SPEAKS AT SHAVER HOME.
Candidate Shares in Automobile
Parade at Fairmont.

FAIRMONT, w. Va, August g.
Under the glare of battery of food
lights John w. Davis stood tonight
on the veranda Of the home OF his
friend ard field marshal, Clem /.
Shaver, and told a. crowd that packed
every inch OF space within the sound
of his voice his pleasure at meeting
again with Fairmont friends.
Coming here early in the evening
on a special train of the Monongahela
West Pennsylvania Public Service Co.,
the nominee and a party of Demo-
cratic leaders, personal friends and
newspaper men was taken through
the streets of the city in an automo-
bile parade that ended its line OF
march at the Shaver home.
AS was the case wherever he went
today, the few yards from the auto
mobile to the steps where he spoke
were marked by d succession of hand
claps as he greeted old acquaintances.
There was little effort at ceremony.
Mr.. Shaver introduced former Gov.
Jared Y. Saunders of Louisiana, who
made the speech of introduction OF
the Democratic nominee to his Fair
mont audience. Mr.. Davis, too, spoke
only briefly. A few "reminiscences OF
prominent Fairmont men, most OF
them now dead, whose influence he
felt had shaped his early career in
law and politics, reference to the
steadfast support Marion County had
given him in past years and the ex
preston of pleasure at what he
termed his second homecoming OF the
day made up the speech.
a few minutes were spent at the
house, with more handshaking; then
the nominee was whisked away in an
automobile that took him again to
the special train, on which he re-
turned to Clarksburg

BALTIMORE, August s.-La Fol.
lette leaders here deny that any frio-
tion exists in their party and declare
the movement is progressing smooth
ly and satisfactorily.
Petitions to place the names OF the
La, Follette-Wheeler electors on the
Maryland ballot were put in circu-
lation this week by the Conference
for Progressive Political Action, by
which name the third party is known
in this State. and Robert M La

OF State and the attorney general
asking them TO recognize no other
ticket than that proposed by the

This was done, it was explained,
TO counteract the activities OF an
other faction that seeks to offer a
list Of La Toilette electors and
already has a petition in circulation.
The latter group is headed by Alfred
Holt and Albert N. Jarvis, who claim
the right of leadership of the PRO

Questions At Issue.
Among politicians generally, the
La Toilette vote in this State is an
large extent upon the following:
The extent to which organized labor;
will vote as a unit for its approved I.
candidate. =
The extent to which the ultra-wet
that both Coolidge and Davis ara
dry and that La Toilette is the near
est approach to a wet hope
Both Democrats and Republicans
seem content to let the wet-or-dry
question alone this year, and if the
La Toilette supporters do not bring
the issue forward, it probably will be
given an off year.
Maryland Democrats are hoping
much from the acceptance speech OF
John w. Davis Monday, and believe
that IT will appeal to the conservative
element of the State. Leaders frank
ly admit that the outlook is not over
~ encouraging. There is the La Fol-
lette movement on one side to beckon
to the radical Democrats and the
Coolidge and Dawes combination on
the other side to attract the conserva-
tive element

COP. HAS MET POSTWAR
PROBLEMS, LOWDEN SAYS
Illinois Leader Declares Question
Should Be Paramount Issue
of Campaign.
By the Associated Press.

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, August 9.
Former Gov. Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois, in a statement given out at
his Summer home here tonight de-
Clared that the important issue of
the present campaign is whether or
not the Republican party has success
fully met the postwar problems with
which it has been confronted To
prove his contention that the admin
istration had conquered these prob
lens, the former governor quoted the
reduction in Federal taxes and re-
ductions in Nationl indebtedness
Another issue which will become
more and mere apparent as the cam
pqaign progresses is: Shall due and
ordinary progress under the Consti-
tuition which hitherto characterized
our Nation be sustained?" the state
ment said. There can be no ques-
tion but that Coolidge and Dawes
both stand for this conception of
government l think it is equally
clear that La Toilette and Wheeler
stand for the opposite. They would
substitute public ownership for pri-
vate initiative. The Democratic tick
ct was named with a view to at
tracing both sides Of this funda-
mental difference.
"As the campaign moves forward
the fight will tend to become more
and more a fight between the forces
which stand for constitutional
government and their opposites.
There is no room for compromises be-
tween these two forces"

OHIO CANDIDATES
PUT ON THE GRILL
Questionnaires Ahead of Pri-
maries Seek Attitudes in
Case of Defeat.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 9.-Chair-
man c. r.. Montgomery of the Re-
publican State central committee has
sent out a questionnaire to the candi-
dates for nomination on the Republi-
can State ticket in next Tuesdays pri-
mary election, in which he seeks to
ascertain what their attitude will be
toward the national Republican ticket
and toward the successful candidates
on the Republican State primary
ticket, in case they are defeated
1t Is regarded as having q two-fold
purpose--first to develop whether
there is any sympathy on the part of
any of the candidates for nomination
on the State Republican ticket for the
La Toilette movement, and second, to
put certain candidates for the nomina-
tton for governor, who have made
severe structures upon their opponents,
on record as to whether they contem-
plate boiling the ticket in case one
OF these specially opposed rivals
should win the nomination.
Senator John r. Burke of Elyria,
one of the most active candidates for
the nomination for governor, has
been severely denouncing former
IcN' ii"iiS - laws VINO Is EtthinR
the nomination again, and charac-
terizing his former administration as
extravagant, If not actually reckless,
in the care of public money. Burke
has also been suspected of leaning
toward the La Toilette organization
and he, most of all the candidates for
governor, has been under suspicion of
bolting to La Toilette IL he is not
nominated for governor, and of bolt
ing the Republican State ticket in
case former Gov. Davis should win
the nomination
Dry Republicans have also suspect
ed that an object of the questionnaire
was to test James A. White, former
State superintendent of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon League, who is the dry
candidate for the nomination for
governor. Gov. Davis is regarded as
liberal, and there might be some
question as to whether White would
support him If nominated. But White
answered promptly that he would
support any Of the other candidates
for governor if they were nominated,
and that he was enthusiastically in
the support of President Coolidge and
Gen. Dawes and would work and
vote for them whether he was nom
mated or defeated. None of the other
candidates has replied to the inquiry.
