Campaign Notes

P:Frank R. Kent, able Democrnk, wrote for the Baltimore Sun: "Beyond compare, this flaming old man [Senator LaFollette] and his two attractive sons present the one dramatic, colorful spectacle of the campaign; and the fight they make surpasses in ardor anything of which the others are capable."

P:Chauncey M. Depew, onetime ubiquitous, silver-tongued herald of the Republican Party, said (of Coolidge) : "His own platform and his own campaign" ; (of Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt) : "The same sound timber in the son as in the honored sire."

P:Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson, spoke at Cincinnati two weeks after his fellow lawyer, Secretary of State Hughes, whom he called "the clever lawyer who falls back on methodical ignorance--to shield his client, President Coolidge." Mr. Colby then proceeded into the stormy state of Indiana to awaken echos that had just been stirred by his other fellow lawyer, John W. Davis.

P:Charles Nagel of St. Louis, U. S. Secretary of Commerce and Labor under President Taft, "a leader of the German-American voters of Missouri," said of LaFollette: "War hath no fury like the non-combatant"; of Davis: "No practical prospect for victory"; of Coolidge: "I shall vote for Coolidge."

P:Clarence Darrow, famed criminals' (Leopold-Loeb) advocate of Chicago, announced his intention of ascending Middle-Western stumps in behalf of Candidate LaFollette.
