JAMES J. WALKER
Says He Will Not Have
Time for Vacation for He
Must Work forthe Tam
many Nominee.
New York, An*. 22.— (A*)— Wm.
Randolph Henrst in his first formal
statement ’ in the mnnieipal primary
campaign published today, said he
will follow the leadership of Mayor
Hylan in the campaign for renomina
tion and re-election wherever the May
or may lend.
Without committing himself as to
whether he would back Mayor Hylan
as an independent candidate if de
feated in the Democratic primaries
September 15th, Mr. Hearst empha
sized be would abide by the mayor's
judgment.
“I will do whatever Mr. Hylan
thinks best to do,” the publisher tele
graphed from his California ranch. “I
have perfect confidence in the lofti
ness of his purpose and the sagacity
of his political leadership.
“The objects which he and I desire
to accomplish in public matters are
very largely the same. They are hon
esty in public life; loyalty to public
interests; honorable adherence to pre
election promises; and equal justice
in government to the more prosperous
and the less prosperous alike.
"The situation presents a choice be
tween honest administration by an
.honest man, or private exploitation
of the public by speculative finan-'
ciers and corrupt bosses, whose rec
ords are discreditable and whose word
is worthless."
Governor Smith, visiting at Glenn
Falls yesterday, was asked if he was
on his vacation in the Adirondacks.
"Thera is not to be any vacation
this year," the Governor replied. “I’ve
got to get back to New York and get
Jimmie Walker nominated,”

originally. ’Tis true, the same body
i would handle it this time, but Ten

MR. BLAIR WILL NOT
TRY FOR THE SENATE
Story PiddMwd in Washington
Denied in Official Circles.
Washington, Aug. 21.—The Wash

“David H. Biair. international
revenue oommieeioiuer, will be tbe
republican candidate next year for
the senate seal from North Carolina
now held by Senator Overman, it was
predicted in political circSles to
day.”
The story asserts that Chairman.
Butler, of the republican national
committee M very anxious to have
Mi*. Bair run. ’
"Butler feels thnt the republicans
have an excellent chance, because of
the growing importance of the textile
industry and the growing support of
the protective tariff, which he claims
is necessary, to develop that in
dustry,” The Herald adds.
It was added that Mr. Blair had
yielded to the desires of national
leaders and gone to the state and
looked the situation over, but he
had not reached a conclusion.
The only trouble with this story,
Mr. Blair said, is it has no fouuda
! tion in fact. He denied it empbatical
ly.
. The interesting part about this
Blair report is that Chairman Butler
' and other big party men would like
Mr. Blair's pob. Had it not been for
Secretary Melton Mr. Blair might
have been ousted long ago. Not be

East Ij\s Vegas, N. M., Aug. 22.
(A I )—Carl C. Magee, Albuquerque ed
itor, today was faced with first de
gree murder charges in the New Mex
ico court, in which he gained national
prominence as defendant in the Ma
gee libel and contempt cases. ■
The charge was filed by the
attorney last night, and a criminal
warrant served on the editor as he
lay in bed at his hotel, bruised from
an encounter last night in the hotel
, lobby with former judge David J.
Leahy during which John B. Lassiter,
of Santa Fe, was shot to death, and
Leahy wounded in the upper left arm.
Eight eye outnesses told practically
the same story. They declared Magee
was seated on a divnn in the lobby
conversing with newspaper reporters,
when W. F. Patterson, a former em
ployee of Magee, began talking to him.
Magee, Patterson and a newspaper
woman noted Leahy's entrance with
the remark, “There is Leahy.”
Witnesses declared Magee, dropped
his left hand into his coat pocket, aud
continued his conversation with the
woman as Patterson backed nway.
Leahy then approached the divan,
witnesses said,' and Btruek Magee on
tlie cheek, knocking him from the seat.
As Magee struggled to his feet, wit
nesses declare, Leahy kicked him in
the ribs.
Magee then drew a pistol and fired
ns Lassiter seized Magee’s arms. The
shot struck Leahy’s arm, shattering
the bone. The other struck Lassiter
in the throat.
The judge walked from the lobby
unassisted. Magee fell sobbing 911 the
'divan, and LaSsiter lying on the floor
nearby, died within a few Hflnutw.
A coroner's Jury at the request oi
the assistant district attorney, ad

KIRKPATRICK MAL RUN
r FOR OVERMAN'S PLACE
Charlotte Lawyer Is Seriously Con
sidering Entering Senatorial Race;
Charlotte, Aug. 21.—Admission to
day by Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick. Char
lotte lawyer and civic leader, that he
is seriously considering entering the
campnign next year for the Demo
cratic nomination for the United
States senate as an opponent of Sen
ator Lee S. Overman, of Salisbury,
was considered tonight by a number of
his friends here as tantamount to an
actual announcement of his candidacy.
In discussing the probability of his
entering the campaign, Colonel Kirk
patrick declared that he would not
think of entering the lists against Sen
ator Overman provided the Salisbury
veteran was the only man in the race,
but when others jumped into the race
the colonel expressed the opinion that
the bars were down and intimated
that he would be one of the number
after the junior senator's toga.
Colonel- Kirkpatrick made special
reference to the general understanding
here that Robert R. Reynolds, of
Asheville, late candidate for lieuten
ant governor, would enter the cam
paign and intimated that if Mr. Rey
nolds seeks the place he also will run.
Colonel Kirkpatrick's anouncement,
or admission, of. his plan to run for
the senate came as something of a
surprise here, friends in his own bail
iwick having heard no previous remark
to indicate the trend of his political
aspirations.
While refusing definitely to commit
himself today, Mr. Kirkpatrick said
he would have a formal statement for
the public within a few days and it
was generally believed tonight that
| this statement would be his formal au
| nouncement as a candidate for the
senatorial nomination next year.
1 Colonel Kirkpatrick is one of the
[ leading members of the Charlotte bar,
president of the chamber of commerce
an active member of the Lions club
> and a leader in many other civic or
ganizations and in the forefront of
any movement designated for the
general improvement of conditions in

SENATOR WADSWORTH IS
GUEST OF THE PRESIDENT
Tax Reduction One Subject Discussed
at Conference at White Court.
Swampscott, Mass., Aug. 22.—(A 3 )—
Tax reduction and reorganization of
the executive department were pro
posed to President Coolidge by Sena
-1 tor Wadsworth, republican, of .New
York, ns two of the major problems
to be pressed at the next Congress by
the administration.
Senator Wadsworth predicted that
| a tax bill providing tax redeuctions
; in both the surtax and normal income
rates would be passed before Marcli
15th when the first payments of the
neW year are due. He advocated that
the administration then put through
1 its plan of reorganization which pro
; vides for a Department of Education
and Relief.
1 Although some opposition has been
' voiced to the provisions of the reor
| ganization bill he was confident it
could be passed in such the same form
as proposed to the last Congress. The
j chief benefit of such a bill would be
simplification of the government work,
and elimination of duplication, thus
, saving in his opinion money to the
taxijpyer directly and indirectly.
Senator Wadsworth believes the in
: come tax rate could be cut down to
a maximum of 25 per cent, including
5 a surtax of 20, per cent., with a nor
’ mal 1 rate of 5 per cent. He was will
! ing to go below this figure if treasury
5 conditions warrant it.

HOUSE SEES WAR’S END
IN LEAGUE OF NATIONS
President Wilson’s Adviser Urges That
America Be Permitted to Take an
Associate Membership.
Geneva, Aug. 22 —Colonel E. M.
House, once personal adviser to Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson, in making his
first visit to the League of Nations he
helped to evolve, revealed that he
took an option on 1000 acres along
the shore of Lake Leman, six miles
outside of Geneva, when the covenant
was drafted in Paris. The plan was to
erect a large palace and a great “gate
way to peace" in honor of the war
dead, but the idea was abandoned
when the United States did not eater
the League.
Colonel House told newspaper cor
respondents that the League was on
ly half a League while the. United
States, Germany, and Russia were
outside, and urged American associate
membership without covenant obliga
tions.
“Had the United States maintained
her wonderful enthusiasm and joined
the League, war would have been ban
ished for all time.” declared Colonel
House. He added that he had embod
ied the essentials of the peace proto
col—arbitration, security and disarm
ament —in the first draft of the cove
nant he wrote in 1918, but President
Wilson thought he went too far.
