PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN^

NEW YORK, October 1

The various candidates in the presidential campaign have now come to close grips. With the nearing of election day, 4th November, everybody concerned,, from the candidates to aspirants for various state governorships and prominent partisans generally, have begun to launch attacks at each other. 'The yituperative stage is not yet reached, the' so-called mud, slinging, .malicious rumours, and bitter innuendoes being usually reserved for the last week of the campaign. , Senator Bro'okhart, ostensibly a Republican, has called upon Mr Dawes to resign, declaring that he is unfit for a vice-presidgntial candidate ns being a reactionary., , ... Mr Davis lias begun a polite but cutting offensive against Mr Mellon, who is a prominent banker, declaring that the latter favours big business and a .tariff that robs the people. Mr La Follette is demanding public ownership of utilities and national resources. He is answered by Mr Hoover, who insists that the Government cannot go into business. President, Coolidge, answering Air La Follettc’s 'pleas for curbing the power of courts to declare acts of congress uncontitutional, has broadcasted his pleas over radio, asking the people to *'safeguard our institutions.” • Aleanwhile authorities and courts in Louissaina and California have forbidden the placing of Mr La Folletfe’s party upon the ballots owing to various election law technicalities. This has raised a storm of protest, even President Coolidge public]y expressing dissatisfaction that tliis has been done.

Air La. Follettc’s strength is notably increasing each day, and the candidates’ various offices arc undertaking terrific speaking campaigns, Air Theodore Roosevelt, a candidate for the New York governorship, will make 180 speeches in eighteen days. Messrs Davis, Dawes, and Wheeler flit over the country iji special ’railroad cars. They are speaking ,to-day in Kan Francisco, to-morrow in Omaha, nml the next day in ’Chicago, strenuously endeavouring to ur.cnd political fences. Women have injected the unpalatable issue that “wo arc being ignored” and they declare that only ten women are standing for Congress, and in doubtful districts where their election is unlikely. ,

The circus flavour arid band waggon tactics of American politics also are not lacking. President Coolidge was personally welcomed to Washington by the successful baseball team which won the honours during 'the summer season, his remarks being made known throughout the nation.

Colonel Harvey, former Ambassador to Britain, has been commissioned to write an article for a prominent Republican newspaper in Washington describing this team’s games with another prominent team and. to sum up the speed, earnestness and naivety characteristic of the campaign.
