Wheeler, of Montana, has yielded to the entreaties of the Conference for Progressive Political Action, and will run for Vice-President upon Senator LaFollette’s ticket. He announced his candidacy today, after the Wisconsin leader had made a plea on behalf of the Progressive ticket. Previously, Senator Wheeler had denied that he would run, stating that while he could not vote for Mr. Davis because of his Wall Street affiliations, he was still a Democrat. He stated again today, in his announcement that he will be a candidate for the Third Party, that he is still a Democrat. Criticizes Party. “But I am not a Wall Street Democrat,” he said “When the party temporarily deserted the people and went to the firm of J. P. Morgan for its candidate it made certain the vote of thousands of its members for the party of protest. That party is the one which is led by Senator LaFollette. I am glad to join him in this campaign in calling to the attention of the people how completely dominated is the present leadership of Republicans and Democrats by the financiers of the East” Senator Wheeler’s candidacy is expected to solidify the support of Western radicals for Mr. LaFollette. Other radical Senators are expected to follow within the next few days in deserting the Republican and Democratic Parties for the campaign, although like Senator Wheeler they are expected to cling to their old labels.

Girl May Name Next President (Paris Times Radio). NEW YORK, Saturday.—If the Presidential election this year is thrown into Congress, as the Third Party is said to hope, it may be a woman’s vote that decides the next occupant of the White House. Miss Sarah Schiller Butler, daughter of President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, today announced that she expected to run against Mr. Sol Bloom, the present Democratic incumbent, in the Nineteenth New York Congressional District this year. Miss Butler is to run on the Republican ticket. She is due to get many votes as a supporter of her father’s attacks on the Prohibition Law. Although in her twenties, Miss Butler is vice-chairman of the Republican State Committee and has long been active in politics. The Nineteenth District is a “pivotal district.” If the Presidential choice is put up to the House of Representatives, its Congressman or Congresswoman may decide how New York goes when the forty-eight States in the Union vote there as units. GERMAN DRAFT LAW RECEIVED IN PARIS The second projected law prepared by the special committee of organization in Germany, has been received by the Reparations Commission. It relates to the institutions of a bank in Germany with the right to issue paper notes of gold value. A committee

GERMAN DRAFT LAW RECEIVED IN PARIS The second projected law prepared by the special committee of organization in Germany, has been received by the Reparations Commission. It relates to the institutions of a bank in Germany with the right to issue paper notes of gold value. A committee composed of Herr Schacht and Sir Robert Kindersley prepared the document. A third law, now being drawn up, will deal with the creation of a German railroad company. The three laws, the first of which dealt with the creating of bonds of industrial enterprises, must be passed upon by the Reparations Commission before being voted on by the Reichstag, according to the Dawes Plan.

Calm Precedes Storm As Elections Approach Republican and Democratic Campaign Plans Being Laid Preparatory to Heated Struggle for Country’s Leadership, (Paris Times Radio). NEW YORK, Saturday—The American people is in for two or three weeks of calm before the political storms break out afresh, with squally weather indicated all the way into early November. The Democrats are worn out from their long ordeal. The tumult and the shouting have died. The would-be captains and the would-be kings have departed, but jaded brains and jumpy nerves remain and it has been agreed by all that a breathing spell of rest and quiet will be a good thing for everybody. The Republicans have had their early campaign plans slightly upset by the unexpected death of Calvin Coolidge, jr. This tragedy has left the White House in a mourning mood where politics has no concern. The Democrats are mindful of this situation, too, and for that reason are not in a hurry to push their campaign forward. It will be at least for the first week in August before Mr. John W. Davis will be officially notified of his nomination in the old hometown of Clarksburg, W. Va. Mr. Coolidge will be notified at the White House at about the same time. Therefore, politics for the time being is in recess if not adjourned. By the middle of August, however, the battle lines will have been drawn and the opposing candidates squared away

Dawes to Campaign, Both the Democratic candidates are to go on the road. They will be opposed “in the sticks” only by “General” Dawes, but the friends of the fighting Republican vice-Presidential nominee contend that he is a host himself. President Coolidge naturally will have to confine his activities to Washington and the White House. For him the campaign will be largely a letter-writing affair, with occasional statements given out in the old Roosevelt-manner for release on the supposedly dull news day of the week—Monday. Many of Mr. Coolidge’s friends believe that he will make a more effective campaign in this manner than if he, too, took to the stump. The President is not an orator. His addresses always read better than they sound. His letters have a punch to them and always attract unusual attention. The Democrats are to make the attack in the campaign and it is fitting for them to be out in the open country. The Republicans will largely remain in the trenches, but the Democrats hope to “get them out by Christmas.” Radio Important The part that radio will play in the

The Republicans will largely remain in the trenches, but the Democrats hope to “get them out by Christmas.” Radio Important The part that radio will play in the Presidential foray is yet to be determined. The development of this new science of communication opens a field to the stay-at-home candidate which none of his predecessors ever knew. President Coolidge will always have radio facilities at his disposal and the success of the transmitting companies in hooking up a score or more of stations to listen-in at the Democratic convention shows that at a single speaking the President may, if he wishes, reach millions of hearers. The radio people are not anxious to let politics run away with their programs during the campaign. They had no idea what an ordeal they were getting into when they undertook to broadcast the gathering of the Democratic hosts in Madison Square Garden. So the chances are that political speeches by radio this autumn will be limited to ten minutes duration, with a minimum charge of $100 for each speech broadcast. It is said at this time that President Coolidge is likely to take advantage of the radio only on semi-public occasions which will nevertheless permit him to place his views on many subjects officially before the people. On purely political and controversial subjects, the President is likely to use the letter method

Friends of Roosevelt who recall his campaign of 1904 from the White House cannot help but regret that radio broadcasting was not an accomplished art at that time. The Colonel would have had simply a "bull's eye" time at the old microphone. Democrats Plans. One reason the Democrats are not rushing their campaign plans is a desire on their part that some of the wild scenes and confusion of the New York Convention shall pass as quickly as possible into at least the twilight zone of forgetfulness. It is their belief that this unquestionably will happen. After all is said and done, the outcome of the convention was all that most of the Democrats desired, and they are sticking to the old saying that "all's well that ends well." The Democrats feel that they have the candidate most feared by the Republican leaders. They know that at the Cleveland Convention whenever the talk turned to the Democrats, the Republicans in their private conversations always spoke of Mr. John W. Davis as a dangerous opponent. Believing, however, that Mr. McAdoo had the best chance of winning the nomination, the Republicans wrote what virtually was a personal attack

All that is wasted now. The Democrats feel they are going into battle with an ability to attack all along the line. They feel that their candidates will inspire confidence and they are pointing with a pride bordering on electrical elation to the Democratic record in congress. Once it gets under way, this coming campaign is going to be a hammer-and-tongs affair.

(Paris Times Radio) CHICAGO, Saturday.—Counsel for Nathan Leopold, jr., and Richard Loeb, the student slayers whose fiendish crime startled America weeks ago, today revealed the line of defense by which they will try to save the pair from the electric chair. The two, their lawyers say, must be tried in the State and in the county in which they slew nine-year-old Robert Franks after kidnapping him from a street only a few hundred yards from his millionaire father's home in Chicago. Loeb and Leopold have confessed that they put the boy to death in an automobile for the purpose of studying their own "reactions to murder." "Captain": Remember, They now claim they do not remember whether the actual killing was done in Indiana, into which they crossed during the fatal automobile ride, or in Cook County, from which they kidnapped him. Mr. Clarence F. Darroch, the famous lawyer who is chief counsel for the pair, argues that the prosecution before it can bring them to trial, must prove that the murder was done in Cook County. If they are to be tried here, or in Indiana, if they are to be tried in that State. Either, he claims, will be impossible.
