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,” ACCUSED AT SEVENTY OF DESTROYING HOME Burke County Man Sued For $50,- 000 on Alienation Charge.

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 , the city and state. 11l Feeling Against Bolsheviks in Shanghai.

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. Three Are Killed In Kleclric Storm.

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.

Colonel House told newspaper cor respondents that the League was on ly half a League while the.
