KI AN IRRELEVANT
ISSHCiffII
CWGEffITS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right, 1924.)
(Before starting on. his 9,000-mile trip
i to ascertain political sentiment, Mr. Law
! renefe had a talk with President Coolidge
' at the White House on tlie issues of the
campaign, and will analyze the attitude
of the other nominees as he encounters
them on their speaking tours. In this
dispatch, Mr. Lawrence sets forth some
ot the domestic aspects of the campaign.
Tomorrow's dispatch will deal with the
Coolidge foreign policies.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Presi
l dent Coolidge feels that the lines of
’ battle have been drawn and that
no new factors will be thrust into the
campaign—at least so far as he is
concerned.
Mr. Coolidge holds what may truly
Ibe called a ‘common sense” view
\ poin-t toward his own political for
i tunes. When asked, for instance,
; whether he intended to make many
■ speeches in the campaign, he laugh
! ingly remarked that he never heard
: of a candidate being defeated for talk-
ing too little, but that he heard of
a. number ot' them who had been de
feated by talking too much. Oc
casional addresses will be made, but
they will be largely in amplification
and explanation of the main princi
ples that already have been laid down
by the president.
Our discussion covered a wide
range of subjects, from the agricul
tural situation to the klan issue.
Guards Dignity of Office
The president has been getting let
ters of all kinds and advices from
all quarters with respect to the im
; portance of the klan as an issue in
j the national campaign. Mr. Coolidge
i feels that he can not forget for an
instant that he is president of the
] United States and that he must pur
; sue for the campaign an attitude
I. which does not involve him in the
i mire of politics itself.
From a publicity viewpoint, Mr.
Coolidge appreciates full ~ well that
his opponents are obliged to make
wide speaking tours and campaign
actively, but that the man who is
president of the United States is ac
tually performing the duties of the
I office and the public impression of
: him is obtained from the day to day
'developments in the White House. It
I is irksome every now and then to
be tied down to official tasks and
I not he able to answer back in politi
cal fashion. Mr. Coolidge, howevei,
has determined to maintain an at
titude in conformity with presiden
tial tradition and make only oc
casional addressee.
Attitude on Klan
The president has a fixed idea that
most of the discussion of the Ku
Klux Klafn is academic and that it
does not touch the chief executive or
the powers of the federal govern
ment. Most of the crimes laid to
the Ku Klux Klan by its accusers are
covered, he believes, by the police
powers of the several states. As for
the theory that a president should
not apply any religious test in mak
ing appointments to office, Mr. Cool
idge is of the opinion that his own
record, both as governor of Massa
chusetts and as president, will be
sufficient answer on that score. Not
only has he appointed Jews and
, Catholics to office, but also negroes,
i and he thinks it would be unwar
! ranted on his part to be conscious
I of any distinction while considering
| persons for public office. He does
. not even care to dignify the subject
j by a public dissertation because he
' believes it to be one of the natural
' functions of the presidential office
■ to consider appointment for office on
the merits of the individual and
• without being provoked ny or related
to racial or religious ques'ions.
Not long ago the president's sec
i rotary gave out a letter in which
, he stateu that Mr. Coolidge is not
; a member of the klan nor in sym
j pathy with its objects. So far as
i the White House is concerned, that
• w •!! have to suffice for the remain
i der of the campaign. Mr. Coolidge
• will discuss from time to time the
. principles of religious freedom and
i the constitutional guarantees as he
; finds them appropriate for discus-
• Sion in connection with the general
:t .1 rupaijm, but hi? has alrcadv said
wrtuaily all thut he is to say
on the issue. Tm identallv. be would
not be surprised if. after the cam
, paign was over, people were admit
ting that they had exaggerated the
; importance of both the klr and the
i issue itself.
Agricultural Relief
In respect to agriculture, the pres
ident has it in mind to make the
j Proposed agricultural commission a
i clearing house for all ideas on the
( subject of agricultural relief. He is
, aware that the board itself will not
j complete its work until after elec
tion. but he is hopeful t*ic'. some
thing concrete may be w i out
before next session of congress so
that whatever is determire 1 upon

are large and sermons fine.
against the McNary-Haugen bill
with the export corporation plan
when it was up for discussion in,
the last session of congress. He did
give particular attention to all the
various proposals for farm relief and
seemed to think well of the sugges
tions contained both in the Curtis-
Aswell and the Capper-Williams bills.
These related to a •scheme for the
co-ordination of co-operative market
ing organizations. Mr. Coolidge had
a group of experts examine the Mc-
Nary-Haugen bill and be was in
hopes that out of the general dis
cussion would come a bill satisfac
tory to all farm interests. For
awhile, on the surface, it appeared
as if most of the farm organizations
were in favor of the McNary-Hau
gen bill. The true nature of the
support given the measure was,dis
counted in the national capital to
some extent because of the pressure
exerted from various sections of the
country upon the executive boards
of the farm organizations tn swing
into line behind the bill though the
farm leader's here were not alto
gether certain of its value.
AVhat Mr. Coolidge is seeking is
a practicable plan for handling the
export problem of the farmer and
he think's that the new commission
which is to function at once will
find some scheme suitable to recom
mend to him for presentation to con
gress.
The president is fully conscious of
the importance of agriculture as a
factor in the national campaign and
he is confident that the Republican
party will be entrusted with power
once more so that it can carry out
its plans with respect to agriculture

regular Republican ticket and that
those who had not intended to vote
for him in the first place probably
will be found voting for La Follette
or for Davis as they originally
planned. He professes to be no
prophet as to the outcome of the
election in mathematical terms, but
he doesn’t believe that the race of
1924 is comparable to the race of ■
j 912 when there were three candi- !
dates in the field, because he does
not think that La Follette has the
hold upon (he popular imagination
that Roosevelt had and that La Fol

the Democrats and will not disturb
the regular Republican vote. That
is his conviction.

AA'ASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—“ As
goes Maine so goes the nation,” is
an old battle cry of the Republican
party and the Democrats have been,
loath to use it except when the
election seems to be turning their
way.
It is no secret that the Demo
crats expected to either win the gov
ernorship in Maine or cut down ma
terially the Republican majority. On
the face of the latest returns they
have lost the election and the ques
tion of how much they have cut
down the Republican majority de
pends altogether on whether 1920
or 1922 is taken as a basis of reckon
ing.
In the 1920 election the governor
ship as well as the presidency was
won by the Republicans in Septem
ber and November, respectively, by
approximately 65,000 majority. To
day the Republicans have had that
majority 1 cut down to almost halt.
To that extent the idea that 1920
may be taken as a basis of com
putation for the 1924 election and
that Davis will be beaten as was
Cox is subject to sharp dispute by
the mathematics of the case.
Small Gain For G. (). P.
Compared with 1922, which seems
a fairer basis for calculation, the
Republicans have made a small
gain. They won then by 24,000 and
it was remarked at that time that
the cut from 1920 represented con
siderable loss to the Republican
party. The Maine results were con
sidered significant and they were
indeed borne out by the congres
sional elections, for applying the
same ratio of loss to the Republicans
in other states the mathematicians
did figure out about the loss of
seats in congress which they did
suffer. So Maine poirtted in 1922 the
way the nation went;.
AVhat does a gain of from 24,000
in 1922 to 35,000 in 1924 really repre
sent? It means that the Republicans
not only have held their own but
have made a gain of about 11,000
votes, though the difference between
a governorship and a presidential
vote is always a few thousand any
way, so to all intents and purposes
the situation has not materially
changed from 1922. Had there been
any landslide in prospect for the
presidential race the barometer in
Maine should have registered at
least a 50,000 or 60,000 majority.
This dispatch is written on the,basis
of early returns and it may be that
later figures may show a 50,000
.majority in which case the Republic
ans will have just cause for jubila
tion as to the meaning of the Maine
election.
Entirely apart from the effect
which the figures will have on the
workers of both parties—for they
will interpret it as they please—
Maine may hake an importance in
another field of controversy, namely,
the Ku Klux Klan. The defeats of
the klan in Texas and Oklahoma, had
made some of the supporters of the
klan in politics somewhat timid. The
Cooldige political managers were ad- j
vised that a strong klan vote would ■
be cast for the Republican candi
date for governor in Maine because
of the denunciation of the klan by
Mr. Pattangall, the Democratic nomi
nee. A victory with klan support
always goads the anti-klan elements
into action. Perhaps the most pro
vocative headline which the Demo
crats could wish for is that which
today was used bv one of the Re
publican newspapers here, “Brewes-;

Davis Klan Plank
Adopted by Missouri
Platform Convention
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Sept. 10.
The Democratic state platform car
rying the expression agains the Ku
Klux Klan which was made by John
W. Davis, Democratic presidential
candidate, in his Sea Girt, N. J., ad
dress, was unanimously adopted by
the state platform convention here
last night. The platform was adopt
ed immediately upon its re
' ported to the full convention by a
subcommittee.
The Davis declaration contained
in the platform follows:
“If any organization, np matter
what it chooses to be called, whether
the Ku Klux Kian or by any other
name, raises the standard of racial
and religious prejudice, or attempts
to make racial or religious beliefs
the tests of fitness for public office,
it does violence to the spirit of
American institutions and must be
condemned by all those who believe
in American ideals.”

raised by local stock subscription.
A contract for raising lhe local
stock subscriptions will be made
with the Hockenbury System, Inc.,

klan' backing.”
Had the klan been beaten in Maine
it might have had the opposite ef
fect politically, for the people who
are not actively concerned with the
klan issue are more numerous than
those who feel themselves aggrieved
by it. There are many who feel so
deeply against the klan that they
will make an issue of it in all elec
tions. The eastern states unques
tionably have much of that senti
ment and that’s why the Republic
ans will find the Maine result flung
into their faf.es in the eastern areas.

Police Helped Klan
Frame Anti-Catholic
Photo, Mayor Is Told
DES MOINES, lowa, Sept. 10.—
Members of the executive committee
of the National Conference of Cath
olic Charities, m-.ting here this
week, called on Mayor Garver at the
city hall yesterday afternoon and
charged that a police captain and
two patrolmen who they said are
members of the Ku Klux Klan vyere
implicated in an attempt to frame
up anti-Catholic propagandist mate- .
rial at the Coliseum, where the con- f
ference sessions are held.
They alleged two patrolmen on
duty as watchmen at the Coliseum
were called to the door at 2:30 a. m.,
yesterday by two other policemen
and told that two “newspaper pho
tographers,” who had alighted from
a car bearing a. Nebraska license
number, were going to the roof to
take pictures.
One of the watchmen followed the
photographers to the roof, where,
the committee charges, they took a »
Holy Name society pennant and fas
tened it to the ape on the flagpole,
placing an American flag under
neath. They then took a flashlig't
photograph of the arrangement and
departed.
Members of the conference com
mittee said it was obviously a frame-,
up to get a picture showing the
Catholics flying a religious flag
above Old Glory and to broadcast- /
it as anti-Catholic propaganda.
Mayor Garver called in Superin- $
tendent of Public Safety Jenney and
city attorneys and demanded an Im
mediate and thorough Investigation.'
