DAVIS ENTERS FINAL LAP OF CAMPAIGN
To Give General
Restatement ot
Issues at Stake
NEW YORK.— Entering
the final lap of his presi
dential race, John W. Davis,
democratic nominee, work
ed Monday at his home in
Locust Valley preparing his
wind up address scheduled
for Saturday night at Car
negie Hall.
He contemplates making
a general re-statement of
campaign issues at this
meeting and is drafting his
speech for that occasion
wMicare.
SPEAKS TONIGHT
AT JERSEY CITY
At no time %ince he prepared the
speceh ot acceptance delivered at
Clarksburg, W. Va„ has the can
didate given himself over so com
pletely of the task of speech writ
jnpr.
His work Monday was interrupt
ed only by the engagement which
jas to take him Mondav night
from his home to Jersey City for
an address there.
Mr. Davis has been requested to
speak regarding his attitude on
labor and to contrast the record of
the democratic and republican le
gislative bodies on labor matters.
A reference to Senator LaFollette's
offers to labor also has been sug
gested for inclusion tonight in the
Jersey City remarks.
The candidate has addressed
himself to these questions since his
return from the middle west and
has made known his dissent re
garding the LaFollette plan.
In his last speech here Mr. Davis
emphasized his objections to the
Wisconsin senator's proposal to
give congress supreme power and
make final judgment of its own
authority, taking away from the
courts the right to say when that
body has exceeded the authority
vested in it by the people.
“I am not willing,” Mr. Davis
said then, ‘‘that the relation of this
government between the federal
government and the state of the
Union—shall lie with congressional
discretion and I am not willing,
my laboring friends, that your
right to organize—which I believe
to be a right predictated upon the
life, liberty and happiness clauses
of the constitution—can be denied
to you by any change majority in
congress, or in a state legislature.”
Dawes Continues
War on LaFollette
ALBANY. N. Y.—Beginning the
day here, Charles G. Dawes, repub
lican vice-presidential nominee
Monday conducted a rapid fire at!
tack on the LaFollette independent
candidacy in /a trip across New
York state.
The day’s itinerary included
speeches here, Syracuse, Utica and
Rochester. The Rochester address
to be made Monday will conclude
Mr. Dawes eastern speaking tour.
After the meeting he will leave for
Chicago.
The nominee on beginning the
day's schedule announced that he
would continue to devote most ft
his *ime to attacking the/laFollette
candidacy, declaring “that is the
only issue in this campaign and
what is the use of discussing the
other issues bound up in it?”

easies over the week-end, netted

Monday by more than 50.000
visitors. The Shenandoah returned
to her hangar after a trip of 9,000

Commander Zaehary Lansdowne,
at his home this afternoon, said the

QUIT
DOS ANGELES. Cal.—Though
two former secretaries of the navy
were present when the govern
ment’s lease cancellation suit
against the Pan-American Petrol
eum and Transport Company went
to trial last Tuesday, neither of
them had yet taken the stand as
the battle for control of the Elk
Hills Naval oil reserves swung into
its second week Monday.
Testimony by Josephus Daniels,
secretary of the navy under Wood
row Wilson had been looked for
early in the trial, in view of accusa
tions made against him in the open
ing statement of Frank J. Hogan,
chief defense counsel, to the effect
that during Daniel’s administration
the Standard Oil Company was per.
mitted to drill wells at the boundary
of naval reserve No. 1 apd to drain
the resources of that territory with
out molestation. It was announced
last night, however, by Owen J.
Roberts of government counsel, that
it was by no means certain that
Daniels would be called, as “until
the case is further advanced It will
be possible to determine whether
his testimony will be needed.”
The other fbrmer secretary of the
navy who attended the opening ses
sion of the trial was Edwin Denby,
during whoso administration the
Pan-American leases and contracts
were awarded. He also is here
awaiting call to the witness stand.
Taking of testimony was to be
resumed in federal court Monday at
2 p. m. with Edward S. Finney,
assistant secretary of the interior
on the stand.. Finney, who was
holding his present position when
Albert B. Fall was secretary of the
Interior, testified last week that

ALLIED EXPERTS
Open Three Weeks’ Confer

PARIS.—A conference of experts
representing the allied and asso

with three weeks work before it,
the object being to prepare the
ground for a meting of the finance
ministers which will probably be
called toward the end of next
month to consider distribution of
the reparations from Germany ex
pected under the Dawes program.
The American claims for about
$300,000,000 in additon to $240,000.-
000 due for the costs of the Ameri
can army of occupation during its
stay in the Rhineland, probably will
not be actively discussed until the
plenary session of the finance min
isters although they may be pre
sented to the experts for prelimi
nary consideration.
James A. Logan, Jr.', American
observer, with the reparation com
mission will represent the United
States both at the present gather

Conference and will be assisted by
a staff of American experts.

Nation Observes ‘Navy Day’

WASHINGTON —The navy “kept

Roosevelt.
In every harbor at every na
val establishment the public was
invited to inspect the workings of
the arm of sea defense. In addition,
at various stations, patriotic cere

airplanes flew over much of the

Lawyers and Educators ot
Both Parties Assail G. 0. P.
Assertions on Peace Work
NEW YORK—Republican asser
tions that the question of America's
participation in the work of estab
lishing world peace does not enter
into the present campaign are called
a “perversion of essential truth” in
a manifesto issued Monday night by
a group of lawyers, educators and
business men of both major parties.
Voters who believe America should
support all concerted efforts for world
peace and, in particular, the efforts
of the league of nations are urged to
examine the statements of President
Coolidge and John W. Davis and to
vote for Mr. Davis on the strength of
their contents.
"American adhesion to or whole
hearted co-operation with the bague
of native is, among all the polltices
advocated by the contesting parties,
the policy which is nearest the hearts
of millions of men and women en
titled to vote In the pending elec
tions,” the manifesto reads In part:
"Mr. Coolidge has stated with great
explictness that all thought of Am
erican participation in the league has
been abandoned by him. In his first
message to congress, he said:
" 'The incident, so far as we are
concerned, is closed.’
“Furthermore, he has made It plain
that no hope can be entertained that
he will make any endeavor to secure
acceptable modifications of the lea
gue's covenant or to organize a new
association looking to the same end
—the latter a futile suggestion at
best, In view of the great and in
creasing activity and Influence of the
existing league.
LAUD STAND OF
JOHN W. DAVIS.
“Mr. Davis equally explicitly has
announced In his acceptance speech
and again recently, his conviction
that America should, and ultimately
must Join the league upon such con
ditions as will banish any lingering
fears that the constitutional powers
of congress are thereby to be in any
way limited or compromised," the
attsfement continues.
“The issue Is plain.”

ly when the churchmen generally
help the newspapers by reporting
these things promptly to their local
editors and to the news agencies.
You will be interested in knowing
that newspapors nro publishing
more church news than formerly.
"The aim of the Associated Press
Is to report what Is really worth
reporting. We do not avoid crime,
but wo do not revel In It. While we
do not claim that we spread only
‘whatsoever things are of good re
port,' we endeavor to avoid scandal
and chit-chat, the divorce court and
the gutter.
‘‘May I not suggest to the church
men attending your conference
as I would to business men and
thoughtful men generally that, they
give their support to those Journals
which with good temper and good
Judgement without malice and
without meanness, endeavor to
make their cities better places to
live In. stressing neither that which
is unclean nor that of evil report,
but endeavoring to be fair to all
and to report honestly ‘whatsoever
things are true,'
“I want you and your eo-work
ers to know that The Associated
Press always will be glad to handle
anv news regarding church activi
ties that is of general Interest.’
