MASSACHUSETTS, | SEES KHAN HIT
 BY DEMOCRATS
G. o. P. And Independ- ents Lashed-Republi-
 cans Laud Coolidge

WORCESTER, Mass. Sept. 20.-- Lashins out at. the republican admin istration, the Ku Klux Klan and the La Toilette Wheeler independent ticket, the democratic state leaders repeatedly brought the state convention meeting here today to its feet wildly chering.
 Mayor Curly of Boston, candidate for governor, was greeted vociferously when he rose to speak.
 William H. Lewis, former United States assistant district attorney, hith- erto a strong republican, declared he "coul6 not keep company with a party which veils its convictions behind pill low cases and sheets" and declared he was typical of the negro race in seeking justice with the democratic party. ..|
 John +. Fitzgerald, temporary chair man and keynote speaker, referring to the candidacy of Senator La Toilette, said:
 Plays Lone Hand.
 "We must pay particular attention to the laboring men,, some of whom have joined La Follete. You who know La Follette's record, know he betrayed Roosevelt. He has laways played a lone hand. He never worked with either progressive, republicans ors democrats. When two million Americans. were over seas, Robert La Toilette pleaded for the Germans and was only saved from following Debs to prison, by Penrose and Henry Cabot Lodge"
 The Massachusetts state republican convention, also meeting here today, took Calvin Coolidge, his principles, his policies and his conduct in office" for their platform, adding among a few brief blanks one that touche dthe klan brief blanks one that touched the klan The platform contained 499 words. The brief plank touching on the klan said /: We deplOre any organized effort to create racial or religions prejudice"
 President Coolidge sent to the con- yentiOn telegram setting forth. .'econ- omy, stability and common sense in government" as issues of the national campaign, adding that he knew Massa- chusetts could be depended on, and the expression II believe we can depend upon the nation"
 Speaker Frederick H. Gillett of the national house of representatives, speak ing as the party nominee to succeed Senator David I. Walsh, democrat, add ed to his prepared remarks that the republican party was corrupt, and that the President himself was involved. "We must admit with shame" he said, ''that few republicans, high in of flee, have apparently violated their trusts. This was not symptomatic, how ever, only an accident.

WHEELER AIRS
 DAWES RECORD
From Page One. )

in this transaction became known when the received, appointed by the court, tried to find the $1,250,000 of cash which had been exhibited to the state auditors agent the day the bank was given permission to do business. So he brought suit in the Cook county circuit court to hold Dawes bank liable for the full $1,250,000.
 "The court held that Dawes bank must pay over to the receiver, for the benefit of the creditors, that $1,25O,OO with interest, amounting in all to $l,- 487, ,S54 16. Dawes naturally appealed and the case remained in the courts un- til July 12 of this year. The very day that Mir. Dawes was nominated, by long distance1telephon from the White House, for the office of vice president, the supreme court of Illinois handed down a final decree in the case. Seven years of fighting back and forth through the courts had whitfield down the amount that Dawes bank must pay to $100,000. He had succeeded in re- ducing his liability this much, but never for moment did he escape the respOn- sibility for his astounding cheat upon the public.
 50 much for the record of MT. Dawes the banker. We now come to his record as a general-as a general of the min ute men of the constitution. In April, 1923, he had a conference at Miami, Fla, with Attorney General Daugherty. He came back to Chicago then and or ganized the minute men of the consti- tuition. Just how General Dawes pro- posed to use his little army was not made clear until he issued his first call to arms. The first battle in behalf of the constitution ordered by the general was here in Chicago a year ago when ne directed his minute men to go to the polls and vote for two judges, then up was the same who had been concerned in the litigation over Dawes bank.
 Tn his official call to the minute men, General Dawes gave as his excuse the fact that certain labor leaders had attacked two judicial candidates as injunction judges This was a local election and you are all doubtless ia milar with the facts. Speaking of the labor leaders, General Dawes said:
 They assume that the acts and con duct of judges in issuing injunctions Nare against the rank and file of labor l This is not the fact Judges Sullivan and Holdom, under the law, were re, quired to issue these injunctions when q proper bill was presented to them While the law stand as it is, judge must issue an injunction when proper bill is filed

 PASS UP SHOALS
Book Fails To Elaborate Charges Against Ad- :.
 ministration
Washington Bureau.) )

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Ths completed campaign book of the pro. gressiye party, issued today, contains pothing in amplification of the charge, published in advance, that the admins tration had sought to deliver Muscle Shoals to the Alabama Power company. Thtac> harge was one of the twenty nine items of the general indictment brought against the administration.
 At headquarters today, it was de- clared that the chapter headed 'sean- dal' was so voluminous that the general subject had to be treated t'in the high spots only. It was explained, how ever, that the publicity committee had ground for each item. of the indictment, and that each would later be streated in formal statements. The La Toilette Wheeler party is as much opposed to the offer of Henry Ford as to the of. fer of the Alabama Power company In its platform, it declares for govern ment ownership of water power, which is regarded as a tentative indorsement of the position of Senator George w. Norris, chairman of the committee on agriculture.

 TO TAKE STUMP
h' Underwood, Heflin And Stegall Have Accepted
 Invitation To Speak
lWashington Bureau.l

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Follow- ing announcement that Governor w. w. Brandon will take the stump in the east October 5 in behalf of the Davis Bryan ticket, it is disclosed that other Alabamians will be in the field to urge a democratic victory. These include Senators Underwood and Heflin and Representative Henry B. Stesall for cer- tain. Others, also, may be called upon.
 Governor Brandon will speak in New York and New Jersey, Senator Under wood in the east and Senator Heflin in Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois and possi- bly, in the far west. Representatives Oliver, Bankhead and McDuffie also will campaign in behalf of the ticket.
 The list of Alabamians was furnished to the democratic national committee by R. B. Evins, chairman of the state committee. Senator Underwood re- quested to furnish the list after stating ''of course you know what an able and forceful speaker. my colleague in the Senate is and we have splendid talent in the House, referred the inqdirer, tC Mfr. Evins.
 MT Evins suggested Senator sHeffir but not Senator Underwood, and the members of the house from Alabama except Messrs. Jeffefs of the Fourth and Allgood of the Seventh, "whom do not know as public speakers" he said. Others suggested by Evins were Ray Rushton, Leon McCord, Borden Burr, Fritz Thompson, Mike Sollie, W. o. Mulkey, Governor Brandon, $. J. Bowie, A. H. Carmichael, J. F. Stall ings, A. D. Pitts, o. R. Hood, c. P. Beddow and G. T. McElderry. The lat. ter, MT. Evins said, would be very ef. fective before farmers.
 Another Alabama speaker listed for service is Mrs. w. B. Edmundson, of Decatur, the only Alabama woman in. cluded. She is representative of the farmers union and is recalled as the witness before the agricultural commit. tee of the Senate last fall who infur. lated Chairman Norris by declaring he had betrayed a young Alabama girl who had kissed him in an effort to save the Ford offer.

 Wells and his bride of but a few weeks were both shot down in the attack that was attempted against Mrs. Wells. the young husband fighting blindly and successfully in a darkened room to protect his wife. Both were patients at a hospital for number of weeks as a result of bullet wounds re- 'ceived in the encounter, mad it was only recently that the young mans condition of health caused an exainina- tion to be made that disclosed the abs
 cess. This was successfully removed, but meningitis developed and caused death. ----s.: sl.''

LESSIALS TARIFF.
Three. Year Record Balanced Against A
 13O-Year One.


 SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 20.-Ad- dressing a crowd of several thousand at an open air meeting here today, John ". Davis asserted that the country had been travelling on the road of privi- lege for the past three and half years, leading to a high tariff behind of which the favored few might prosper at the expense of the many.
 Declaring that the Democratic party have travelled the other road of equal lights for 130 years, MT. Davis said it would continue to travel that road, a road where all men, high or low, would be treated alike.
 Next, he said, there was the rate at which the country wished to travel.
 There are those in this country he said. "who believe that the greatest public service is to keep cool"
 He added that they wanted to keep cool even in the face of such scandals as those of the squanderihg of the naval reserves and the corruptiou in the Veterans Bureau.
 "When faithful public servants un- covered these affairs" Mir. Davis added, "there was no burning resentment among those who are forever keeping cool" e
 Costly COOlineSs. 1fs@
 Referring to the sugar tariff, Mir. Davis said there was an effort to keep cool on the recommendation of the tariff commission for a revision which would save the American people S145,- GOO a day.
 The democratic nominee also said there was a desire to keep cool" even in the face of tn eplight of the farmer and again to have the situation investi- gated.
 The next question for the people to decide, Mir. Davis said, was the character of the vehicle. whether they are to select vehicle with the wheels spinning in opposite directions
 The nominee pointed to the Mellon plan, the postal pay bill, the bonus and other matters as illustrative of his contention, that the wheels of the re- publican party are spinning in opposite directions. He told his audience that it was not so with the democratic party, that the record of the party showed that its wheels are all spinning in the same direction and that it is hitting on all twelve cylinders

CHICAGO, October 25.-Heavier re-
ceiptS and Indifferent demand, a large
storage surplus and prospects for a large
Winter make weakened the butter
market this week and prices were

Prevalence of seasonal defects and
poor demand caused accumulation of

slight increases.
Mild weather, considering the ad-

as the cause for the continued heavy

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, October 25-Wheat prices
turned sharply upward soon after the
opening today, Influenced by a re-
duction in estimates of the export
able surplus in Argentina and by
bullish figures from Rome as to the
world surplus. The Rome estimate
indicated the smallest amount yet
put forward from any responsible
authority. Attempts here to buy dis
closed that the market was in an
oversold condition, and with demand
rapidly becoming broad the ensuing
advance was sudden. Opening prices,
which ranged from 1h lower to u
gain, with December 1.41A to 1.41h
and May Las to Las, were followed
by rise to nearly 2 cents above yes
terday's finish.
Corn and oats paralleled the action
of wheat. After opening at h to IS
off, December 1.01k to 1.s11s, the
corn market bulged about cents
and then reacted somewhat.
Oats. started unchanged to " lower.

At first provisions were depressed
by a decline in hog values, but after

TRADE NEWS HELPS.

Heavy Spots.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 25.-Stock
prices generally displayed marked
improvement this week in reflection
of favorable trade news and easy
money rates. Buying, however, was
of highly selective character with
weak spots developing in several
sections of the list, due largely to
unfavorable individual influences.
Railroad shares picked up on the
publication of September earnings
statements, showing increased net in
come due to the sharp reduction in
operating expenses by some of the
principal systems, and to a con-
tinuation of record breaking car
loading statistics. While the prin-
cipal activity took place in low
priced issues with favorable divi-
dend or merger possibilities, there
was a steady demand for the high
grade investment carriers.
Oils Pointing Higher.
Oils again pointed to higher ground
with buying accelerated by the
weekly report of the American
Petroleum Institute showing the fifth
consecutive decline in crude produc-
tion, and by the hardening of gaso-
line prices in certain sections of the
country. Merchandising issues dis
played consistent strength in refiec-
tion of high current earnings with a
marked revival of activity in such
issues as Sears, Roebuck, II. r. NAL
linson, Woolworth, kresge and q.
r. Kinney, exceptionally good buy
ing also was noted in certain auto
mobile issues, particularly Maxwell
"A" and b" which scared to their
highest prices of the year. Coppers
began to discount the possibility of
a heavy increase in foreign domestic
for the red metal, due to the eco
nomic rehabilitation of Germany.
American Smelling and Refining lead
ing the advance in that group.
Weak Spots Develop.
Buying of the steels was restricted
somewhat by the heavy selling of
Bethlehem, which crashed to new
low for the year in anticipation of
the poor quarterly report published
Thursday. which showed net income
of only s102, 167, after fixed charges,
depreciation and depletion reserves.
as against s1,278,277 in the second
quarter and $4,519,S75 in the first
quarter Some encouragement was
derived, however, from the fact that
operations had increased from 81 per
cent in July to 65 per cent at present
Fresh liquidation of American
Woolen followed the omission of
Amoskeag dividend. Sugars were
adversely affected by labor and po-
Htical disturbances in Cuba and pre-
dictions of lower prices here, due to
the surplus of sugar in several Euro
