DEMOCRATS POSH ISSUE OF HONESTY Spark, Furnished by Harry Daugherty, Stirs Party Leaders to Renewed Emphasis on Corruption in Government Circles, J, W, DAVIS ANSWERS MEANS REPUDIATION ► Says Employment of Man of Such ‘Evil Character' Was Ample Reason for Removal of Former Attorney General, By United Pres* NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—“ Honesty in Government.” which was made the paramount issue in the presidential campaign by John W. Davis, Democratic standard bearer, has at last been converted from a forced argument against the Republican Administration into a winning issue. Democratic leaders believed today. The spark needed has been furnished by former Attorney General Daugherty, in their opinion. Opportunity Seized Eager to dramatize the issue. Davis seized the opportunity offered by Daugherty, who demanded the Democratic candidate cease to refer to him in his campaign speeches, to emphasize instead of retract his statements regarding the former Attorney general’s administration of the Department of Justice. At the same time Democratic chieftains redoubled efforts to reopen the Senate investigation of the Department of Justice. But in attempting to force the issue they were careful that the actual calling of the specif committee should come from a Republican—Senator Brook hart of lowa, who has indicated he will assemble the committee and delve into the underlying circumstances surrounding the repudiation of his sensational testimony by Gaston B. Means, former Department of Justice agent and star witness before the committee.

Repudiation Dismissed Davis dismissed Means’ repudiation of his testimony and his subsequent recantation of the repudiation with the assertion ‘‘no man should he convicted on the uncorroborated testimony of a witness whose evil character was so generally well known as his.” But. he added, the very employment of Means by Daugherty was ‘‘ample warrant for the summary removal of the attorney general by whom he was appointed.” WHEELER PRAISES STAND Progressive Candidate fluids Davis and Scores Dawes. Bn Unit'd Prrxx MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Sept. 24. —John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate, was lauded by his independent opponent, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, today for “the courageous stand he has taken against the corrupt forces, including former Attorney General Daugherty. Wheeler called upon all Progressives to read the letter Davis sent to Daugherty, in which the Democrat stated that corrupt officials were the worst foes of honest government. “But I want to warn you that you are in danger of setting another Daugherty if an ill-fate should give you this man Dawes. The men, in their possibilities at least, are too much alike," Wheeler said. “Their sympathies are alike and their careers are not essentially different-" Before his first exclusively farm audience. Wheeler charged in Davenport Tuesday night that President Coolidge “favors special legislation for Mr. Mellon's aluminum trust for which Mr. Butler, now chairman of the Republican national committee, has been the active lobbyist and agent for a great many years.” AUTO WRECKS TRAIN One Killed, Four Injured When Mar chine Stalls on Tracks.

Realize Situation According to the penitentiary guards, both Leopold and Loeb are beginning to realize their situation. Despair is just beginning to be apparent.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Administration circles today hummed with discussion of the alleged “betrayal” of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur by Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, who read to a local Davis-Bryan club a speech he said Wilbur was to have made at Denver last Saturday night. Portraying Wilbur through the speech as having been an advocate of the League of Nations, as apologizing for the Re-: publican foreign administration and with having said the negro question is sole issue between the two old parties, Caraway charged President Coolidge had recalled Wilbur from the coast to prevent delivery of the address.

Wilbur today refused to discuss the incident in any way. “I will not discuss it. I will not be drawn into any controversy about it. If you want to speculate on the ethics of the act you may, but I will not,” Wilbur said. Believer in League Among important pasages quoted by Caraway from WiJbur's alleged speech were: “I was and am a believer in the League. 1 believed that if we went into the League immediately upon cessation of hostilities, we might save Europe from bankruptcy. I therefore sympathized with Woodrow Wilson and his campaign for the League and I would rather now praise him than blame him for his attitude. “I may say in passing that I am not now in favor of America entering the League of Nations. We have already suffered all the disadvantages which would have arisen from keeping out of the League. I lemocrati c Backbone “Th efact that there is only one issue *n American politics—and that is the negro. The fiegro problem is what gives the Democratic party its backbone in the Sold South, and it gives It some hope of success.” Caraway today quoted Wilbur as further saying that President Coolidge, “like all lawyers,” believed the investigations of corruption and graft before the Senate last winter should have been conducted befoie grand juries. “This, in effect, is an admission that the President opposed the investigations,” said Caraway.
