NEW YORK JUDGE
BACKSLA TOILETTE
Justice John Ford, Repub|i-
can, Denounces His party
and Democratic Opponents.

La Toilette campaign headquarters
made public yesterday a letter to the
Wisconsin Senator from Justice John
Ford of the New York Supreme Court
announcing his intention to aban-
don his former connection with the
Republican party to support the In
dependent presidential ticket this
Fall
Justice Ford attacked the Repub-
lican party as having this year TAX en-
it's stand as the champion of the ra-
pacious forces" while he said the
Democratic national convention
adopted a dishonest. cowardly. and
platitudinous platform and selected a
tried and true servant of plutocracy
as its candidate for President"
Formerly Republican. 1 have
long since lost hope that my old
party would abandon it's subservience
to the predator yinterests and return
to the political faith of Lincoln and
the service of the plain people," the
letter said.
"ChampiOn of Rnpacious FOrces.''
"Bolder than ever, it has this year
taken its stand as the champion of
the rapacious forces which have con-
trolled the National Government dur
ing the present and previous Repub-
lican administrations-the identical
forces against which Roosevelt re-
belled in 1912.
with the reactionary platform and
tory candidates of the Republicans, a
rare opportunity was presented to the
Democratic party for a sweeping vic
tory if only it had the honesty and
the courage to espouse the cause of
popular rights and declare aggressive
war upon the abhorrent powers
yuhi inn q
II hoped for that. Instead the
Democratic convention adopted a dis
honest, cowardly and platitudinous
platform and selected a tried and true
servant of plutocracy as its candidate
for President.
FaSors Curbfng Judiciary.
Under those conditions / hail your
candidacy with deep satisfaction.
Your stand for divesting the
Federal judiciary of its irresponsible
power especially recommends your
candidacy to me.
THE Supreme Court of the United
States is an absolute despotism.
So long as that appointive,
preme power in the Nation. our boasted
democracy is A sham, and the kind of
government Lincoln lived and died to
perpetuate becomes an idle dream.
Believing as I do in the principles
you stand for, / should consider my
self guilty of conduct sounding in
treason should / fail to give my full
support to the cause you represent"
Both Senator Wheeler. the Inde-
pendent vice presidential candidate,
and Senator La Toilette spent yester-
day giving finishing touches to Labor
day addresses which will institute
their campaign appeals to voters.
Senator Wheeler will leave Washington
tonight for Boston, where to-
morrow he will begin six-day stump
ing tour of New England cities.

The first appearance of Our Lady
of Guadalupe is recorded as having
occurred on December IL, 1881. to a
newly-converted Mexican Indian. The
Indian found it impossible to convince
the local bishop of his vision, how
ever, until he met the Virgin again
on the hillside of Guadalupe, and
she caused her picture to be miracu-
lously painted on the rough fiber of
his blanket.
Only then the bishop was convinced,
but he made up for his scepticism
with his later enthusiasm and a great
cathedral was built on the site Of the
Indians vision near Mexico City, in
honor of Our Lady Of Guadalupe.
The blanket. with it's miraculous
