VOLUME XXXI, No. 286 LEASED WIRE SERVICE. DANIELS TURNS GUNS ON HUGHES’ DECLARATIONS Davis Denounces G. 0. P. Thrice In Day Carries Issues io Ohio, Indiana INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—John W. Davis, democratic nominee for president, carried his campaign in to Ohio and Indiana again today, delivering three speeches in de nunciation of the republican party, its leaders and the administration of government affairs at Washing ton. The third address was made here tonight, after appearances earlier in the day at Urbana, Ohio, and Richmond. Ind. Mr. Davis called attention in both the Indianapolis and Richmond speeches to what he described in “four years of rapid promise and reckless misgovernment,” and de clared “a continuation of the pres ent situation’’ would mean no Coolidge or chaos but Coolidge and then chaos’ ” At Urbana he declared Ohio would be found in the democratic lists on November 4th. and said there was reason for democratic confidence on that point. BUSINESS CONDITIONS REVIEWED AT LENGTH Business conditions were review ed at some dength by the candidate in Indianapolis. He said that re pub'ican administration took office three and one-half years ago and had failed to stabilize business con. ditions or restore a feeling of se curity. Tn this connection Mr. Da vis compared the last three years of the Wilson administration with the first three years of the Hard ing-Coolidge administration. "Take bank failures,” he said, “in the years 1918, 1919 and 1920 there was a total of 189 bank failures; in the years 1921, 1922 and 1923. a * al of 1,221 and during the first six months of 1924, a total of 428 banks failed, with liabilities more than double those of the last three years under Wilson. "In commercial failures the re ord is equally striking. During the last three years under Wilson there were in the entire country 20,314 failures; during the first three yeaX.s.under Harding and Coolidge there were 02.048 with —li«4>ilit4ea- three times the liabilities of those who .failed in the Wilson admini stration and in the first six months of 1924 there have been 10,785 fail ures with liabilities more tha nlialf of the total for the entire years of 1918. 1919 and 1920. “In order to divert attention from these unpleasant facts and to throw a smoke screen over the pitiable record of the last three and on?-half years, republican spokesmen, head ed by President Coolidge, are now going jnto hysterics over the men ace to the constitution presented by the third party. They are trying to persuade themselves end persuade the country that the proposal put forward by Senator LaFollette, that congress shall have the power to override a decision of the supreme court is the real issue upon which the American people must pass in this campaign.

WORLD'S SERIES WINNERS GET CHECKS AND GO HOME Twenty-Four Checks, Each For $5,959.64, Handed Out—Players Chip In For Wade Lefler WASHINGTON, D. C —The world's champions of 3924 as a baseball team, disbanded Saturday, leaving th elr record engraven in the permanent history of the sport and in the mem ories of its followers. Ceremonies marking the disintegra tion of the fighting aggregation which brought Washington her first league and series pennant were in formally staged Saturday in the local clubhouse. They consisted of the simple handshake, a slap on the shoulder and "see you next spring.” As most members of the team de parted by train and automobile for their several homes or for the scenes of winter activities. i Prior to leave-takings. Manager; “Bucky” Harris appeared with a fist full of checks marking the winners' split of the world series "take.” There were 24 checks, each for $5,959.54, drawn to 22 active members of tho Senators, with two additional made out to Nick Altrock and Mike Mar tin, the club trainers and command ers of what in the army would be the morale section. LEFLER AND BAXTER ARE "FIXED UP.” The players themselves chipped in for Wade Lefler. for B’rank Baxter, the lame hat boy and the ground keeper squad, and the Washington (dub wired a bonus of SI,OOO to Wid MaTth'ews, who was—sent -to Saera mento in mid-season as part of the $50,000 deal which brought McNeely here. President Clark Griffith de clared as he signed the check that the “dividends” on that investment were fat enough to justify a generous view of the situation. Uncle Sam, as a silent partner in the enterprise , will receive SIOO,- 310.40 through the internal revenue imports. An official statement from the treasury Saturday placed the total admissions at $1,093,104, upon which a tax of 10 per cent will be levied. There was little to suggest the tri umphant contestants of a season’s battles in the little group at Ameri can League park Saturday. Reticent as they were to discuss the series, each player denied having any particular part in the victory, as cribing it generally the "bunch," or Harris’ leadership, and in some cases to the “breaks” of the game, dismiss ed queries Saturday with the asser tion that "It was a lucky bounce that did it.” The only unanimity was In (Continued on page seven) | corroborated Saturday by officers at Mitchel Field. They declared the radio fan undoubtedly saved the aviators from a dangerous situa tion. for they were flying with a full load of bombs and a forced landing might have been disastrous. Joyce was listening In on a con cert. he said when he heard out of the air the words: “Please tell Mitchell Field that Captain McClelland, flying with bombers from Langley FieliJ, is lost somewhere between Barnegat Bay and Atlantic City.” Joyce put in a telephone call for Mitchell Field, meanwhile keeping an ear glued to his receiver. Cap tain McClelland kept on broadcast ing. He told that one of the bomb ers had "cracked” —later found to have been Captain E. W. Duncan's mhachlne which was forced to land at Lakchurst. N. .1. He to!d of trouble with his send, ing apparatus and inability to com municate with Mitchel Field, of desperate attempts to compute his position by the cities, rivers and railroads he flew over. At last McClelland found himself east of Sandy Hook. "But I can't get Mitchel Field” he said on the radio. "I can’t see Its landing lights. Please tell Mitchell Field to locate me." By this time Joyce was in tele phone communication with the field and McClelland’* voice came In so strong It was transmitted from the radio loud speaker to the ’phone transmitter and he talked directly to officer* nt the field. Shortly afterward* they heard the farr-off whirr of motor* flashed him langlng slgna’s and he, with hi* crew of three and their cargo of bomb* landed. Mitchell Field reported It since had learned that McClelland was at one time nearly over Philadelphia. The field did not pick up his dis tress signals because of the trouble with the broadcasting system of the bomber. THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES— THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOM§S. Governors of Georgia and South Carolina to Sponsor Teams In Georgia-Furman Clash Here V f • • •' ■ Ujflr al GOV. CLIFFORD WALKER OF GEORGIA STATES WORKING OF CONVICTS AT SOLDIER HOME NOT ILLEGAL ATLANTA, Oa.—Charges made in the recent investigation of the Confederate soldier’s home here hy a special legislative committee that the working of convicts at that in. stltution by the state prison com mission was in violation of the state laws, were denied Saturday by Judge T. E. Patterson of the prison commission. Judge Patterson pointed out that prisoners were used In numerous state Institutions to install sewers and do other emergency work and asserted that around 25 convicts were assigned regularly to the Uni versity of Georgia. The authority whereby the pris on commission is allowed to work the convicts in the soldiers' home, was pointed out by Judge Patter son in section 1201 of Parkers’ code of Georgia laws which says in part: “Provided that the prison com mission shall have the authority In their discretion, to place any num ber of said convicts on- the state farms, to be used in said farm as the prison commission may deem best; and the commission may at any time when such labor it need ed. upon the request of the authori ties in charge, place as many aB fifty of such convicts at work upon the property of any state institu tion.” Judge Patterson pointed out that Superintendent W. E. McAllister of the Confederate soldiers’ home, is held responsible for the prisoners, Is under bond and a warden. He further asserted that Superintend ent McAllister viad informed him that a savings of $5,000 was made annually by the use of convicts, which amount Mr. McAllister was enabled to reduce the appropriation for the home this year. "It would be better of course to have experienced nurses to look after the aged veterans said Judge Patterson. We have always tried to send only dependable big hearted men out there.” JUDGE TAFT ILL WASHINGTON.

Working co operation between business and the public “in accord with the dictates of common sense" was held up Hat urday night by President Coolidge in an address by radio to employes of the 11. J. Heinz Company, gath ered at banquets In various cities to eelebate (ho anniversary of the founding of the business, ns the. “true and practical ideal" wished by tho government. Tho supremacy of tho govern ment had been tho main motive dominating tho economic and po litical development of recent years, ho said, adding that it has brought the public Interest Into the equa tion of modern Industrial and com mercial relations. But the government, Mr. Cool ldgo declared, prefers to let business go Us own way "so long as that Is the right way; so long as it is tho honest and genuine service to tho real public." The government, lie coni limed, must lie the servant of the “puhllc welfare and the crea tion of an Informal ami seasoned public opinion." DECLARES PRIVILEGES CANNOT DOMINATE. “It cannot ho dominated by any privilege!!, ’’ the president warned, “It cannot bo RUliaervient to any private advantages. It must al ways represent the public. With llio hearty sympathy of both busi ness and tho people, wo have made a long advance toward ouch a standard. There aro encouraging signs of readiness *n go farther on tho same way. The government will surely bo prepared to give nil encouragement in such a program. For, by thoso methods only shall we bring about a proper balance; a secure and lasting adjustment of tho supreme individual interest by bringing It Into harmony with the highest consideration of the na tional welfare.” Tho people of America will keep control and ownership of their property. Mr. Coolidge insisted, “as a preliminary to the maintenance of their supremacy over their gov ernment.” when the governmeriF fiTgtim to own property it begins to own peo ple. They want all those powers in their own hands.” Exemplifying the changed atti tude of the public and interest In thnlr now relations, Is the changed policy toward consolidations In railroads, Mr. Coolidge said. Faint ing out that tho public has now sanctioned a consolidation In the railroads by act of congress, by compulsion If necessary, he de clared "there Is gratifying Indica tion that this new program Is go ing to he nccepted and put Into ef fect without resort to compulsion.” REFRS TO NEW BUSINESS STANDARDS. Referring again to the new bus iness standards and the govern ment's position, the president de clared the Ideal now Is that neither concentration nor competition shall be permitted to the extent of In juring the public Interest. "Whether a business unit is good or bad,” he said, "Is tot be deter mined not by Its size, but by its practices. No business Is allowed to set aside the law of supply and demand, the rules of open bargain ing and fair competition. The su pervisory and regulatory power of society, exercised through the pro cess of government, Is brought In as the supreme authority. No bus iness may hold itself above con sideration of the public Interests and recognition of public rela tions. If It will not fully and vol untarily adapt themselves to these conditions then they will bn Im posed upon It by the force of law. "That, It seems to me, Is sub stantially the present, day attitude toward the relations of business nrid government. It Is pretty general ly accepted as a safe and proper rule, although there are Infractions from time to time. The regular policy is fixed and both business and the people have generally ac qulesced in It.” Big Window of Dog Show Building An Attraction For Augustans Saturday Night The big show window of the old J. R. White store building wa* ablaze Saturday night with electric light* nnd beautifully-draped bunting In national colors, a brilliant background and setting for the display of Augusta-bred pup* of flvo different breeds.

TELEGRAPH PHONE 20 3 6 AND S A Y 4 SEND ME THE HERALD Assails Work of Present Regime WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secretary Hughes' recent campaign speech In Cincinnati wag made the particular target of an attack delivered against the record of the present administra tion here Saturday night by Josephus Daniels, who served as secretary of the navy under President Wilson. Mr. Daniels took as his text for a radio address, the declaration of Mr. Hughes that ‘‘we not only have com mon honesty in this country, we have a sense of humor." This, said Mr. Daniels, shifted the republican cam paign to a new stragetlc base. “The conspiracy of silence,” he continued, “broke down everywhere in the country except the White House. Oh, I forgot, and in the navy depart ment. It was converted into a deaf and dumb asylum until after election. The muzzling of Wilbur was not a new policy, however. Every respon sible man In the navy department wae muzzled at the Washington con ference while the secretary of state became secretary of the navy, hauled down the American flag and handed over the suprmaoy of the sea to un tain, the supremacy of the air to France, and the control of the Pacific to Japan, "A NOVEL METHOD OF CAMPAIGNING.” "The secretary undertakes now to nmko a Joke of a long aeries of scan dals and rejoices that »e have u sense of humor. It Is a novel method of campaign big. But Mr. Hughes Is a past-master at practicing it; not to speak of his ability to see a Joke which did not exist In the Income tax law, which as governor of New York he opposed, or his sense of hu mor because of Ids political asso ciate, Newberry, whom he defend ed, nr his ability to laugh up Ills sleeve at the trick of the famous proclamation of the thirty-one that the only way to Insure entrance by this country Into the league of na tions was to elect Hurding and Cool hlge.
