cate game. La Toilette must
quietly and privately be shown to
be terrible person but publicly
nothing must be done to prevent
him from getting a lot Of votes.
It is essential to Republican strate-
gy that La Toilette shall have the
high esteem Of millions Of honest
working men and working women
in the industrial East, who, besides
being honest, are Democrats and
would naturally vote, for Davis.
La Toilette must be left good
enough to attract these honest
creatures away from Davis and yet
he must be bad enough SO that the
following argument can quietly be
presented to Democrats Of conser-
vative tendencies,
do you want to save your
country from ruin? Do you want
to save your country that horror
Of all black horrors, Robert Marion

the West because the West is natur-
ally Republican, or else, IL It
abandons Republicanism, radical.
The west is going to go either
Republican or radical. Davis then
cannot get a majority in the cleo.
toral college. The only man there
fore who can prevent the election
from going into the House Of
Representatives and into the Senate
where La Toilette has so much
power, is Coolidge. Vote for
Coolidge
That is the situation. Each side
is for having Bob La Toilette swell
up like q toad or q buIl.frOg and
for then using, him as magic.
lantern ogre or demon for soaring
conservatives on the other side
into abandoning their natural can.

This writer already knows con.
sentative Democrats who are going
to vote for Coolidge out Of fear Of
La Toilette and conservative Re.
publicans who. are going to vote for
Davis out of fear of La Toilette.
La Toilette hast gone and got
everything all twisted up. All reg
ular politicians used to regard him
as a handicap. Now the regular
politicians Of each side regard him
as one Of their most beautiful as.
sets. They used to want to mini.
mize him. Now they want to exag-
gerate him. He has a certain
amount Of power. Each side now,
for reasons Of its own, wants to
picture that power several sizes
larger than II is
The most amazing, ludicrous, dra-
matte personal fact in this campaign
Is that Bob La Toilette. who seemed

Hughes Tested Out Sentiment
Abroad-May Be Called
In October
By H. X. REYNOLDS,
International News seyvIce.

Informal advances and INQUIRIES
made by the United States indicate
that the other world powers are In
complete sympathy with the Ameri.
can proposal for a new interna.
tional armament conference once the
Dawes reparations plan is operating.
It was learned authoritatively here
today.
This was one of the questions
which Secretary of State Hughes
discussed with the prime ministers
of Europe during his recently COM
pleted tour Of England and the Con.
tinent. On every side he Is said to
have received assurances that Great
Britain, France and other nations
will willingly offer their co-opera-
| ton and assistance whenever the
United States decides that the time
is ripe for a new effort to limit the
world naval. military and aerial arm.
arnent.
Japs Ready To Come In.
Japan, likewise, is said to be
ready to come in, thus assuring a
conference as large, IL not more
comprehensive than the first Wash.
ington conference. which laid the
groundwork for the new undertake
ing.
Administration officials said to-
day that they had no reason to
doubt that a PREPARATIONS settlement
in London was now only a matter
Of arranging the details and that
the way would then be opened for
a frank discussion among the
powers of a further reduction Of
the great expenditures they are
now bearing for the maintenance
Of land armies and the building of
larger and more powerful air
fleets.
So well.defined is this feeling in
Government circles that a definite
time for sending out the formal
Invitations to the new conference
is being discussed. President Cool
idge desires, according to under.
standing here. to call the confer
ence this fall, probably in October.
This would mean that the. confer.
ence could assemble here in the
winter. possibly December or Janu-
airy, oreit could be held over until
the spring of 1925, while the
powers made up the program Of the
questions they intended to discuss.
Conference Agenda.
In connection with the agenda, it
was pointed out today that the res
toration of more stable relations be-
tween France and Germany may
make 1t possible for the question OF
land armamants to be discussed ard
an agreement reached for limitation.
At the other Washington confer
ence, France blocked any discussion
Of land armies, but is now reported
to be in more of mood for the
consideration OF proposals for mutu.
al reduction of these forces by the
powers. Other subjects on the
agenda will be the limitation of light
cruisers, submarines and other
auxiliary craft. in addition to the
question of aircraft.
