DECLARES CONSTITUTION
DOES NOT WORRY VOTERS

By the Assoca ted Press
CHICAGO. October 1.-Amerlcans
of TODAY are not much concerned
q bout the Constitution" said GOV.
ceorpe = Silzer of New Jersey in
an address here last night in behalf
of the Democratic national tlcket.
Their greatest concern, he continued,
is how to earn an honest living,
how to educate their children ana
how to save something for old age
People desire to govern them-
selves" the speaker asserted, be
cause they do not want to be op-
pressed by government
There is no greater protection to
the American citizen in his liberty
than the right of trial by jury. In
the matter of prohibition enforce
nent. A mans home is no longer his
castle and the protection which the
Constitution gives us against uh-
lawful searches and seizures is con-
stantly violated.
Gov. Silzer made his first ref
erence to the presidential campaign
when he alluded to the provisions
of religious tolerance contained In
the Constitution. John w. Davis. ne
said, has clearly set out the dan-
gers from religious intolerance and
has clearly and courageously stated
that it has no place in American life
and institutions. Mr. Coolidge, on
the other hand has failed to make
any declaration on the subject. Mr..
Coolidge is willing to remain silent
on a matter of such vital Importance e
in order that he may not lose votes
