WHEELER’S TRIAL MAY BE CLIMAX OF FALLBATTLE Vice Presidential Candidate to Take Rest Before Barnstorming Trip< By United Press WASHINGTON. July 24—In the lever heat of the colorful, threecornered battle for the presidency, fraught with unprecedented possibilities, the dramatic touch may await the trial of Senator Wheeler of Montana, vice presidential candidate on the independent ticket, now set for October—the crucial period of the campaign. Wheeler's trial, at such a time, it was pointed out today, is without parallel in American political history. It was recalled, however, that Eugene V. Debs made the race for president on the Socialist ticket in 1920 trom Atlanta Federal Penitenuary. Unconcerned Quite unconcerned about the indictment on charges of misusing his office to promote the interests of a egal client which has been hanging jver his head since spring, Wheeler n a holiday mood, left today with his family to motor to Massachusttta. In the little fishing village of Wellfleet. on Cape Cod, he will rest for three weeks before starting on the strenuous barnstorming trip planned for him by the independent managers. Wheeler said he had ceased to give the indictment any thought, after repeated efforts to have his trial expedited by the Department of Justice. He was indicted in the midst of his investigation of the acts of former Attorney General Dauherty and branded it as a “frame up” at the time. Senate Investigated Only five Senators voted against a resolution “completely exonerating” Wheeler, After investigation of charges by a Senate committee made it Wheeler's request. “Because of the ecircumstances surrounding the indictment, I regard it as an asset in my campaign with Senator La Follette, and not as a handicap," said Wheeler. “I am willing to go to trial tomorrow- if the Department of Justice is willing, but if they want to conduct the campaign in the courts, I am willing to do that.” / HOSPITAL IS PRAISED Pity Officials Visit Riley Children's Institution. City officials joined in praising the Riley Children's Hospital as the finest in the world after an inspection trip late Wednesday with members of the Riley Memorial Association.
