Dawes, Republican candidate for vice-president, opened his speaking campaign today in Augusta with* a declaration of opposition to the Ku Klux Klan and a denunciation of at tempts by labor leaders to influence “patriotic, law abiding union men into a political combination with Social ists.” Mr. Dawes had announced he would shoot straight from the shoulder, poli ticians or no politicians, and the audi ence which gathered at a Republican state rally at Island Park near here was prepared for some hot shots. It was taken aback somewhat, however, when the vice-presidential nominee mentioned the klan by name in his first sent^nee, discussed that question at some length and then turned his fire on “politicians cringing before the whip of a few bluffing labor lead ers.” “Appeals to racial, religious or class prejudice by minority organizations are opposed to the welfare of all peaceful and civilized communities,” he shouted with waving arms after telling of the rise of the klan in Okla homa and in Williamson county, Ill inois. “Our constitution stands for religious tolerance,” he continued. “To inject religious and racial issues into politics is contrary to the welfare of all the people and to the letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States.” •. The audience stood astonished for a moment, for Maine is counted by klan leaders as one of the states where the organization is strongest; then there was scattering applause, but many of those present merely looked one at another, plainly wonder ing as to the effect of the statement just made on next month’s barometric state election. There was somewlMit general applause though, when Mr. Dawes concluded the klan portion of his address by saying: “I have told you why I am opposed to the klan. Take what I say into your hearts and conscience and think it over calmly. However, it may be with the mind, there is no acrimony in conscience.** With the klan discussion ended, Mr Dawes launched into the address he had prepared before leaving Evanston for Maine and the applause became more general but there were numer ous looks of astonishment as he en tered upon his discussion jn trade unionism. “The benefits of trade unions hon estly administered are recognized not only by me, but good citizens gener ally. whether in or out of trade union ism,” he asserted. “It has elevated, protected and dignified labor at large and in so doing it has been an ele ment of progress in our nation.” “But why do so many politicians of both parties continue to regard the great, intelligent, honest and conser vative body of trades unionism as if it were a puppet in the hands of a few Socialist labor leaders and politi cal demagogues,” he inquired, and then regarding his own question de nied that “a few bluffing labor lead ers” could undertake “to play poli tics in the name of patriotic imm whose convictions on law enforcement and the constitution they do not con trol, and who resent the idea that anyone should believe that they would let their honest opinions on elemental things be used as a political asset.” The vice presidential nominee then 1 turned to another question on which his attitude often has been discussed by political leaders since his nomina tion—that of the open shop. “What pretext except personal po- 1 litical advantage have aifr labor lead ers in attempting to bring tne ques tion of the open shop into politics?’ he asked. “TTie supreme court of the United States has held that the right of employees in a body to bargain with their employers for the closed shop is one of the inalienable rights of the indivilual under our constitu tion. “If a political party should place an open shop plank in their platform with a view to its crystalization into law, it should be striking at the con stitution just as much as the lawless labor leader who, in the interest of the closed shop, would offer an Amer ican citizen assaulted as he went peacefully to his work. Questions like that of the open shop will always be an issue among good citizens, but these differences are not political, they are economic and must be ad justed between employer and em ployee—not by political parties. Mr. Dawes also defended the ap pointment of the Americans to set unofficially in siding Europe to settle the reparations problem, attached the Democratic platform and nominee for the proposal to lead “the nation back into the jfog bank of debate on the league,” and outlined the results of the economy program of the Repub lican national administration and of the present tariff act. On all of these three subjects his utterances were made in reply to the acceptance ad dress of John W. Davis, the Democra tic presidential nominee. Casting aside his prepared address, Mr. Dawes concluded with an attack on the La Follette movement and an appeal to the people of Maine to remember that the “perdominant issue is the contest between progressive conservatism un der the leadership of President Cool- idge” and the “untried and dangerous radicalism” of the La Follette candi dacy.” B.

JUNIOR TOPIO-r-Jesus and a Woman of Samaria. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How Jesus Won the Samaritans. TOUNQ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Teaching of Jeans Concerning Himself. I. The Occasion (w. 4-6). The growing popularity of Jesus 1 aroused the envious opposition of the Pharisees, which obliged Him to leave Jndea and go into Galilee. There ! was another way to reach Galilee, r one used by many Jews to avoid con- ! tact with—the despised Samaritans,' the erstem side of the Jordan. He must needs go through Samaria in or- ; der to hod this poor sinful woman and - the needy citizens of Sychar. The great necessity which was upon Him was to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). The wearied Jesus waiting at Jacob's well to speak to this poor. lost woman gives us a picture of the divine human Savior in His work of seeking lost humanity. II. The Teetimony of Christ to the Samaritans (vv. 7-41). 1. Discloses His Identity to the Wom an of Samaria (vv. 7-20). This is a fine example of personal evangelism. (1) A Favor Asked (vv. 7-9). He tactfully made a request which ap pealed to the woman's sympathy. Not only did the thirst of the weary trav eler appeal to her but the fact that He being a Jew asked a favor of her showed His sympathy for her. In In troducing the conversation He re ferred to that which was uppermost in her mind, namely water. This was the Teacher’s point of contact. He soon passed from earthly water to the water of everlasting life which was in Himself. His aim was to bridge the chasm which separated them. (2) Jesus' Tender Dealing With the Woman (w. 10-15). He first ap pealed to her curiosity by declaring, “If thou knewest the gift of God” (v. 10). He knew the deep unrest of the soul of that sinful woman as she went on her way. He knew that if she really knew Him she would be lieve on Him and be saved from her sins. Therefore, the first thing wss to get her attention. He followed thts r.ppeal to her curiosity by a promise wMeh directed her attention to her deepest need. Thd deepest need of the soul Jesus only can satisfy. There is real sad lasting satisfaction In Him and His gifts. The wotnan's re ply, “Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not," Is the inarticulate cry of every heart.

WheB they heard the testimony of the wom an, they Invited Jesus to come nmonrf| them. Though they^ beard her testi mony, their belief Iras due to Chrlat*a own words. III. The Testimony of the Samar itans (vv. 27-42). 1. The Woman of Samaria Wit nesses for Christ (w. 27-89). As soon aa she was converted she be came an enthnsiastlc missionary. This is as it ought to be and always will be. The soul that realizes Jesns cannot be stlM (John 1:41-4S). The result of her testimony was that many believed on Him. 2. The Samaritans Witness for Christ (v. 42). They declared, “We know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the World.” Summer is about gone—glorious fall with its swift invigoration and the snap of cool, delightful days will flash a signal for speed. - As Nature slows down, it’s up to us to shift into high, to keep things in balance.
