.,, declared that
this campaign is campaign Of domes-
tic issues, and after discussing the
League of Nations and the world
court he entered on a fiery discussion
of what he, declared to be the most
important Of the domestic questions
"the formidable attack which has been
launched on the fundamental princi-
Piles of our Constitution" This, of
course, meant LaFollette, his candi-
dacy and his aims, and the speaker
did not mince words in denouncing
the Wisconsin senator.
Robert NJ. LaFollette," he said,
leading the army Of extreme radi-
calls, has a platform demanding pub
lie ownership Of railroads and attack
ing our courts which are fundamen-
tai and constitutional safeguard of
American liberties.
"Our nation Is asked to leave impor-
tant constitutional mornings to en-
bark again into those contests through
which 1t has fought up to, the estab-
lishment of good government Through
the War of the Revolution. through
the Civil war and the World war. our
people have struggled to maintain our
constitutional principles.
'"They are asked to follow behind
an aggressive personality, who has
massed behind him hetero-
geneous collection of those opposing
the existing order of things, the great
est section Of which, the Socialists,
fly the red flag. and into what? Into
confusion and conflict Of ideas and
into the reopening Of war upon those
same fundamental principles Of lib
erty and the inalienable rights of man
which are giving in this country. safe
ty and opportunity to the humblest,
and to establish which the blood of
our forefathers was shed. This is the
predominant issue in this campaign"
From the LaFollette- Wheeler head
quarters in Chicago came this sole
comment:
'Mr. Dawes In his acceptance
speech violates the law which prohib-
its the use Of the flag for advertising
purposes. He maintains his standing
as a prof1teer in patriotism. The law
will prevent printing pictures of Cool
idge and Dawes on the American flag
as campaign banner. but they might
appropriately raise black flag bear
ing q four-leaf clover and an oil-can
rampant"
Governor Bryan said: "The more
Mr.. Dawes speaks, the happier the
Democrats will be. He is exhibit A
of what reactionary policies mean"
