DECLARES WOMEN
ARE BACKING DAVIS
Shaver Says Survey Shows They
Believe Democrats Offer
Most Reforms.

Chairman Shaver of the Democratic
national committee has issued a
statement commenting on the result
of a survey recently made by the
committee of the activities and in
terests of women in the present cam
paign. The statement says. in part:
"Represe entatives of the national
headquarters have just completed a
thorough investigation, by check,
personal inquiry and mail, giving me
a cross section Of women's opinions,
interest and activities in every Sec
ton of the country in this campaign.
1t reveals clearly and again proves
conclusively that the reason for the
support of Mr.. Davis by women is
that he and the Democratic party
offer them the only chance for get
ting the reforms in which they are
interested.
This survey shows that the wom-
en- of the country are taking the
responsibility of voting very serious
ly; that they are studying the situa-
ton conscientiously, and will vote as
individuals. They realize that they
must apply Intelligent thought to the
party platforms and the candidates
who stand behind them. They are
looking to see whether the candidate
for President belongs to a party

american women show by their
attitude, revealed now, both thei-
appreciation of the progressive well
fare laws enacted during the last
Democratic administration and their
indignation at the abandonment Of
this liberal program under the Hard

gratified at the action of the Demo-

child-labor laws; when it made legal

for equal work: when 1t put into
law the eighthour day, the minimum

tack in Milwaukee Calls for
No Comment, He Says.

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette in
for the present, on the attack made
on him by Charles q. Dawes, Re-
publican vice presidential nominee, in
a speech delivered last night in
Milwaukee.
lntimates of Senator La Toilette
said today that he probably will
make no direct reply to Gen. Dawes
at any time during the campaign.
He feels, they added. that the public,
particularly in his home State of Wis
consin, is familiar with his record in
ter to keep on the offensive during
the campaign than to allow himself
to be put on the defensive.
Abstains From Personalities.
In discussing campaign plans with
friends, Senator La Toilette fire.

to abstain from personalities, con-
fining himself in his addresses and
statements to a discussion of issues.

Sees Attack by "Patrioteers.,
Mr.. La Toilette has been attacked
by the patrioteers," the statement
quoted Col. Fisher as saying, be
cause he dared to speak his mind
on the issues before the people dur
ing the war. Yet any who have
studied the record know of his fear
less and untiring efforts to see that
our part in the war, once we We're
in 1T, was conducted efficiently and
effectively.
Because of his fearless stand Sen
ator La Toilette was misrepresented
throughout the country, his speeches
misQuoted and the fight against
him even was carried to the floor
of the Senate. In every instance
the attacks against him were con-
founded. =
During the entire period of the
war he stood as the foremost ex-
ponent of the rights of free speech,
free assemblage and free press. and
unflinchingly insisted that the Amer
lean people be allowed to help de-
termine the policies of the Govern
