 MT. Dawes, greeted by a crowd of several thousand at Davenport, his first stop en route to Kansas City, where he will speak tonight, contin- ued his attack on the La Toilette in- dependent candidacy, declaring it has presented the dominant issue of the campaign by its platform declar- ations for congressional veto of su- preme court decisions.
 You talk about the wages, you talk about the business, you talk about-about everything-what is going to become of these men when our government is successfully at- tackled and a change Is made in our form of government and when we are taking away from our govern ment the balance of power in the ju- dicial executive and legislative branches and create government of congress?" he asked. What other Issue is there? What is the use of talking anymore? That is the ques- ton.
 There is one thing have noticed about this campaign--it is not ex- actly what you call a political pet ting party"

PAPER BALLOT LOOMS
 AS NOV. PROBABILITY
Selectman Kerwin and Registrars Confer on
 Unusual Situation

First Selectman Michael T. Ker- win conferred last night with the registrars of voters relative to the manner in which the next elec- tion will be conducted and it was practically agreed that the Aus tralian paper ballot should be em- ployed. There are now five parties who have been allotted places on the machines and petitions of at least three other parties are known to be in circulation. As there are only seven party levers on the ma- chimes, 1t appears likely that the paper ballot must be employed.
 The signatures of 1000 electors are required in Connecticut in order to secure a place on the voting machine. In the event that one of the three parties now circulating 8 petition fails to secure the required number, it will be possible to use the voting machines.

MORE RADICALS COME FROM AMERICAN.B0RN
Than From Foreigners, Bankers Assn. Is Told
 Today

Chicago, Oct. 2.-The great bulk of the radical group in this coun- try comes not from the foreign born but from American born boys who have not had the proper infiu- ence of community leaders, Justice James c. Cropsey of the New York supreme court told the American Bankers association convention to- day. He urged the bankers to give more of their time to organiza- tions training young men and boys in good citizenship, as one Of their greatest responsibilities.
 Boys are naturally hero-wor- shippers and you should not let them find their hero in the pool room," he said. Present to them the community leaders as proper examples. It Is a painful fact too, that religion Is not able to get hold of the growing boy of today. Boys don't go to Sunday school because their fathers don't go.
 "The responsibility for an actlVe interest in the affairs of our gov ernment, as good citizens, is not so great as our responsibility for per. sonal service in the training of our future citizens. The fact that go per cent of our crime is committed by boys or young men Is convinc- ing proof of the situation"
 A letter from Secretary Mellon urged the association to assist in the restoration of the silver dollar to its former importance.
 He advocated the greater use ot silver as a matter of economy. If the treasury could restore sSo,ooo'- 900 silver circulation in continental United States and $10,000,O00 in the territories. the letter said, a get annual saving of some $2S,O0o might be realized through reduction of the present replacement ex- pense involved in paper circulation.

Giant Manager Doubts Existence of Gambling Ring - Thinks Al. legged Bnbers Only Dumb" :"

New York, Oct. 2.-John J. Me- Graw, Manager of the Giants. after & meeting of the team this after noon, said he did not think that either Dolan or O'Connell was M- cious or that either had any connec- ton with a gambling ring. "They were dumb" McGraw declared.
 T cannot understand why these two men did what they did," Me- Graw continued, "when the chances were 100 to 1 that New York would win the pennant. The only explana- ton I can give is that they're cou- pie of saps. If you search the country over you probably couldn't find two bigger ones."
 O'Connell at Meeting.
 O'Connell attended the meeting of the club, held at the Polo Grounds, but Dolan was not there. McGraw announced that both would be ban ned as soon as he had received of- ficial notice of Commissioner Lan- dis decision. This was taken to mean that O'Connell probably would leave for Washington with the Giants this afternoon.
 Don't Believe Story.
 Francix x. McQuade. treasurer of the Giants, said he believed O'Con- nell had implicated Kelly, Frisch and Young because he (O'ConnelD realized he was ''in bad' and had tried to put part of the blame on others.
 Players Sympathetic.
 '"The attitude of the players to- ward O'Connell this morning." Me- Graw- asserted, seemed to be one of sympathy rather than resentment. At the meeting I tried to pep the boys up so that the incident would have no. effect on the series. But of course I can't tell how it will af- feet either the players or the pub lic."
 McGraw explained that the affair was entirely out of the hands of the New York club, having been taken over by Commissioner Landis who had made his decision. The Giant officials, the manager said, had CO., operated with the commissioner in the inquiry. which was not conclud- ed until o'clock last night.
 All Three Deny It.
  and Kelly, had denied any implica- ton in the attempted bribery. Frisch McGraw said, will start the opening game of the series at second base and K fly probably will be used at first. Frisch was out of the closing game of the season because of an injured finger.
