TRAINING SCHOOL
TO Be Permanent

the splendid attendance Of men and
women from the towns many miles
away. For instance, there are the
people who have been coming in
every night by automobile frem
Ashburn, some So miles away. These
people have attended every session
except the one last night Leaving
Ashburn in a heavy rain, they were
ditched somewhere ron the road
spending most of the night there.
However, we have been advised tins
morning that they will attend to-
nigh, coming in by train.
In the Ashburn party are Mr.. and

"Nor are the Ashburn people the
only ones who have shown their

com'a; ev.Dy right from c,llav]ie,

ance of Americas people.
"The attendance has daily run
from 135 to $50 and because of the
interest and enthusiasm steps will
be taken tonight to make the school
a permanent annual feature.
"Another feature that is crafty
ing is that many of those enrolled
are teachers--men and women wnt

WATSON ASSA|LS
DAV|SANDBRyAN
Senator, in New Hampshire,
Calls Combination "lm-
possible MesaIIiance."
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LACONIA, N. H, July 1S. - The
Democratic ticket, Davis and Bryan,
was described as an impossible
mesalliance" here last night by Sena-
tor James E. Watson Of Indiana in a
speech opening the Republican cam
paign in New Hampshire.
Judging by the usually accepted
standard" said Senator Watson,
Davis is an ultra ra-conservative while
Bryan is an extreme radical. Davis
is safe and sound, while Bryan's mind
is running over with fads and va
garies. If they are elected, will the
dog wag the tail or the tail wag the
dog?
rs Bryan to run on the same plat
form with Davis, or is each to run on
his own platform? Is Davis to stand
on the Democratic platform In the
East, and Bryan on his own platform
in the West? Or are they simply 60
ing to run, without reference to any
platform
Charges Rndfcnlism.
To support his charge of radical
ism" against the Democratic vice
presidential nominee, the Indiana
senator quoted Gov. Bryan as having
declared for currency imitation to give
the agricultural interests a better
price for their products; Tor govern
ment operation of coal mines to force
a 25 per cent reduction in coal prices;
for control of the oil industry by State
governments, until oil prices nave
been reduced; for repeal of the trans
portation act; for 80 per cent reduc-
ton in freight rates, with govern
ment operation as the alternative, and
against all "entanglinS alliances
abroad.
The idea Of inflation," said Sena-
tor Watson, "seems to be an oosesslon
with the Bryan family. Manifestly,
if the price of agricultural products
was advanced by the process of cur
rency imitation, all prices would be
correspondingly advanced and the
farmer would be no better off.
Prices and Wages.
How is the mine price of coal to
be reduced 25 per cent unless wages
are correspondingly reduced? Will the
coal miner consent to 25 per cent
reduction in wages? Does John w.
Davis believe in the Bryan plan?
The whole price-fxing policy by
governmental action is fatuous and
misleading, as every experiment at
tempted in the world in the last 5000
years conclusively proves"
Declaring Mr.. Bryan's stand against
entangling alliances amounted to a
declaration against dragging the
United States into the league of ma
tions," Mr.. Watson asserted that the
discrepancy of view between the two
nominees became fully apparent when
it was recalled that Mr.. Davis was a
devout follower of Woodrow Wilson
and an earnest advocate of the policy
of our entering the league without
reservations"

DAVIS WOULD BE 2Ist LAWYER
AMONG 30 PRESIDENTS OF u. S.
Legal Profession Only One of Many of Traditional
Presidential Trappings of Democrats
Nominee.

If John w. Davis is elected Presi-
dent he viii be the 21st lawyer to oc-
cupy the White House. Only nine
Presidents so far have not been mem
bcrs of the bar.
The average age at which men have
been elected President was 58. Davis
Is only 81. Roosevelt was 43 when he
succeeded Mckinley, and he was the
youngest President. William Henry
Harrison was 67. Davis is six years
younger than his running mate,
Charles w. Bryan.
Twenty of the 20 Presidents were
college men. and as Mr.. Davis Is a
graduate of Washington and Lee Uni
versity he would add another to the
list of the sheepskin holders
The father of Mr.. Davis was a
lawyer, as were the fathers of four
other Presidents-JohnQ Quincy Adams.
William Henry Harrison, John Tyler
and William II. Taft.
The best chance to become Presi-
dent, however. is to be farmer s
dents were sons of farmers. and
farmer boys have beat all others in
the race to the White House.
Next to the farm the best stepping
stone to the presidency apears to
have been the governorship of a
State Coolidge. Wilson, Roosevelt,
Mckinley, Cleveland, Hayes and John
son were State governors.
All of the Presidents except two
Van Buren, and RooSevelt-were OF
British extraction. Jefferson, how
ever, was the only Welshman and
Davis ancestry can also be traced
back to Wales.
Majority Cean-Shaven.
Davis has plenty of presidential
precedents in being clean-shaven. In
recent years no President has worn
extensive facial adOrnments. BenJa-
min Harrison was the last occupant
of the White House to wear a beard.
The first was Lincoln, and his eX-

If Mr. Davis should be elected he

The La Nacion informant added
that, according to data obtained In

although they do not number more
than 10000 men. are very much
stronger than the government forces,
in view of the support given them by

have obtained the promise of the
state troops that they would observe
neutrality in the present insur-
rection and would not march against
the forces now holding Sac Paulo.
This is exactly what occurred
when State President Borges at
tempted to send troops to aid the
federal government" the American
said. The commanding officers of
the state troops refused to go to the
aid of the government. The govern
ment has no faith in it's federal
force, some of whom have already
gone over the revolutionists. 1t fears
to send the troops against the
rebels because of other probable
desertions. 1 am sure the federal
forces will not be able to crush the
revolution, which, if it does not end
with a rebel victory, will terminate
in a friendly pact. This is the only
hope left for the government"

men involved in the 1922 revolt. Ger
tain reforms are also asked.
Most Of the information thus far
available seems to indicate that the
federal bombardment of Sac Paulo
aroused local patriotism and united
the population in support of the pro-
visional government and defense OF
the city. 1t is pointed out that, from
n military standpoint, the terrain
above Sac Paulo, which is hilly,
thickly wooded and with relatively
few roads, makes for the prolonga-
tion of fighting. Military operations
are difficult for the attacking army,
which will need greatly superior
forces to do more than besiege the
city.
American Gives Impressions.
An American business man, inter-
viewed by La Nacion's Montevideo
correspondent upon the formers ar
rival from Rio de Janeiro aboard the
steamer Andres, stated that the
Brazilian federal forces are not in
a position to crush the Sac Paulo
revolt and the most the federal gov
at some agreement with the rebels"
The American, who is a repre-
sentative of a United States COM
pany doing business with Brazil, is
quoted as saying that President
Bernardes of Brazil has already made
several propositions to the revolu-
tionists for a compromise. On July
II. it was said, the president sent
two emissaries to arrange an armis-
tice and was answered by the de-
mand for his Immediate resignation.
1t was stated that President Ber-
nardes is patriotically ready to sac
rifice himself for the sake of national
unity and only demands from the
revolutionists respect for the con-
stituted state authorities and federal
courts, without which guarantee he
considers it harmful to leave office.
Opposition to Omcers.
In the interview the American said
that the insurrecton was both of a
political and military character and
had Its origin in the opposition
shown to military men when Presi-
dent Bernardes assumed power" Con-
tinuing, the interview states:
This opposition has been main
tained and accentuated during Presi-
dent Bernardes' two years in office
The fact that the outbreak occurred
at Sac Paulo is explained when it is
known that it is one of the strongest
states in Brazil, where military men
opposing the president have the
strongest foothold.
'"The rebels do not bear any ami
mostly against State President Da
Campos. In fact, they offered to per-
nit him to retain his post, but Da
Campos voluntarily retired. The reb-
els are in possession of Sac Paulo
City, which nobody dares dispute"
