By CHARLES P. STEWART
Nine presidential candidates
are in the field this campaign:
Calvin Coolidge, Republican.
John w. Davis, Democratic.
Robert M. LaFillette, Progress,
sive.
Robert R. Pointer, Peoples Pre-
gressiye.
G. o. Nations, American.
Frank Johns, Socialist-Labor.
Herman P. Faris, Natlonal Pro
hibition.
William j. Wallace, Common
wealth.
William z. Foster, Workers
Party of America.
FUNNY NAMES
The Socialists usually have NOM
mated Eugene V. Debes. Through
his prison term he lost his citizen
ship and is ineligible. The Social
lists Endorsed La Toilette. The
Farmer-Laborites nominated Dun
can Mcdonald, but he withdrew
and the group Endorsed Foster.
Some people may think the party
designations don't all fit, out
whats in a name?"
EUROPE
Secretary of State Hughes has
gone to Europe. He went on
American Bar Association business
but it's believed he'll be drawn in
to the PREPARATIONS tangle there. The
Dawes plan is having hard shedding.
England and France disagree con-
corning it. Germany accuses both
of crookedness. It's suggested
American arbitration might help.
Premier Herriot of France says
the Dawes plan would reduce Ger
many's war damage payments. If
SO, he wants the French debt
(due largely to America) reduced,
too. The old story! Anyway, be-
fore America can be pulled into
the argument the Senate will have
to consent.
TECHNICALITIES NJ
Harry Sinclair and the two Do
henys, senior and junior, indicted
with Albert 3. Fall in connection
with their old deals, are attacking
the indictments, as expected, OIL
technical grounds. They claim I'M
authorized persons were allowed in
grand jury room.
MORE PAY
Trouble with the native troops
in the PHILIPPINES is more of d
strike than mutiny or rebellion.
The Filipino soldiers want the
same pay American soldiers get.
ON THE WARPATH
Natives of Spanish Morocco are
on the warpath worse than ever
and winning fights. This war has
been raging for Is years. For
poor country, like Spain, it's a ter
rlble burden. 1t has cost thousands
of lives. Except the army off
GERS, all Spaniards hate it. Every
time it flares up it threatens revo-
luton. It does now.
REVOLUTION
Brazil has revolution on, ar.
parently bad one, though the
censorship's hushing it up. 1t CEN
tiers in Sac Paulo, Brazil's second
city after Rio de Janeiro, the cap
ital; population about 100000. Sac
Paulo state, also involved, is Bra
ziPs richest, and its populatiin is
best-predominantly white, largely
Italian, somewhat German mixed
with quite a little Anglo-Saxon, too.
Mutually these elements detest the
government Of the negriod north
It's limited the revolt may spread
throughout the republic, but this
is unlikely. Northern and South
ern Brazil sympathize as little as
Haiti and New York state How
ever, a new southern Brazilian re-
public is possible.
A NEW STATE?
The Bolivian province of Santa
Cruz de la Sierra likewise is in
rebellion, DESTROYS of joining south
ern Brazil, which it geographically
adjoins. This may happen if the
southern Brazilian uprising sue
ceeds, marketing the establishment
of new and quite formidable
South American state.
