ISSUE NOT WHAT AMERICA WILL DO FOR EUROPE J. H. Lewis Says Republicans Want to Give Financial Favorites Privileges. ‘SYNDICATE* IN CONTROL FRANKFORT, Ind., Sept. 2.—“ The great Issue of this time," said James Hamilton Lewis of Chicago, speaking at the opening of the democratic campaign here last night, ‘‘is not what America will do for Europe, but what the citizens of the United States are going to do to America. “Unless the United States can. be kept prosperous and her citizens engaged in peaceful occupations, to their profit and content at home, no policies of the United States for Europe will be of any avail, either to Europe or to ourselves." The former United States senator declared the republicans wanted to get into power and then pass legislation that will entrench “eastern financial favorites in the government and place in their hands all the privileges and favors that the republic provides for its national citizenship.” The speaker said that the “senate syndicate," which named Harding and Coolldge brought the principles of the platform from the east, and after it was adopted in confusing terms, told the candidates in substance as to what they must say in their acceptance addresses. WHAT RETL'RN TO OLD TIMES MEANS. Mr. Lewis declared that the “return to old times, which both Harding ond Coolidge want, is the return to the old conditions that made multi-millionaires. “It also means,” he continued, “a repeal of the farm loan credit act, the federal bank act. so us to put the farmers of the west and the business of the Mississippi valley states In pawn again to manipulating masters. “The old times to which these eminent candidates have asked to *be returned were those which, under McKinley, the conspirators turned the government over to those who directed fortune to favorites. as the land was piliagsd. the soldiers of the Spanish-Americaa wai murdered in order to serve the public contract thieves w)!o sold flour for nuin.ne, paper shoes to soldiers, rotten and diseased eioth for uniforms, rai then pawned the nation to themselves, from which to this hour they are reaping the interests and enjoying polluted we.-.ith.” SENATORIAL LEADERS’ CONFERENCE CITED. The speaker declared that at a conference of the senatorial leaders in Chicago they boldly proclaimed tbelr Intention of overthrowing everything for which the nation stands, and they propose secret y to reverse every doctrine of the past op which the country has prospered—all to put into power the doctrines of the special privilege to the favored few. Mr. Lewis discussed the tariff subje*t which Senator Harding has brought before the voters through the “lemon" incident. and said that it was a part of the return of the “old time" plan propped by the republican.-:. In discussing the leagne of nations, Mr. Lewis said that it had not been so long ago since these republican senators had been boasting of being the authors of the theory of the league of nations and accusing President Wilson of stealthily appropriating their invention, but now they were “denouncing their own creations to awaken prejudice from these who do no>t understand and Awaken vengeance front those who have' oeen misinformed." Mr. Lewis pointed out that the socalled “Root Plan" for a league, which the republicans have worked into their 'platform carries with it every evil douoied and redoubled that is ever charged against the league proposed by the democrats. FAROINt.’S LEAGUE POSITION DENOUNCED. The speaker denounced Harding's position on the league and said that it was so adroitly prepared for him aud so artfully propounded by him that when he had concluded his speech of acceptance he was congratulated by cable from Europe by forme- Secretary Root upon his great support of the great republican plan of league: congratulated by President Taft for his stand in behlf of a league with American reservations, but which carries the spirit of the league of nations as proposed now l>y the senate. “At the same time." the speak?.- said, “he is praised bv Senato- Borah of Tdabe and Senator Johnson of California and Senator Lafailette of Wisconsin for his ‘uncompromising opposition to anv form of league" and for -his courage in denouncing a scheme that would leave out this nation in any associations with Europe.’ ” The speaker said that Hardings position on the league was for the purpose of catching votes, both from league opponents and from those favoring it; "that the senate cabal may through fraud and deception again come into ownership of the republic." Mrs. Alice Foster" McOoUougb. chairman of the state democratic women's committee spoke from the same platform.

Special to The Times. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 2.—Coal miners here declare that coal operators ore guilty of profiteering when they increase the price of coal to cover the cost of the increasfe granted to the day men. Many of the loeal coal dealers have increased the price of coal from 21 to 24 cents a bushel, on the ground that the increase was caused by the raise in wages granted the day men. In the contention that, the raise in the price of coal was not Justified, the miners reason as follows: For Instance, a certain coal mine in the F.vansville territory employs fifty-five day men. The Increase in wages granted these men was $1.50 a day, which means $82.50 expended for the work of the miners in one day. The normal output of this mine is 700 to 800 tons a day. The price of coal has Ween increased 3 cents a bushel, or $1.50 a ton, and 700 tons at an Increase of $1.50 amounts to $1,050 to offset an increase of $82.50 paid to the day men, leaving a balance of $967.50.
