Newspaper Page TextASSOCIATED PRESS WORLD-WIDE REPORTS MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS. DAVIS IS PRAISED BY WHEELER WHO RIDICULES DAWES Says Republican Candidate Robbed 4,000 Citizens of Chicago. ATTACK ON COOLIDGE St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 25.—Senatoi Burton K. Wheeler, the independent candidate for vice president, last night denied what he termed “Dawes’ schoolboy orations on the constitution of the United States.” Wheeler’s attack on Dawes had a special significance to the audience because Dawes himself is moving into this region for a speaking tour. Declaring that economic issues really were political issues as well, Wheeler said: “Doubtless Dawes would admit this, but that is assuming that Mr. Dawes is an honest man and such an assumption might be hard to sus tain. ‘ He was guilty of robbing 4,000 Chicago citizens of a large part of their savings, I told an audience in Chicago last Saturday about Dawes’ connection with the Lorimer case and they have not heard any denial from him yet. John Bar ton Payne, one of Dawes’ attorneys, has attempted to defend the trans action by declaring that what Lor imer and Dawes did was the regular practice in Illinois when new banks were started. u The facts seem to be that there is no record whatever of the same thing having happened before, save in two cases, both of which were declared by the courts to be frau dulent transactions.” Then Wheeler switched his attack to President Coolidge. u Coolidge’s policy everything is on wait awhile,” he declared. “I chal lenge him to come forward and say where he stands on any important question.” At the close of his address, Wheel er praised John W. Davis, democrat ic presidential candidate, for ‘his courageous stand against Daugherty corruption system, as expressed in his letter tp the former attorney general.” RAINY WEATHER DOES NOT STOP REVIVAL CROWDS The rainy weather last night did not prevent a large crowd from at tending the revival services at the First Christian church, where Dr. S.
