OAVIS HITS MELLON.
WILBUR. HUGHES IN
' NEffIWEECHES
\ NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Driving fur
ther north and west into New York
state from Albany to Utica fbr a
noon day address and thence to
Syracuse for an evening meeting,
John W. Davis continued today his
attacks against the Republican
r party, its reccud during the Harding
and Coolidge administrations and his
appeal for support of voters to the
Democratic national and state tick
ets in the November elections. At
the same time, Mr. Davis, speaking
as the Democratic presidential nomi
nee, reiterated his opposition to the
» administration’s foreign policy,
charged that the navy has deterio
rated in efficiency below the 5-5-3
ratio fixed by the Washington
armaments conference and reviewed
other subjects touched upon his ad
dress here last night.
The candidate found time also to
submit to two treatments at the
hands of “Jim” Cullen, physical in
< structor, who is making the state
► * tour and probably will remain with
Mr. Davis throughout the campaign
to aid him better to withstand the
grind of travel and work still ahead.
Those who have observed Mr.
Davis since he started out soon after
his nomination by the New York
agree that he should give
■nop; consideration to his physical
■ftdmliticn than has been his practice
p to date. While he has withstood the
« ordeal remarkably well, his friends
say they can notice effects of the
strain and believe Mr. Cullen’s em
ployment will lead to beneficial re
sults.
Hughes and Mellon
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., came In
for a passing reference in Mr. Davis’
Albany speech. The Republican
gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Davis
said, would find himself embarrassed
if he continued to praise the party
he represented, for negotiating the
*’naval reduction treaty and defend it
for allowing the navy to fall below
the 5-5-3 ratio which the treaty
fixed. Mention also was made of
Secretaries Hughes and Mellon, one
relating to the address made by the
secretary of state in Ohio when Mr.
Hughes said the issue of the cam
paign was whether Mr. Coolidge
should be continued in office, and
the other describing the treasury
secretary as a defender of the “alu
minum trust,” cited by Mr. Davis as
being one of the outstanding bene
ficiaries of the Fordney-McCumber
tariff act.
In his reference to the foreign
policy question, Mr. Davis said he
could see only two courses open to
this country. One was to arm the
nation to a point where it need not
fear aggression even from the united
strength of other powers, and the
second was to meet all other powers
in conference and build up under
standings which would make future
aggression impossible. he pointed
out the refusal of the V>’ashington
*■ government to attend the Geneva
conference called by the League of
Nations to consider questions of
abolishing war, of arbitration, of re
duction in armaments and the codi
fication of international law.
"There is neither safety, honor
nor glory in a there policy, of drift,”
Mr. Davis said.
“Such a policy leads inevitably to
a situation that not only deprives us
of the power to make up our own
1 minds, but also the chance to make
our will effective when our minds
are made up. The country has a
right to know whether we have a
foreign policy and if so, what that
policy is.”
In reiteration of his charges of
corruption in public office during
the last three and a half years, Mr.
Davis declared that the Republican
party “can not cover its failure to
perform its past promises by mak
ing new promises for the future.”
. Sowing Seeds of Hatred
"The worst crop failure this conn
. try ever saw,” he said, “is the fail
ure in the crop of Republican per
formance compared with the sowing
of Republican promises.”
The second question of importance
tn be settled by the November elec
tion, the candidate asserted, was
that dealing with the growth of sec
tional feeling in the United States.
“Nothing is clearer than that the
policy pursued by the Republican
party and approved by President
, Coolidge,” he said, “has succeeded in
selling the agricultural west against
the Industrial east. For 50 years
the fiscal policies of the United
States have been dictated by an in
dustrial bloc, to whose prosperity
the farmer has been compelled
, against his will to contribute. . . .
with this, we have a
nd<’ effort to pit the north against
thR south. Since the Washington
Post has seen fit to publish in full
the extraordinary outburst which
Secretary Wilbur—the latest of the
‘best minds’—was prepared to emit
nt Denver, we get some idea of the
‘ extent to which mon are willing to
go fo’- partisan purposes.
“No wonder his party associates
were dismayed at his frankness, and
that an extinguisher was promptly
clapped on his official head. Ap
parently it was his intention to
wave once more the ‘bloody shirt,’
and preach against the crusade of
civic hatred.”
Another question to be settled at
, iho election. Mr. said, was
» that of rule of privilege as against
the rule of equality.
“Os all the victories which priv
ilege ever won in congress,” he said

Nation’s Most Exclusive Club
Has No Charges Nor Dues
for Finest Service to
Members
BY GENE COHN
NEW YORK, Oct. B.—To live in
the nation’s most exclusive club, one
must:
Be past 60 years of age.
Be cultured.
Have known wealth and luxury
out, through ill fortune, have been
reduced to poverty.
Must have had, in addition to
weath, refined surroundings.
Must be absolutely without money,
with no place to turn.
Must be married, preferably to
the partner of weath and adversity,
as all the quarters for single folk
are gone.
The club charges no dues. Admis
sion is free, and members do not
pay for their board and lodging.
30 Selected ,
Thousands have sought admission.
Only 30 have been taken in. Most
of the applicants who failed did not
meet the requirements of culture, as
all members must fit into the en
vironment.
And the environment is a million
dollar palace, more gorgeous than
the most exclusive clubs and hotels,
as sumptuous as any millionaire’s
estate.
It is possibly the most astounding
heritage ever left—the gift of the
late Andrew Freedman to the “in
digent rich.”
Freedman was a multi-millionaire.
In his declining years he was at
times beset by a fear that suddenly
he might lose his fortune. And
then where would he go? Accus
tomed to every luxury and service,
where would he turn?
The Poor Bankrupt Rich
There must be many persons like
that, he thought. They, of all poor
folk, were the most unfortunate, in
his opinion.
There were homes for the poor of
in this connection, “one was so
sweeping as the present, iniquitous
Fordney-McCumber tariff. Its rates
were written by the very men who
hoped to profit from them.
“With much tribulation and agony
of spirit, an investigation has been
completed of the rates of duty on
sugar. Here the Fordney-McCum
ber bill fixed the hightest rates in 34
years. The result was a tax upon
the American people of .$225,000,000
a. year, $100,000,000 of which went
into the hands of the sugar inter
ests. What it meant to them is il
lustrated by the fact that the Great
Western Sugar company earned for
the year* ending February 29, 1924,
according to its own figures, a net
profit of $12,000,000 on a capitaliza
tion of $30,000,000. In November,
1922. the tariff commission began
an investigation of this subject. On
the 31st of last July it laid its re
port on the president’s table recom
mer’ding a reduction. Sixty days
have gone by without action.”
Promises Lower Taxes
Mr. Davis favored lower income
taxes and reduction of "other taxes’
as rapidly as possible.
“Os one thing the voter may be
sure,” he said, "if he elects a Dem
ocratic president and a Democratic
congress his relief will come as soon
after March 5, 1925, as congress can
be gotten together,
"Sooner or later, and better soon
than late, we must decide whether
we must stand by the distribution of
governmental power which was
made at the beginning or set up an
entirely new scheme in its place.
Home rule or not, that is the ques
tion. . . . Each locality can look
after those things which concern it
better than a horde of office-hold
ers, sitting in the District of Colum
bia and sending their spies and
agents abroad throughout the land."
was received by a crowd of workers
outside the gates of one of the gi
gantic industrial plants. The work
ers had waited to greet him nearly
a half hour after their day's labors
ended.
Mr. Davis said he counted it a
fortunate thing that, at the end cl
a busy day when the men and wom
en who heard him had closed theii
office and put away their working
garments, they were still ready to
i talk about the affairs of their gov
ernment.

all sorts and conditions, but how
could persons of culture, refinement,
aristocratic tastes and habits adjust
themselves to ordinary retreats?
Only the most exclusive and ele
gant surroundings could make this
class of person feel at ease. They
had a deeper pride; they suffered
more in want, Freedman believed.
Every Luxury
And when he died he left $4,000,-

tial mansion to house the poor little
once-rich. He emphasized that they
must have every luxury.
To date $1,000,000 has been spent

which resembles a millionaire club
more than anything.
Applicants are put through the

ABOARD BRYAN SPECIAL EN
ROUTE TO NEWTON, KANS., AT
LAWRENCE Kans., Oct. 7.—(By the
Associated Press.) —Governor Bryan,
of Nebrasko, made his first rear-plat
form speech of the campaign here
today, speaking for a few minutes to
a gathering duringa drizzling rain.
The University of Kansas is lo
cated here and the Democratic vice
presidential nominees stressed the
importance of honesty as an essen
tial auxiliary to a college education,
so that the coming generation “might
be of service to the state and na
tion.’
"Without honesty an educated
man becomes a menace,” he said,
adding that a college education was
not needed "to determine right from
wrong, but moral courage was re
quired .to take the right side of a
public question.”
Governor Bryan referred to Gov
ernor Davis of this state, as "a man
who is conducting a courageous
fight in behalf of the common people
to establish equality before the
law.”

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., began his
three-week upstate speaking cam

room in the Stratford theater.
Mrs. Roosevelt sat with her hus

climbed with him into motor trucks
to speak beside the railroad in the
afternoon. When State Senator J.

Suit Against Cohen
Would Disfranchise
Every Negro in U. S.
NEW ORLEANS,. Oct. fi.—Walter
Cohen, negro comptroller of customs
for the port of New Orleans, said to
day he was not worrying over the
prospect of the filing of a suit to
enjoin him from further performing
the duties of his office on the grounds
j that he is a person of African blood
I and descent and, therefore, cannot
; be a citizen of the United States.
The suit, which was to be filed
■ today in federal district court by Ed
; win Bolte, who said he was an at
jtorney of Washington, D. C., is aimed
at the validity of the fourteenth
amendment, and Cohen, apparently,
is merely a side issue and the means
of bringing it before the courts.
Should the suit be successful it would
have the effect of disenfranchising
every negro in the country.
The suit, which was made public
prior to filing in the court, charges
that the fourteenth amendment was
adopted illegally in that it was not
proposed b.v the necessary two
thirds of each house of congress, nor
was it ratified by two-thirds of the
I states.
I The suit was filed this forenoon
No order that the defense show cause
was entered and as a result it has
20 days in which to file an answer.

WHEELER'S CUBE
OF SECRET SUBSIDY
• WWENIEO
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Secretary
Work denied knowledge today of
“the secret contract between J. P.
Morgan’s Alaska Steamship company
and the government owned Alaska
railroad,” fixing division of freight
rates between the two concerns on
joint shipments which last night was
made the basis of a campaign speech
by Senator Wheeler, independent
vice presidential candidate.
“In the first place,” Mr. Work
said, “the senator is talking about
transactions which occurred in the
interior department before I en
tered the office. Secondly, you can
be sure that I never wrote any letter
asking that anything be kept
secret.”
WHEELER CH\RGES PACT
FOR SECRET FREIGHT KATES
WHEELER SPECIAL EN ROUTE
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 7.—Senator
Wheeler, independent vice presiden
tial candidate, took his speaking cam
paign today into Oregon. His sched
ule called for an early arrival at
Portland and for a departure for
California on Wednesday.
His California engagements prom
ised to keep him the balance of the
week in the northern half of the
state.
Last night at Seattle he intro
duced new topics into his speaking
repertoire dealing with the conduct
of the Alaskan government railroad
and alleged banking transactions in
Massachusetts at the time President
Coolidge was governor of that state.
The candidate charged that there
had been with Interior Secretary
Work’s approval, “a secret contract
entered into between J. P. Morgan s
Alaskan Steamship company on the
one hand and the government-owned
Alaska railroad on the other,” which
fixed divisions of freight rates be
-1 tween the two concerns on joint
shipments He exhibited a copy of
the contract which he said Senator
La Follette, independent presidential
candidate, had been unable to ob
tain from Secretary Work.
He also attacked President Cool
idge in a, prepred in advance text
which recited an account of banking
transactions in state funds when the
president was governor of Massachu
setts.
“Senator La Follette one year and
a half ago asked Secretary Work
to furnish him with a copy of each
contract entered into by the govern
ment railroad and the Alaska Steam
ship company and the Pacific Steam
ship company,” Senator Wheeler
said. “I have here Secretary Work’s
copies of three unimportant and per
fectly regular business contracts.
Secretary Work, no doubt, believed
he had disposed of Senator La Fol
lette.
“I am now holding up for your
view the contract which Senator La
Follette wished to see and which he
has seen despite Secretary Work’s
misleading letter. It is a secret
agreement as to the joint rates on
freight shipped by the Morgan
steamship lines and the government
railroad between the ports of Seattle
and Tacoma, and points on the gov
ernment railroad. Why should a gov
ernment railroad make a secret
agreement with anybody?
“How can one justify the grant
ing of such concessions to a big ans
rich powerful business combination
as against its small competitors?
Here is a combination trying to ob
tain a monopoly over the resources
of Alaska; instead of seeking to
break it. That is the meaning of
the contract which Secretary Work
endeavored to hide from Senator La
Follette.”
Attorne General Rustgard, of
Alaska, Senator Wheeler proceeded,
obtained the copy of the contract,
and a letter declaring that it “was
not for general publication, nor for
the public,’’ while he read a para
graph from the exhibited document
which said, “the Alaskan engineer
ing commission and the steamship
companies will treat ... all di
vision arrangements as confidential
and promulgate the information to
interested employes only.”
Concluding this subject Senator
Wheeler said that one of the first
steps proposed by the independent
ticket candidates was "the breaking
of this unfair, illegal hold of the
Morgan-Guggenheim group upon the
land and water transportation of
Alaska.”
"1 ask your close attention to the
following facts,” he proceeded. "In
l.)_0 Calvin Coolidge was governor
of Massachusetts. Joseph C. Allen
was state banking examiner and
Fred C. Burrell was state treas
urer. Max Mitchell was president of
the Cosmopolitan Trust company of
! Boston, which failed September 25
of that year, causing losses to over
22,000 depositors.
‘Under the Massachusetts law
the deposits of state funds in any
one bank must not be more than 45
per cent of the bank’s capital stock.
i*’ suit resulted. State Treasurer
Burrell testified as follows:
That about 1 a. m. on a sprin"
day of 1920 Max Mitchell, president
of the bank, called him on the tele
phone, saying that unless he recived
money from some source before the
; bank opened that day, the bank
would go broke. . . . That he

iUge to whom he talked in company
with Bank Examiner Allen and Max

BEPUBLICJN SWING I
TH DWIS W IOWI. I
SHOTBILITL
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Spc. .al Leased Wire t<> The Journal—-Copy
right, 1924.)
SIOUX CITY, lowa, Oct. B.—This
is a city in which the viewpoint of
three neighboring states, South Da
kota, Nebraska and lowa, tend to
converge, and the amount of Lai
Follette sentiment noticeable is an |
outstanding characteristic.
It may be because in this region
the agricultural depression hit its
hardest blows. Possibly it was be
cause land speculation and other
economic errors found more victims
here than elsewhere. Anyway, there
is a distinct antiadministration
tone to the situation and President
Coolidge is obviously on the defen
sive.
The result of the balloting in these
three states should be examined
after election day for reasons other
than the tallying of electoral votes.
If the combined Democratic-La Fol-
Tette vote should exceed that of
President Coolidge, the senators
from this section will feel encour
aged to keep up their differences
with the administration. Should the
president, however, poll a major
ity of the votes, he can feel that his
administration and conservatism
generally have been approved. It
may have a bearing on the vitality
of the farm bloc in the next con
gress.
While there is much talk about
La Follette, and unquestionably the
protest vote will be large, the ques
tion now is how big a lead will the
Wisconsin senator get in this end
of lowa where organized labor and
farmers are contributing so ma
terially to his cause. The informal
polls take nshow President Coolidge
in the lead by I,a Follette a close
second. If western lowa alone •were
to decide the result, it might be a
simple matter to reach a conclusion,
but the other sections of the state
must be canvassed in order to form
an intelligent estimate. The writer
proceeds to Des Moines tomorrow.
Not. All for Brookhart
There are, however, certain signs
in this part of lowa that Senator
Brookhart will not carry with him
all the Republican voters and that
his outspoken denunciation of the
Republican vice presidential nomi
nee will cost him some regular votes
he might otherwise have gotten.
Several conservative Republicans,
for instance, are openly saying that
they intend to vote for Dan Stech,
the Democratic candidate for United
States senator. If Mr. Brewer had
kept out of the independent Repub-
column, undoubtedly Senator
Brookhart would have had his lead
in the state cut down.
The Republicans who favor Brook
hart, on the other hand, are not all
of them hostile to President Coolidge.
It all depends on how many Re
publicans can be carried along by
Brook hart to the La Follette col
umn. Still the Republican majority
in this state is so big that the party
would have to be split fifty-fifty to
make lowa go for La Follette,
though a coalition of Democrats and
lui Follette votes might be sufficient
to squeeze the state for the third
party candidate.
Most of the well-informed men in
this end of the state concede that it
is a defensive struggle with the
contest so close as to make the out
come largely a matter of conjecture.
For one thing the reaction to the
Brookhart attack on Coolidge has not
fully developed. The next two weeks
may see a distinct cleavage between
Brookhart and La- Follette on one
side and Coolidge and Stech on the
other.
John W. Davis’ opportunities to
carry lowa lie entirely in possible
change of sentiment in the last
weeks of the campaign. Should it
become apparent that La Follette is
going to carry lowa, many Repub
licans may turn their votes to Davis.
Almost anything might happen in
lowa.
Nou Hi Dakota Close
South Dakota is another close
state. The Democrats have an ex
cellent chance there to elect as
United States senator U. G. Cherry.
Seven candidates are opposing Mr.
Cherry. Four of them are for Cool
idge and three are non-partisan
leaguers. In a state which has eight
candidates for United States senator,
any single man who can keep a nu
cleus together has the best chance
to win. That's why Cherrv’s chances
are excellent. The Democratic vote
is relatively small, however, and be
fore the end of the campaign Gover
nor McMaster, a radical who is sup
porting President Coolidge more or
less perfunctorily, may capture the
lead.
There is another reason why South
Dakota is unique. The third party
has had a long start there. As in
Minnesota, a Farmer-Labor party
has sprung up. But the Democrats
who were forced into third place by
the situation in 1920 moved back into
second place in 1922 when the Re
publicans polled about 75,000 the
Democrats 55,000 and the third party
40,000 votes. La Follette seems to
be assured of a consolidated support
notwithstanding the distributed ef
fort of the seven senatorial candi
dates.
The rare is between La Follette
and Coolioge in South Dakota with
1 • utuat i° n so arranged on account
of the loca linterests that Mr. Cool
idge has a fairly good chance of car
rying the electoral vote.

18TH AMENDMENT WILL DIE,
DARROW PREDICTS;
CAN’T BE ENFORCED, HE SAYS
People of Independence and
Courage Always to Stand
Against It, Distinguished
Attorney Declares
CHICAGO, Oct. 7—Clarence Dar
row, attorney for Nathan Leopold
and Richard Loeb in the trial for
killing Robert Franks, declared in
an address here last night that I
while the eighteenth amendment
never will be repealed, “it will die
because people of courage and in
dependence will stand against it,”
and because it “cannot be enforced.”
His declaration that “all the
presidents, mayors and public offi
cials in the country can’t enforce
it,” came after Mayor William E.
Dever, who preceded him, asserted
that he had no apologies to make
for his campaigns against liquor law
viatalions and was “willing to sac
rifice my party and myself if I can
attain for the community what- I
am aiming at.”
His aim, he said, was to deliver
Chicago from foreign bootleggers
and poisonous liquors, and “to de
termine whether the streets were
to be safe for the people or
controlled by a gang of New York
crooks who were making millions
of dollars.” Before the eighteenth
amendment was passed, he contin
ued, “I was never known to be
drier than I ought to be.”
The mayor said he believed in
enforcing the laws as they are on
the books. “If you are not fond of
the laws tell your troubles to the
congressmen and ask them to make
some revision,” he said.
Mr. Darrow replied, “there never
was a public official who enforced
all the laws. If he did he would be
driven from office.” ,
He referred to discrimination
against negroes, which he said was
in violation of the thirteenth amend
ment and told of laws against pro
fanity, gambling and Sunday laws,
one of which forbade landing of
passengers from boats.
“I believe the preservation of
human liberty is one of the most
sacred things for which men can
fight,” he added. “Those opposed
never sleep, they make money out
of it and would reduce us to slav
ery if they could.'’
The occasion of the addresses
was a banquet tendered Anton Cer
mak, president of the Cook coun
ty board, an avowed opponent of
the eighteenth amendment.

SEN. J. HUM LEWIS
SPECIFIES MS OF
FUE DE G. 0. P.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 7 Prefac
ing his remarks with a compliment
to Senator James A. Reed, Demo
crat, Missouri, as “an inspiring ex
ample of public servant of unques
tioned integrity,” former Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois,
in addressing a Democratic rally
here Monday night, attacked the Re
publican campaign of 1920 as one
of misrepresentation regarding the
League of Nations.
He said:
“They informed the Germans that,
if they entered the league, Germany
would be surrendered to France,
and that Ireland would be subjected
to England if she entered the
league. They knew it w-as false.
The Germans now see the league
is for peace and desire to join that
body.”
In his speech Senator Lewis at
tacked the Coolidge administration,
especially the Mellon tax plan,
soldier bonus veto, alleged corrup
tion in oil deals and the tariff law.
He also condemned the Cincinnati
speech of Secretary of State Charles
E. Hughes, paying him a high per
sonal tribute hut attacking him for
declaring Coolidge was the issue.
“Why put Coolidge back in pow
er?” asked Lewis. “There is no
promise of tax reduction; the taxes
now are 575,000,000 dollars in ex
cess of the year before. The civil
taxes people are paying in times
of peace are more than during the
first year of the war.”
Speaking of La Follette-Wheeler
ticket, the speaker declared it was
due to conditions caused by Repub
lican rule, asking: “Has any as
surance come from Coolidge that he
will not ask a repeal of the soldier
bonus bill?
“No, he is a silent man.’’
In closing the senator said the
only remedy was one which the
Democratic party will bring.
