MO BOOSTERS RALLYTOSUPPORT IN CHICAGO PARLEY Pre-Convention Conference Sets Precedence in American Political History, Bv United Frees CHICAGO, Fbe. 16. —Spurred on by a fervor likened to a holy crusade, supporters of AVilliam O. AlcAdoo for President are gathering for a reaffirmation of faith. Primarily, McAdoo’s followers were asked to attend the conference Monday to determine whether he still is available as a candidate in spite of his connection with the Teapot Dome investigation. The conference was called at the suggestion of McAdoo. Telegrams of acceptance, accompanied by messages of encouragement, are pouring in from all parts of the country. They indicate the conference will: 1. Give AlcAdoo a clean bill of health. 2. Give him a vote of complete confidence. * 3. Announce his availability is Unimpaired. 4. Strive to show his name was dragged in the scandal by the Republicans in an effort to remove what the delegates claim is the strongest Democratic contender. AlcAdoo has made a sudden switch in plans and will not come to Chicago until Alonday afternoon after the conference has adopted its report. AlcAdoo wants the conference to be a Tree, frank and open discussion of his merits and availability and does not want to embarrass tho delegates by taking part or being in the vicinity of the deliberations. Politicians hold the conference is without parallel in American political history. It is the first time on record a candidate has called what amounts to a pre-convention convention of his followers and placed his fate unreservedly in their hands. Republicans and non-McAdoo Democrats scoff at the whole affair as being a piece of theatrlealism. Judge Rockwell. AlcAdoo’s campaign manager, holds McAdoo Is In earnest and will step out of thfe race if his \ followers say so. Alore than 300 delegates are expected. Thirty States already have been heard from.

tempered man,” said the Rev. Allan B. Philputt, pastor of the Central Christian Church. “A boy should scrap, however, when other fellows try to trample his rights. That develops reliance and aggressiveness. The boy should fight when necessary —not otherwise.” Arbitration was advocated by Edward S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League. “I believe that boys’ difficulties ’ should be taken to a person older than themselves Let each of them state his case, and abide by the decision. Fighting does not settle a question fairly, because the boy with the right principle is not always the strongest.” “Great American Way” But—“ Fists are the great American way of settling differences,” said Adjutant General Harry B. Smith. “Boys carry a grudge about with them which may result in underhand methods, unless they fight it out. However, I don’t believe in promiscuous scrapping. Fighting develops se)f-re-liance, and also promotes health.” “I would advocate a Christian forbearance at all times among boys,” said the Rev. Francis H. Gavisk, rector of St. John's Catholic Church. "But when provocation is great enough, and when rights are being trampled on, I would recommend that boys take their own part. There is no reason for boys being cowardly. Cowardly boys make cowardly men.” Mrs. Charles H. Smith, 1026 S. Randolph St., president of the ParentTeacher Association, advocates fighting only when absolutely necessary. “Pugnacious boys develop into pugnacious men,” she said. “But I do think boys ought to be taught to take care of themselves.” light for Principle “Boys ought not fight except when absolutely necessary. Frequently they have to fight for a principle. Then it is justified. They shouldn’t be allowed to go around with a chip on their shoulder.” That is the ordnlon of Mrs. W. W. Reedy, 1332 Pellefontaine St., president of the W. C. T. U. “Fighting never did settle a difficulty. The settlement always comes after the fight,” said E. U.

Glenn Young, deposed “prohibition <?zar” of the Illinois bad lands, predicted. “I’m going back there next week and as sure as there’s a God in heaven, some one’s going to pay for the murder of Caesar Cagle,” Young declared. The slaying of Cagle, constable of Herrin and chief assistant to Young in his spectacular booze raids, precipitated conditions of near riot in Williamson County a week ago, which made it necessary for 1,800 Slat© militiamen to take charge of the situation. Most of the troops are now withdrawal and the remainder are expected to be recalled shortly. “Get this straight,” Young said, "I'm not a member of the Klan. I’m just a resident of Williamson County whom the forces of law and order have chosen to lead in the fight against lawlessness. “Seventy-five per cent of the people in Williamson County are folk. The others are booze runners, gamblers and scum. The same fellow, who killed Cagle was the rfng-leade® of the Herxin massacre. They haven® got any better since the riots. They’r| tougher.”
