DEMOCRATS READY
 ID REFUTE STORY
Get Additional Evidence in the
 Dausherty Case

Chicago. Sept. 23,--Copies of let ters purported to have been written by Former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty and Thomas B. Feld- CT, New York attorney for Gaston Means, were issued by democratic western headquarters here last night 10 add to the Daugherty- Means de- velopments in tho aftermath of the Wheeler senate committee investi- gation of the former attorney gen. eral.
 One of the letters which the dem- ocratic announcement said was to be printed in eastern papers today purported to be from Daugherty 10 Fielder and was quoted in the demo- cratic announceemnt as follows:
 "One of the most important things that could be done now would be 10 have Means tell the true story of Duckstein so that l can have 1t. That having been done by Means, cer- tain man in Washington will insist upon Duckstein telling the truth as to how they came to tell the story they did. It will be of inestimable value and benefit if done immediate ly. Take this up please, immediate ly."
 Duckstein was a witness before the senate committee and his wife was one of the feature witnesses.
 Another letter by Daugherty to Fielder, the democratic announce ment said, urged that Fielder use his influence to have Means repudiate all his testimony before the senate investigating committee. This letter is dated August 2S, 1924, at Mount Sterling, Colo, the announcement says, and signed in ink by Daugh- erty. A paragraph of the letter which it is said Daugherty empha- sized by brackets in ink was quoted:
 "The people to whom he lied to help out today will not be in much of position to deliver anything to him. Practically all of the wit hesseS nave sent retractlonS 10 me. I have them"
 Together with a repudiation by Means of the statement which Daugherty gave out over Means sig nature last night, the democratic au- nouncement says that Means is pre- pared 10 testify that w. O. Duck stein, mentioned in the Dsugherty letter, approached him several weeks ago and urged him 10 issue repu- diation of his testimony against Daugherty, The statement also brings out the Means "curbstone conversation" with a "person for merly closely connected in an affi- cial capacity with the former Hard ing administration in front of the famous house on K street"

ENGLAND APPROVES
 DEFENSE POLICY
Gives Reluctant Endorsement to
 League Alliances x
By The Associated Press.

Geneva, Sept. 23.-- Great Britain has come around, even if reluctantly, to the position of approving regional defensive alliances like those made by France in central Europe as an additional guarantee for the protec- ton of national territorial integrity
 The proposed protocol on afbitra- ton and security which was submit- ted to the disarmament committee of the league of nations assembly yesterday will automatically bring sanctions into play against any ag- gressor state, but France, with the memory of 1914 wildly before her and with active support from Bel-> gium, fought tenaciously for the in- clusion of regional alliances and agreements in the general protocol.
 The British delegates now have admitted that the absolute prohibit ton of the enforcement of sanctions unless and until these have been de- cided upon by the league council largely lessens the British objections 10 special accords, when they opera ate as part of the machinery of the entire protocol
 Conference In June
 The league's military experts hope so to prepare the program for the disarmament conference to be held next June that the delegates will have a definite scheme before them when they arrive here for the dis armament conference.
 Newspaper dispatches Indicating that the United States is likely to attend the conference have created the greatest satisfaction. in Geneva.
 Discussion of revision of the draft protocol on arbitration and security is continuing today.

sideration of her husbands candidacy,
Mrs Robert NJ. La Toilette, in an ad-
dress at a political rally here yester-
day. declared the Independent presi-
Dental nominee had long been VIC
tim of MISREPRESENTATION and unde-
strved criticism.
Mrs La Toilette spoke for more
than an hour in d chautauqua audi
torium. Arrangements for the rally
had been made by Mrs. Sally Burch
of Washington, who was active in
the campaign for the woman suffrage
amendment. A telegram was received
yesterday. she said, from an official
of the Foreign Missions Board of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. which
controls the auditorium. that it could
not be used on Sunday for political
meeting. Mrs. Burch, however, took
the position that contract had been
made, proceeded with her plans, and
no opposition was encountered. Sem
ator Ladd of North Dakota delivered
"a brief speech.
As Mrs. La Toilette traced her hus-
band - political career, explained his
position on various campaign issues
and assailed the Harding Coolidge
leT Ildue up
largely of women, listened in silence
She spoke of Harding as a kindly
man who erred in the selection of
some of his cabinet officers. and as
serted that President Coolidge has
the rich mans point of view" and
Is utterly out of sympathy with the
workingman."
If YOU want a human Government"
urged Mrs. La Toilette, turn To those
whose record shows they sympathize
with the mass. If you think Mr.
La Toilette is a dangerous man, vote
for some one you think is not I'm
not afraid of YOUR Judgment if you
Will look at the issues and candidates
free from prejudice.
MIR. La Toilette always has been
practical. The object he has sought
always has been within reach. 1t has
been the next step ahead. SO il hap
pens that when many of the reforms
be has worked for are finally written
into law. as many of them have been.
they seem natural and right and one
