Nqw York, July 31. ? The Eastern political Iwttle ground
Was toeing observed today by the lenders of both Democratic
and^ ^publican parties. The return of John W. Davis from
?fair.e vacation enabled him and bis campaign manager,
Clem Siriver, of West Virginia, io have the fust hcail to
heart talk since Mr. Shaver's appointment.
ler, of the Republicans, after
a- brief stay in the Central
West, was once more east of
the AUcghanies with confer
ences. in Boston, New York
and -Washington on his pro-^
Krnm.
Mr." uavin anu Mr. sn av? r had
a ''Rot together" lo enable thrni
to speak tu. one In the future. 1'p ?
to this time the Democratic cam
paign chief has moved cautiously
and has boon Inclined to ?"doubt"'
some of the views attributed to
Mr. Davis. In the future he hopes !
to he. In a position to ufTlrtn or
deny.,?. . '
The whole plan - or the Davis
campaign Is to he mapped out In
a series of conferences here and
at the Davis home In i/ocust Vnl
l"V. Long Island, while (he caudl- i
date is at work on his speech of
acceptance. Mr. Davis is not j
averse, to a ionic speaking tour.
Ho in tailing to bear any burden
the Democratic leaders may feel
called upon to place hn his vigor
ous shoulders. But Mr. Davis per-!
poually believes more Is to l?c
gained by radio broadcasting than
by the attempt to visit too many
cities and? towns. Every sugges
tion made thus far is tentative. It
is recalled that the Harding cam
paign plans were shifted ill the
midst of the buttle and the Dem
ocrats are going to leave their
program flexible enough to take
care of any emergency.
Republican spokesmen denied
today that Chairman Butler had
hurried East because or reports
from Wasbfagto nthat President
Coot'igQ did not appear to be in
as ' t>* physical condition as his
managers would like to have him
at tho beginning: of the campaign.
It was r.dmlttod that Secretary of
-War Weeks and other intimates
of the President bad urged him
recently to leave Washington for
a time and to take at least a ten
days' or two weeks' rest from his
official duties. This the President
has been reluctant to do.
Mr. Butler has cotue Hast be
cause the Republicans admit their
campaign - Lv developing. JjqIo a_
two sided battle. They are com
pelled to flght tho third party or
I ?a Pol let to movement in the gran
ger states of the West and North
went. and to try to hold the Dem
ocrats in check In the East. It Is
no secret flint the Republicans
hoped the Democrats would nom
inate a Western or Southern man,
!.<> that they could concentrate
their Are virtually In one section
of the country. The nomination
of Mr. Davla. balling from West
Virginia, but living in New York,
unquestionably put an added bur
den upon tho Republican ma
chlnv.

has been tltt* contention of the do

The latter claim that the ef

on sugar reduced or removed was
Intended as a blow to the domes

In 1919 and again in 192.1 at
llmeB when there wan no domestic ?
sugar on the market.
A circular Issued by the it. s.
Sugar Association, composed of
most of the large refiners, states
that continued pressure from tho
duty free or domestic sugars hare
caused declines in raw sugar to
n 1-4 cents a pound as compared
wltli 5 1-2 cents a year ago. The
statement goes on to speak of the
"extent of the pressure" exerted
by the domestic sugars "at tho
expense of the Cuban holders"
and points out that the estimate
qL- the domestic crop this year
placed at 838.000 long tons
means an increase of 49,000 tons
or fi per cent, as compared with
1923. while storks In (Alba are .

and surprise in some sections of
the sugar trade today. It was
noted that Senator LsFollette's
statement declared "sugar Inter

the report, but that differentiation I
was not made as to which "Inter- 1
ests." The sugar trade Is sharp
ly divided on the subject of tar

refiners advocating such a reduc,

of sugar beets, and cane In ths
Continental (Thlted States, Porto

oppose it. ?
The surprise to the trade, how

in the fact that Senstor La Pol -

align himself with Interests he
was believed to oppose _?ud against
agricultural iMtrdTTcers of the Mid
