DEMOCRATIC CHANCES BEST
SINCE 1916 IF WEST THINKS
DAVIS IS REAL PROGRESSIVE
Lawrence Discounts La Toilette as Major Factor Pre-
dieting That Either Davis or Coolidge Will Get a
Clear Majority in Electoral College

the election were TO be a close ona
the fifty votes might throw the con
test into congress for settlement.
But this CORRESPONDENT does not look
for q close result.
Either Calvin Coolidge or John w.
Davis will be the next president OF
the United States and when the tide
begins to run it will run strongly in
one direction. The question of wheth-
it will be a Democrat or a Republi-
can depends largely on the way the
issues are crystallized. AS for the
individuals nominated, they will not
be the vital factors that PERSONAL
ties were in 1912.
Three Strong Men
For the Republicans and Demo
Gratis have nominated two strong
men who's, character is unimpeach-
able and whose integrity is beyond
question. Even Senator La Toilette,
who runs On a third ticket, is a
man of rugged honesty and capacity.
The campaign will not turn on per-
sonal fitness but on issues. When
Wilson and Hughes were the noni.
nees in 1910 the country was ready
to accept either personality but the
west had a conviction that the Will

selves factors in the result. The

PREACHER RAIDER
FOUND NOT GUILTY
ON MURDER COUNT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July r.
Rev. c.. w. Cant, charged with the
murder of Anderson Green in a
whisky raid conducted in Jefferson
county last September, was ac-
quilted by a jury in United States
district court here this afternoon.
The jury verdict was returned 25
minutes after Judge Ben Hicks had
delivered his charge, the case hav-
ing been on trial since Thursday
and being concluded today just after
noon.
Cross examination today Of de-
Tense witnesses was centered large
ly on breaking down the evidence
submitted yesterday by w. o. Hill,
deputy prohibition agent, who tes-
sue and fire at Green, as had been
charged by prosecution witnesses.
Counsel for the preacher-raider in
troduced evidence today, showing
that the warrant brought against
Rev. Cant was sworn out by one
ID. B. Hargis, of Jefferson county,
at the behest of Knoxville men.
Hargis testified that after the
death of Green. and while visiting
in Knoxville, w. M. Moore and
Sula Anderson suggested that Cant
be prosecuted for the murder. At
their instigation the witness said
he swore out the warrant, which
also named +. b. Morris as a de-
PENDANT. Evidence then produced
was to the effect that Hargis did
not know Morris, or that the war
rant cnotained his name. j. Arthur
Atchley, Knoxville attorney, testified
that he prepared the warrant
against Cant, and that the name of
Morris was inserted at the sugges.
ton of a Johnson City man.
j. S. Remine, used as a witness to
combat the evidence of w. o. Hill,
| testified that he met Hill on the
street after the death of Green in a
local hospital and talked with him
about the case, and that Hill then
declared that he didn't know who
shot Green, that he was sure he
did not.

NEW YORK, July 12.-The op-
portunity for a Democratic victory
at the polls next November lies in
the west. Many things may happen
between now and election day to re-
wise ones estimate, but not since
1916 have the Democrats had the
chance they have this year.
Eastern Democrats scott at the
nomination of Governor Bryan as
vice president, for instance, but John
w. Davis, who made the selection,
had his eye on the west-the one
place which may mean his triumph.
1t is much too early to make definite
predictions but it is not too soon to
analyZe the fighting ground on
which the campaign will be fought.
This is essential to an understand
ing of the strategy that will be I'M
folded by all the candidates in the
next three months.
First of all, the campaign starts
with fundamental impressions-th
Republicans for example, are cock
sure of victory. Their confidence
arises out of the eastern states which
at present writing it would seem,
they are likely to carry by over
Whelming majorities.
Secondly, there is a, deep seated
idea that Senator LaFollette will de-
velop as much strength as did Roose-
welt in 1912. There is no warrant
for such an assumption. His cleo
torial vote may not exceed fifty. If

M'DONALD'S EXPLANATION
OF WHY HE WITHDREW

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 12.-(By
the Associated Press. )-Without spe-
officially indorsing Senator La Fol
ette, of Wisconsin, who, he said,
was regarded by many farmers as
the Moses to lead them out of their
present dilemma" Duncan McDon-
aid, of this city, nominated as Farm
er-Labor candidate for president at
the st. Paul convention, today told
why he had withdrawn from the
race in favor of the Wisconsin sena-
tor.
Is Our meeting at ST. Paul" Mr..
Mcdonald said, was not so much
a matter Of nominating candidates
as the forming of an organization.
In the Cleveland conference it was
apparent the purpose was the oppo-
site for the capitaliZing of the pop
ularity of one man.
Had we continued in the race
there would have been a division and
naturally the majority of our 9TH
erWise supporters would have fol-
lowed the banner of La Toilette. In
this situation the only logical thing
to do was to withdraw and permit
them to follow his leadership. Those
who spe in La Toilette no remedy
for this situation have now decided
to place a left wing ticket in the
field fostered and differed by mem
bers of the workers party, other
wise known as communists. This
will permit a clear line of demarca-
ton which the right and left wing
of the Farmer-Labor party may give
expression to their particular hob
by.
Il am not in sympathy with the
third party movements. Generally.
| believe the two dominant parties
who are fostered and financed from
the same source should unite their
forces as there is little to distinguish
them. Both have become playthings
of what we usually refer to as Wall
street. The leader of one party an
attorney for Morgan, and the other
acting as messenger for the oil in.
terests.
Il am convinced the lines should
be drawn on different angles and
that the representatives of special
privilege should have their party and
those in the other group should have
theirs. This would eliminate confu.
sion and obviate the expenditure of
some twenty million dollars in presi-
Dental campaigns that might we'll
be used for better purposes"
L do not believe the selection of
one man on an alleged reform ticket
will bring about the solution so much
desired"

WASHINGTON, July ia tenta-
tive program for raising $25O,0O0 III
small subscriptions from labor or
carnations and like groups to back
the LaFollette presidential cam
paign was laid out today at meet
ing of executive committee members
of the conference for progressive po-
litical action.
Alexander Kahn, of New York
City, was elected to head the financ
ing enterprise, and it was explained
that the sum would supplement the
total which might be raised for the
campaign by general public solicita'
ton through Representative Nelson.
of Wisconsin, who is managing tie
central headquarters at Chicago.
Senator LaFollette did not partlc1'
pate in the meeting, although it was
attended by officers Of several rail-
road unions. Talk concerning pos
sible vice presidential candidate was
kept hushed at the gathering, on the
ground that a larger conference in
Washington July IS, would sttele
the point, but it was stated with con
siderable positiveness that no. con
siderable project Of indorsing Gov
ernor Bryan, the Democratic presl'
Dental candidate would meet with
the approval of LaFollette adher

Every indication of sticking to the
announced plan of making the La

tors in as many states as possible
but without accompanying candl'
dacies of gubernatorial and congress

attending.

candidates of the two old political
parties can satisfy the labor move

place for them to go"
Senator LaFollette, although he
discussed conditions causually with
one or two callers, contented himself
with an automobile ride during the
afternoon and is expected to refrain
from any sort of campaign pro
nouncement until after the Friday
