Eastern Manager for
Davis Is Catholic and
Ardent Enemy of In-
tolerance
NE‘V YORK. Aug. 4.~—ln the
opinion of Denier-rats qualified to
speak on the subject, one of the
pone-d in connection with the cam-
paign of John \V. Davis for Presl-
(lcnt is the appointment of Thomas
Spellacy, of Hartford. as his
Eastern campaign _manngcr. hlr.
Spellacy is o. lloman‘tatholic and a
5*
hater of the Ku Klux Klan. His
selection is reported to have been
recommended to the Davis man-
agers by Gov. Smith.
And in the judgment of these who
know what is going on about the
Davis headquarters. the. candidate
in this selection has served notice
that the question of religious frec-
Ilom in the United Stair-s is not to
be a dead issue in the campaign.
Transcends More Klan Question.
It is no longer spoken of as the
Ku Klux Klan issue, for it is recog—
nized that it is something bigger
than the organization itself. The
decision of the. Democratic National
Convention not to dignity the Klan
by mentioning it by name. will per-
haps be accepted by the candidate
himself: but not necessarily by those
who. under the direction . of Mr.
Spellacy. go through the Eastern
States stating the issues of the cam-
paign. '
It can be said that haters of the
Klan who have recently been in
touch with the Democratic candl-
date have come away convinced that
his position after he opens his cam-
paign will be such as to take the
wind completely out of the sails of
the Irish groups which have recent-
ly launched attacks on Davis as the
Klan nominee.
The latest of such attacks was
made yesterday when former Jus-
tice Daniel F. Cohalan. before sail-
ing for Europe. issued a statement
that “by his silence he (Davis) has
indorscd the K. K. K. and its meth-
ods."
Far From Favor-lug Klan.
A very different position from
this is taken at the Davis head-
quarters. 'l‘hcrc a study of the vote
on the Klan plank has disclosed
that. eliminating the votes of the
delegates from tho. territories. an
actual majority of the convention
was in favor of mentioning the
Klan by name.
And when it is recalled that Sen-
ator James A. “’atson. who is tied
up with the Klan in Indiana. is cred-
ited with having drafted the Repub-
lican plank. some of those closely
connected with the management see
no reason why the Democratic Party
should forsake the attitude that has
been traditional with it since the
days of Know Notliingism.
Tcnput Dome to Blibblc.
No prediction on the principal is-
sues can be made at this time. but
careful plans are being laid to up~

M. Butler to keep out Teapot Dome.
Every speaker, from Mr. Davis
down, can be. counted on to point
ward the lake to recount their ad-
venturcs. And as you are interest-
ed in the doing of Billy, Stubby and

to relate to you what happened to
each of them.

STAMFORD. Aug. 4.—
Sam Silherman is convinced
that Stamford people are not ex-
ceptionally observant or perhaps
they hold their heads too high in
the air. Mr. Silberman. who is the
lion of F. Silberman. Main street
furniture dealer. does not lament
these facts. The opposite is the
case. Mr. Slibcrman is rather
happy.
It all happened this way. The
other night Mr. Silbcrman who
was recently married to a. Texas
girl and returned from his honey-
moon n. week or so ago. gave his
wife a. twenty dollar bill to do
some shopping. Then they- went
to the Strand Theatre. Before
going into the theatre they stood
outside for a few minutes. After
they left, the theatre they went
to several shops. In one of the
shops Mrs. Sllbermnn looked .in
her bag for the twenty-dollar bill.
, It wes gone. The newlywelis rc-
visitcd the shops and finally
walked back to the Strand Tho-
atrc.
There it was. Right on the spot
they had been. standing was the

there for nearly two hours. It is

And while the White family was

scarcely contain itself, the wEek
was less eventful for the Rev. George
A. Barker, pastor of the First Con-

was his duty first to console' the
members of the White family last
Sunday afternoon after Edwin T.

year old brother, Benjamin White.
Next he was called on to officiate

ture Quotations in

mers Millions
CHICAGO. Aug. L—The price of
corn. {or both spot cash and future
delivery. hit a new high level Satur-
day. bringing the price'of this com-
munity to the highest point since the
\an‘.
Future deliveries at the close Sat-
urday were listed as follows: Sop-i
ternber. 1.14 3-4; December. 1.04;
May. 1.041-2: cash corn was quoted
as follows: No. 2 mixed. 1.15 to

This new boost again adds many
millions of dollars to the prices farm
crs will receive for their crops of this
year. as the above quotations give
the farmer considerable above 81 a
bushel ior his corn delivered at the
country elevator. .
Corn does not enter into the
world's trade in so far as this coun-
try is concerned, so the reasons as-
signed to the boost in wheat prices
do not apply to the great midwcst
crop. The bulge in corn has been
due almost entirely to economic
adjustment between grain prices and
those of manufactured products.
plus the poor outlook for the new
crop.
Conditions vary throughout the
country. of course, but based on
countrywide estimates the farmer
will receive from )0 to 25 per cent
more for his own if he sells it this
year than he did when he sold it
ast your. The farmers will be
paid materially more more money
for this year's relatively short crop
than they received {rm much larger
yields in 1923.
One of the coincidences of the ad-
vance in grain prices is the fact that
the bulges started on the day that
Congress adjourned. For this reason
it is pointed out that politicians can
be given very little credit for the
boon to the farmers.
On the other hand, the advance in
grain prices is expected to play an
important part in the coming presi-
dential elections. The midwest corn
growing belt was considered is won-

Republicans and the Democrats in

gruntled land would evidence this by
voting against thej «311 pagy gang:
' Now the wise ones are shaking
ihelrhcnds and hinting that the old
parties either the Democrats or the
Republicans. are pretty good parties
after all and that maybe the radicals
won’t make such inroads on the corn
belt vote as had been expected.
