Automatically Repudiated Party by Attack on Cool idge and Dawes, Iowa v Committee Decides. ’‘Result of Conspiracy” Dps Moines, la., Oct. 3.—Senator Smith W. Brookhart, in denouncing President Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes, republican nominees for presi dent and vice president, in his Em metshurg speech of today, automat ically repudiated the republican party, the Republican state central commit tee decided after an all-day session here today. The committee issued a statement late this afternoon outlining its views on the Brookhart situation. It is our belief that this action on the part of Senator Brookhart,” the statement said, "has been inspired by the heads of the La Kollette party for the malicious purposes of attempting to turn the attention of the voters from the real issues of the campaign.” '‘Self-Impelled Bolt.” Rather than declaring Senator Brookhart no longer a member of the republican party, the committee de clared in its statement that "the self impelled bolt from republican ranks by Senator Brookhart amounts to a repudiation of and a bolt from the republican party,” brought about him self. "The self impelled holt,” the state ment adds, "is the result of a con spiracy to defeat the right of the peo ple to elect a president at the polls and to force such an election by a congress selected two to six years ago. Ily - • il Pro*. Kmmetsburg, la., Oct. 3,—Senator Smith W. Brookhart, storm center in Iowa politics since his election two years ago. and who startled repub lican leaders early this week with a denunciation of Charles G. Dawes, vi.e presidential candidate, formally opened his campaign for re-election here today with an address, in which he attacked President Coolidgo and "machine party leaders.” The parly. Senator Brookhart charged, has strayed from the ideals of its founders, while the "machine organization,” he declared, had re fused to recognize the will of the people. Referring particularly to his own differences with leaders of his party, Senator Brookhart said that although lie had been nominated "bv 200,000 republicans, without a machine and without money,” and was "opposed by Wall street s money and by the president's power,” his nomination had never been recognized by Presi dent Coolidge as the voice of repub llcanism in Iowa, Outlines Issues. Senator Brookhart declared repub ‘ lican leaders refused him favor be cause be had differed on so many occasions with the national adminis tration, naming a dozen issues over which he opposed the Ideas of Presi dent Coolidge. The Ship subsidy, re peal of the Esch-Cummlns law, the Mellon tax reduction plan, the sol diers' bonus bill, farm relief pro posals and Muscle Shoals were some of the issues upon which he could not agree with the president, the sen ator said. "I belong to the farm bloc: the * president belongs to the Wall street bloc,” he declared, in designating President Coolidge as “the machine republican candidate.” The recital of differences was pre faced with the statement that the senator had promised to "do as much for Coolidge as ho would do for me," and that lie wished the voters to know what each had done for and to the other. Won’t Quit Party. "I have never had a thought of leaving the republican party,” the senator said, by way of reply to re ports that he would leave the party (Tarn hi I’sse Five.

The Mid-West Xewa, art Omaha periodical which has been support ing tlie Da. Follette-Wheeler indepen dent ticket in the national campaign, has Just come out for the re-election of Calvin Coolidge. This is one of the most important switches made so far in the three cornered fight between Coolidge, Da Follette and pavfs. The paper is a labor and agricultural journal with a large nation-wide circulation. J. A. Dochray, editor of the Mid-West News, has returned from two weeks’ tour of eastern slates and in a. signed statement in his paper de clares that the Da Follette forces have failpd in their effort to line up labor. “Wherever I have gone among the Da Follette supporters I have found nothing but pessimism—a condition brought about by the general indif ference, if not actual opposition, on the part of the rank and file of the American wage earners toward the campaign of Senator rD Follette and Wheeler,” the statement reads. "Campaign Destructive. One.” This attitude, Dochray asserts, hr.s sprung "from the inborn common sense and conservatism of these wage farners themselves.’’ lie character izes the Da Follette-Wheeler cam paign as a destructive one "aimed against established institutions long recognized ns a part of our Amer ican life.” The statement continues: "American Institutions and Amer ican standards are at stake in this campaign. American wage earners are vitually concerned in the protec tion and preservation of those institu tions and standards. They prefer the s*an«tsr<is■ s»Slew — they have today, standards which are superior to those of all other countries and Infinitely preferably to the roseate pirtures of a mlllenlum which Da Follette and Wheeler promise them after the house in which they are now living has been torn down. "No Halfway Ground.” "Da Follette Is an enemy of the existing order of things. Ite has ac cepted the unqualified endorsement of the socialists and other radicals. There is no half-way ground. Retween our institutions and those of social ism', the forerunner of communism, there lies an Impassable chasm. We must choose one side or the other. Ta Follette accepts the support of the socialists who expect him to put their doctrines and theories into force, and he must be classed as a socialist by all thinking people, even though he does not lahet himself as such. "I,a Follette Rtands on the social istic. side of 1 tie question. On the other side stands Calvin Coolidge. with a constructive program for the preservation and betterment of our Institutions." Coolidge Record Good. In bis statement, Dochray quotes from several of (lie president's messages to working men to demon strate Cnolldge's Interest In the ad vancement of wage earners. The president's lahor record, the state ment asserts, is above reproach. His determined position in favor of econ omy and tax reduction should appeal to labor, Dochray believes. The editor's statement concludes: "The president wants to help every body's business by making easier the business of making a living. "Because he stands for American Institutions, for common sense and economy In government, and for the rights of all under the constitution. Calvin Coolidge will be re elected, and bis victory. In my Judgment, will mean a more prosperous and happy people, pot only In A meric n. but in Kurope as well, din ing Hie next four years.

Turned Down $12,000 By \«*oeiat«*d I'rria. Chicago, Oct. 3.—President Bat, Johnson of the American league to night i. ado public a hitherto secret f d - ■ c revealing that crookedness was attempted in the first world series ever played, when in 1903, I.ou Criger, famous catcher with the Boston Jled Sox, contesting the Pirates, was offered $12,000 to throw games. The affidavit relates that the at tempted bribe was made by a pro fessional gambler, introduced to Criger two years previous in the presence of John J. McGraw, man ager of the New Yoi k Giants, and Wilbur Robinson, pilot of the Brook i lyn Nationals. President Johnson said the affi davit was made by Criger in Febru ary, 3'*23. at a time when the famous ; catcher, rapidly failing in health, was starting for the west, abandoning all hope of living longer than a few weeks. "It was a statement of a man go ing west to die." President Johnson “aid. "Fortunately, Criger is alive today, however, and is living in Ne vada, " Met Him First in 1901. t'riger.

According to Criger s affidavit, he did not see Anderson again until 190$, when lie met him in the Monon galiela hotel in Pittsburgh when the B<v*tiin and Pittsburgh eluhs were contesting in the first world series played after the settlement of the war between the American and Na tional leagues. Anderson, the affidavit relates, called Criger aside in the lobby of the hotel and offered him $12,000 in cash to throw the games so that Pittsburgh would win. He declared that he had inveigled a millionaire oil man to wager ISO.000 on Boston and that Anderson desired to bet on Pittsburgh. "Why did- you single me out for tills crooked proposition?" Criger asked Anderson, according to his af fidav it. "Be, lose you're Ihe only one cap able of turning the trick, Anderson replied, , Johnson I’.isses Series. Anderson.

By P. C. I’OWBM* Muff Citrrf.p(indpnt The Omaha itfp. Kearney, Xeb., Oct. 3.—Senator ilowell spoke today at Litchfield, Ravenna, Gibbon, Shelton and Klk Creek. As at all other plares he has had large audiences and his calm, busi nesslike presentation of the Issues of the campaign had telling effect. In his addresses today he laid stress upon the "cash register" program of the republican administration. "When the republican party as sumed control of the country, in 1921, following the great war," said the senator, the national debt ex ceeded 24 billion dollars, of which seven billion dollars was in short time securities demanding early re funding. and that in the face of the fart that government bonds were sell ing materially below par. The na tional expenditure for the year end ing June 30. 1921, amounted to $5, 539,000.000. This, together with the enormously increased state, county and municipal requirements through out the country resulted in a tax burden unequaled in the history of the nation. "The first thing demanded was economy and more economy. To meet this situation congress enacted the 'budget and accounting act.* It might l.e well to note that it was a republican congress that adopted this act after bitter opposition from demo cratic members. Debt Reduced. ' Through the adoption of this measure the reduction of the interest on the public debt and the termina tion of some 100.noo civil employes on the public pay rolls, national expendi tures were decreased during the three yeais following an average of $1,877. 000,000. This decrease has been pro gressive and the progress still oper ates as the expenditures for the year ending last June were more than $2,000.0(19,000 less than for the year ending In June, 1921. "in addition, during this three-year period the public debt was reduced $2,750,009,000, which carried with It a reduction in interest charges alone of tl25.0O0.000 annually. There have also lieen two reductions in the In come tax rates and the elimination of many special taxes. In the face of these hug* reductions there was a surplus last June of nearly $500. 000.000. "When all of this is considered in conjunction with the fact that all government bonds are now selling above pat-—that unemployment is neglitrihle—that all short time seeuil tles have been either retired or re funded on favorable terms, and that last year was the most prosperous in our history, why should it l*e seri ouslv believed hv anvone that there is a sentiment throughout the coun try for supplanting the present re publican administration.'' Returns to Oinalia. Senator Howell also outlined to his audiences the reasons for his support of President Coolidge and his reasons for believing that John W. Davis would not !>e acceptable ns president Further he again urged the farm problem as the big question in the campaign and urged it as his opin ion that the country will be bo«t ad ministered under the continued di rection of Calvin Coolidge.
