 cares in a letter to the non partisan political campaign committee of tht American Federation of Labor his ap. preciaton and that of his running mate, Senator Wheeler, of Montana for the endorsement of their candi. dacy by the executive council.
 Although it may be "branded as radical by the forces we are fightingS he says. the ultimate objective" of the independent campaign 'in its es- sence Is conservative"
 Since it is a policy Of conservation of human rights" this aim, he asserts, "has never been more accurately fit tingly described" than by the state ment in the message notifying him formally of the cohncil's endorsement that it is "the restoration of govern ment to its sole rightful purpose--the service of the masses Of the people,"
 Chosen to Fight.
 Setting forth the issue as he sees it, the Wisconsin senator charges that "our opponents have deliberately chosen to entrench themselves in de- fense of vested rights and special priv ileges," while Eve have chosen to fight progressively and without com promise for human rights" The labor movement. he adds, has been "a prime factor in every en- Lerprise for the conservation of hu- nan rights, human lives and those great resources with which nature SO avishly endowed our country for the lee and enjoyment of it's people,"
 Matthew Woll, vice-president of he federation and head of the inter- lational labor press of America, mean while has arranged to keep tab on he political declarations of all labor l during the campaign 10 | make sure, he says, "2ho are the l hecp and who are the goats" His | heck thus far, his statement relates, as disclosed only one such paper that | as failed to give enthusiastic SUD- ort to the independent presidential cket, and he predicts that the labor ress will be found before the cam aign ends 'solidly' behind these and ther candidates given the federation

DRY PARTY STANDS
 ON OWN MERITS
Not to Ask Victory Because Of
 FailiDgs Of Others

sedalia, Mo, Aug. 1s.-The prohi. bition party will wage It's campaign on the merits of the party and not or the demerits of other parties, H. P Paris, prohibition party nominee for president declared in an address pre- pared for delivery at the Missouri state fair today.
 After reviewing accomplishment of the party. Mr. Paris decared:
 For 50 years and more our party has been electing the issues, while other parties have been electing the officers and enjoying the emoluments and salaries.
 Many minimizing people have re- garded us as a party of one idea h. stead, we have been the one party which has discovered, declared and fought for every reform measure brought to fruiton in our national legislation for the last 50 years.
 Outlining the reforms declared for by the prohibition party, years be- fore thought of by others" Mr. Paris named: rural free delivery of the mails, parcels post, postal savings banks, good roads with federal aid, income tax, election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, prohibition and woman suffrage.
 "Ts 1t not time now" he asked, that a party capable of exhibiting for more than half a century, such statesmanship Is entitled to be elect ed to the offices and thereby be placed in position to enforce the laws which both the other parties have so signally failed to enforce?"

Emmett J, Scott, of Washington, are guests in his home, be permitted to voice their tribute to Miss Milholland | at the memorial service In the church. | Party leaders had told him, he said, | that it would mar the program to 1 her memory" This, he declared, was l directly opposed to the ideas of his ate daughter, who. at the time of he suffrage parade in Washington, 'ome years ago, demanded that col ,red people be allowed to take part n it."

MISS MASON HONORED
AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE

On the list of new society members
just announced at Wellesley college
in Miss Augusta Mason of Birming-
ham who has been admitted to the Shake
speare society. Miss Mason is the love-
ly daughter of DIR. and Mrs. j. M.
Mason and a popular member OF the
society set, and her home is interested
in the honor bestowed on her.
True to Wellesley's democratic tradi-
ton there are no secret societies or
sororities in the college. There are,
however, six societies which had their
origin as secret societies, and which In
a sense take the place of these organl-
cations in Wellesley life. Membership
in these societies is limited to juniors
and seniors, and students whose aca-
demic rank is sufficiently high are
privileged to apply for membership. The
applica tons are considered by each So
ciety and by a committee represent
ing all societies, and the final lists are
made up with the view to putting into
each society the girls who want to be
there and the girls who are wanted by
the society members. The system Is
unique among colleges. Wellesley finds
that it operates to do away with most
of the evils of the society system, and
yet to keep the social advantages which
secret societies may give.
For the most part the societies are
social in purpose, but each one follows
different line of study and work. Tau
Zeta Epsilon studies art and music ;
Agora political and social problems
Shakespeare the presentation of Shake
speare plays; Alpha Kappa Chi Greek
drama; Zeta Alpha modern drama
and Phi Sigma folk lore.
