Attacking
Constitution
He Declares
.f.a Follette Candidacy Ani
mated by Vicious Purpose
of Undermining Country,
Tells Wisconsin People.
Appeals for Full Vote
ll> AsMifiutfil I'rr«*fv
Milwaukee, Wis.. -Sept. 11.—The Da
JviMte independent candidacy was
attack ed here in its recognised
stronghold tonight by Charles U.
Jjawcs. republican vice presidential
nominee, as "the quintessence of
dema.gogiMiii, animated by the vicious
purpose of undermining the constitu
tional foundation of this republic.”
Speaking in the Milwaukee audi
■torium, Mr. Dawes declared that "in
the mass of dap-trap accompanying
Hie Da Follette effort'we can see one
steady purpose always tn mind—the
attack on the constitution of the
VnitSd States"—and It was to this
attack that Mr. Dawes devoted most
of his attention.
The republican nominee described
Senator Da Follette as "the master
demagogue," warned against any
party attempting to take a position
in the half way feround between
' those who favor the constitution of
the United States and those who
would destroy its essential parts,”
declared this division to be the great
est Issue of the campaign, and ap
pealed to the voters of Wisconsin to
decide the issue "by a full vote of the
registered voters, not by the frac
tional vote which, for the last four
years, has been case in Wisconsin.
Attacks Ijibor Day Speech.
Mr. Dawes said he recognized that
there were in the country "many men
who are Justly discontented, but who
are patriotic at heart."
» "They may be opposed to certain
tilings in the existing order, but they
are not opposed to the existing order
of things," he added. "I warn them
that they should not be deceived by
the catch-all phrases of this master
demagogue, endeavoring to amalga
mate on the constitution of their
country."
The republican candidate combined
with his attack on the attitude of the
In Follette movement toward the
constitution an assault on the state
ments made by Senator Da Follette
in his Dnbor day address.
“In its strong appeal to the
prejudices and passions of the people,
the speecli was unusual, but i» no
other way," he asserted. "Never in
the history of the United States, has
i lie common sense of the average in
dividual received a greater affront.
Da Follette's speech should raise the
question in the minds of the Ameri
■ an people—"Does he consider us a
race of fool?"
Flays Attack on Courts.
Mr. Dawes in beginning ids dis
cussion of the Da Follette movement,
which he characterized as "the culmi
nation of the most dangerous era of
demagogisn? through which this
country has ever passed.", quoted the
declaration in the I .a Follette plat
form for a constitutional amend
ment providing that congress might
by enacting a statute make It effect
ive over a judicial veto.
•This proposition," he asserted, "is
to olirogate the principle of three fold
division of power—executive, leglsln
tive ant Judicial—which is the basis
nl our constitution, and make the cx
-'■> ecutive and Judicial power subordi
nate tn the b gist live power. it
means that for our present form of
government, we are to adopt another
in which congress will predominate.
The success of such a doctrine, which
would mean that the constitution
would he stripped of authority, and
government would become the play
thing of changing political parties,
with demagogue* in the saddle.’
The effect on the Individual, Mr.
Dawes told his audience, would be to
place his hill of Inalienable rights,
evolved through centuries of struggle
and conflict, "at the mercy of con
gicss" and subject these rights to the
threats of "mob action."
Courts Duurdlans of People.
The courts of the United States,'
he continued, "are the guardians ol
tin- inallepable rights of Individuals,
including the fredom of the presj,
tlx- rights of property and religious
tolerance. They Interpret laws pass
<d by congress tn their relation te
those rights upheld by the constltu

would this be If congresa had the

A *.$$'** of Fresh Air
Kditoriul Is .<■ speeches of Charles G. Panes come to a na
tion sick of the ,iaver of vote seeking politicians like a breath of
fresh air. In all he has said there lias been courage anil strong con
victions. ,
At the beginning of the campaign Mr. Dawes said to a friend at
Jiis home in Kvanston: “Whatever may come, 1 am going to he rnv
solf in this fight. X will tell the truth as 1 see it. If telling the truth
loses me the vice presidency', then it is better that I lose it. But, if
I know the temper of the American people they prefer the truth.'’
In his speech at Milwaukee Mr. Dawes told the truth as he sees
it. The Omaha Bee believes that it is the sort of truth an<| sort of
telling that the American peopWwill stand solidly behind.
--■---J
Here Is Dawes" Milwaukee Speech:
“The attack made by Robert M. La Follette upon the
constitution of the United States, behind which attack is
massed a heterogenous combination, the largest portion of
which are the socialists, opposing the existing order of things
and flying the red flag, is the culmination of the most dan
gerous era of demagogism through which this country has
ever passed.
“For a long time, political leaders and political plat
forms have been dodging fundamental issues which in con
science, the American citizen knows are now at stake.
“Faced with an abnormal condition in this country
which exists because of lax government, resulting in part
from widespread demagoguery in legislative bodies and
among those who are charged with the enforcement of law,
patriotic Americans have framed in their heart* and con
sciences the great issues upon which they propose to fight,
and fight, if need be, in defiance of the politicians. Political
parties are not primarily responsible for the great issue of
this campaign. The average American citizen has been
aroused, and he himself has determined the issues pnd the
politicians are following.
REACTION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
“A people, like an individual, may for a time tolerate
wrongful practices, but of nothing am I mor* certain than
that the American people have a conscience and a will to do
right. This very attack upon the constitution of the United
States, led by La Follette and the socialists, has caused a
great reaction in public sentiment in support of a more
rigid enforcement of law and order, and behind the consti
tutional foundations of our great representative government.
“A revolt is on against weakness and evasion in political
leaders, for it is recognized that in this weakness and eva
sion in regard to fundamental issues, lies the chief reason
for the supineness of public officials in the enforcement of
law when that enforcement operates against aggressive
minorities.
“In Mr. La Follette’* platform, he advocates ‘abolition
of tyranny and usurpation of the courts, including the prac
tice of nullifying legislation in conflict with the political,
social or economic theories of the judges.’
“In his platform, promulgated to the voters of Wiscon
sin, he says: ‘We favor submitting to the people, for their
considerate judgment, a constitutional amendment provid
ing that congress may by enacting a statute make it effec
tive over a judicial veto.’
WOULD MAKE CONGRESS SUPREME BOSS.
“His proposition is in effect that no inferior federal court
be allowed to set aside an act of congress on the ground
that it is unconstitutional, and that congress may set aside
the verdicts of the supreme court, itself, if it declares uncon
stitutional a law which congress may have passed. This
proposition is to abrogate the principle of threefold divi
sion of power—executive, legislative and judicial—which
is the basis of our constitution, and make the executive and
judicial power subordinate to the legislative power.
“It means that for our present jorm of government, we
are to adopt another in which congress will predominate.
“The success of such a doctrine, which would mean that
the constitution would be stripped of authority, would be
disastrous, and government would become the plaything of
changing political parties, with demagogues in the saddle.
“Its effects likewise would be disastrous to the rights of
the states, to which are reserved such rights of government

First Round
in Oil Fight
Has Failed to Produce Evi
dence Warranting Tem

Hastings Finds.
Formal Order Tomorrow
The strife legal department, headed
hy Attorney 'lenetal Spillman, has
failed to produce any evidence to
warrant issuance of a temporary re
straining order pf court against the
14 nil com patties doing business In
Nebraska, District Judge William G.
Hastings Bald Thursday afternoon.
"Unless the state can produce more
evidence, no temt>orary restraining
order will he granted,” said the court.
"No emergent^" has been shown."
The formal order denying the order
is to be entered Saturday morning.
Months of Investigation.
The state attorneys spent months
of Investigating. The hearing of the
rase has taken week* In the district
court. More than 50 affidavits were
filed, and Judge Hastings gave up
his vacation in order to go over
these carefully. Argument by the
state attorneys took nearly three
days, and defense attorney* argued
for more than a day.
Though gasoline la selling at one
of the lowest prices on record, Attor
ney General Spillman, Assietant At
torney General T. J. McGuire, John
P. Breen and Assistant Attorney Gen
eral B. McNeny declared an "irre

public unless the restraining order
were granted.
The state charged the companies
with conspiracy and confederation to

local dlecriminatlon.
Can Ask Permanent Order.
The defendant* all denied thl*. The
state's attorneys suggested that no
harm could com* of lseuing a re

panies from doing these thinge if
they were not doing them. To which
defence attorneys Inquired: "W'ould
you be satisfied to have an order
issued restraining you from heating
your wives If you weren't beating
them?"
Attorney General Spillman closed
the argument for the state.
The present decision denying the
temporary restraining order does not
prevent the state from going ahead
and trying the case for a permanent

Leopold. Jr., and Richard Loeb en?
tered the gates of the Illinois state
penitentiary tonight st 7:54.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Sept. 11.—Nathan Leopold,
Jr., and Richard Loeb were started
on their way to Joliet penitentiary
at 6:67 tonight.
Leopold and Loeb passed through
the lines of waiting newspaper men
smiling but silent. Neither 1 would
talk except to mumbl| a goodby. As
they entered the car, flashlights
boomed, and both boyy were visibly
startled.
The two youthful murderers of
Bobby Franks, both nattily dressed,
were bundled into one of three wait
ing automobiles and whisked away
on the 40-mile trip which will take
them to the prison. In the same
car were five armed deputy sheriffs.
Heading the procession was Sheriff
Peter M. Hoffman, with a half dozen
other deputies In another closed car
The deputies were armed with rifle
and ahotguns. The third automobile
contained newspaper men.
Both boys played cards with their
7uarda until a few minutes before it
waa time to leava. Tha commitment
papers, ordering them removed to the
penitentiary, had been received at
6:30. A moment later Leopold arose
and dressed. He donned a green, sum
mery eult, a brown felt hat. white
shirt and bow tie. Ix>eb put on *
grey, lightweight suit, the rest of
his attire being like that of his com
panlon.
‘juat before they were to leave the
boy* were handcuffed to two deputy
sheriffs In whose direct charge they
were to be until delivered to the war
den at Joliet. No one in the party
spoke as the pair was taken down
Into the Jail yard where the automo
biles were waiting. As they appeared
hundreds of persons gathered In win
,!ows and on roofs in the vicinity,
craned their necks to get a last
-.limps* of the murderers.
The 40-mlle Journey was expected
to be made in a little more than an
hour. The route which was to be
taken was not revealed to any one In
the party and the chauffeur of the
first csr moved on at the direction
of Sheriff Hoffman. Aa they drew
nut of the yard Loeb and I-eopold
drew farewell calls from scores of
the Inmates of the Jail whose cells
bordered on the yard.
The sheriff's party passed safely
through Berwyn, a auburb, although
reporte had been received from that]
town to the effect that several men
representing themselves to b* mem
tiers of the Ku Klux Klan had
planned to obstruct the roadway,
stopping the pnrtv, and In the result
ing confusion attempt to kidnap I-xmli
and Leopold.
