CHICAGO, Oct. 1. The porttio
al views of Hobert La Kollette.
Independent candidate for presi
dent, were sharply attacked at to
day's session of the American
Hankers Association general con
vention. Previous sessions had confined
themselves to condemnation of
the principal planks in the plat
form of the independent candi
dates, whose names are not men
tioned, but today he was specific
ally named as "the nations chief
liability.'' In an address prepared
for aelivery by John E. Edger
ton, president of the national
campaign affairs, Mr. Edgcrton
declared, the elements of distrust
and suspicion, prejudice and
hatred, discontent and vengeance
have multiplied and are being
brought together into a danger
ous power by an enterprising per
son from Wisconsin who is nev
er happy except when conspicious
as either a destructionist or ob
structionist." Except for the human element
of responsiveness of egotistic to
appeal of the deuinbabiie, ho de
clared "that arch demngogue, La
Kollette and all other domagogffc a
would be compelled to find some
useful employment for their, mis
applied talents."
"If there is anything against
which the citizenry of our coun
try should hurl its resistance,"
he continued, "it is the Impud
ently recurring attempts of Charl
atansln various disguises to weak
en the arm of our courts by cun
ningly devised statutes and
amendments to the constitution.
It has became a fad. or rather. a
disease, to amend our constitu
tion and by amending it to ren
der inoperative tho wisest pro
visions of its original architects."
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. -With
the time for his departure from
Washington for a month's stump
ing tour almost at hand, Senator
La Kollette devoted himself today
to the preparation of speeches he
will deliver In the interest of his

Amended Protocol Is Pre

for Its Approval.
ALL FOR PEACE
New Plan Would Kill Wars
and Lays Down Rule That
Disputes Be Settled
by Pacific Means,
(Associated Tress Leased Wire.)
GENEVA, Oct. 1. The amend
ed draft protocol on arbitration
and security was presented to ttho
assembly of the Leaguo of Na
tions for its approval today, ac
companied by a general report,
historical and analytic in nature
by M. Politls of Greece, and lr.
Renos of C7.echo-Slovakia official
reports of the two commissions
which Jointly framed the docu
ment. The special chapters are devot
ed to cond-nina'ton of aggressive
war, compulsory jurisdiction of
thesworld court of justice, the
strengthening of pneilic methods
of procedure, tho democratic Jur
isdiction of slates, sanctions and
reduction of nrmnmeiils, all four
forms of the protocol.
At the conclusion of the report
which fills twenty printed pages,
contains observations of a gener
al nature.
"Our purpose," says tho report
"was to make war impossible to
kill It, to annihilate It. Tho plan
drawn up leaves no loophole; It
prohibits wars of every descrip
tion and lays down tho rule that
all disputes shall be settled by
pacific means."
If tho smallest opening were
left Tor any measure of force, the
wholo system would collapse, it
adils, and to this end arbitration
is provided for every kind of dis
pute and aggression is defined In
such a way as to give no cause
for hesitation when t he council
of the leaguo has to tako a part.
The reports declare that the
reasons led the framers of the
protocol to fill In the gaps of the
leaguo covenant and deflnllo
sanctions in such a way that no
possible mcHiis, could be found for
evading them nnd that there
would be a sound, definite basis
for a feeling of security.
"The peace of the world is nt
stake," continues the report. "The
fifth assembly lias undertaken a
work of world-wide importance,
which, if It succeeds. 14 destined
profoundly to modify present po
litical conditions. If wo succeed,
the League of Nations will have
rendered Inestimable servleo to
the whole modern world."
The report ends by begging the
nssembly to examine the propos
als w-llh care and to recommend
them to Hie various governments
for acceptance.
The problem of tho ilemocralbt
Jurisdiction of slates raised by
the "Japanese delegation is treated
nt great length. Insistence is
made that the protocol in no wny
derogates the rule of article XV
of the covenant, which protects
1 national sovereignty, but that
"In order that no doubt may ex
ist. It appears advisable to say so
expressly."
I Neveri beless while the prinol
j pie of article XV of the covenant
Is maintained, M. Polllls and Dr.
Henes explain that it has been
found neeossary. In order to make
its application more flexible to
call In aid the rule of article XI
of the covenant which makes it
t the league's duty In event of wnr
i to tuke any action deemed wise
and effective to safeguard peace
and obligates the secretary gen
; oral to summon a meeting of tho
council nt tho request or any
le.'iellH member.
Thus, the reporters say. when
t has I n recognized that a ills-
1 pute arises out of a matter solely
wi'hin the domestic jurisdiction
of one of the parties, that party
it Its opponent will be fully en
titled to call upon tho council or
assembly to act.
The report then makes a point
deemed by the Jurists to be of
great Importance as follows:
"Article XI of the covenant
does not deal with situations
which nre covered by the rules of
1 law capable of application by a
Jud'-e; It applies only to cnso.
which are not yet regulated by In
tornatlorsal law. Consequently It
demon! rates the existence of
loophobs In the law. The refer
ene to attlcle XI would be an In
ducement to science to clear the
rreiirt'! for the worlr whh-h th
Loavoo of Nations will have to
undertake with a view of brlng-
- In if about through a development
of rules of the International law,
a closer reeonclllatlon between
the Individual Interests of Its
eienihers and Its universal Inter
is's which it Is designed to
, serve '
This Is deemed here as being
another way of saying that the
