WAVE OF POPULARITY
! REASON FOR TACTICS
Belief Held That Labor Par
ty Is Rapidly Growing in
Public Favor
LONDON. Oct. 9 (By the AP.)
Events following upon the gov
ernment's defeat last night moved
today with ' unusual expedition.
The prime minister early today ob
tained royal consent to the dis
solution of parliament which was
prorogued with the usual formali
ties; tonight and immediately dis
solved by the king's proclamation,
the ! privy council for these for
malities meeting at the unusual
hour of 7 o'clock in the evening.
The king, as always, omitted no
courtesy in meeting the labor
premier's wishes despite the fact
that the i unaccustomed haste to
get i through the formalities pro
vided for by the constitution is
somewhat of a novelty.
Premier MacDonald had two
reasons for advancing the .date
of the elections as much as pos
siblefirst, a desire tor-avoid in
convenience to the business com-;
munity and public interests gen
erally, and second, the necessity
of holding the general elections
on some date which would not
conflict with the English muni
cipal elections, scheduled for No
vember 1, fc'djr
i Labor Party Popular
Mr. MacDonald and his parties
conceive themselves as on a wave
of popularity and therefore con
sidered It advisdble to hasten the
elections to the utmost. j To
achieve this end they even sacri
ficed the pet laborite idea of hold
ing; the elections on Saturday
when the workers have more leis
ure to record their votes.
1 The date has been fixed ' for
Wednesday, Oct. 29, and this
choice was only possible through
the1 house of lords adopting: the
Irish bill unamended. Lord Car
son, in the upper house today,
proposed fan amendment requiring
thai the bill become operative only
when ratified by the Ulster parlia
ment, but he consented to with
draw the amendment on the rep
resentation that it would delay the
bill; and cause a conflict with the
house of commons.
Fears Conflict ; 1
1 Lord Salisbury in the course of
the debate frankly confessed that
such a conflict between the lords
and commons would prove a very
bad election cry. So far as the
elections are concerned, therefore,
Ireland is out , of the picture.
There Is, in ! fact, no great ques
tion to place before the electors.
If all the parties admit that the
Campbell case is no question for
an appeal to the country, the con
servatives and liberals will thrust
forward with the question , of a
guaranteed loan to Russia. This
however is not the sort of an issue
to excite the electorate greatly.
Ramsay MacDonald and his
party are convinced that the real
motive of the conserraties and
liberal parties In forcing the elec
tions was growing Jealousy of the
success of : the labor administra
tion, especially in foreign affairs

McGraw said he would warm up
his staff and indicated that Barnes
would be the probable choice, air
though McQuillan might be used.
v Bucky' Harris, young Wash
ington leader, whose hit drove In
the only runs scored by his team
today, was confident that his club
would go out tomorrow and finisn
the good work they begun today.
"We have the advantage of our
home grounds," he said, "and are

ple here now because of the great
reception they gave us when - we

Finks Alleged Affidavit Is

By Progressive
SACRAMENTO,! Cal., Oct. 9
Senator Wheelf r of Montana, now
Independent vie presidential can

that A. L. Fink of Buffalo had
issued an affidavit charging him
with offering Inducements to get
testimony In that" affair, particu
larly from Miss Roxie Stinson. He
promptly issued adenial.
"Fink's story Is so preposter
ous on the face of it that It needs
no reply,,' Senjator Wheeler said.
"Of course, it'is absolutely false.
It is chiefly Important in showing
the ength to which Harry Daugh
erty and the f republican cohorts
are willing to- go and feel they
must go with their endeavor to re
elect Calvin Coolidge. t
"Just as One' sample of its Idiocy
I was investigating Daugherty and
assailing the republican adminis
tration. Howl would it be pos
sible for me, :as .a democrat, to
get anyone appointed to office.
Particularly how: in the world
could. I get Hafry Daugherty him
self to recommend anyone for the
federal judgshlp. when he was the
attorney general under fire. f
"Fink's affidavit says I was
promising stock market profits to
Miss Stinson. t 1 1 know so little
about the stock market that there
never has been a day of my life
when I could iav given anybody
an Iota of worthwhile information.

With 128 men out on the
