SPEECH
NEAR COMPLETION
President Foregoes Cruise on
Potomac to Work on
His Acceptance.

Intensified effort during the week
had brought near to completion last
night the address President CooIide.e
Is preparing for delivery here August
IA in accepting the Republican presi-
Dental nomination and in inaugurat-
ing the Republican national campaign.
The Republican nominee has worked
as assiduously on the speech this
week as his official duties would per-
init, and today chose to forego his
week end cruise down the Potomac
in order to spend an entire afternoon
on the task.
Butler Coming Here.
Several sections of the address re-
main to be drafted, but for the most
part 1t is in such shape as only to
need the usual polishing off that pub
lie speakers like to give to prepared
addresses. Mr.. Coolidge wants to
have it entirely completed by the mid
die OF the coming week when William
M. Butler, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee. arrives
here for conferences, and to take
charge Of final arrangements for the
notification ceremonies.
Among the subjects to be consid-
cred by Mr.. Butler at his conferences
here with Mr.. Coolidge is the pro-
posal advanced by number of Re-
publican leaders. notably Senator
Curtis of Kansas, that additional
headquarters be established in Min
neapolis or some other city in the
Northwest from which a concentrated
campaign in that section would be
conducted.
Curtis Advice.
This section is looked upon by both
Republican and Democratic leaders
as the stronghold of Senator La Fol-
lette, the independent presidential
candidate, and Senator Curtis has ad-
vised Republican campaign managers
that he has reason to believe every
one of the Northwestern States, ex-
cept possibly Wisconsin and North
Dakota, could be carried by the Re-
publicans il the proper sort of cam
paign were conducted
Charles B. Warren, retiring am
bassador to Mexico, who is a guest
at the White House, said yesterday
that he expected to take an active
part in the campaign, but did not
disclose what form HIS participation
would take. He is being consulted
at present by Mr.. Coolidge in his
preparation Of his notification speech.

that this Government of ours would

ATTITUDE TO BE TOLD
IN FULL DETAIL TODAY
Pronouncement on Observance of
Defense Test to Be Made
Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, August 2-The
candidates. of Robert La Toilette
and Burton K. Wheeler were Endorsed
today by the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor by the
adoption, almost without revision. OF
the report of the Federation's ma.
tional non-partisan political cam
paign committee. Not until tomor-
row will the text Of the report and
the resolution be available to the
press.
Heads of the American Federation
Of Labor refused tonight to make any
comment as to the nature of either
document, and asked newspapermen
to avoid speculation. Debate on the
political question occupied all of a
special session of the council this
afternoon. The formulation of an
official attitude toward the observ-
ance of National Defense day, Sep
tember 12, was deferred until Mon
day.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, to-
night made an official statement con-
cerning the action of the executive
council, in his first personal contact
with newspaper men since he was
taken i'll Immediately after his ap-
pearance before the platform COM
mittee of the Democratic national
convention in New York.
Gompers Feeling FIT.
Escorted into the presence of the
newspaper men by a nurse and an
aide. he stood throughout the inter
view. To those who fastened to
place a chair for him. he said:
do not trouble about me. I'm feel
ing top-notch. Keep your seats"
Then, still pale from his illness
despite daily rides along the sea
shore boardwalk, and clinging to a
table for support, he made this state
mept:
Il am going to tell you quite frank
ly about the situation with US. We
have devoted the entire day to dis
cussion of the report of our political
committee. Every angle of the ma
tloHai political oitudtloii was Sohe
into.
There was no hesitation. 1t was
all clear speaking. The report of the
American Federation of Iabor's non
partisan political committee, which
we adopted, conforms to what has
been the practice with us in every
national, State and local campaign
since 1906.
Stand Is Taken.
I'VE nave not had a clerical force
reports of the meetings as quickly as
would be possible at our Washington
headquarters. But-we have reached
a conclusion and adopted the report
Some little revision will be necessary
We would like to make the proceed
ings public, but we can't today"
Other officials of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor would vouchsafe
only sufficient information to assure
those who had predicted the indorse-
ment of the La Follette-Wheeler
ticket that they had not gone amiss
in their predictions. The resolution
passed by the executive council was
decidedly favorable to La Toilette
and Wheeler" was the only elabora-
ton of this statement of assurance.
Sessions of the council will be re-
sumed Monday, the first topic of the
day to be a discussion of the ma
tional Defense day observance being
promoted by the Government.

DRY CHIEF RESENTS
DRUGGISTS CHARGES
Haynes Declares Prohibition Has
Not Interfered With Legiti-
mate Business.

Replying to criticism by the Ma
tional Wholesale Druggists Associa-
tion at Atlantic City this week. Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes last
night issued statement describing
the criticism as unfortunate and un-
justified
Mr.. Haynes said there was no evil
dence that the industries of the
United States depending on the use
of alcohol. had steadily declined owing
to the drastic and unjust methods
employed by the prohibition Office"
'On the other hand" he contended
there has been an expansion in the
volume of legitimate alcohol-using
industries, and in addition there has
been a number Of new alcohol-using
industries established during the
past four years
THE present regulations governing
the procurement of alcohol by lawful
industry are reasonable and enable
commercial operations to proceed
without undue interference. The
statement that illegitimate users of
alcohol apparently have but little
trouble in obtaining all they need is
wholly incorrect
THE prohibition unit has not pur-
sued a policy, which is charged, of
creating fake drug stores which sell
practically nothing but liquor. On
the contrary, it is well known that
the regulations governing the issuance
of wholesale druggists permits have
been drawn with the greatest care In

THREATENS PRESIDENT.
Chang Declares He Will Bomb
Palace.
By WILLIAM r. GILES.

So "hSAsC'
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MUKDEN, September %. via Shang-
hai.-Plans of Gen. Chang Tso-Lin,
war lord of Manchuria, to bomb the
palace of President Tsao-kun, in
Peking, are barred in a proclama ton
sent to all Chinese provinces.
Il may send messenger to PreSi-
dent Tsao-kun to pay him my re-
spects," Gen. Chang says. He will
travel by airplane, however, now that
traffic on the Peking- -Mukden Rail
way has stopped. The messenger will
be a military man and one not ac-
quainted with etiquet. 1. Chang Tso-
Lin, will await the return of this
messenger, who will carry spear
for a pillow"
All blame for the opening of the
warfare between the Chilli army of
Peking and Chang Tso-Lin's Man
churian forces is laid upon President
Tsao-kun and Marshal WI Pei-Fu,
Chilli military. dictator, by the Man
churian war lord in his proclamation.
In part, it says: Il regret that
Tsao-kun is taking military action
against Mukden, which is in contradic-
ton of his earlier promises. Such
action is unjustiiable. He sent troops
against Chekiang when millions of
people were starving in North China
as a result of disastrous floods and
notwithstanding his continual advo-
cacy of peace.
Now he takes pleasure in attempt
ing to subjugate Mukden. Such a
ridiculous attempt has been infiu-
enced by Gen. Wu Pei Flu, and Presi-
dent Tsao-kun has taken the wrong
step"
