VAN NUYS FLAYS
HAYS IN SPEECH
AT GREENFIELD
'DiScredited Methods of
Former Regimes USed,'
Says Candidate.

GREENFIELD, Ind, Oct. Ii
When Will H. Hays was sent back
to Indiana to endeavor to secure
my defeat I feel compnmented,' &C.
clared Frederick Van Mugs of In
dianapolis, Democratic candidate for
the United States senate, in an ad-
dress here today.
1t makes the issue more clear
1t means that the discredited po-
litical methods and forces behind
former administrations, of which he
is part. fear my presence in the
senate. 1t shall be my duty to tell
the voters of the progress of this
pilgrim he said.
Mr. Hays assured -oters of In
diana that his coming was prompted
by such a compelling sense of duty
as citizen of Indiana that he
could not resist the urge. May I
be permitted to question the sin
certify of that statement?
Il wish 1 could present before the
mothers of Indiana the last pic
ture I saw. 1t was advertised as a
masterpiece. It's chief appeal lay
in a nude bathing scene, which
brought expressions of humiliation
even from the adults in the audi
ence.
Mr. Hays is the car of the
movies. With a word he could pre-
vent such degrading spectacles from
being shown. The people may we'll
ask whether he really is trying to
save the people of Indiana, or mere
ly trying to save the job given him

three characteristics One, capacity

To understand the arrogant

necessary to recall the busy,

the 1905.

to indulge in civic activities
which would have carried down
his fame.
He was fighting his way to the
top, catch as catch can, no holds

And in 1899 insult, who himself
never took an unguarded step. an

sufficient place in the world to

In shat year he married Miss

girl enjoying a successful stage
career as Gladys Wallis, she re-
tired the following year, only to
reappear years later, when it suit

Miss Wallis had played ingenue
roles with Otis Skinner, William
H. Crane and other stars. She
captivated insult while playing in
the Schiller theater company in
Chicago.
insult, now 30, still a relative
newcomer in Chicago, was about
to enter a new phase in his domi-
nation of his scene.
The steady concentration of
utility power into Insults hands

And into this roaring, power

mans collar and ready to fight
with bare knuckles to get his
share of the booty Gold, a man

praise of men and the bright ia
yors Of the womenfolk.
There can be no doubt that the
whole scene colored insult. He
had done well for himself in the
New World. At 80 he had saved
something; he was big man in
the infant electrical industry; he
philanthropically was sending his
brother Martin. who was to share
his rise and fall, to Cornell uni
versity to learn about engineer

But this was different. Chicago
was Insults meat.
From the days of his apprentice
clerkship in the moldy London

able flight last June, insult never
failed to put work first.

And how they fought.
He became at once more than

there never were two bosses where

gobbled so many hundreds of in

down, insulation vanished from

Intervention
IN JAPAN HELD
ONLY WAY OUT
Leagues Alternative Is to

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMs
sorInns- Howard ForeiEn Editor

" AOAAA4NNJ AONs W. A4s-LikJlO-
mats here are convinced that Japan
now has backed the United States
and the League Of Nations into a
corner, from which they can not
escape without resorting to sane
tons IA legal term for various forms
Of Intervention TO enforce the law.
The alternative seen is TO admit
defeat and take the consequences,
namely the wrecking Of the world
peace machinery and the collapse Of
the arms conference together with
all that this would mean
Short OF a revolutionary change
of policy in Japan, that country
is seen as having burned her bridges
behind her
Her official announcements, since
the Lytton commission, in effect
called on her to restore Manchuria
to China, have been categorical.
She is in Manchuria TO stay,
treaties or no treaties.
Thus, after more than a year Of
moral pressure to get her to live up
to her pledges under the covenant
Of the league, the nine power treaty
ard the Kellogg pact, Japan even
is more defiant than ever.

Said DR.. Ray mond Leslie Buell.
of the Foreign Policy Association:
After a certain point, the world
must make good its moral pro-
tests, or sop protesting.
The league and the United
States must decide whether to adopt
an attitude of complete non
Intervention, or to bring this dis
pute to a head by the imposition of
sanctions
This more than painful truth
fully is realized at Washington.
Though the administration fears to
talk because Of the presidential
elections ahead, it does not conceal
its anxiety over the approaching
crisis
Within ninety days Washington
in all likelihood, will have to make
one of the gravest decisions in dec

The league is pledged to sane
items against a member turned out

At the same time it is admitted
that unless the United States CO.
operates with the league, or at
least agrees not to interfere, the
covenant hardly can be enforced.
Sanction of Different Deg ees
japan is believed convinced that
the world will not dare resort to
sanctions against a major power.
If she decides, therefore, to defy
the league, the league will either
have to make good or shut up shop.
Any attempt to penalize Japan
il fully is realized here, would be
perilous. Nationalism in Nippon is
now at fever pitch
Sanctions are Of different degrees
ranging from the severance OF eco
nomic, financial and diplomatic re-
lations to blockade and the use OF
armed force.
The fact that Japan is Salu W

GAM INSULT came out to the
- states in l881-thin, 81, burn
sided, acuteIy anxious to please
his new master, Edison.
Twelve years afterward-ruddy,
a trifle stout--he shouldered self
confidently into Chicago as plas-
terers we're applying the last
trowels of stucco on the old world
palaces of the Columbian eXposi-
ton.
The man who would be king of
super power entered the fabu-
lousy lake shore metropolis with
a chip on his shoulder-a chal-
longing splinter which would not
be dislcdged until the narrowing
sprlngtime of 1882.
No longer serving any master
but himself, insult had invited
himself to Chicago. No, he had
dictated his entry.
The way the one time five
shilling London clerk had man
aged it was this The Chicago
Edison Company, one of the earh-
est units formed to exploit the
electric light, needed a competent
manager.
A succession of men, unframed

their need, the bankers and law
yers who had promoted the utility
sent a committee to New York to
see Edison"
The inventor referred the Chi
cagoans to insult, who, preSum-
ably, as second e-president of
the newly organized General
Electric Corporation, knew all the
available utility managers in the
land. There weren't many at
that time.
TAKE me" commanded insult.
Il Il can do the job better than
any other man in the country"
AS the smilingly forceful young
man, dressed faShionably, sure OF
himself, regarding the committee
with a candid eye, nominated no
other candidate, the committee
men took him.
In later years the Chicagoans
who brought insult to Chicago re-
called the encounter with amuse-
ment. Robert Todd Lincoln, the
eminent lawyer, for one. No ifs or
ands about insult; take me-" he
ordered and they did.
They remembered. too, that he
smiled winningly. Throughout his
rise and power, insult knew when
to smile and when to indulge in
heavy scorn-the arbitrary, cold
rebukes that brought him the So
briquet Insult" Insull-and when
to 60 off the deep end in one of
the outlying RACES wherein his
high, nasal voice could be heard,
f1guratively, for blocks around the
Loop.
insult was a daring fox in 1893
all right.
Superimposed on the blunt self
assertivenesS of the nineteenth
century English commercial man,
the bluff associated with Amer
leans at that period had converted
the we'll disciplined shorthand
clerk into a dominating character
A domineering manner was the
idea of rising business magnates
then. Autocratic, choleric fellows
clustered to the top and ruled;
soft-spoken, reasonable men failed.
