CAPITAL (Continued From Page One) he will appear before the. Southern society to give a message to the south, which he was obliged to strike from his itinerary. His only en gagement for Thursday Is a luncheon engagement with President Harding. Leaves Washington Friday Whatever Clemenceau plana to de liver here In the way of a broadside In his campaign to win American sympathy and participation In the at fairs of Francs will be reserved for Friday his last day In Washington. Col. E. M. House, who arranged th Tiger's tour of vthe United States, emphasised the point that Clemen oeau's one and only formal address here will be the one he delivers Frl day afternoon before a conference of Public Opinion on World, Peace, to be held under the auspices of the International Lyceum and Chautau sua association. On his way to Washington today from St. Louis, where he delivered his fourth formal address in this country, Clemenceau stopped off at Baltimore for six hours and delivered a short talk before the Maryland His torlcal society. In It he voiced plea for a better understanding be tween the people of the United States Wardrobe Trunks Wool Sox Wool Scarfs Traveling Bags Clothing Co. Reliable and those of Franee, and declared he wae going to take home the message: Don't fear. America Is In the same place. The feeling we thought she had toward us, and which we have toward her. Is put on such a solid foundation that It cannot be moved forever." He said he realised there might be differences between the two govern ments "about Interests and actions and activities." "But what Is that," he exclaimed, 'differing on a matter of today, hlch is not a matter of tomorrow? The bottom of It la that we must not differ on things that are lasting. Great Maay Defects. "We have a great many defects. We are full of faults, and I wish you would see them In order to love ue better.

So this Is the ettuatlon, if you all vote the straight Democratic ticket, all will be well: but If you fall to do this, all will be wrong and the devil will be to pay. "With klndnest regards and best wishes, I am, ' Very truly yours." Mr. Braham writing to the friend who aent him the letter said In part: Hesitates te Believe It. 'There is something about thla letter which makes me hesitate to accept It as genuine. Assuming that has the Intelligence of an or dinary individual, I cannot understand his writing such a fool letter. Then, too, thore are so many repetitions of material facts, it would appear the letter was written by someone other than a lawyer and for the purpose -of either getting our organisation into trouble or libeling Blank. I thought best, therefore, to write you and ask it you are sufficiently acquainted with the handwriting of Blank to say that this is a bona fide letter from him. If it Is, he should be put in the asylum instead of the penitentiary. Mr. Brambsm suggests also the necessity for finding the forger. It It Is . a forgery. In answer to that comes the fol lowing: "I don't blame you one par ticle for- doubting the genuineness of the letter. However, I will state that I have the original letter written upon' the stationery of Blank and Blank, Inclosed In an envelope of Blank and Blank and the letter' la signet with pen and ink fh the handwriting of Blankety Blank Blank.. (I am familiar with hie handwriting and have some of It) and above all Mr. Blank admits writ-. tng the letter. He haa boen to see us aaklng us to give him back the letter, and he haa sent C, J. and C. E. to us for the same purpose, and there Is no denial of the authority of the letter. The letter came into our handa through Mr. C. E. Tou will observe in the letter, a request to let C. and Mr. C. E. read It and C. J. Just gave -Mr. E. the letter! told him to do as hs pleaaed with It and Mr. E. delivered It Into our hands. Flagrant as the federal officials re gard the letter, It Is by no means certain that the lawyer will be pros ecuted. It la equally probable that he could not be convicted becauae hs fhas the refuge of attorney and client relationship. By pleading It he could say mat ne ottered this advice as a lawyer counseling a client In die, trees and not aa a bribe or an lnttml datlon of a voter. The Republicans earns into noises slon of the letter about the time that J. W. Bailey sent his fatuous message to Governor Morrison's leg islature, in Johnston Democratic elections officials are being prose cuted. In this Instance the Renub- llcans feel much moved to storm the legislature sgaln for some vital amendments to the election law. Sines Mr. Bailey has drawn the fire of the organisation which always has voted down any proposals to amend the primary or election laws and has made the absentee voters' act more objectionable than ever to the Re publicans, the. party management is more disposed to take this case to the political eotyt and to the forum of popular conscience than to try It out in a federal Jurisdiction. Hitherto open electlona have been, oeieatea Because tne party mange, ment Jhas insisted on "preserving contact with wis voters." Tha quoted section Is much laughed at by the women who desire the Australian ballot In the letter from the lawyer it win be observed that the "con tact" - has been "preserved."
