Internal Foe Menace
 Worse Than Reds"

Washington, July 12-"Is our dan ger of invasion by a foreign foe as great as our danger from the Loebs, the Leopolds, the Cooneys, the ban dits, the condition disclosed by the oil investigations and the booze hounds?" asked Ide c. Sergeant, a Paterson, N. J., educator, at the con vention of the National Education As sociation.
 "Thousands of classes are without teachers or properly trained teachers. This summer at the military camps our government will spend thousands in training young men for war. Why not establish great summer camps for teachers, similar to the military camps, where large numbers of our best young men and women can be brought together to give them train ing, amuse their enthusiasm and aid recruiting for teaching?"
 Mr. Sergeant said that the i'm perialistic idea of organization for American schools, as for American business, is an importation from the old world and has been heavy han dicap to American progress.

COAL MINERS WAGES DON'T AFFECT PRICES

Indianapolis, July 12.-The anti union claim that organized miners wages are responsible for high coal prices is again proven untrue.
 Miners wages in anti-union fields have been reduced but these mines are not operated more continuously than union mines, nor are the anti-union coal owners reducing the market price of their commodity.
 Reports to headquarters of the United Mine Workers show that in the anti-union fields of West Virginia and Somerset county, Pennsylvania, wages are down to 1917 rates, and in some instances below these figures. One West Virginia concern has cut wages to $288 day for underground men and $2SO for work above ground. Similar rates are paid i'll the anti-union sections of Kentucky.
 The United Mine Workers Journal calls attention to the coal owners claim that union wages prevent them from marketing coal. This claim is a trick They have secured wage reduc- tions, but they are not selling coal. Government reports show that in the anti-union fields of Somerset county and in West Virginia production is no greater than in the organized fields, where living wage is demanded.

MILLIONAIRES
 INCREASE; RICH BUY TAX EXEMPTS

Washington, July 12-Income tax returns contradict the claim of Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon that rich men are investing their money in tax exempt securities rather than industry The bureau of internal revenue shows that the Mellon claim Is one of the years great hOaxes. It is stated that 67 individuals report they received net incomes of $1000O00 or more for the year 1925 This more than tripled the 21 millionaires i'll the previous year.
 The bureaus report will undoubted ly injure the campaign Waged by Sec retary Mellon and banking interests to prohibit states, counties and other pO iltical units from issuing tax-exempt securities.
 Friends of these securities insist that the money thus raised IS not taken out of production but is put into Wa terworks, school houses roads, public buildings and other social necessities, They also claim that if the issuance of tax-exempts is stopped the securities | held by banks will increase in value. Opponents of tax-exempts claim that rich. men buy these securities and take their money out of circualtion. This, | they insist, is a "hard- d-tines" factor. 1 The government report shatters this claim.
 The grand total income throughout the entire country was $21 ,336,212,530. This is an increase of $1,75O,O0O,OOO over the previous year. Only Is per cent of all the people filed reports.
 The law provides that unmarried persons having an annual income of $1 ,000 or more and married persons having an income of $2000 or more shall file reports. It is now shown that only six out of every 100 had an in come of at least $1,OOO or 5000 The number reporting was slightly lower than the previous year.

State and Federal health authori-

The Democratic headquarters, under
command of Lincoln Dixon. is not so
confident, but continues to insist that
the Democrats will win in Indiana,
where the klan issue has been hurt
full to the Republican nominee for
governor. The Democrats expressed
a belief, too, that John w. Davis will
carry Kansas.
The marvel of the campaign to
some of the Democrats when talking
confidentially is the strength of the
Coolidge campaign. They cannot un-
derstand, they say, how the Presid ent
has been able to maintain compara-
tive silence on the corruption charges
brought against the Republican ad-
ministration and absolute silence on
the klan issue without antagonizing
more people. But the fact of the
matter is that the President has mad e
friends by not rushing onto the
stump. by sticking entirely to princi-
pies in his speeches over the radio
and by avoiding all personalities.
Fear Good G. 0. p. Weapon.
The Republican campaign has been
aided tremendously by the fear that
the defeat of Coolidge at the polls
means the throwing of the election
into Congress- with period of uncer-
tainty and business depression follow
ing. 1t has had it's effect not only on
business men. but on employees. 1t
has been aided also by the inclusion
of the attack on the courts and the
proposal of Government ownership of
railroads contained in the La Fol-
lette platform.
There has been talk in some quar-
ters of a recent swing to Davis. but
there has been no evidence of it in
the West. The plan of campaign
however, in this part of the country.
except in Missouri, has been to throw
Democratic strength to La Toilette.
The contests for control of the Sem
ate and the House. while secondary in
interest to the presidential race, are
close. The Republicans are hopeful
of winning senatorial seats from the
Democrats and Farmer-Labor party
in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ken
lucky. Colorado, Montana and Okla
homa- The Democrats. on the other
hand, say they will win seats from
the Republicans in Colorado. West
Virginia, Delaware Rhode Island.
South Oak ota, New Mexico and Wyo-
ming. But these are "hopes" for the
most part, and it seems that the con-
troll of the Senate probably will con-
tinue to lie in the hands of the Pro-
gressive block, as it does in the present
Congress. A tremendous Coolidge
sweep, however, might bring about
the election Of some Republican Sena-
tors not now expected to win.

tered about his automobile and thou
sands of townspeople shrieked their

'Ni'io'o5S W NoS. coIih IDidiHt, ocI-
ator La Toilette expressed feelingly
his pleasure at being back among all

Will Receive Returns.
Senator La Toilette, with members
of his family. will receive election
returns in the governors suite in
the capitol Tuesday night.
The appeal for support Of Progress
sive candidates for the House and
Senate" follows:
AT the close Of one of the greatest
campaigns in the history of this
country, 1 appeal to the Progressive
voters to come to the polls on cleo
ton day and vote not only for the
Independent Progressive electors, but
for the Progressive candidates for
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives without regard to party.
THE election of Progressives to
the house and Senate is of vital con-
Germ to the people.
Last session the Progressives held
the balance Of power between the
reactionary Democratic and Republi-
can parties. The voters have in this
election an opportunity to strengthen
this group and to make its work in
behalf of the people more effective.
An increase in the Progressive group
will make it possible for them to force
through constructive legislation in
the interest of the people.
II am confident that the independ-
ent Progressive ticket will be elected
and that Progressive strength in the
House and Senate will be greatly
increased"

NEW YORK, November 3.-The long
trail blazed by John w. Davis since
he began his campaign for the presl-
dency reached it's end tbday. Only a

Valley TO a New York studio, where
his last political address VIII De
broadcast by radio tonight, remained
TO bring his campaign mileage to It's
grand total
All engagements were canceled 10
permit him to work unmolested at
home on his address.
. The plans arranged for the broad
casting tonight call for his arrival at
wEAF studio at 9 o'clock, the be-
ginning of his address at 9:15, eastern
standard time, and its conclusion at
a:45. His campaign started with the
speech of acceptance at Clarkspurs'
w. Va, August 9. and continued al
most without a halt. Travel by rail-
road covered II States and aggre-
gated more than $4,000 miles. In all
ne delivered 230 speeches, not lnclud-
ing the rear platform talks.
Extent of Territory.
The territory canvassed stretched
from the Atlantic to the Rocky Noun

the south.
Attitudes ranged from sea level to
$500 feet.
He was ''wounded' twice during the

His manner of speaking has become

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.


This is the zero hour when canny
politicians of all parties are anxious
ly wondering whether the door is not
open to the possibility of unexpected
election developments. Calvin Cool
ldges victory Is confidently claimed
by the Republican management, con-
ceded by all non-partisan political
writer's, and held probable even by
candid Democrats. But close scru-
tiny of claims, concessions, analyses,
predictions and straw-votes discloses
that in nearly all of them are loop
holes. in the shape of outright or
veiled admissions, that eleventh hour
surprises may be Imminent.
In politics these surprises are
known as 'upsets." They represent
the totally unanticipated. They have
confounded the prophets in presi-
Dental elections more than once. The
most recent upset" and one in most
professional politicians minds at this
moment, was in 1916, when, to the
surprise of virtually the whole coun-
try, Woodrow Wilson, not Charles e.
Hughes. turned out to be the victor.
There are many more elements of
doubt in the 1924 election than there
were eight years ago. when no third
party vote-getter like Robert NJ. La
Toilette was in the field to throw
advance calculations out of gear.
Sees G. o. p. Victory.
This writer shares the widespread
expectation that the Republicans
will win on November 4. His own
estimate Of the electoral college re-
suit is:
Coolidge, 295.
Davis, 1856.
E'cl1atfa
He assigns Davis the solid South,
West Virginia, Maryland. Kentucky.
Missouri, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
He thinks La Toilette may carry sew
en- States-Wisconsin, Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana. Nebraska and Nevada. He con-
cedes Coolidge the rest Of the coun-
try-24 States, exactly half Of the
Union. Davis, by the writer's esti-
mate. gets II States.
But this final appraisal of the sit
uation requires the expression of an
additional belief, namely. that the
most astute politicians in the country
are pretty much at sea No one is
more conscious of the danger of up
sets" than Mr.. Coolidge's sanguine
managers. Seasoned politician that
he is, the President himself realizes
that possibility. 1t will be promi-
issues by radio a non-partisan appeal
to the Nation to do it's duty and vote.
Republican leadersa in their franker
moments, know that not G.. o. p.
vote can be spared tomorrow in any
mistaken spirit of cocksureness.
Conflict of Views.
The writer during the week end re-
ceived prima facie evidence of the
conflict of view prevalent among So
called we'll informed politicians. De-
string reliable indications Of the
Iowa situation, he telegraphed an
outstanding Republican, an eminent
Dem ocrat and Brookhart lieutenant
for final guidance. IT, Republican
replied, Iowa is surely Republican
by 100000 majority, and Democrat
will succeed Brookhart, provided the
Democrats stand by their own man."
The Democrat answered, La Fol-
lette will carry Iowa" Brookhart's S
chieftain said: II think La Toilette
is very likely to carry Iowa, and from
long range it looks as if he would get
nearly all of the Northwest. Brook
hart's friends claim Iowa for him by
100000 majority"
