MELLON
 ON HOME GROUNDS
La Toilette Headed for Pitts bursh After Speech in Boston

La Toilette Special En Route to Pittsburgh, Albany, N, T., Oct. S1.- Senator Robert M. La Toilette, in- dependent candidate for president was headed westward again today to challenge the Coolidge adminis- tration in Pittsburgh, home city of Secretary Mellon, before invading Ohio once more to wind up his cam paign with an address Saturday night in Cleveland. He speaks in Pittsburgh tonight.
 The Wisconsin senator was on his way from Boston where in an ad- dress last night he attacked the for eign policy of the Harding Coolidge and recent administrations.
 Commenting on his brief stay in Massachusetts, MT. La Toilette in a statement today said that "the re- ception accorded the progressive is- sues and the reports from the man. agers of the campaign in Massa- chusetts convince me that the pro- gressive tide is rising in New Eng land as 1t Is in other parts of the country"
 "The breakdown of the transpor- tation system in that section of the country" he added, has aroused the people to a realization that the progressive offer the only hope in this campaign for a solution of this vital problem.
 '"The republican propaganda con- corning prosperity falls on deaf ears in New England. The wide spread unemployment which has prevailed there since Calvin Coolidge became president through the death of Presi dent Harding has convinced the workers in New England that they have nothing to gain by the election of the republican ticket.
 "The cotton mills the woolen mills the shoe factories in fact all the in- dustries in New England are shut down or running far below capacity. This has apparently been brought about by an overdose of protection and the breakdown of the transpor- tation system. @'
 "The workers are convinced that neither the republicans or the demo- crats are free to deal with these prob lens in a constructive way and are turning to the independent progress sive ticket as their only salvation.
 Devoting a considerable portion O his last nights speech to the occu' patton of Haiti by American Marines Senator La Toilette declared that this action was taken mot to mak' the world safe for democracy but tC make Haiti safe for American bank CTS"
 And in making Haiti safe fol American bankers" he added, wv have killed between two and thre' thousand people, whose only offens was the offense of defending thei
