' 1 LAST week was the week of the vice presidential candidates. Both Governor Bryan and General Dawes were formally notified of their nom ination, the Democrats getting In tirst as In the case of the heads of the tickets, Bryan In his acceptance ^peecli at Lincoln, Neb., praised'' his purty's plutform as "broad, strong and progressive enough to Justify the sup port of those who believe in equality before the law." He touched on muuy questions but paid especial attention to agriculture, accusing the Republic an party of having changed the farm ers' condiUon from prosperity to ad versity, He / promised the farmer a reduction of tariff rates to enable him "to buy in a competitive market at home and remove ? the restrictions which have injuriously affected the foreign market In which he sells hlB surplus products." '? Without specifically mentioning De fense day, he took h whack at It by deplorlhg war propaganda, mobiliza tion, demonstrations of civilian and industrial resources as a "great eco nomic waste, misleading and unneces sarily inflammatory."^ v GENERAL -DAWfcS, In the pres ence of an Immense throng at his home In Evnnston, 111., declared that this campaign is a campaign of domes tic . issues, and after discussing the League of Nations and the world court he entered on a fiery discussidn of what he -declared tu be the most important of the dqinestlc questions? r "the formidable attack which has been launched on the fundamental princi ples of our Constitution." This, of course, meant I.uFollette, his candi dacy and his alms, and the speaker did 'nof mince words In denouncing the Wisconsin senator. "Bobert M. LnFoiiette," he said, "leading the army of extreme radi cals, has a platform demanding pub^ He ownership of railroads and attack ing our courts which are a fundamen tal and constitutional safeguard fcf American liberties. "Our nation Is asked to leave impor tant constitutional' moorings to fm brirk again into those contests through which It has fought up to the estab lishment of good government. Through the War of the Revolution, through ?the Civil jvar and the "World war, our people have struggled to maintain our constitutional principles. "The/ are asked to follow behind an aggressive personality, who has massed behind him a hetero geneous collection of those opposing the existing order of things, tlx? great est section of which, the Socialists, fi.v the red flag, and Into what? Into confusion and conflict of ideas and into the reopening of war upon those sume fundamental principles of lib erty and the inalienable rights of man which are giving in this country, safe ty 'and opportunity to the humblest, and to establish which the blood of our forefathers was shed. This is the predou^nant issue In this campaign." From the LaFollette-Wheeler head quarters In Chicago came this sole comment : "Mr. Dawes In his acceptance speech violates the law which prohib its the use of the flag for advertising purpose*. He maintains his standing as a profiteer In patriotism. The luw will prevent printing pictures of Cool , Idge and Dawes on the American flag I as a campaign banner, hut they might j appropriately raise a black tlag henr- j j Ing a four-leaf clover and an oil-can I rampant." Governor Bryan said: "The more ? Mr. Dawes speaks, the happier* the j Democrats will be.

These states have 840 votes In the electoral college and only 2(Jt5 votes are f necessary to a choice, All ot Which does not seeip to disturb the confidence of the Republican mana gers.1 This confidence was reinforced last week when a large number of prominent labor leaders conferred with National Chairman Butler In Chicago and assured him that a con siderable number of the men In their unions woul^l support the Republican tlejtet, refusing to be delivered to the LaEollette-Wheeler candidacy.
