Davis, democratic candi-. date for president, was returning to New York Friday from his final tour of the middle west prepared to begin Satur day the closing program of his personal campaign with an intensive drive in great New York and vicinity. AGAIN SPEAKS OF SECRET SOCIETIES The candidate ended his middle western trip Thursday night in Cleveland with what was describ ed as the most extended pronounce ment regarding the Ku Klux Klan and other secret organizations made in recent years by a presiden tial candidate during a campaign contest. It was a spontaneous de claration given in answer to a heck ler and would not have been in cluded in the Cleveland address, he said, if he had been permitted to follow the outline of the speech prepared in advance. Mr. Davis told members of his party Thursday, however, that he was glad the questioner had inter jcc.ed the subject of secret or ganizations. He had believed, he said, that his positon in th e mat ter had been clearly stated and made known to the country through pub!.cation of previous addresses. His Chicago experience and that in Cleveland apparently had re flected a desire for a new state ment, Mr. Davis said, indicating that his belief as to the general knowledge of his attitude concern ing secret societies had been er roneously founded. j BEGUMS DRAFTING i FINAL ADDRESS The candidate devoted himself during the journey east to prepar ing data and going over details of the remaining .seven days’ cam paign schedule. He began drafting his final address to be delivered in the evening of November Ist at Carnegie Hall and hopes to be able to. conclude that task several days before the date fixed for its de livery. The swing through the middle which began two weeks ago and was projected into Ohio. Ken tucky. Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee, is believed by the candidate’s close advisers accom panying him to have materially improved the chances for democra tic victory in some of the states visited. Mr. Davis has declared his con fidence at almost every speaking point that this "is a democratic year” and all that party has to do is ‘t'o reach out and take the vie- I tory that is wihtin its grasp.” In formal statements issued in Tennessee. Missouri and Indiana, | particularly, the candidate said he was "certain” success would attend his cause on November 4th.

Y., where he is sched uled to deliver an address Friday night. Senator Robert M. LaFol- I lette, independent presidential can | didate, declared in a statement ' “that is is being whispered about by bankers, railroad operators. Indus trial trusts and the press controlled by them that should LaFollette be, elected there Will be a panic, that credit would be shortened and that banks will withdraw their support 1 to business. “This is the same old bluff that j has been used at this stage of every ■ campaign in which there has been I a real issue,” he continued. “In 1912 when Woodrow Wilson was a can didate, the fianciers and trust mag ! nates threatened that if he was elected there would be'a panic. He was elected and there was no panic. 1 They have used it in state elections. | They have even used it in city elec tions. It is a sure sign of reaetion | ary distress. CHALLENGES STREET’S COURAGE “I do not question the power of Wall Street to produce a panic but I do challenge their courage to put through the consipracy which they proclaim with the penitentiary staring them in the face. "Panics have been brought on by the banks have in their power to control the industrial life of Ameri ca and to bring on a depression. And they now are boasting that they have it in their power to con trol the way men should vote as well. “I intend to meet treason, bribery and terrorism as any other crime against the state should be met. If I am elected, as I fully'expect to be, and this wicked thing is done or attempted to be done, the de partment of justice with all its I agencies of investigation, will be in structed to bring their crime ! against a free people face to face ( with summary justice. The punish ment shall be swift and sure. “I will go further than that. Un der the federal reserve act, bank ing is a qua si-public business. It is under government supercision, our credit resources are assumed to be agencies of relief rather than of plunder. They are supervised by a governmental agency, the federal reserve board. I shall instruct that board to consider any such action by any member bank to be a crim inal defrayal of Its relations to the government. I shall instruct it to treat any such bank as an enemy of the public, and as such an enemy to be unworthy of partici pation in the favors which the fed eral reserve system has in its pow er to grant. / SAYS PUBLIC MONIES IN PRIVATE BANKS “I will (to further than that. There are hundreds of millions of public monies In the treasury that are deposited in private banks. There are hundreds of millions of postal saving which are also de posited in the national banks. There are other millions of which the government is trustee which are de posited in the national banks. "I shall instruct the proper agen cies of the government to remove such funds from any banking in stitution that makes war on the free voice of the people in this way. Any Institution which engages in such a criminal conspiracy shall be deemed unworthy of the confidence of this government of yours. In other words, no man or group of men, can make war on the free sovereignty of the people to satis fy his private gre'*d. No man, or group of men shall destroy the wealth of others without paying the price of such destruction. And no bank shall be trusted by this gov ernment of ours that has shown it self unworthy of such trust. “Hhis is the elementary principle of democracy. And under my ad ministration this government of ours will protect the people from 1 such treasonable acts.” THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES.
