LAFOLLETTE HIT BY DAWES IN SPEECH DecUree Progressive Movement Chief Opponent of the Republican Party. Evanston, 111., Aug. 19.—Three is sues, “the fundamental principles of our Constitution,” the League of Na tions, and the World Court were the principal subjects in the address of acceptance by Gen. Charles G. Dawes, of the Republican Vice-presidential nomination. In discussing the Constitution, Gen. Dawes attacked the La Follette move ment, socialism and what he called “radicalism” in the La Follette move ment and in one section of the Demo cratic party. He termed the La Fol lette movement the chief opponent of the Republican party. / He prefaced the address with fig ures on economy in public expense effected by the Republican administra tion. “This,” said Mr. Dawes, “is a cam paign of brass-tacks—not bombast. “This administration reduced the cost of governmental operation and it was not by accident.” By this saving, he said, “approxi mately six million dollars per day less, for national purposes, will be collected in 1925 from taxpayers, than for the fiscal year of 1921.” In the last pre-budget year after debt payments federal expenditures were 59 per cent and those of cities, states and towns 41 per cent, while in 1923, he said, the federal govern ment took 28 per cent of the taxes compared with 72 per cent by the other three. “The federal government,” he said, “is headed in the right direction, and most of the states, cities and towns in the wrong direction.” Mr. Dawes said President Coolidge was “uninfluenced by motives of political expendiency.” The Republican party, he said, MISS GRIFFIN stands firmly on^the Constitution. ENTERTAINS ^ “Opposed to it,” he said, “though On Monday evening Miss Collette thg result may be to deadlock the Griffin was quite a charming hostess presidency and make Bryanism suc- when she entertained a number of ceed the Coolidge policy, is a move- friends with a musical evening.

Ate:' ETIQJ «r hurt a fain my tel f addrwd «M Dear Miss Flo: When giving a pri vate dance, should programs be fur nished? (2) At the end of a meal, where should the knife and fork be julaced? . Thank you. A. G^ Dance programs are seldom used now except at large college dances or Army and Navy dances. However, if it is a special occasion, and the hostess wishes, she may furnish them. They also serve as appropri ate mementoes of the occasion. <2) The knife and fork should be placed near the center of the plate—side by side—with the handles placed a lit tle toward the right side of the plate. Dear Miss Flo: Upon being pre sented to a lady, should a gentleman extend his hand or wait for the lady to do so? (2) If not, should she ac cept his hand if he offers it? K. A. The lady is given the privilege offering her hand first in acknow ledging an introduction. However, to disregard anybody’s outstretched hand is very bad taste. Dear Miss Flo: Should a young lady wear mourning for her fiance, (2) Should the wedding presents be returned? (3) When an engagement is broken, should the engagement ring be returned. Thank you. G. D. A young lady does not wear mourn ing for her fiance as a general thing. However, if he died on the eve of the wedding it is permissable. If the date of the wedding had not been announced, it is not good form to wear mourning. (2) The wedding presents should be returned with an explanation and thanks. (3) The en gagement ring should always be re turned.

She is a grad uate of the Presbyterian College and has taught for the past several years in Pendleton and Spartanburg. The ceremony was performed in Laurens at the Methodist parsonage by the Rev. Mr. Kilgore, $nd only immediate relatives were present. The bride was becomingly attired in a black satin mohair with gray acces sories. Mr. Aull is a graduate of Clemson College and holds a responsible posi tion with the Pendleton Oil Mill.

C. fer the fate which befalls those who try to straddle in a real fight.” “We are face to face with an ab normal condition in this country. The American citizen has seen men advo cating in the same state at the same time, irrespective of their inconsist encies, increased wages for railroad labor and decreased railroad rates, and higher prices for beef on the hoof and lower prices for beef on the table. From the average candi date, in either party, he must accept either evasion or a doctrine designed to please him, whether Or not it tends to plunge the whole country into disaster. * “Robert M. >La Follette, leading the army of extreme radicalism, has a platform demanding public owenr- ship of railroads and attacking our courts. “Our nation is asked to follow an attack upon them (our constitutional principles) massed behind an aggres sive personality, a heterogenous col lection of those opposing the exist ing order of things, the greatest sec tion of which, the Socialists, flies the Dear Miss Flo: When arranging a dinner table, on what side of the plate should the napkiri be placed?

Into re opening of war upon those funda mental principles of human liberty and inalienable rights of men which are giving in this country safe op portunity to the humblest.” Mr. Dawes said the League of Na tions was not approved by the people | of the United States because it did not make clear to their minds that it did not encroach on the sovereignty of the United States. “Perhaps,” he said, “if those who drew the League plan had felt it in cumbent to make its exact meaning as clear to the average man as to those who drew it, the United States might have been spared immersion for five years in the immense fog bank of debate on the league.” The Democsatic platform declara tion on the league he characterized as “an invitation to again enter that fog of debate in a public referen dum.” He thought that the people of the United States have settled on “two great fundamental prinicples,” first, that the country’s sovereignty and independence must always be pre served and second, that the country should meet its international duties unflinchingly. Taking these princi ples, he said, the Harding-Coolidge administration inaugurated a con structive policy, with important steps instanced in the four-pact naval treaty and the eypert committee on reparations. “With the experts’ plan inaugurat ed,” he said, “all Europe turns to ward the depths of an inevitable and great depression in industry and agri culture which the continued chaos and misery in Europe would entail. In deed, the whole world enters upon a period of peace and prosperity.” “In the propositions of President Coolidge in connection with the World Court, there is safeguarded the sovereignty of the United States and its interests.” Likening the World Court-, ta s court house, Mr. Dawes said: ’ “Because we help build the court house, we do not have to try cases in it, unless we desire to. But we must remember that sometimes when a house is built,- it may be a very in convenient thing to go into to avoid rain and lightning. Yes, and prob ably avoid the thunder-bolts of war.” Asserting that American citizen ship will trust its representatives to uphold as ably and fearlessly the honor of the country and the flag in any conflict of peace as it trusts “its youth-^behind the flag in war,” Mr. Dawes said. “The Republican platform on for eign relations outlines a policy which carried out with the common sense, clear vision and courage of Calvin Coolidge, offers the American people a constructive course of honor, safe ty and progress. It offers the only policy which at this time means the possibility of accomplishment.” Mr. Dawes said that in his speech at Lincoln, Neb., August 29, he would discuss “the non-partian and econo mic agricoltrual questions.” 4 ■ Nothing Can Fade Everfast Wash Fabrics # - School Clothes Modern ideag of health and comfort for the children decree wash clothes the whole year through.
