La Follette
Bryan Pact
Is Revealed
[Wheeler Declares He Would
^ Vote for “Brother Charlie”
if Election Goes
to Senate.
Lxpected to Aid Coolidge
Senator Burton K. AVheeler. La Fol
letlo candidate for vice president, has
confirmed the charge of Nebraska
democrats that there Is a deal be
tween La Follette and the Bryan end
of the democratic ticket. The Mon
tana senator In a speech at Boston
Thursday boldly announced the pro
pram of the La Follette movement a?
follows:
First. He predicted that La Follette
would get enough votes to prevent
Coolidge from having the majority.
Second. He predicted a deadlock In
the house in the selection of a preBl
<:■ nt.
Third. He announced that in the
voting in the*senate for vice presi
dent, he ns senator from Montana
would cast Ills vote for Bryan.
The Associated Press, In referring
t . Wheeler's open announcement of
th" La Follette plans, carried the
following dispatch: I
Washington, Aug. 21.—New Eng
land has been selected by the l-n
Follette forces as their first cam
paign battle ground, it was an
nounced by the speakers’ bureau
today.
” Leading off with a speech Labor
day afternoon on the famous Boston
common, Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana. the independent vice presldcn
ttal candidate, will deliver another
address that night in Worcester,
Masts., and during the days immedi
ntely following expects to speak at
the rallies in Portland, Me.; Man
chester, N. H-: Providence, R. I.:
>A-w Haven, Conn., and probably in
several other rities in that section.
Wheeler made the prediction that
there would he <1 deadlock in the
electoral college, throwing the dec
tion of a president into congress
If this should occur, and Dawes
end IJryan were the two men to be
voted upon by the senate for vice
president. Wheeler said he would
support Bryan.
Surmise Is Confirmed.
The charges heretofore made by
eld line Nebraska democrats have
been based largely upon their knowl
edge of political tactics of Charles
W. Dryan and his brother, W- J. To
them the Bryan-La Follette deal was
self-evident. They did not expect,
however, so early a confirmation.
Xow, with the confirmation that
comes in the speech of Burton
Wheeler, there comes to the mind of
every Mullen and Hitchcock demo
orat In Nebraska a vision of the
■'harmony clubs" and a biting re
mernbranre of the Bryan double-cross
that made "Brother Charley" gover
nor of Nebraska and swept Senator
Hitchcock from office.
At this writing It is Impossible tc
get any of the victims of the Bryan
harmony club program to volcr
publiciy their Indignation at wha1
L to them now is complete confirma
!■ tion of a Bryan-La Follette conspir
acy.
These democrats, however, art
quietly passing along the word end
it seems certain that in Nebraska
at least, where the Bryan tactics are
fully understood, there will be enougt
democratic votes cast for Coolldgr
and Dawes to “make sure" of. Cool
idge and thus block the scheme tr
make Bryan president through th<
back door of the senate.

Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 22.—Dr.
H. W. Evans, imperial wizard of the

today, said that the strength of the
Invisible empire would be thrown
against the presidential candidacy of
Senator La Follette of Wisconsin,
while a neutral stand would be taken
in the contest between President Cool
idge and John W. Davis, the demo
cratic candidate.
“La Follette Is the arch enemy of
the nation," the statement said. "No
man who endangered the success of
his nation in time of war is fit to
hold any office, much less occupy the
position through which the country
must stand or fall.
"Both Coolldge and Davis are na
tionals and Americans, aides of the
klan In the attempt to 'Americanize
America1 and for thla reason the klan
will take no part In the political strug
gle as far as they are concerned."

Davis Flays
Klan; Scores
Oil Scandal
Democratic, Nominee Warn
ing Hooded Organization,
Says It Shatters Amer
ican Ideals.
Wins Wild Applause
Seagirt, N J., Aug. 22.—The Ku
Klux Klan was denounced by name
here today by John W. Davis, the
democratic presidential candidate.
In a fighting address to the de
mocracy of New Jersey, Mr .Davis
condemned tha^ and any other or
ganization raising the stand of racial
and religious prejudice. Then he
called upon President Coolidge as the
standard hearer of the republican
party to join him hy "some explicit
declaration” in "entirely removing
this topic from the field of political
debate.”
In naming the klan in this, the sec
ond address of his campaign, the
democrat nominee again brought
into open an opinion which “rent the
democratic national convention that
nominated him and led to the mem
orable Saturday night battle in Madi
son Square Garden which culmin
ated in a record vote and a majority
of four against denunciation of the
Klan hy name in the party platform.
Names Klan After Conference.
Having discussed it rather fully in
liis acceptance address, Mr. Davis ap
parently did not Intend to refer to It
gain In his address here. He told
his audience that since his arrival
here from New Vork last night he
had been asked hy more than one
person as to the views he entertained
toward the klan. Decision to state
his position clearly, once and for all,
as he put it, is understood to have
rrystalined at a conference which Mr.
Davis had iast night with several
pkrty leaders at the home of Governor
Rilzer. Besides the governor those
reported to have participated Included
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
lemocrntlc national committeeman
from hts state; Joseph P. Tumulty,
former secretary to I'resident Wilson,
and Thomas J. Spellacy, director of
the eastrrn headquarters of the na
tional campaign organization.
Mr. Davis voiced his declaration re
gardlng the klan at the conclusion of
a general address In which he vigor
ously scored the republican party on
the record of the scandals disclosed at
Washington and pointed out the chief
points on which ttie two parties differ.
Apparently few In the audience
looked for such a declaration. When
the nominee, with out thrust Jaw and
vigorous gosture, first, flamed the
klan there was a hush. But it was
only for an instant. Cheerlngs broke
from the thousands gathered on the
Camp Sllzer parade grounds and hats,
handkerchiefs and pennants were
waved enthusiastically.
Interrupted hy Cheering.
Again and again he was Interrupt
ed by cheering Rnd there were cries
of "good boy," "that’s the stuff,” from
hts audience. Mr, Davis said st the
outset that the issue was one that
had no proper place In this or any
other campaign and that he men
tioned It In the hope that he might
dispose of It once and for all so far
as he was concerned.
Reminding his hearers that in his
Clarksburg acceptance address he had
affirmed his "personal belief in the
great guarantees of religious freedom
and relgioua toleration which have
made this country what It Is,’ the
nominee declared he had sought to
give his views In terms sufficiently
broad to Include any and all forms
of bigotry, prejudice and Intolerance.
”On that declaration I stand," he
said. "Whenever any organization,
no matter what it chooses to be called,
whether If K. K. or by any other
name, raises the standard of racial
and religious belief ns a test of fit
ness foi public office, It does violence
to the spirit of Amsrtcnn Institutions
and must be condemned by all those
who believe as I do In American
Ideals,

I repeat that these mnttera must not
be permitted to divert the attention
of the public from the vital question*

Mob Fights
to Hear Plea
of Darrow
Chief Counsel for Defense De
clares Public Prejudice Ex
ists Because of Slay
ers’ Wealth.
Attacks State Experts
By rnlversal Service.
Chicago, Aug. 22.—The major of
fensive to save the lives of Nathan
Leopold and Richard Loeb was
launched by the defense late today.
It was the argument of Clarence Dar
row.
Probably never before did a crim
inal lawyer enter upon his plea for
mercy under such conditions. A fren
zied mob battled to hear him.
Judge John R. Caverly, who is to
pass on the fate of the slayers of
little Robert Franks, ordered a spe
cial detail of officers to clear the
courtroom and restore order. A bail
iff's arm was broken and a score
suffered minor Injuries.
Darrow waa eloquent. H» storm
ed and pleaded: shook his shaggy
head and waved his arms. The argu
ment was to be his masterpiece—his
greatest effort In the 40 years of his
practice. The lives of X^eopold and
Loeb was the prlxe he hoped to win.
When the college students con
fessed they kidnaped and slain the
little schoolboy the public believed
nothing could save them from the gal
lows. Darrow came forward as chief
counsel for the defense. He promised
they would not die on the gallows.
The court should concede mitigation
because of their youth and thplr men
tal condition.
DwelLs On Riot.
So Darrow stood before Judge Ca
verly today, summing up sll the evi
dence he had presented, appealing
to the human heart for mercy.
H°w quick Darrow waa to catch at
every development that might be
played upon to the advantage of his
clients waa shown this afternoon
when the spectators rioted.
That rioting gave him a talking
point. He used It to Illustrate the
prejudice that exists against the alay
ers. Indicated it was one of the rea
sons why a trial by jury was not de
manded. XXe said:
"We are here with the lives of
these boys Imperiled with the puhllc
aroused. Why? Because their par
ents have money: noting else."
Then he pleaded that Judge Caver
ly show mercy because of the tender
years of the slayers—one 19 and the
other 20.
"Never haa there been a case In
Chicago wherein a plea of guilty by
a boy of 21 haa resulted In a sentence
of death. I will raise that age and
say never haa there been a case
where a human being under 21 or
30 has ever been sentenced to death,
i *nd now this state's attorney says
I here he must hang two boys, eon
| trary to every precedent in thle
| state."
Complain of "Cry For Wood."
Darrow complained he had "heard
I nothing here but the cry for blood"
i md "vow» and threats to hang the
toys.'' Then he read from Black

Americans to Proceed
By Associated Press.
Reykjavik, Aug. 22—Scout plana*
which w#r* dispatched today from
the American warship* patrollng th*
north Atlantic, to look for Lieutenant
Locatelli, Italian aviator, who left
here with the American filer* yester
day, but failed to arrive at Fredericka
dahl, Greenland, were forced by dens*
fog to return to their mother ship*
this evening without having found
any trace of th# rr.lselng airman.
This was learned In a message re
ceived here tonight from the Danish
supply ship Gertrud Rask, which Is
at Angmagsalik on the northeast
roast of Greenland. Although very
little news from Greenland wae re
ceived today, it 1* believed her* that
there 1* no cause for alarm a* to the
fate of the Italian flyer who ha* not
been heard from since he was sighted
by the American vessels during the
earlier stage of the American filer*'
hop from Iceland to Greenlond.
Since yeaterdayy, It 1* understood
that th* weath*r off the Greenland
coa*t ha* been good, the winds favor
able and the sea smooth and It is be
lieved most likely that Lieutenant
Locatelli mad* a landing on one of
the fjords between Frederlcksdahl
and Ivlgtut on the weet coast of
Greenland.
The Gertrud Rask, which took up
her station at Angmagsalik when it
was exported the airmen would fly
to that point reported that ft was
clear of Ice and that It expected to
arrive here by Monday.

It Is suggested by some of th* *x
