DAWES, ADDRESS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. II (AP).-
Vice President Dawes today joined
hands With those seeking the abolish
ment of the American system of pri-
mary elections for selecting candidates
to public office.
He expressed his sentiments in the
course of plea made before the ma
tional convention of the American
legion for a greater exercise of the
franchise by the voters of the United
States, whose lethargy, he said, made
it possible for very small minority to
choose nominees, who later were
elected
personally, believe that the pri1
mary system should be largely abol-
ished and that if we follow the theory
and plan of representative government
laid down in our constitution by pro-
viding for nomination by conventions,
better and more impartial class OF
candidates will result" he said
But even if the primary system was
abolished an increase in the impartial
voting in the United States is the cry
ing need of the hour"
The basis for Mr.. Dawes address was
the plan of the American Legion for
getting out the vote in national, state
and city elections. This project he
endorsed as one vital to the welfare
of the republic"
IF the American government is to
be a success he said, 'the American
people must vote. Indifference in the
attitude of The American public toward
the franchise is the greatest existing
menace to American institutions. 1t Is
tending to substitute government by
aggressive and interested minorities
for government by the people.
'Especially is this the case in state
county and city elections. The per-
centage of he qualified vote cast IN
nonpresidential years is far below the
{ So per cent cast in the 1924 presiden-
tial election. After making some eX-
animation into statistics gathered from
different localities, l should say thai
in the primary contests preceding cleo
tions in nonpresidential years in state
county and city elections, north, south
east and west, an estimate that 25 pei
kcent of the qualified vote is cast is, il
anything, excessive. Since there are
still two dominant political parties, the
vote in most localities is quite evenly
divided between them.
"Tn such event the election of the
candidates to be voted on at future
election is determined in each party by
majority or plurality, as the case
may be, of only about 1917 per cent OF
the qualified voters. Under such cir
cumstances men who are elected te

COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. - (AP)
Claiming the state had established

forth late this afternoon i'll district
court denied the motion of the de-
fendant in the embezzlement action
against Walter V. Fischer of Denver

The entire day was devoted to
arguments on the motion. After
Judge Cornforth had given his de-

for the defense, offered three addi-
tional motions, each of which was
denied by the court without argu-
ment by counsel. The case will be
resumed at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

fense. The case probably will not
end until Saturday. 1t is being

PHILADELPHIA, oct. 10 (AP).-Vice
President Dawes and General Pershing,
one a crusader in the realm of politics,
the other a leader in war. both mem
bers of the American legion, greeted
and addressed the former members OF
the American expeditionary forces in
annual convention today.
The vice president denounced indif-
ference shown by Americans to the
dangers, that beset the governments the
greatest OF which, he said, was indit-
fercncei ITSELF The general, the first
to great the DICTIONARIES, made a happy
little speech. in which he said it was
important to the boys to see that
their representatives in their local
communities were fine alert, honest
men, Intelligent and efficient, and not
slackers or demogogues."
Vice President Dawes was applauded
when de declared that the primary
system in elections should be largely
abolished.

representative government laid down
in our constitution by providing for
nomination by conventions, better

tions''
General Pershing told the legion
naires he came only to say, How do
you do, shake hands, look into your
faces and review the parade"
"In these national conventions" said
the general, 'it has become the custom
of having speakers come to address
you, and in reading over these speeches
l find that the majority of them take
it upon themselves to give advice to
the members of the legion and to tell
them how they should conduct them
selves and to talk about the great prob
lens of peace, seeming to imply that
because these men put on their uni
form and armed themselves for battle
and went forth to victory that some
how or other they have become per-
manent warriors.

bled legionnaires that you need no

More than carload or pipe has
been used by the Arizona Edison
company in renewing and enlarging
gas mains in many sections of the
city during the last two months, it
was learned Tuesday from J. P. Sex
ton, manager of the company
Enlarging the city's gas mains is
one of the features of a program of
development which is being carried
out by the company. Further i'm
provements in the MAINS. will be
made as soon as supplies arrive in
the city, it was announced.
Work on three pnasfrg the city's
current supply has been progressing
rapidly, it was learned, emily being
hampered by the delayed arrival of
the equipment. Several carloads of
special equipment have aIread ar
rived and another big shipment is ex-
pected to arrive today.
Many thousands of dollars will be
spent by the Arizona Edison COM
pany in effecting this. change in the
city's current supply, and the project
will necessitate the employment of an
additional staff of electrical work
ers.
Sexton stated that the generators
III the central power plant will be
renewed in the city and that the
changeover will be effected without
oven a lnomentary interruption of
service to the company's subscribers.
Many motors have been rewound
during the past few weeks SC that
they may be put in service as soon
as the changeover is completed and
Sexton advises all persons who use
electric motors which have not been
rewound for the three phase cur
rent to communicate with the COM
pany so that they may be either re-
wound OF replaced.

PARIS FEARS DEBT
PACT MAY NOT Be
RATIFIED AT ALL

PARIS, oct. 70 (AP)-A wave of
pessimism concerning ratification Of
the Washington debt settlement to-
night submerged lobbies of the cham
Der of deputies.
Tomorrow the finance committee
will consider the entire question. The
special committee which has been in
vestigating the agreement has fin
ished it's work. 1t makes neither
criticism nor recommendations re-
garding the Mellon Berenger agree
nent, cont enting itself with a gem
eraI clearing up of the principal
points involved. During the after.
noon Il was said that many members
of both this finance and foreign re-
lations committees were adverse to
considering The question at all until
after the American elections The
tendency which was strongly toward
ratification 10 days ago has turned
decidedly since the deputies began to
return from the provinces for the
present session in greater numbers.
The predictions now are that the
government will have a hard time to
get the agreement ratified.
M. Frankl:n-6 6ouillon, chairman of
the foreign relations committe of the
chamber, vebemently expressed the
opinion in The lobbies today that the
washington settlement will never be
ratified as il stands. He declared
also that the government probably
will not demand ratification without
notifications.
This change in sentiment on the
part of many deputies IS said to b.
due largely TO the recent action .!

France assuming too areat burden
in the question Of debts. The pro

office are thus selected by small min
ority of around percent of the quail
fled voters. ~
sWe all realize that as our national
wealth and population increases and
business broadens and becomes more
diversified that there arises the neces-
sity not only for the Capitalization of
greater power in state county and city
government, but for it's constant use in
the carrying out of its legitimate pro-
jects. s44a tu lieEorae ae.~
ESPECIALLY is this true in connection
with state governments. Immense road
building projects are being carried out
by states, assisted by the national gov
eminent. Our state and city admin
istrati0ns are accustomed not only to-
use public employees in getting out a.
primary vote to maintain an existing
administration in power, but in many
places all those interested in. construe-
tion or other public contracts with
their organization and employees are
expected to perform active service in
getting out the primary vote for the
same purpose.
"At the time, therefore, when owing
franchise, the number of qualified
voters necessary to control a primary
election is lessening, the number of
those having a business interest in the
continuance of an existing administra-
tion and willing to work at the polls
for it is rapidly increasing. While the
general and impartial vote is decreas-
ing, the controlled vote is steadily in
creasing 1t is to be hoped that in
most localities there is q scrurulous
and proper use of centralized power,
but it is not too much to- say that in
some states and cities the power of the
administration is so exerted that the
dominant party will always present
candidates at the election selected by
those having a business and personal
interest in the continuance of the ad-
ministration Where this is the case
we, have changed from representative
government of the people into an oil
garchy dominated by self interest. AS
time goes on the evil increases.
"As long as our primary system ex-
lists, there is but one remedy for the
situation, and that is to increase the
number of impartial voters of both
parties not only at the primaries but
| at general elections. We have lost our
free government if those interested in
/ direct business relations with govern
ment, either as employees or through
| contracts, are the ones who control the
nomination of candidates
