BY DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Mr.. Kincheloe Addresses McDon-
Ald-Washington-B Blackburn-Davis-
for-President Group.

Representative David H. Kincheloe
of Kentucky and Joseph p. Tumulty
secretary of the late Woodrow Will
son, spoke at the meeting of the
Mcdonald Washington Blackburn :
Davis for President Club last night
at 1915 Massachusetts avenue. 1t
was Kentucky night and the mem
bers of the Kentucky State Society
and other Kentuckians were special
guests of the club.
Armed with statistics, Mr.. kincheloe
attacked "the Republican claims OF
a prosperous and economical admin
iStration during the past three and a
half years.
More than 400 bank failures in the
last six months and 100000 farmers
in bankruptcy during the Republican
on the price paid for the Republican
victory of 1920" he declared.
Touching upon the subject of cor
ruption. Representative kincheloe
contrasted "the recent scandals in
high places with the fact that 20 in
vestigating committees appointed by
the Republicans, after they came into
power, to comb the country for evil
dences of Democratic misdeeds in the
conduct of the war could not find a
single tainted dollar in all the mil
lions that passed through the hands
of Democratic officials"
He reviewed the persecution of
Woodrow Wilson by Republican lead
ers" and declared that 1000 years
from now the name of Woodrow Will
son would be still blazoned in letters
of gold when those of his opponents
would have been long forgotten" He
predicted the overwhelming victory
of John W. Davis. who would carry
on the great ideals of Woodrow Will
son."
The appearance of Joseph p. Tum-
ulty at the meeting created ap-
plause when Mrs. Moran, who pre-
sided at the meeting, introduced him
as the man who loved Woodrow Will
son to the end" Mr.. Tumulty in his
extemporaneous remarks paid high
tribute to his late chief and his great
ideal, the League of Nations.
The greeting to the Kentuckians
was given at the opening of the meet
ing by Mrs. Rose Gouverneur Hoes on
behalf of the club and she paid a
tribute to the State and its people.
Mrs. James C. Cantrill, national COM
mitteewoman from Kentucky, and
vice chairman of the Speakers Bureau
of the Democratic national commit
tee, responded for Kentucky. as did
William Jennings Price, president of
the Kentucky State Society.

native of Kentucky with a soprano
voice of unusual clearness and sweet
ness. Her selections were Come to

La TOILETTE SURE OF WISCONSIN
VOTE, DESPITE REPUBLICAN HOPE

and is demanding a host of speakers
be sent into the State.
The La Toilette party controls so
absolutely the Republican machinery
of Wisconsin that it could easily have
named La Toilette men as the Repub
lican presidential electors. But it
was decided after some debate among
themselves that La Toilette electors
should be chosen to go in the Inde-
pendent column of the ballot and that
real Coolidge supporters should be
named as the Republican electors
this was done here a few days ago.
But the La Toilette supporters picked
the Coolidge Dawes electors without
consulting the "stalwarts." much to
the chagrin of the latter. Those
picked were all dyed-in-the- wool
stalwarts and Coolidge men, to be
sure. But they were so stalwart and
such war-shouters that the La Fol-
lette people believe they cannot possi-
bly, receive the support of many of
the Republicans who have been in
the custom Of voting for La Toilette.
The Republicans say this was a low
trick; the Progressives say it was
good politics.
In support of their cfaim that La
Toilette will lose a great many votes
because ne Is no longer running DIS
a Republican, the stalwartS say that
Senator La Toilette and his machine
have never been able to put over any
candidate running on an Independent
ticket though they have tried to do
so, notably in the case of Jim"
Thompson who ran for the Senate
against Senator Lenroot four years
ago.
The entire strength of the La Fol-
lette machine-which reaches into
the grass roots throughout the State
and is the work of many years
development-was placed behind
Thompson. But he failed. To this
the Progressives say, Yes, but if Sem
ator La Toilette himself had been
running there would have been very
different tale" And then the La Fol-
lette men point to the huge majority

The sending of Dawes to M.lwau-
kee to attack La Toilette was, per-
haps, gesture, carrying OF the war
into the enemy's country, which is
good policy in war or politics. But it
is said here that the effect has not

lican ticket
Socialists Strong.
The Socialists-who have indorsed
the candidacy of La Toilette and
Wheeler-are strong in Milwaukee.
Victor Berger is the member of Con-
gress from this district. y Socialist
sits in the mayors chair, and has for
many years. But outside of Milwau-
kee County the Socialists are not
strong in Wisconsin. although the
State is popularity supposed to be very
Socialistic. So the "stalwarts" are
pinning their hopes also on the fact
that Fa Toilette is now the Socialist
party's nominee for the presidency
and that this fact will deter many OF
the solid Republicans in other parts
of the State from voting for the In
dependent Progressive ticket. Ihe
Socialists themselves have put out
posters which declare that La Fol
lette is the simon pure SoclaliSt, can

Anomalies Apparent.
The political situation in Wisconsin
presents strange anomalies. For ex-
ample, the chairman of the Republi-
can State committee is Robert M.

and one of his campaign managers
There is today no Republican national
committeeman from Wisconsin. Ira >.

DAWES SPECIAL TRAIN. EN-
ROUTE TO CHICAGO, AT CHERO-
EEE, Iowa. September 20.-Charles
G. Dawes, Republican nominee for
Vice President, travelled homeward
today. with short addresses sched
uled for Dubuque, Iowa, and Galena,
ILL.,, after having sounded the key
note of his party's campaign in South
Dakota in speech last night at
Sioux Falls.
Mr.. Dawes delivered his address
before an audience that packed the
Sioux Falls Coliseum, even though
all seats had been removed from the
floor to accommodate more people
He had prepared an address dealing
altogether with agricultural ques-
tions. but having been informed by
party leaders that the La Toilette
movement offered strong opposition
to Republican success in South Da-
kota, he prefaced his agricultural
discussion with half-hour attack
on the La Toilette candidacy
There has sprung up in this cam
paign a great issue-the greatest
issue that can come to the country
the issue of the Constitution of the
United States" he declared. and then
ne proceeded to read the plank in the
La Toilette platform faToTinS cor
gressfonal veto of Supreme Court
decisions.
Attack on Constitution.
An attack has been made on the
Constitution of the United States by
Robert NJ. La Toilette backed by a
group, the greatest conglomeration
of which are those who oppose the
existing order of things and who. in
the words of Eugene v. Debs, are
massed behind the red flag" he con-
unued. Senator La Toilette would
by one blow destroy government of
balanced power that We now have
and give us a government by Con-
gress"
Mr.. Dawes declared carrying out of
the La Toilette platform pledge for
congressional veto of judicial dcci-
sions would place in jeopardy the in
alienable rights guaranteed to every
citizen under the Constitution, and
he aroused applause by asserting:
The people of the United States
know that President Coolidge stands
on the rock of the Constitution. The
reason that President Coolidge has
been decorated a statesman is be-
cause they believed he is trying to
do the right thing"
Discussing the agricultural stu
alton, he asserted that the farmers
of the West are tired of the promises
or politicians just as were the people
of Europe after five years of listen
ing to the political demagogues"
He appealed for removal Of the
agricultural question from politics
and criticized John w. Davis, Demo-
cratic presidential candidate, for hav-
ing discussed the question in his
Omaha speech, chiefly as a political
problem" and declared that the only
real relief could come to the farm
ers through consideration of the
whole question by non-partisan,
impartial commission as proposed by
President Coolidge.

 Travel was resumed, however, in 1924, and MT. Redden is authority for the statement that his company would have made $2O0,O00 last win ter had they been equipped with suf- ficient planes.
 T am convinced by my survey, MT. Redden said, "that there is a great need for seaplane service from Florida cities to Havana and I be- lieve my company will operate three available planes this winter, so as not to let the service die out and by the following season our fleet of new planes will be available"
 MT. Roden explained that the new planes were of the type adopted by the great commercial lines of Europe, carrying 30 to 50 passengers, and capable of making the trip from Key West to Havana, distance of 90 miles, in 50 minutes, and from Mi ami to Havana in two hours.

MODIFIED RESoNATORS, INVENT ED BY LONDONER-ALR
 CAN SAY ANOTHER"

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Artificial rep reduction of the human voice, enabl- ing dumb persons to speak, is practi- cally assured by an invention now being perfected by Sir Richard A. s. Paget, a London lawyer, who for many years has been interested in inventions.
 Models, already designed by Sir Richard, by proper manipulation, have been made to pronounce the words mother" weather" and Harry" AS soon as further modi- fled resonators have been construct ed the inventor confidently expects to be able to reproduce all the vowel and consonant sounds of the English language.
 Sir Richard first constructed plasticine resonator, shaped in imi- tation of the human mouth cavity, to which he added an artificial la rynx, which consisted of rubber strip fixed edgewise across a flatten- ed air passage formed in paraffin wax and encased in plasticine.
 Various models based on the same principle, with slight notifications in each case, secured the reproduc- tion of several vowel sounds. Others reproduced consonant sounds, and finally model was constructed with four resonators, capable of producing vowel and consonant sounds in con- junction.
 When the vowel resonator was closed by hand and released, while at the same time connecting tube was pinched and released, the model distinctly pronounced the word moth er
 The inventor hopes eventually to substitute electrical for acoustic res orators.

ZEPPELIN EXPERT IN DOUBT FEASIBILITY
 OF OCEAN FLIGHTS
BELIEVES FUTURE SUCCESS AIR WILL COME FROM USE ALL
 METAL AIR AND SEAPLANES

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Despite the successful crossing of the Atlantic by the ZR-3, Dr. Rohrbach, well known German inventor and former associate of Count Zeppelin, has grave doubts as to the feasibility of trans Atlantic commercial flying by lighter-than-air craft.
 On the other hand, he plans a rosy picture of the future possibili- ties of travel by heavier-than-air craft to which he has now turned his attention.
 Tt is only a question of a few years before it will be possible to travel generally just as safely by air as by railway, steamer or motor car," Dr. Rohrbach declared in an interview. ITO my mind the future in the air lies in the construction of all-metal airplanes and seaplanes.
 T have turned my attention to the constructor Ot commercial sea planes made entirely of duralumin. Three such machines are being test ed at Copenhagen and will shortly be put on commercial route, which is as yet being kept secret
 "The world has not yet realized the potential possibilities of com mercial aviation. If the money were forthcoming we could fly machines, with 15O-foot wing spread, capable of carrying forty persons, and equipped if necessary, with dining rooms.
 Whether or not airplanes will ever be used on the crossAtlantic route remains to be seen, for it is a big span; but, on the other hand, in the future the journey from Lon don to Copenhagen or to Christiana will be made by seaplane."
