Plans to Be
Challenged
With Burton as "Keynotrr.'
Presiilent Plans to Lea<l
Party Under Banner
of the Founders
Democrats Are Mixed Up
Washington. April 27.—l.lneup of
the major batte lines In the Brest
.). ntlal election has begun to show it
,.|f as a result of the selection of
Theodore B. Burton as "keynoter”
lor President Coolldge.
As they show themselves ut this
lime, the battle line* wlll lie as fol
lows:
President Coolldge will leud the re
publcan party under the conserve
tire, constructive banner of the
founders of the party.
Mtlk and water republicans will I*
passed by In the laying of the plans
for the campaign, and will have lit
tle or nothing to do with the forma
tion of the party platform, the run
ning of the convention or the man
agement of the campaign.
Conservative Indicated.
Those republicans who have been
Inclined to wander off the straight
party reservation will either have to
get hack Into lino or get out of the
p u-ty councils.
Maneuvering In the democratic
party ranks Indicate the nominee of
(he New York convention wlll be u
conservative.
All those factors point today to the
p,..bahts grouping of th* dlssatlsfleo
den omits and republicans Into a ttlir.l
.ii.riy, with lui Kollette as the nmnl
i;c<« for in'f’Sldrnt.
Those with whom President C.sd
!tp„-.- has talked In the lu/lng of bis
t < r.ipolvn plans have evdently ad
vised him that the way to nie»t the
third party move Is to walk up to it
boldly and f»e»- It iaP> tlw apes, thus
raving himself the dangtr of having
his hand forced.
fir mom I* Most Apprehensive.
Neither the republican* or the demo
crate are viewing the alluatlon with
any peace of mind, It la learned In
the highest <|tiurter«. The democrat*,
with 30 candidates and non* of them
strong enough to secure Instructed
delegatee, feel even more npprehen
v ve than tlv- republican*.
President f'oolldge now has "00 In
etrui't' I delegates. With the pri
maries and conventions during the
Weglc, all of them In territory which
I - coasld' is Ills own, he eipecta to
have more than 1,000. It rerjulre*
only r»f>6 to nominate.
On the advice of the party regular*,
he has evidently determined to purge
the party of all of those who are not
alt wool and a yard wide In their re
publics n Ism
lari'oliclle Improving.
i »n the rpmorrntlc side, the candl
|.ites who hive any delegate* at all,
trr either too wet on the prohibition
• h»iic or will l»e stopped rarlf by *»e
ionnl strife. •
Henator Ixi Kollet te of W Is* on si n,
I adet of lh< progressive*, rapidly Is
returning to vigorous health and will
probably return to tho senate during
he week. He ha* only to beckon
with III* flng< r and the third party
will rally around hi<fi Whatever
liength it will have Is problematical,

My KAMI. II. VON WIEHANM,
t nltnMl Press I nrrssnonrisnt,
Merlin. April ?7.—America defeated
ricrmany end won the war f'>r the
lilies No less nil ntltlinrlty tlmn the
exiled emperor, Wilhelm, II pins the
victory medal on tlie United States,
H«' ought to know
That Wilhelm I* not on hi* throne
today I* became America entered the
war. In a book entitled "Wander
ing* With Kaiser Wilhelm, II.” by
l.leiitensnt Colonel Niemann, attached
to the former kaiser's personnel suit*
during the war. written largely to
Justify and whitewash the ax-kalaer
and "*e him right" before the world.
Wilhelm says many Interesting things.
The most Interesting 1st
"I believe that we would have been
able lo stand against the annihilating
will of the European powers and bro
ken It If the United States had not
appeared on the battlefield#.
“Saw Manger Too lap."
"Their appearance gave the decis
ive turn and forced ua back Into a
strategical and tactical defensive. We
neglected no poealbllltles for main
talrdng the friendliest relations with
the United Htatea. Today we know
that the then president of tha United
State* was determined from tha be
ginning to apply every means to pre
vent the central European power*
from gaining a military victory.
"In maiming nut the work a# the
American navy. It waa brought up to
a point of the highest efficiency, and
a tremendous nnva I and transport
fleet was created, finally, when the
fruit w-sa ripe, the American people
were called to arms
"1 admit that we did not recognlee
this danger In time and that we were
In deceptive hopes that America
would wear the mask of arbitrator
of the world until the flnol peace,"
Nobody Would Help.
Wilhelm wanted to put down the
German revolution In the fall of IVIN
with the army. Nobody would help
or follow him In the book he aaye:
"On November 9 disorders at home
were approaching the stage of revo
lution. I waa ready to oppose revolt
with armed force. I was told flatly
by the responsible men In high com
mand that the army had failed me
flatly and refused to follow me as Ite
commander-ln chlef, to march against
a domestic enemy."
The former kalaer confirm* that It
was suggested by General Oroener
that he should *»ek death on the bat
tlefield, saying:
"Quite aside from that, I reject
tempting God. or even suicide, as un
moral. I cannot see what purpose
would have been served or what bene
fit come from such a staged heroic
role. An act of despair on my part
would have been equivalent to an In
erndlcahle confession of guilt."

World Court Plea
“Dead as Caesar,”
Declares Walsh
Proposal for I . S. Participa
tion I'nfortunately Associ
ated With Lcapuc. Senator
Tell* Women \ oters.
Buffalo, N. T . April 27 —The pro
poaal for American participation in
the world court is as dead as
< *e*iu ' unless the country ran he
aroused to It* support, Senator Wash,
democrat, Montana, declared here to
night In an address to ths I-eague ot
Women Voter*.
■•Unfortunately. It I* associated in
its origin with the league of nations "
■aid Senator Walsh. -Enough. Away
with it.”
•'Singularly enough, the proposal
commended by two republican presi
dents, Including the suggestion a* to
reservation*, has the concurrence of
every democratic member of the sen
ate save ths few who were opposed
to thk covenant of the league of na
tions, and yet It lies moribund before
the committee on foreign relations
without having any part In anv
known program of the rnajsrlty party
for the work of the rurrent session
or any session, for that matter, a sub
ject of jest, Indeed, with the most of
those influential In the framing of
such a program."
Describing ths relation of ths
world court to the league of nations.
Senator Walsh aald the United States
wa# free to submit or not to submit
any controversy to the court. America
may say at any time without of
ten ae, he added, that the particular
controversy Is of a class according
to which the settled policy of the
United States Is never submitted to
the determination of any tribunal or
It may decline to submit without of
fering any reason.
I melting at length on the effect*
of European unsetllemenl. on Ameri
can agriculture Mid business, Senator
Walsh asked that co-opsratlon for
pears and prosperity be extended
through the league of nations wher
ever possible, He slated, however,
that He was not making a plea for
ths entrance of the United States Into
ths league.

In a drive agalnat liquor that
started from the church at midnight
laet night, more than 21 raid* were 4
mad# and a count of prisoner* at
dawn today showed * goodly number.
"It I* the place of the church to
fight evil and fight It with any
weapon at hand." I* the sentiment of
Rev Mr. Rompel. He regards llquoe
as an evil and prohibition law* as tho
weapons to fight It. He can aee no
reaaon, ha says, why the church
should not get behind the law.
"Tno-t»i-n Man" Pa*t«r.
Tha raid* of last night and early
today were th* second conducted un
der the leadership of th# minister.
HI* montha sgo he led a drive that
resulted In closing a score of saloons
and clubs. He gained the reputation
of "two gun man" because of hts abil
ity to draw quickly and daring.
When Rev. Mr. Rompel. Ilk# old
Preacher warrior Muhlenberg, threw
his church mantle aside, he stood re
vealed In the etar of a prohibition
enforcement officer. And at bia beck
and call stood 21 federal prohibition
enforcement agent*.
They met—the#* enforcement offi
cers headed by tha preacher and rein
forced by a ■core of members of tha
Wills ■ onntv law enforcement league
—in the Ottawa atreet Methodist
church at midnight. They had been
dropping In all through th* early
hours of the night. No on* heeded
their coming or going.
No Reaper ter of Persona.
Information as to places where
liquor was being sold had been gath
ered for several wslki by tba pastor
and hi# friends. Th# federal raider*
were given all the information.
Bon Ton club and lowly eelook
alike felt the sop of th# dry squad.
Th# Joliet Poorer club, ultra-fash
Ion a hi* place where young men
gather and sometime# entertain their
lady friend*, was th# first place vis
