YOUNG VOTERS
 MAY HOLD KEY
tContinued from Page Onel

in 1920, but in the four intervening years there has been nationwide organ ization activity among them and no one knows how they will vote or how many will turn out in response to this activ- ity, They are complicating factor in politics as every male politician will testify, because of the heavy emphasis they lay on particular questions such as prohibition, the League of Nations, and special issues of particular interest to women, such as abolition of child labor and welfare legislation.
 A third big source of uncertainty this year is the negro. vote. Negroes have come up from the south by the thou sands, attracted by big wages, better living conditions and greater freedom from race re 'trictiops. But simultane- ously the Klan moved north also and now in Indiana, where the negfees are said to have an almost decisive vote, the Klan has seized control of the re- publican organization. The Klan is ae- tive in Missouri, Ohio, and other states where the negro vote has become an irl- portant factor. Whether these negroes will adhere to their republican leanings, or vote solely with an eye on the Klan, is one of the biz uncertainties.

SEN. LA TOILETTE
 IN NEED OF CASH
Progressives Hope II Raise Campaign Fund ;
 By. Medal Sales

WASHINGTON, Aug. 46.--Ample funds to maintain q nationwide ac- tive campaign under high pressure up to election day in support of the in dependent presidential ticket are ex- pected after next week, according to an announcement made here today at the La Toilette headquarters.
 Such delay as there has been in per fecting organization and in the prepa- ration and distribution of campaign material is attributed by, La Toilette managers to lack of money There will be a material change in these condi- tions, they confidently believe, within the next 10 days.
 Their expectation in this regard is based, in measure, upon the success which they predict will mark the dis tribution of, small bronze tokens bear ing the ikenesses of the two candi- dates, La Toilette and Wheeler, in connection with the remittance from some of the organizations supporting the ticket.
 Explaining that their resources for conducting the campaign are dependent upon voluntary contributions of indi- viduals, the managers have decided to encourage them by having struck off in miniature reproductions of plas- ter placque recently made by a we'll known artist, which will be given to every one who sends in $1 or more.
 The tokens, which win be ready for distribution next week, will be pre- pared in two mountings, one with q pin ito be worn by men upon coat lapels, and the other with a loop, through which women may run a rib bon.

KID M'COY GAME
 IN GRIM BATTLE
fContinued from Pare Onel

the safest thing to say when arrested is nothing at all. But he forgot all that in his excitement He wanted to tell his story to somebody and he chose his enemies, the cops, for his gushing condolences.
 Asa Reyes, the district attorney whose office has been so busy for the last few years, investigating the misde- meanors, grave and gay, of the motion picture colony, has called three alienists to make observations of Mccoy. He began to suspect that McCoy's attorney would try tossplit hairs as the counsel for the young millionaire killers have been doing in the Franks murder trial in Chicago. And if Mccoy calls doc tors to say he is as wild as deer, Reyes will have some to describe the kid as normal, sane, intelligent man. Dctors Victor Parkin, Louis Weber and Paul Bowers win do the head feeling for the state.
 Every act of Mccoy shows that he is not insane" Reyes said. ''He is in possession of all his faculties and our alienists will prove it" This was an interesting glimpse of the processes of alienists- Reyes foretelling the result of the examination before it has been completed.

SCIENTIFIC FEATS ENVIED BY JAPAN
American And English Expeditions Cause Nip

OSAKA, Japan, Aug. 16.-(By As sociated Press. )-Japan's inactivity in tthe exploration of the Asiatic continent, in view of an American expedition under Roy Chapmen Andrews to seek the first home of man in the uplands of Mongolia, and General G. D. Rruce's British expeditions attempt to scale Mount Everest, has drawn in editorial attack from the Osaka Mainichi, r:ie of Japan's greatest newspapers.
 This inactivity, the Mainiehf asserts, is especially culpable at this time, when the American exclusion jaw has made 1t desirable for Japan to seek closer re- lations with her fellow Asiatics.
 Our young men will 20 in great numbers to the usual summer resorts this summer" says the Mainichi. ''but we regret to note that no Japanese are planning to take part in the great exploring adventures that are offered. We envy the Americans and British their bold scientific undertakings at great expense. They are not afraid of hardship and danger.
 Since Congress adopted the exclu- sion clause, some Japanese have raised a vigorous propaganda for an Asiatic federation, with the support of some Chinese and Indians. These peoples seek Japan's leadership. These peoples duty to lead these other col0red races to racial prosperity and welfare, but we must not be led astray by big names. First we must foster our na. tional strength, strengthen the ties with our brother races in. Asia and assist them in the advancement of Asiatic civilization. Our millionaires must contributions to this end, and our scientists must enlist in tEe cause"
