permission to sell his property and

give him enough to live comfort

ever, the remainder of the subsidy
which it promised him at the time

his alleged hostile declarations
against the Angora regime.
By the Nizam’s generosity, Abdul
will be made almost independent of
aid from the Turkish government.

BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, July 21.—Clem
L. Shaver, whom Jolin W. Davis has
asked to run the Democratic presi
dential. campaign, is a “little shav
er,” physically, but apparently meas
ures up to all major league speci
fications as a political fox.
Shaver, who managed Davis’
campaign, never let
it loom as a threat to other hope
ful would-be candidates. He main
j tained it always as a sort of “last
resort” candidacy, which in no
. way interfered with the fights be
jing made to build up support for
j McAdoo and Smith, or even Ral
ston, Underwood or Glass.
Il didn’t allow the Davis boom
to push or crowd, or to get puffed
up unduly to a. size where it might
invite the barbed hatpins of jealous
rivals.
Shaver- didn’t swell around the
corridors of the Waldorf or the
aisles of Madison Square Garden,
telling how, at the psychological
moment, he would “put ” Davis
over.
A little gray-faced, stoop-should
ered man who looked constantly
tired, almost dejected, he simply
told what a great chance the partv
had if it would only look to John
W. Davis to save it from its trou
i bles.
He rubbed nbbody the wrong
way, stepped on no tender toes,
and got the good will of all groups
1 for himself personally as well as
for his candidate.
If it is a political diplomat Davis
, needs to weld his forces for the
.•coming campaign, Shaver would
seem to have qualified.
A much less passive sort of per
son, one who believe in Strong
words and aggressive methods, is
John M. Nelson, the manager of
Senator La Follette’s independent
campaign.
Nelson, next to Nick Long-,
worth, is the baldest man in Con
gress. But instead of the sym
metrically rounded cranial dome of
Longworth, Nelson’s Jbare expanse
of scalp exposes a rough-hewn
head, suggestive of ability to with
stand many bumps and to deliver
as good as is sent —even butting in
rant-fashion, with his head, when
feet and fists fail.
It was Nelson who led the La
Follette fight last fall for a revi
sion of the House rules. He stood
up, unmoved, against the most
withering and devestating cyni
cism and satire the word wizards
of Congress could direct against
him.
He didn’t care what the regulars
thought of him or his fellows, or
what they called him, so long as
they amended the rules.
He checkmated every move to
I entangle him in parliamentiary red
I tape, or to substitute for his pro
| posals any political panacea of the
I “just-as-good” brand.
I His bald head and bald speech,
were the highlights of that memor
able battle.
* * »
The title of “Bleeding Kansas,”
won by the Sunflower state because
of # the bitter battles between the
abolitionists and pro-slavery groups
preceding the Civil War, may prop
erly be revived before the coming
political holocaust is ended.
For Kansas is slated to become
the geographical storm center of
the political tornado, centering
over the middle west, during the
presidential campaign.
Orders have gone out from Re
publican headquarters that Kansas
must be held secure, at all costs,
against the assaults to be mado
upon it by the La Follette forces.
La Follette’s forces, believing
that the loss of Kansas by the Coo
lidge cohorts will deprive the
president of a majority and send
the elecetion into Congress, will,
send their shock troops into action
there.
Asd the Democrats, hoping to.
salvage something from the fra.-
for their candidate, will join in the
general free-for-all.
Committees Maks
Progress on Plan
Continued from page one
Tuesday. The headqquarterg of all
the delegations were active and the'
subcommittee labored several hours
pn problems involving the economic
restoration of the Ruhr.
Premier Macdonald had unofficial
talßs with several of the chief dele
gates whom he entertained at lun
cheon at Chequers Court.
The task of arriving at an under
standing for economic evacuation
nas proved complex, but although
there are divergent views between
the British and French and Belgian
delegations, it is asserted their dif
ferences ar e not unsurmountable.
This committee probably has the
most difficult problem yet awaiting
solution and must review several
highly controversial matters involv
ing the Ruhr railway’s and economic
evacuation of the occupied territory.
The sub-committee dealing with'
the qquestion of the economic entity
of Germany at today’s deliberations
niatb substantial progress. Another
sub-committee dealing with the rail
way’ question has encountered an
obstacle in the Franco-Belgian claim
to be allowed to maintain some form
of communication between the Ruhr
and the Rhineland and France and
Belgium, It was decided to report
its failure to agree to the full com
mittee Monday.
It is learned that the French want
to dilute the German railway pur-
Tsnnpl with., a large number -es
French and Belgian railwaymen and
themselves that the
railways w’ill be more or less unde"
French supervision in cas e of a
strike, of the German workers or
in other erhergiencies.
The British contend that if this
is done in cdnjifriction with the
Dawes report it might easily give
rise to difficulties and conflicts to
which th e French counter claim is
that if Germany adheres strictly to
the Dawes principles it never wiil
Jbe necessary to invoke the extraord-,
inary guarantees which France feels
her safety demands. _ „
