TAKES RAP At FOES

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. After
conferences with Democratic leaders
at both Washington and New York
headquarters, including senator
Swanson, chairman of the speakers
bureau, Representative William D.
Upshaw. of Georgia, has promised
to make a number Of speeches for
the Davis Bryan ticket in the clos
ing weeks OF the campaign.
Volunteering as much as two or
three weeks of his time, Representa-
tive Upshaw was told by Senator
Swanson at Democratic national
committee headquarters that the
speakers bureau would like to use
the Georgia orator in several of the
pivotal western states. Mr.. Upshaw
will probably take the stump early
in October.
He went to Democratic headquar-
ters in New York after his confer
ences here during the past week.
Taking a shot at editors outside
Of the Fifth district who have crit
icised him heretofore, Representa-
tive Upshaw issued a statement
here asking that his critics outside
of the district look at his fourth
denomination by a large majority
and cease advising his constituents
about their representation in con-
gress.
81 would be false to every CRATE
full impulse OF my very humanity
human heart if 1 did not try to ex-
press my inexpressible gratitude for
the signal majority accorded me in
the recent primaries by the great
est district in the SOUTH" said the
congressman statement.
81 would also fail to be human
if J. did not yield to the inclination
to say a word, in all good humor,
to the little group of wilful men
about a dozen in numbeD who, as
editors living outside my district,
have gone out Of their way to give
us free advice and sometimes croco-
die sympathy concerning the Geor-
gia congressman from the Fifth
district.
1T seems to me that this quartet
Of fault-finding editors ought to be
content with this quartet Of signal
Endorsements Of my record. The peo-
pie who know me-the people whom
L serve-have spoken; let the out
side editors possess their souls in
patience"
Representative Upshaw stated
that he recently, at the request of
various Atlanta civic organizations,
visited the navy department to as
certain the possibility of the giant
dirigible, ZR-3 paying Atlanta a
visit when the German-bIilt air
ship arrives here.
He quoted Chief Johnson, Of the

predicted a month ago that it would
be nearly October before he would
get warmed up"
Using a special train for the first
time since he began his speaking
campaign, Mr.. Dawes appeared on
the rear platform at every stop and
as the train resumed its journey
there was left behind with those who
heard the nominee a collection of
DaWes-coined phrases such as "politi-
cal pee-wits" and tissue straddling'
dema gogues."
The reception given his rear plat
form speeches both today and while
Ell route to Sioux Falls, S. D., where
he made his principal speech Of the
trip last night, was declared by Mr.
Dawes to have been satisfactory-so
satisfactory, he said, that he plans
to make as many rear platform talks
as possible on his trip to the far west,
starting about October s.

paien,' he told those who greeted
him at Dubuque, II thought 1 was
going to talk a good deal about the
budget. I had something to do with
it and l knew something about the
subject. But this is about the first
time l have mentioned the budget
in the whole campaign.
"Why? Because like a thief in the
night, a great issue has stolen upon
the cOnsciences and minds OF the
American people-an issue nobody
eXpected-the issue Of the constitu-
ton Of the United States. which con.
stitution is being assailed by Robert

the forces opposed to the existing

largest portion of which are the So

This issue is fundamental. 1t i.

abandon our present form of gov
