Washington, ? Aug. liQ.? GcueliU Charles G. P.i wes'j
sneech of acceptance awakens here among Republicans even
more enthusiasm than the address of I'resideiu Coolidge ? ;
i.ot because he expounds the issues any more skillfully but j
because he takes an aggressive position. And politicians like
the fire of an attack.
It was the Republican Vice'
Presidential nominee's attack
pit La Foil cite and radicalism,
however, which made it in
spiring to the Republicans. . I
What??ver nilKgivlngK there may
hove been immediately after (Ik* ;
Cleveland convention wlim Gen- j
eral Duwei was nominated, over ;
tin* iiroti-Mt of friends of Pnnldcnt
Coolidge who feared the C fleet of ,
<1 ii i 1 iMr. ?' <...?! |..|?>r
utterances-,- there in no doubt now i
that since La Pol let te has cnti>ri'i
the race and labor Iibh endorsed
l*aPolk*tte, the Republicans ar<
more than glad of a champion of
Dawes type who appeals to the
conservative business interests of
the country.
The whole Republican strategy
now is to gather Democratic and
Itepubllcan conservatives under
the Coolidge-Dawc s banner with
out making any effort particular
ly to coax tho radicals Into line.
There are more conservatives If
the combined Republican and
Democratic strength In measured
than there are radicals, especially
those of the extreme type. Mr.
Dawes concedes that John W. Da- 1
? vl?* la- Kftfn ?nil sound but argues
that the three-cornered fight may j
P'eadlock the contest and make]
Governor Uryan President. The
Democrats will use the same ar
gument no doubt to convince la
bor that by voting for IwtKollette
they are throwing their votes
away.
But as an example of Repub
lican doctrine which fits in with
the desires of conservatives who
think the only way. to kill LaPol
let*lsm and radicalism Is to knocl:
It 'In to the head by strong utter
a.lc'H, the speech of (jcneral
Dawes Is the first gun In what
--ti wy . -b?* -lu? Ll.. A . XUlfiJCltiitL
offensive on his part all through
the campaign.
His prestige in connection with
the settlement of the reparations
problem has given him more than
ordinary powers to attract atten
tion. He In not the usual kind of
Vice l^-esld'ntlal candidate. His
speeches will draw crowds and
will be read. So while the silent
Calvin Coolidge will conduct' the
dignified campaign of a President
seeking continuance in power, the
Vice Presidential nominee will en
gage In the "rough and tumble"
game of politics and hit hard. Ills;
speech of acceptance was along ?
"thai iihr. ? rrr tumm annum i?
Pollette by name and condemned '
his program unequivocally. Prom
now on there will b?: no quarter.
(?eneral Dawes, moreover, Is to
be the nnlmated answer to crlt I - '
cisni that the Republicans have j
done nothing on forolgn policy, j
Every day's news dispatches tell of
the operation of what has been ,
called the Dawes plan. If Kuropei
begins an era of recovery and
prosperity Is reflected back to
America, tho Republicans will
keep on talking about the Dawes
plan. The speech of the Vice
Presidential candidate contains
po new promises of constructive
legislation but argues that the
policy of l<aPollette Is unsafe and
unsound and that the surest way
to avoid 1t Is to stick to the con
servative band wagon with a
ticket that Is conservative at both
ends. The suggestion of General
Dawes that the Democrats are
"straddling" between the two ex
tremes Is a keynote In Itself. It
Is what the Republican managers
will try-to accomplish In the cam
paign -they want the public to
h*Ve t he Impression that tho light
Is between radicalism and conser
vatism of a common sense sort
and that there la no middle
"g round.

no doubt there will be an answer
to the question! raised by General
Dawes.
