QUIZ ON CAMPAIGN
FUNDS T0CONT|NUE
Senate Committee to Publish
Expenditures OF Various
.. t+
Candidates.

Frequent publication OF expenditures
on behalf of all candidates during the
coming presidential campaign is planned
by the special Senate committee on
presidential campaign funds.
Chairman Steiwer has been author
lied by the committee to make arrange
n1ents to carry out this plan. It Is his
intention to communicate with the ma
tional organization OF each party and
also with State organizations, with q
view TO obtaining from them at intervals
reports relating to expenditures for the
presidential campaign. The committee
probably will not attempt to gather
statistics as to expenditures that may
be made by counties.
Senator Steiwer believes the plan of
the committee to make public during
the campaign the reports obtained from
all sides will be helpful and will consti-
tute safeguard
The committee also is making ar
rangements to hear witnesses In relation
to the campaigns In Texas, Wisconsin.
Minnesota and California It was en-
prasized. however, that no Democratic
witnesses would be heard until after the
Democratic convention Is over. 1t was
explained that the same rule was fol-
lowed by not hearing any Republican
witnesses on the eve Of the Republican
convention.

members OF the committee supported his
resolution In executive session,
The committee declaration calling for
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment. DR.. Butler said. was SO extraor-
dinary and did so great violence to
sound constitutional doctrine and to
long established Republican policies and
Ideals that it could not be permitted to
go without opposition"
For that reason. he said. he appeared
before the convention in vain effort
to have his resolution substituted for the
enforcement declaration.
Purpose of Resolution.
One of my purposes In urging this
resolution" he continued. was to indi-
cate TO liberal-minded, straight thinking
men and women of the country that
there was in the Republican party
large body of opinion In support of q
constructive and constitutional solution
of the problems raised by the eighteenth
amendment, and to encourage them to
support that element rather than to
leave the party In disgust"
DR.. Butler said the coming campaign
is TO be fought ON two fronts There
VIII be one sort of battle" he said. ION
the Eastern front. where the danger will
be from the loss of the liberal element
or the population. and another sort OF
battle on the Western front, where the
problem will be to satisfy the graveIy

CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa, June ls.--
Evans Wooilen of Indianapolis, favorite
son of Indiana for the Democratic pres
idential nomination, I'm an address pre-
pared for delivery today before the
Iowa Bankers Association, declared
the unreasonable extension of the pro-
tective tariff system was responsible"
for what he termed the agricultural
problem"
There were two aspects to the prob
lem, he said, sfort-term aspect. dat
ing from the World War, which he dis
missed rs transient. and q long-term
aspect. dating from before the Civil
War, the factors In which he said were
not self-eliminating as were the later
ones.
THE protective tariff" he said, was
established to promote industry and 10
overcome what was regarded as undue
predominance of agriculture. During
the last quarter of 1900 and up to
the present the system has been used
increasingly for the promotion Of in-
dustry. In the last 20 years we have
had several general tariff acts. all of
which, except two, have been step up

r EON Enrol, the highest priced
II knee-bender in the world, is one OF
the four stars of "Fioretta," Earl Car
rolls new romantic Venetian musical
comedy, and Enrol probably has had the
most colorful and varied career OF any
cotemporary actor on the English
speaking stage.
He was born in Sydney, Australia, and
was studying medicine at the Sydney
University when the hand OF fate IN
tervened. The university players were
sorelv in need Of an original book and
set of lyrics for their annual musical
play. So the romance runs. Erroi
stepped into the breach and turned out
an acceptable play. Later, when one
of the leading players became Ill, Enrol
again came to the fore. put on the
grease paint and emerged as an actor.
From that day on the world lost a
future doctor and gained a great CO.
median.
Errol's first professional appearance
was with George Rignold. regarded as
the worlds greatest Henry the Fifth.
Enrol played with Rignold's Shake
perean company for two years when the
lure of a passing circus attracted him.
He then became in turn a clown, an
acrobat and finally an animal trainer:
Between circus seasons he took dips
into vaudeville, musical comedy and
burlesuue, until his ability as a CO.
median of rare genius was recognized
in Australia and New Zealand. He then
determined to go to America for further
eecognition.
He landed in San Francisco, where
he Joined a travelling stock opera COM
pany. The earthquake drove him East,
and he soon Joined burlesoue troup.
1t was here that Charles Dillingham;
discovered him, paid $4,000 for his re-
lease and then placed him in the
''Follies" of 1910.
His famous stagger fall soon earned
for him an imperishable niche in the
hall of comedy fame.
Besides appearing in all the "Follies"
he helped Edward Royce stage THE
Century Girl" Later he staged and
costarred with Raymond Hitchcock in
a series of "Hitchy -Koos.' London
beckoned at this juncture and Enrol
sailed for the British metropolis, where
he appeared with George Robey and
Shirley Kellogg in Joy Bells" which
ran there for year.
Upon his return to America his most
notable successes were with Marilyn

TT is difficult to realize that only IL
short months ago the talkies were
practically non-existent. There
had been one, THE Jazz Singer"
which had cleaned up in a big
way, but that was considered a novelty
that had succeeded because people will
ray even to hear photographic records
OF Al Jolson's songs.
Only two of the big producers SEEM
ed to realize the immense significance
of The Jazz Singers" triumph. Those
smart and fortunate ones were Warner
Brothers (who sponsored the film, and
profted by IT'D and William Fox. All
the other wise guys Of Broadway and
Hollywood boulevards were caught
mapping, despite the fact that they
were told in this column. the week
"The Jazz Singer" opened. that the
Vitaphone had sounded the death
knell of the silent drama. ut would
seem that Mr. Zukor, Mr.. Lasky Mr..
Goldwyn, Mr.. Mayer, Mr.. Schenck and
the others don't even read this
column)
Since last January Ee have seen the
first semi-talking pictures, Tender
loin" and THE Lion and the Mouse"
and the first all-talking pictures,
Lights of New York" and THE
Terror" all produced by the prosper
Gus Warmers.
We have seen Mr.. Fox derive in
credible profits from his Movietone
news reels, his short talkie dramas and
comedies and his close-ups OF George
Bernard Shaw, Mussolini and the King
of Spain.
We have seen the frantic efforts of
others to join the big parade by issu-
ing phoney sound pictures" Para
mount put sound tracks, containing
few words. on The Patriot and other
naturally silent films. Metro-Goldwyn
added discordant noise to White
Shadows in the South Seas" Our
Dancing Daughters" and others.
Pathe did likewise with The King of
Kings" Universal with Uncle Toms
Cabin" First National with Lilac
Time" and United Artists with ITEM
pest"-all of which had previously been
released with no other accompaniment
than that furnished by the regular
theater orchestra or organist.
Just at present, many of the leading
executives (notably Joseph M. Schenck)
are saying loudly that the old silent
film will never die-that the talkieS
are all very we'll in their own field but
that their field is necessarily limited
and that the public should go carefully
and not be stampeded into theaters
where the principal attraction is sound.
Nevertheless. these same executives
are reorganizing their entire outfits
with a view to manufacturing nothing
but talking pictures. Paramount. for
instance, will produce no silent films
whatever after January l, with the ex-
ception of Westerns" which are to be
distributed to the lowlier theaters where
the expensive Movietone apparatus can
not be installed.
Already one Paramount all-talker,
