Labor's new battle cry Is "On With

BY ROBERT BARRY.

Senator Pat Harrison Of Mississippi,
most effective heckler of the Repub-

Democrat who believes his party has
too big a responsibility to the Ameri-
can people" in the presidential cam
paign of 1928 to involve itself In a
factional row over prohibition.
THE hopes and prayers OF the Re'
publican party are centering on the
possibility that the Democratic party
may have a fatal factional strife over
the prohibition ISSUE" Senator Har-
be crushed and that prayers from
such a source will go unanswered.
Anywhere two Republican leaders
get together they indulge in a back
slapping party over the prospect that
we Democrats of the South will split
with the Democrats of the North and
East over the wet and dry question,
and fail thereby to bring properly to
the attention of the American people

can administration in Washington

believe there is any possibility the

II most certainly do not" Senator
Harrison replied. ''The Republicans
cannot fasten any such issue on our
Democratic party. l am confident
time will disclose that all of the re-
sponsible leaders of the party will be
in agreement that prohibition Is not
to be the issue in the presidential

1.-The Democratic party has no quar-
rel, and will have none, with men
merely because they are wealthy. 1t
will insist, however, on integrity of
wealth as on honesty in government
and equal rights and opportunities
for all. That is the issue. That is
the responsibility of the Democratic
party in what. I believe to be an
actual crisis in the political affairs of
our country.
THE American people do not re-
fuse to rally to the preservation of
such fundamental principles of the
Republic, once the issues are pre-.

why, then, with such an obliga.

ourselves to be turned aside from the
paramount issues to quarrel among

Take my word for it. we will not
do so. If there are Republicans who
still believe the best asset their party

TRYING TO SQUARE
II, T,SAYS MAGRUDER
Admiral Declares Even Pres.
ident Has Misunderstood
His Statements.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, October 5.-As-
serting that his criticism Of naval af-
fairs in a recent magazine article had
been misrepresented and that even
President Coolidge had misunderstood
some statements. Rear Admiral
Thomas p Magruder told members of
the Philadelphia Forum last night that
he was trying to square" himself.
Speaking on Whats the Matter
With the Navy" the admiral said:
II have been the recipient, not the
target, of adverse criticism from
Washington Tor my remarks concern
ing the Navy in frank statement to
fellow taxpayers. 1 have been sadly
misrepresented, and even President
my statements.
Overorganized, He Says.
THE President complained that 1
said the Navy was OverOfficered. I be-
lieve he got that impression elsewhere.
What I said was that the Navy Is
overorganiZed. And so it is. The
trouble with the Navy is not with the
officers or with the men, but that we
are suffering from an increased GEN.
tralization of authority or power in
Washington.
There are not too many officers and
not enough men in the Navy. We
should carry a large force of officers
during peace time.
Il am trying to square myself and
present my views merely as personal
opinions and the opinions of a naval
officer with more than 40 years of ex-
perience in the Navy. I seek no con-
troversy and will never enter in con.
troversy with any officer of any de-
partment in Washington"
Would Disregard Others.
''Our plan, in my opinion, should be
decided without regard for the relative
positions of other nations and without
attempting a competitive scheme, but
purely upon the requirements of our
own Nation we should decide what
we need, appropriate the money and
then produce Navy with every dollar
of that appropriation going into the
active Navy.
II have stated that the Navy is over
organized. I would take away ad.
mirals and officers from Washington
and place them in active service on
some of the ships that are tied up in
the navy yards. Our great trouble
with surplus officers in Washington
is that all have stenographers who
help them turn out SO much detail
for the active officers that there Is
very little left for the initiative Of the
men in charge" =

Opposition newspapers say that the

was due to coercion and intimidation.
This is denied by the government,
which declares the elections passed
quietly and there were only a few un-
important incidents.
It is expected Parliament will as.

see that the government will have a

the existing cabinet may be modified
