NEW ENGLAND NEXT

La Toilette Will Invade This
 Section Late This Week

Baltimore. Oct. 2s--Wlth the eiec- ton one week away, Senator La Falr lette left hero early today to carry his fight for, the presidency back into New York state. He speaks to- night in Brooklyn, tomorrow nightin Schenectady, and then will invade New England for an address Thurss day night at Boston before turning west for speeches in Pittsburgh and Cleveland:
 The independent candidate launched hts final week of campaign ing here last night with an address ip which he again assailed President Coolidge, referring to him as "the silent servant of the system" which, he contended. controls the govern nent.
 Failure of the president to put into effect the reduction in sugar duties which he said were recom- nended' three months ago by the tariff commission, Mfr. La Toilette declared Is costing American con- sumers one million dollars a week.
 The Wisconsin Senator sought to show that the sugar trust" had been active in bringing about an in- crease in sugar duties, had attempt ed to decrease sugar imports, and are nowexerting pressure to prevent reduction in the sugar tariff rates. / In a statement given out before his departure from Baltimore, Mir. La Toilette declared that the most encouraging feature of our campaign is that the fight for the independents progressive ticket has been financed by the great masses of the people.
 "The campaign has proved a num- Der of things" continued the Sena- tor. "The first is that millions of dollars are not necessary to conduct an honest campaign in 4S states: second, that 1t is not necessary to solicit campaign contributions from wealthy corporations or individuals, who very naturally expect special favors if the campaign is successful, but that the people themselves will furnish the money to advance Q cause in which they really believe.
 If the progressive ticket is elect ed, as I believed 1t will be for the first time in fifty years president will take the oath of office with no obligation to any special privilege or corporation, and fully able to keep the pledges upon which lie was elect ed"
 To conform to a ruling by Attor- ney General Robinson. of Maryland. that the name of every contributor to the La Toilette campaign and the amount given, no matter how small, must be obtained, tickets were pre- pared for last nights meeting selling at from fifty cents to two dollars and bearing lines for the name and . address of the purchaser. Thus the collecting of tho tickets automatical- . ly provided the required record.
