ing this explanation the reporter prob
ably thought that a party made up of
all industrial workers and farmers
would look all-inclusive enough to sat
isfy the senator as to it's being a genu-
inc party of the people.
But no, you cannot satisfy the sena-
tor so easily when it comes to dis
cussing the people" He seems to
be very anxious that the party which
he is in favor of should include every
single member of the people. Alright.
How, then, does he propose to bring
this about?
AS to the workers, the senator is
of the opinion that: "Well, there is
already Workers Party, Commun-
list group. We don't want to have
anything. to do with Communists"
Bravo, senatorl That's good. If you
are looking for a party of workers,
there is already such a party in the
field-the Workers Party, and its can
didates are not LaFollette and Wheel
er, but Foster and Gitlow. Alright,
this little statement of the senator
suits us perfectly.
But how about party of the peo-
pie? Aren't the workers. the Com
munists, part of the people? Don't
they deserve to be included in the
senator's party, which is to be. ac-
cording to Wheeler's own words,
party of the people? Don't these Com

useful work, whether of brain or
brawn?"
Now, one would think, the reporter
at last got the senator into a corner.
Now, really, can LaFolIette's vice
president speak against a party "of
all people who gain their living by
useful work, whether of brain or
brawn?" Aren't these the kind of
people that LaFollette is supposed to
be fighting for?
1t seems not. Just read what Sena-
tor Wheeler himself has to say:
II am less interested in the avo-
cation of a man than in his ideals

Wheeler. Il would welcome into
the party any man who subscribes
to the aims and purposes of the par

In Connecticut l had placed at my
disposal beautiful, enclosed auto

it also contributed literally toward
the campaign fund. Are we to de-
bar him because he happens to have
money-even tho he is sufficiently
with us to do these things?"
Senator Wheeler is interested in
the ideals" Of a man more than in its
avocation.
Ideals Mean Money.

sort Of ideals he is after, but he does

ers. The old betrayer of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor usually
draws very clear distinction be-
tween what he considers labor and
the mass of laborers. The latter are
to Gompers just as repulsive as to
Wheeler, only Gompers does not COM
nit the folly Of identifying Labor"
with laborers.
However, this is beside the point
We are concerned now with the sena-
tor, who objects to Labor Party be-
cause iaborers-you must remember
that-constitute only certain pro-
portion of the people. The implica-
ton of this objection would seem to
indicate that what the senator is af-
ter is party not of portion of the
people, but of all the people.
The reporter understood the nature
of the senator's objection and imme-
diately volunteered an explanation.
He said: well, of course, 1 mean all

the British Labor Party in Britain,
you will find all possible sorts of
people-workers, farmers, school
teachers, bankers, manufacturers.
They are all of them agreed on one
common ground-the aims and pur-
poses of the party"
Well, senator, you have not told US
the whole truth about the British La
Dor Party. 1t is true that there are
in that party bankers and manufac-
turers. Even lords. 1t is also true
that Macdonald and his government
are trying very hard to transform the
Labor Party, which at present is
based upon the organized labor move
ment Of Great Britain, into a party OF
bankers, merchants and manufactur.
ers, /. e., into party of Wheeler and
LaFollette. 1t is also true that the
Labor government of England is al
ready acting as if it were put into
power by a party of bankers and man
ufacturers.
But that transformation-from a
Labor Party into a capitalist party
which Macdonald seeks so anxiously
to achieve-this transformation has
not yet been accomplished. The Brit
ish workers, the rank and file Of the
British trade unions don't want that.
in other words, what's happening
now in the British Labor Party is that

starvation at the hands of special
privilege" and "monopolies" which
LaFollette and Wheeler are supposed
to be fighting against?
And the Farmers.
Then what about the farmers?
Surely they are entitled to be con-
sidered as part of the people. And
the reporter distinctly explained that
when he said Labor Party, he meant
party of workers and farmers. But
the senator did not seem to have
heard that. He merely passed it over
But the reporter seems to have
been determined to squeeze out of
Senator Wheeler some sort of party
that would include the people who
work, who produce, who are being ex-
plotted. So he proceeds to press the
original question, only somewhat diff
ferently worded. The reporters ques-
ton:

say that he will not debar from
his party a man because he happens
to have money"
Now, now, here the senator said
something. He wants for his party

and who are they? Not the workers,
these are Communists and with Com
munists we have nothing to do Not
the farmers, about them we keep

Great stuff. We knew right along
that this was the sort of party that
LaFollette and Wheeler are after. But
what about Debs, Hillquit and Berg
er? Are they too, after Wheeler's
men of ideals?
Refers to British Labor Party
However, it seems that the senator
has sensed that he had begun letting
the cat out of the bag. So he pro-
ceeds to explain himself:
Take the British Labor Party.
Aren't there many such in it. In

again. What is it for that the Social
ist Party has surrendered to LaFol-
lette? 1t is for the sake of getting
Labor Party formed sometime in the
future, isn't it? This is what we are
being told by Debs, Hillquit, Berger,
Oneal, ETC., etc.
to this our reply was that it is
nonsense. No one in full possession
of all faculties and could seriously
believe that Labor Party will result
out of the -LaFollette-Social-
list outfit. Why? Simply because this
combination does not want a Labor
Party. They are not interested in
it. A Labor Party pursuing an in
dependent working class policy would
constitute a serious menace to the
class and group interests of the La
Follette-Gompers combine.
Now Comes Wheeler.
Now comes Wheeler himself, vice.
presidential candidate on LaFollette's
ticket, and what does he say? Well,
he says many things, but the one
thing that is of most interest to us
at this moment is that he is opposed
to the formation of Labor Party.
He does not mince words, either.
In fact, he should be congratulated
for his frankness in the matter One
would wish that his socialist follow
ers might follow him also in frank
ness and sincerity.

sound of it is Objectionable His
healthy class instinct, the instinct of
petty bourgeois, of one who is iden-
titled and associated with the well-to-
do middle classes, simply revolts at
the idea of party of workers.
Does he conceal this fact? No; he
couldn't very well. His class instincts
seem to be stronger than his political
intelligence. Thus it happened that
when confronted by Federated
Press reporter with the question of
whether he would favor Labor Par
ty, he innocently replied: No, he
doesn't favor any such thing. He is
opposed to it.
Anything But Party of Workers.
Here is portion of the interview
with Senator Wheeler as reported by
the Federated Press.
"Are you in favor of a. definite,
organic third party developing out
of this movement" asked the in
terviewer.
YES" replied Wheeler.
would you like to see it labor

party?"

must remember that laborers con-
stitute only certain proportion of
the people. What about the farm
ers?"

interviewer; II mean all workers

"Well, there is already a Work

answered Wheeler. 1--WE don't want

the use of that term either. There

Please. note the reasoning of the
man whom the Socialist party has
seen fit to endorse as its candidate
for vice-president. The reporter asks
Wheeler whether he would like to sec

Dor Party. Wheeler says: No, he
does not want that. Why? Because

ator, for the kind reminder) that

lively, full of good humor and funny
stories, Dawes contrasts with the
silent man in the White House.
Graduated at Marietta.
Charley" Dawes went to school at
Marietta, Ohio. until he had gradual
ed from Marietta College as a civil
engineer, or, as he described himself.
"a fair second-rate civil engineer"
1t was not his ultimate dream to fol-
low that profession, but his expert
ence with it helped put him through
Cincinnati Law School, where, at 81,
he took his Ii. B. in 1886.
During those early college years
he gained valuable experience, and
funds as well, from a little railroad,
now a part of the Toledo and Ohio
Central, for which his uncle was re-
ceiver.
The engineering experience came in

relates, when he established himself
in Lincoln, Neb.. a newly fiedged
lawyer without influence and with a
very few clients.
Lacked Professional Prestige.
At this time. it is said, "a brother
of his father had been Governor of
Nebraska, but this gave him more
social than professional prestige. Odd
jobs of engineering in the intervals
of law practice gave him a living

on his first detail from West Point

Vice President-as a man ready to
step in if the need arises.
Gen. Dawes has been intruSted by
three Presidents with responsible
ties involving autocratic powers. He
served as controller of the currency
as first director of the Bureau of the
Budget and as general purchasing
agent for the A. +. F. before he was
chairman of the interallied commit
tee which drafted the plan to rescue
German finances. He quit the prac-

ality. He has had a career of kaleido-
scopic brilliancy beginning August
81, 1866, in a modest home in Ma
from puritan and patriotic ancestry.
His father, Rufus c. Dawes, was bre-
vetted brigadier general after four
years Of fighting with the Iron Bri-
gade" In the civil war, and one of his
forebears, it is related, accompanied
Paul Revere on that historic ride be-
fore the battle of Lexington.

was called upon to do, but she did
little or no real drudgery in her life,
and, being an intelligent manager of
household affairs, could practice econ
nomy and lend herself to other things
While little time is given Mrs.
Coolidge as mistress of the White
House in which to sew or knit, she
always has bit of work near at
hand, and one of her real passions is
for designing a dress or hat, adding
an extra touch to costume or look
ing after the niceties Of a toilet.
This trait keeps her away from the
merely conventional and gives even
her simplest costumes an air of dis
tinction.
The huge closets built in the White
House to accommodate the extensive
wardrobes of latter-day miStresSes of
the mansion, instead of the few
wooden pegs which occupied the
wardrobe walls of Mrs Adams, Mrs.
Madison and other early-day first
ladies, are not now filled to overflow
ing with superluous clothing-cos-
tunes to be worn once and never
again. Indeed, Mrs. Coolidge chooses
her wardrobe with such care that,
while she has suitable costumes for
every possible occasion, she has
enough and no more. She is always
correct, stylish and up to date, per-
haps more so than any woman who
has ever presided in the mansion.
She loves the orange and brown
shades, certain shades of red, and has
gown of kings blue on which she
dotes.
Same White House Routine.
When Mr.. Coolidge assumed resi-
dence there and took his first meal
there as President, the evening of
August 81, 1928, neither he nor Mrs.
Coolidge instituted the slightest
change in management, except to cur
tail the daily menus, adapting them
to their own tastes. No one need be
afraid now of either the President
or Mrs. Coolidge disturbing the sa-
cred traditions of the mansion. They
accepted without question the man
agement of the White House affairs,
| realizing that those who had for
many years the full run and control
of the house and were accustomed to
domestic life or the larger official
life of a President and his family
were best suited and qualified to
carry on in the mansion.
OF course, there was a change in
taste between that of the late Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding, who were
Middle West, and President and Mrs.
| Coolidge, who are New England, so
deep-crusted custard and apple pies
soon found their way to the table,
