BUTLER BITTERLY
ms POLICIES
I OF THIRD PftRTY
*
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—Tn a bitter
attack on the independent force sup
porting Senator Robert M. La Fol
la\te for the presidency, Chairman
William M. Butler, of the Republic
an national committee, declared Sun
day the constitution of the United
States has become the greatest issue
in- tine campaign.
'.-©The Socialist-Third party.” he
■asserted in a prepared statement, “is
’ pledged to the destruction of the
constitution —the destruction of the
supreme court.”
The chairman's statement follows:
“The country at large, irrespective
of parties, has an issue which de
« rnands the attention of all. It is to
constitution.
' “The fundamental issues which
have divided the two major parties
in the past still exist, but a greater
one has arisen. It is no longer mere
' ly a question of issues between two
parties; the life of our republic is at
stake.
Quick Action Vital
* “The Socialist-Third party, under
the leadership of Senator Robert M.
La Follette, has thrust upon us a
doctrine which calls for immediate
* .action if we would save the constitir
H;oir.. The struggle is not over meth
ods of government, but the abolition
of government.
“The Socialist-Third party is
* pledged to the destruction of the
? constitution —the destruction of the
supreme court. The God-given rights
of every citizen of this country to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
"Jlbrness are guaranteed to us by the
This is the document
which Senator La Follette seeks to
destroy, for he proposed that power
be given congress to annul, repeal,
amend or modify fundamental
law.
• “I am not discovering an issue; I
am proclaiming one. It faces all of
. us; it cannot be ignored. There is
■ no middle course; no compromise is
possible.
• “If power undter the Socialist-
■ 'Third party program is given con-
gress to annul the constitution in
any particular, that same power ex'
tends to the document in its entire
ty. There' is then no check which
can be imposed.
Not Mere Legality
<■ “The American constitution is not
a mere legal document of stilted
phrases; it is our bill of rights. The
• constitution is not merely a text; it
is the gospel of our national ex
istence; it is not a promise, it is a
' -guarantee. Calvin Coolidge in his re
ception speech at Baltimore set forth
the danger that threatens us. He
spoke as president of the United
States. His leadership should inspire
us to action. We must save the con
stitution.
“As chairman of the Republican
national committee I have no fear
for the election of Mr. Coolidge, but
as an American citizen I want such
a plurality at the polls and such a
majority in the. electoral college as
will forever allfty the specter of con
stitutional destruction.”

make me a stout and well woman.”
