The President delivered his labor

labor-union and non.union alike
who had come to pledge their sup.

Mr.. Coolidge showed, with elab-
crate statistical compilations, that
American labor earns more with
greater purchasing power than does
labor in any other nation of the
world. He cited the protective tariff,
restrictive immigration, operation
of the Federal reserve system. dis
solution of the unemployment era
OF 1921, and the Governments
economy and taxation programs, as
responsible for this condition.
The President then declared him.

that, taking the entire body OF

Would Let Hair Grow
If Griffs Win
Pennant

EVANSVILLE, Md, Sept. /.
Friends of William H. Anglin,
Of this place, now are getting
a great deal of entertainment
reminding him of his statement
that should the Nationals win
a flag he would never again
get a hair cut.
When a young man Anglin
suffered his locks to grow long,
believing, he said, that the eff
feet gave him the appearance
of being intellectual, but in late
years he has regularly parted
with his luxuriant growth.
Asked recently by an old
friend why he had parted with
the heavy growth that had for
merly been his, Anglin replied
that he had become convinced
that short hair was more sani-
tary and that the only condi-
ton upon which he would again
permit his locks to run Wild
was that Washington win the
American League pennant.

Senator Speaks on Historic
Boston common-Urges
Election of La Toilette
BY KENNETH CLARK,
international News Service.

BOSTON, Sept. SENATOR Bur-
ton K. Wheeler of Montana, open
ing his Independent Vice-Presi-
Dental campaign here today,
charged the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties with being under
the control Of one single domi-
snant power-WaH Street." and
declared that only through the
election of the La Toilette ticket
could the Government be restored
20 the viii Of the people"
Speaking in historic Boston
Commons, Wheeler pledged him
self and Senator La Toilette, if
elected, ito drive corruption. out
Of the National Government" He
called upon "progressives" every
where to break the "power of
predatory wealth in Governmental
affairs so that economic and in
dustrial freedom may be estab-
Gshed as securely as political free
dom was established by the pro-
gressives in 1916"
Typical Wheeler Speech
This was a typical Wheeler
speech, reminiscent Of the heated
days in the Senate during the oil
and Department of Justice investi-
cations.
1t was filled with bitterly sarcas-
tic darts, aimed chiefly at Presi-
Dental candidates of the Republican
and Democratic parties and at Wall
Street, whose wishes, he charged,
had been acceded to by the old
parties in their platform and their
nominees.
President Coolidge, Charles G..
Dawes and John w. Davis were
singled out by name for Whceler's
attack.
Transcending all others, ECO.
nOnnic and Industrial freedom" is
the issue of the campaign, Wheeler
told his audience.
Besides this. the tariff. foreign
relations, farm relief, railroad regu.
lation, prohibition, conservation all
sink into insignficance, he added.
THE underlying and all-embrac-
ing issue is this:
Shall the control Of the Govern
ment be left in the hands of the
small group that has cornered the
national wealth and exploited the
people. that has dictated our foreign
and domestic policies to its own
financial gain, that has corrupted
those who should administer JUS

duced our executives and their cab
