clearly indicated that the peo'
their representatives at WASH
more inclined to use the elect
than their Democratic opponents.
The nomination of Judge Rose was a
great surprise to Mr.. O'Mahoney's
friends. The vote was so small
throughout the State that 1t cannot
be considered as indicative Of the will
OF the people. AS the primary law
has worked out, an exceedingly small
minority usually makes a nomina
tion.
The LaFollette ticket has not as
yet been filed. 1t is understood that
petitions are being prepared for this
purpose and that they will be filed
in time to secure the printing of the
names upon the ballots. The final
date for filing of nominations by
petition is September 25th. The
latest news in this matter is that Mr..
Kinder will be filed for the Senate,
Mr.. Apologize for the House of Rep
resentatives, and that three candi-
dates for Presidential electors will
be named. So far as outward ap-
pearances are concerned it would not
seem that the LaFollette ticket is
very strong. When an Independent
ticket like this is placed before the
people, II there Is any general turn
to it, 1t Is heard upon the streets and
everywhere. Thre Is very little talk
relating to Mr.. LaFollette's candi-
dacy. 1t Is likely that he will poll
a considerable number OF votes
among those extremely radical and
OF a socialistic turn of mind. and 1t
is also believed that some members
of labor unions who believe in taking
their politics from the higher-ups
will vote the ticket regardless of
what their former party affiliation
has been. 1t is the general opinion
though that most of the laboring
men will exercise their own Judgment
and not simply a%cquiesce in the die
tation Of men from outside.
Dawes IL Notified
The outstanding piece OF National
political news is the acceptance by
Mr.. Dawes of the Republican nomin.
alton for Vice President. He spoke
of the LaFollette candidacy as radi-
calism, dangerous and untried. and
denominated this campaign as one of
brass lacks, not bombast. Without
rhetorical flourish he laid down that
the issue of greatest Importance is
the Constitution, now the target for
attack by politicians who would
tamper with fundamentals. "a man
is known by the company he keeps"
said the General. Robert NJ. La
Toilette" he said, sis leading the
army of extreme radicalism, has n
platform demanding public owner
ship of railroads. and is attacking
our courts which are a fundamental
and Constitutional safeguard OF
American citizenship" Our Ma
ton" he continued, SIS asked to
cave important Constitutional moor
ings to embark again into those con
tests through which II has fought up
to the establishment of good Govern
ment." Through the Wal OF the
Rebellion. through the Civil War.
and through the World War our peo-
pie have struggled to establish and
maintain our Constitutional princi-
pies. They are asked to follow Mr..
LaFollette into an attack upon them,
masked behind an aggressive person
atty n heterogeneous collection OF
those opposing the existing order OF
things. the greatest section OF which
the Socialists. flies the red flag. and
n not simply a%cquiesce in The die
flict OF ideas and into the reopening
OF war upon those same fundamental
principles OF human labor and the in
~alienable rights OF man which are
giving In this country safety and OPP
portunity to the humblcst. and to es-
tablish which the blood Of our fore
fathers vas shed. This is the pre-
dominant Issue in this campaign"
General Dawes said that the Dem
ocrats were trying to avoid the rndi.
