TERM RADICAL IS WELCOMED
 BYB.K. WHEELER
La Follette's Mate Opens Attack On Coolidge
 And Davis
(By Associated Press.)

BOSTON, Sept. 1.--Proclaiming the arrival of new political cleavage based on economic division, assailing by name his adversary candidates and summoning the citizens of Massachu- setts to what he declared was their heriditary tradition of innovating in national affairs, Senator Wheeler of Montana on Boston common today op- ened his campaign as vice-presidential candidate on the LaFollette ticket.
 Again and again he criticised Presi- dent Coolidge whom he termed the ..mythically strong, courage, silent, watchfur man who occupies the presi- dential chair" and attacked satirically Charles G. Dawes, the republican vice. Presidential nominee for ''his gallant service in war on organized labor," while he referred to John W. Davis, democratic standard bearer, as "a man who would be willing, it seems, to out Coolidge as a servant of Wall street.
 For himself, Senator Wheeler said he would welcome classification as radical to help the, revolt against put ing under the dictatorship of a small class that controls the financial re- sources of the country" he asserted the only issue of the day was that "of re- turning the government tox the repre- sentatives of the people," for, he added, the two old parties, fin everything but name are now as like as the gold dust twins" in their subserviency to "con- trol of a single dominate power of financial, industrial and commercial in- terests, centering in Wall Street"
 For ammunition to support his at- tack, the Montana senator depended much upon the record of the senatorial committee which investigated the off, ficial conduct of former Attorney Gen eral Daugherty, most of which was brought out by himself as prosecutor. Corruption in government which he said had been exposed, he treated as an inevitable result of financial control" :"

 Mir. Duty charged General Black with being a member of the Ku Klux Klan, qualifying his statement by say ing that 'so far as I can learn the general is a member of the Ku Klux Klan." have told any number of people that and will stick to it."
 ''Perhaps,' Mr. Duty continued, that is why the general is so anxious to have the troops leave"

There were two reasons why sam my Mandell would never amount to dern as a prizefghter.
 CD He was a handsome pink checked boy,
 CD He sang tenor.
 That was what loitcrers around the pool rooms in Rockford, H., used io say.
 IL sounded like good logic. This subtle business Of demolishing jaws never did put lofty premium on Valentino contours and operatic ton sils, anyway.
 Nobody ever called Bat Nelson q shcik. Jim Jcffrics fell few degrees short or being an Apollo. Abe Attcll would pass in & crowd, provided you weren't particular. Even when Bob F'itzsimmons wore blond toupee II was hard to work up any enthusiasm over his Grecian features.

 But worst CT all Mandeil faced q career in the prize ring as a tenor singer. That was tine quill that irri- tated tho porcupinc's back.

 MICHIGAN ON TRACK TEAM
Charles and Mike Reinkc arc Out to Set Up Some Cinder Marks This Year.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. l4--"Watch ont for the Reinke boys" is the big cry that is going out from the Uni yersity of Michigan campus these days. Not in q basketball way, nor in baseball. but on the track. For Charles and Mike are out to hang up some real performances on the cindcrs this season.
 Ths will be the first campaign that Michigan has had two Rcinkcs in active competition, Charles is n junior, Mike sophomore. In 1923, the former was one of the stars Of an otherwise sensational agercga- ton. In the half milo. with Charles in the running. Michigan was al- ways pretty sure of first or second place. X high jumper, in high school, this chap took 10 middle dis tance activities solely on dare. And he made good, too.
 Mike is miller. And from past performances stands an excellent chance of doing as well in his faNor- ite event as his brother has done in the SS0-yard brush He appears to have the stnff to make a name for himself. All he needs is more eN- perience.
 Unless predictions go wrong. ihe Maize and llue's prospects to gain Western Conference cham pionship are greatly enhanced by the ability of the pair on the cinders Charles in the half and Mike in the mile run.

 The local management is bending every effort io sec 1re a series of dates that would allow for a five game series, i.e. three more games 70 be played; and has declared willingness to play the Atlas outfit anywhere. any time and for any amount agreeable tc both.
 Hartford Series Too
 Efforts which undoubtedly will prove fruitful to secure a series of the best out of five games with the DiXies Of Hartford also are being made. At present the Dixies have two to the To- calls one, but fourth game will be played here a week from this com ing Saturday.
 With a game won and lost to the Hartford |. NJ. II. A.. it also is prob- able that a series with that outfit will be arranged.
 Saturlay's Game
 Saturday nights game with Middle town should prove humdinger since the Middletown outfit has already de- feated New Britain by five point margin. In fact the river boys have lost but three games this season and among those they have defeated are the Dixies. the Hartford kaceys twice and the Hartford r. M. II. A. In- cluded in the Middletown lineup arc Mccabe, Murphy, Sturm, Speak and Jack Carlson.
