VXIHAT President Coolidge thinks
Wv of the Ku Klax khan is embodied
in a message transmitted from the
White House to Joseph Branin editor
of a newspaper syndicate. Secretary
Slemp wrote:
Complying with your request of
August 81, am sending you on behalf
of the President message which the
President has authorized for the Jew
ish New Year.
'sAs to the other matters touched
upon in your communication | am au-
thorized to say that the President is
aware of the many annoying difficult
ties in connection with the admins
tration of the immigration law, and he
is decidedly in favor of every possible
effort to humanize the law and its adj
ministration.
Concerning the Ku Klux khan, the
President has repeatedly stated that
he is not member of the order and
is not in sympathy with its aims and
purposes.
"As to Zionism, the rebuilding of
Palestine as the Jewish national home
land, the President has repeatedly
given his most hearty Endorsement to
this movement and expressed his
wishes for it's success"
The President also has let 1t be
known that he favors a revision of the
labor provisions of the transportation
act and believes railway arrangements
and employees should get together on
plan for such modification. He
touched on this matter in speech de-
livered on Labor day to group of
more than 100 labor leaders who called
at the White House to pledge him their
support.
Senator LaFollette took advantage
of Labor day to open his speaking
campaign with a radio address. He
promised, if elected, to rescue the peo-
pie of the nation from the clutches of
the great monopolies as he did those
of Wisconsin when he was elected gov
ernor. He denied that his movement is
sbent on radical and destructive ends,
subversive of the government and of
the Constitution
John w. Davis, Democratic Presi-
Dental candidate, spent two days in
| Chicago comforting with his managers
there but making no public appear
ances. He then went on to Omaha and
Denver to make some addresses, which
will be followed by others in Missouri
! and Iowa. He has been receiving many
reports of conditions in the Middle
| West which lead him to believe he has
at least as good chance to capture
the farmer vote as either Coolidge or
| LaFollette.
Wisconsin Republicans renominated
| Governor Blaine, backed by the in
dorsement of LaFollette, by huge
plurality, and the rest of the LaFol-
| Republican aspirants were also
| successful except in the Milwaukee dis
| trict now represented by Congressman
Berger. Socialist. Ten members of the
states delegation in congress, all La
Toilette supporters, were re-nominated.
THREE well-known sportsmen were
Il killed in accidents last week. Joe
/ Boyer, automobile racer, sacrificed his
/ life to save spectators at the Altoona
speedway. Dario Resta of Italy, who
won many trophies on American
tracks, was instantly killed at Brook
lands, England, while trying for new
record. Edward f. Geers, dean of
i American harness drivers and known
for many years as Pop" met death
/ in a race at Wheeling, w. Va, when
his mare, Miladi Guy, stumbled and
fell.
Maria Thompson Daviess, who won
considerable fame as novelist and
was also an artist and dramatist, died
suddenly in her residence in New
York.
Two other noteworthy deaths of the
week were those Of II. j. Case, inven-
tor of threshing machinery, and of
Lieut.. Gen. S. B. M. Young, Q. S. A,
