the Democrats than from those of
the Republicans Senator Walsh
pointed out that the Northwestern
States, In which La Toilette is at
present expected to make q very
strong showing-and to carry those
States-have been in the Republican
list in the past. Necessarily, if the
ELECTORAL votes Of these States go to
La Toilette 1t will mean q loss to
the Republicans, he said.
Reports received here by Demo-
cratic leaders indicate that in Wash
ington-where two years ago they
elected . Democratic Senator-DiIl-
the party has a good chance to carry
the State in November-due in part
to the detection from Republican
ranks to the La Toilette cause.
California Is Claimed.
From California also come reports
that the strength which went to
Roosevelt and Hiram johnson in Bull
Moose days, and to Johnson in later
days, will swing to La Toilette in
large proportion, leaving the Demo-
cratic ticket in a good position to
carry the State with a substan tial
plurality. The Democrats remember
the part that California played in the
election of Woodrow Wilson in 1916
with no little satisfaction.
But whNe they are looking for vic
tories in the Western and Middle
Western States. the Democrats are
speaking hopefully now Of some Of
the Eastern States which have gone
often to the Republicans. Among
these are West Virginia-whfch they
expect Davis to carry largely through
personal popularity and State pride.
Just as Massachusetts, is regarded as
sure for Coolidge. New York State.
particularly If Smith runs for gov

as likely to fall into the Democratic

Smith during the convention in New
York.
While it has been declared by the
Republicans that New England is
sure for Coolidge, the Democrats re-
ports from New Hampshire.

found in the Democratic column,

JAPANESE PROPOSE

BY the Associated Press
TOXIC, July 31.-Outlines of a
new policy for relieving the pres
sure of population in Japan have
been sketched by the Committee on
Emigration and Colonization of the
new Imperial Economic Council ap-
pointed two months ago by Premier
Kiyoura.
The first measures suggested look
toward further populating of Hok-
kaido, the Northern island of Japan
Other measures deal with the send
ing of emigrants abroad. The COM
mittee's suggestions will be placed
before the whole Economic Coun-
met for approval The committee's
report, a lengthy document, is sum-
married. as follows:
Critical to Empire.
"Japan's limited area, together
with her large annual increase of
population, presents q critical prob
lem for the Empire. Japan has no
more important problem than to fnd
an outlet for her surplus population.
as well as abroad. For domestic
migration Hokkiado presents the
greatest opportunities.
"Hokkaido now has a. population of
100000. but has room for more than
100000. A successful policy of emil
grafton abroad requires judicious
financing. Emigrants going abroad
should not be permitted to leave
Japan without sufficient funds for
their proper establishment in their
new homes The government should
establish a special banking organ for
such a purpose. To insure a succese-
full policy of emigration to other
countries, the following suggestions
should be followed:
Problem OF Emigration
Special education of intending emf
grants about the conditions and Gus
toms of the countries to which they
intend to go; establishment of an
emigrant's home; establishment of
special diplomatic policies toward the
countries to which immigrants are
sent; emigration laws should be re-
vised to afford better protection to
emigrants: emigrants overseas should
be exempted from the conscription
law; emigrants after a fixed period
of residence abroad should be en-
couraged to naturalize in the coun-
tries Of their residence; a spe-
cial commission on overseas emigra-
tion should be established; outlets
for overseas emigration must be sought
in lands where the least resistance is
offered
