Can He eroveI lower

The candidate chosen by the Mel
lon-Coolidge forces to teach Dale a
statutory lesson is William H. Stick
ney, former governor of Vermont and
a law partner of Attorney General
Sargent. Stickney is considered more
reliable than Dale and it is not be-
lieved that he would, under any con-
ditions, deviate a hairs breadth from
Melons Wall Street policies.
The dictatorship of Wall Street as
carried out in political life at Wash
ington is relentless and brooks not
the slightest deviations
However, Dale can console himself
with the knowledge tHat enmity on
the part of Coolidge has been help
rather than a hindranes to every SEN
ator that thus far has sought renomi-
nation at the hands Of the voters of
Coolidge's own party.
Between two politicians trying to
ingratiate themselves with the Coo
lidge government the workers GER
tainly have nothing to choose. Both
of them represent capitalism.
Only class party OF labor, organ
lied against all elements of the old
parties, will serve the cause of the
workers in this or any other election.

A Contest in GrOv0IIing

the unexpired term of William P.
Dillingham;, who died in office. Being
a tombstone senator, his term has
been short one. He has been UNI
questionably loyal to the gang in
power. He voted for Melons tax
steal, wherein the secretary of the
treasury presented himself and his
millionaire cronies of Wall Street and
Detroit, Michigan, with millions of dol
lars. Dale also stood by the admins
tration when Coolidge tried to blud-
geon thru an endorsement for Sugar
Charley" Warren, who had been Sc
lected by Coolidge as attorney gen
eral. Since the most important task
of the attorney general at that time
was the prosecution OF cases against
the sugar trust it wassnot possible for
Coolidge to force thru the endorse
ment. 1t was narrowly averted, how
ever, because VicesPresident Dawes
couldn't wake up in time to break the
tie vote in favor of Coolidge.
But on the questions of soldiers
bonus and pay for the postal en-
ployes Senator Dale voted against the
administration. His vote was not de-
cisive, as the administration had suf-
icient votes anyway, and he thought
he ought to be able to have some sort
of record to go before the voters.
The Mellon gang had not agreed to
exempt Dale on these questions, as it
exempted Jim Watson of Indiana on
the world court vote, so the Vermonter
is now confronted with Coolidge op-
ponent.

SEN. CLARK

BUTTE, Mont, April 26.-The
strange parallel of the lives of
two men, who bore the same
name, but who were unrelated by
ties of kinship, has been revealed
here in a dying statement of
William Andrews Clark-an d,
with the statement, the hopes Of
two Missouri women and one from
Denver, Colo, for a share of the
late Senator William A. Clark's
$50,000,000 estate are, apparently
shattered.
Claims Daughters
Tie man who died here Saturday
declares In the statement, which
gives a complete history Of his life,
that he is the father of the three
women who are suing for share in
the late Montana Senator's estate,
on the ground that he was their
father.
Both William Andrews Clark and
the late Senator Clark were school
teachers near SteWartSVille. Mo-,
so years ago. Both left their posts
about the same time. BY a strange
trick of fate, both later sought their
fortunes in Montana
William Andrews Clark, in recit-

The Administration came out
into the open on its plan for lib
eraiization of retirement today.
President Coolidge called Sena-
Tor Robert N. Stanfield of Oregon,
sponsor of the retirement move
ment in the Senate, 10 the White
House and gave him the plan
drawn up BY Brig Gen. Herbert
NJ. Lord, Director of the Budget
Bureau, for liberalization Of the
present Law.
Only Hope This Session.
The Lord proposal. which by the
Presidents action today remains
the only one with any possibility of
passage in this. session Of Congress,
raises the present maximum an
nu1ty OF $720 to an even $1,000, as
compared with a maximum Of
$1,000 in both the Lehlback and
Etanfield bills.
1t leaves the age limits the same
as in the present bill, at 81, 65
and 20 years; and increases the de-
duction from salaries Of employees
from 2h per cent to 31k per cent.
The Administrations plan, ac-
cording TO Lord, would cost the
Government no more annually than
the present law. somewhere near
SIS, ,000, 900, as compared to the $24,-
600 900 under the Stanfield bill, and
the $27, 100000 the Government
would have to pay annually If it
adopted the Lehlbach bill.
AS he left the White House, Sen
ator StanfieId said he would pre-
sent the Administration plan to the
senate Civil Service Committee to-
day. but added that he did not ap-
prove it.
The Lord proposal for retirement
In the only specific measure the
President has come out in favor of,
and therefore is the only one with
any chance of passage in this ses-
sion.
In effect the President has said
that Congress can take this or leave
1t, but he will let nothing more
liberal go through.
President Coolidge's plan. accord
ing to General Lord, would raise
employees contributions to the re-
tirement fund 40 per cent over the
present and would raise annuities
they would receive by 80 per cent.
The Presidents plan changes the
Lehlbach bill in nearly every i'm
portant factor. including ages,
annuities, deductions from salaries,
diyisor to be used in computing
annuities and cost to the Govern
ment.
In each case. according to the
Lord substitute employees would be
able to work for additional years
after the age limit of their class,
II they were efficient. This would
set compulsory retirement ages 1T
"a, SO and 66 years.
The Lord proposal sets the di-
visor to be used in computing an
nuities at 4S as compared with 40
in the Lehlbach and Stanfield bills.
For employees receiving over
81 500 a year this would provide
the same annuities as in the LehI-
bach bill, but for employees under
81 500 1t would be less than in the
Lehlbach bill, though more than
in the present law.
The board of a1tuaries, estimat-
ing the costs of various retire
ment proposals, has not yet fin
ished its report on the new Lord
plan.
A new feature of the Lord pro-
posal is that 1t sets up machinery
to provide for funding itself, which
is not done in either the Lehlbach
or Stanfield bills.
Under the Lord plan an employe
would compute his annuity by
multiplying his average salary for
the last 10 years of service up to
81 800 by the number of years he
had served, and divide by the
