mo THIRD PARTY" SAYS C.PP.A.

'BolsheVism" in the ears OF Oswald
Garrison Willard, editor of 1.-THE Ma
tion," and his whole Committee of
100" in support of LaFollette, not to
mention all the liberal groupings
that are out for the Wisconsin SEN
ator, but who also contend that the
Dawes plan is step toward peace
and democracy"
Must Fight Dawes Here.
But organized labor, following La
tollette's bandwagon in Illinois,
would be in pretty fix if it endorsed
the Morgan plan sponsored by the
Illinois open shop" banker, Hell n
Maria Dawes.
Congressman Brown hailed Pre-
mier Herriot, of France, and Pre-
mier Macdonald, of Great Britain,
as great democrats" forgetting that
both of these are boosting for the
Dawes plan. But Brown satisfied his
German backing in Wisconsin by de-
nouncing the 4O-mile display of Brit
ish battleships, in the British Chan
mel, Saturday, "the greatest display
since the war"
He Supported Harding.
Brown also apologized for support
ing Harding in 1920. He thot Hard
ing was "the goods" before election,
but he has since found out that Hard
ing was worse than Taft, that the
Harding administration was saturat-
ed with graft and corruption"
MACEDONIAN hailed the banker, Rich
ard w. Wolfe, who is director in
several banks" as a constructive
business man. 81
Mr.. Wolfe came back and declared
that, CAS- a conservative business
man and tax paying citizen, l am in
favor of the candidacy Of Robert M.
LaFollette as president of the United
States" He said he had been in bust
ness in Chicago for 80 years, but
failed to pass around his card adver-
tizing his place of business. He was
in favor of wise business, declaring
that:
Had the car Of Russia listened
to the counsels of wise and patriot
ic men, he and his family would
not have suffered the horrors Of the
murderous firing squad"
What the banker, Wolfe, hopes to
do for the cars Of America we do
not know, but Stephen A. Doyle, the
next speaker declared that these
same cars, at the present time, in
this country, support $40 private de-
tective agencies. He charged that
there were 100000 private detectives
in the United States at the present
time.
Miners Are Absent.
In the report of the credentials
committee the noticeable features
was the absence of any delegates
representing the 100000 organized
coal miners in the state.
The arrangements committee had
planned for meetings of the different
divisions of the gatherings. Chair
man MACEDONIAN had announced the
caucuses of the railroad delegates,
the building trades delegates. the
needle trades delegates, even the So
SAdAlotoS Inc WOM6Q, L06 progressive
democrats, the progressive republi-
cans, ETC., etc. But when he called
out the miners, there was a dead 81.
lence. Secretary Dennis Mccarthy
leaned over and whispered something
in MacGowan's ear, and the chair
man passed on rapidly to the "busi-
ness and professional mems division"
There was also a call for the meet
ing of the Negro division" But
there was only one Negro in the hall
and he announced he was not a dele
gate.
The half dozen socialists in the
conference were under the leadership
of w. R. Snow, state secretary for
Illinois, who opposed the LaFollette
endorsement at the Cleveland con-
vention Of the Socialist party.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of
America, was present, but took no
part in the proceedings. Sam Leven,
of Chicago, represented the needle
trades.
