MAKE DESPERATE
EFFORT TO Save
Mckinley HIDE
Hughes and Banks Send
LGst-Minute Appeals


The Coolidge administration forces
are making a last-mInute attempt to
save the political hide of one Of It's
most ardent supporters, United States
Senator William 3. Mckinley. "stand
by Coolidge; Elect Mckinley" Is the
slogan thrown out by the Mckinley
forces In an attempt to win the repub-
lican nomination.
Hughes Backs Mckinley.
Former Secretary Of State Charles
Evans Hughes has sent a telegram to
Mckinley headquarters declaring his
support for this lackey Of the big bust
ness interests. In his telegram
Hughes points out that the republican
party attempted to form world court
in the days Of Roosevelt and that Nc
Kinley should receive the support of
all good republicans" in the primar-
les on April 10. Hughes calls on the
voters to support Mckinley and thus
help the Coolidge administration in
the senate.
United States Senator Deneen has
sent out hundreds Of thousands of
campaign literature calling on the
voters to support the Illinois traction
magnate, Mckinley. Senator Deneen
was one of those that voted for the
entrance of the United States into the
world court, which is an adjunct of
the league of nations. Deneen has
returned to Chicago and has instruct
ed every one of his political bench
men to back Mckinley and see to
it that Mckinley wins the election.
Grove Backs Smith.
States Attorney Robert E. Grove
has now come out openly for Frank
L. Smith, chairman of the Illinois
commerce commission, Grove is
backing Smith and has told all his
servants to push the candidacy Of
Smith. SIS 81
With the union-smasher Grove
supporting Smith, who was also in
lorsed by the Fitzpatriek-Nockels.Nel-
son alliance in the Chicago Federation
If Labor, 1t is expected that the en-
ire force of this open-shoppers' office
will be on hand at the spolls to see to
It that every Smith ballot is counted.
Banks Boost Mckinley.
A number of local banks, Chicago
representatives of big New York in
titutions, have sent Gut appeals urg-
ng the support of Mckinley. This
move on the part of the local banks is
ooked upon as a last-minute attempt
N the part of the Wall Street banks
o put over Mckinley $50 that the big
business interests will be able to put
hru their program Of tieing up the
United States with the league Of ma
tons and thus insure the investments
Of these banks in foreign countries
Coolidge Fears Primary.
President Coolidge has not come
out openly with an Endorsement of the
Mckinley candidacy. Coolidge has
had his ear to the ground and has de
cided to remain silent. A defeat fol-
the administration forces in the I'LL
nois primaries on Tuesday means that
panic will reign in the ranks OF
many of the regulars in other states
where the primaries will be held in
september. Tho Coolidge has come
out openly for Mckinley every re
source of the Coolidge machine has
been used to put Mckinley over.
Million Dollar Fund.
It is charged by the Crowe-Barrett
Thompson faction that the Mckinley
forces are pouring over million dol
lars into the primary fight in an at
tempt to nominate Mckinley. This
faction further points out that most
of this money has been collected in
Washington. Rumors have it that
many of the big financial institutions
Of Wall Street are behind the cam
paign fund and that administration
supporters realizing the Importance
iof winning the primaries in Illinois
are contributing enormous sums to
the Mckinley fund. ~
Campaign managers on both sides
of the fence claim victory for their
respective candidates. Both groups
claim they will carry Cook County by
about 100000 votes.
Stay Away From Primaries.
Workers should stay away from the
primaries tomorrow. Regardless Of
whether Smith OF Mckinley are nom
mated, the workers will get the worst
end OF It. Both OF these candidates
are pledged to support the program Of
big business. In this election two big
business interests in the republican
party were fighting each other. On the
one hand we're the bankers and one the
other the industrialists. One grouI
wants to get into the league OF ma
lions to protect its investments total
ing millions OF dollars while the other
group want TO stay out of the world
court and carry on their trade as
heretofore. The industrialists have
little to use in foreign investments
so that is why they are behind the
Smith faction which opposes The
world court and league of nations
