BUTLER SEES
AN ALLIANCE
Between Davis and La Fol-
Iette Leaders in Certain
States to Block Coolidge

81
CHICAGO, Oct. 2o;-conferences
with some. 1S0 state and district
leaders, during TIRE past week have
convinced Chairman William NJ
Butler, of the Republican National
Committee, of "the open alliance
between Democratic and Third party
leaders in certain states, Mr.. Butler
declared in a statement today.
"The open alliance" the statement
said, "of the Democratic and Third
party leaders in certain states to
throw the election into congress and
thus deprive the voters of their right
to elect a president at the polls, has
stiffened the determination to block
this plan by voting for Calvin
Coolidge.
"The program of the Third party
for the destruction of the Constitu-
tion, the virtual abolition of the
Supreme Court, and the public own
ership Of railroads, has aroused the
people to the gravity of this election
and the importance particularly of
their individual votes.
"The nationwide confidence in
Calvin Coolidge and the resultant
determination to vote for him, con-
tinues to be one of the most impress
sive features of this campaign. We
have profited by the character of the
issues which our opponents have in
troduced and the campaigning
methods which they have employed,
"Our opponents are apparently
not altogether happy over the situa-
ton. We are already experiencing
their backfires and l anticipate that
the next two weeks will find the air
thick with charges, accusations and
Misrepresentation aimed to divert
the public attention from the real
issues

received the following statement by
John w. Davis. the party's presiden-
tial nominee. replying to a direct
question whether he favors entrance

of Nations.
''In nv speech of acceptance open
ing the Democratic campaign l ex-
pressed my attitude on this question
with complete frankness. said,
speaking in the sheerest terms OF ma
tional interest. it was not wise or
prudent or safe that Sd nations OF
the world should sit together in con-
ference on world affairs and America
be absent 1 said while this nation
could not join the League of Nations
helpfully unless and until the COM
mon judgment of the American peo-
pie supported such a step. the day
will come in my Judgment when we
should see that both interest and
duty dictated the step.
81 do not believe that the League
of nations is perfect. 1 do not be-
lieve that 1t has assumed its final
form. 1 believe in life and growth
and custom and habit. I am not
concerned even about the terms on
which we shall appear at the coun-
Gil table of the world. Out of that
appearance and out OF such con-
ference in Gods good time will grow
friendly habit among men. the
custom of calm and reasonable dis
cussion and a proper Welding not to
force. not to a super-state. not to
command but in the language of the
Declaration of Independence itself:
To a decent respect for the opinion
of mankind"
