CROWE TEAM INTO BOYS DEFENSE Dramatically Dem Death Penalty Franks' Slayers CRIMINAL COURT, CHI Aug. 26.—Assailing Nath Leopold Jr., and Richard A. the youthful murderers of Robert Franks, with such Pledges Party to Stop Stealing of Public Property MEMORIAL HALL, COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 26—Standing side by side, two Democratic candidates threw down a challenge today to President Coolidge to fight out the 1924 campaign upon the major issue of honesty in government. John W. Davis, the 1924 standard bearer, sounded the battle cry of Democrats to force this issue into the front in every state, county and precinct. A few minutes earlier, James M. Cox, who led the Democratic hosts in 1920, pledged his full support to Davis and called upon the Democrats to enthrone honesty in government as a cardinal battle slogan in the present campaign. Davis sounded the cardinal issue of his campaign in these words: "I pledge myself and my party to stop not only the stealing of public property, the looting of the public pocket and the giving away of government lands, but I pledge you honesty in thought and an administration fair to all people, the selection of honest men for public office and common honesty in administration." This pledge, he said, would carry into every corner of the nation. Davis appeared before the state Democratic convention and a crowd of 5000 gave him tumultuous welcome. The nominee was escorted to the platform by Governor Vic Donahay, former Governor James M. Cox, the firstard bearer of 1920; former Senator Atlee Pomerene and other state leaders. Davis was introduced by Cox, who also received a great greeting from the crowd. He first introduced Mrs. Davis, the "first lady of democracy." Cox paid a tremendous tribute to Davis. He referred to the New York convention where for two weeks Cox himself was boomed by his friends for the nomination. "It is a fact challenged by no one that the convention held in New York this summer was the most remarkable in history," said Cox. "And the man selected by that great deliberative conclave has caught the imagination of the nation. He carries to the nation a cause of common honesty at home and of broad humanity in our international relations with the rest of the world." There has never been a candidate in all our history surpassing in character, in experience or in training." "It is a fact challenged by no one that the convention held in New York this summer was the most remarkable in history," said Cox. "And the man selected by that great deliberative conclave has caught the imagination of the nation. He carries to the nation a cause of common honesty at home and of broad humanity in our international relations with the rest of the world. "There has never been a candidate in all our history surpassing in character, in experience or in training." URGES PUBLIC TO VOTE FAIR GROUNDS, COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 26.—In his second speech of the day, John W. Davis this afternoon made a stirring appeal for the American public to vote in the November election. Ten thousand visitors to the state fair were urged by Davis to take an interest in their own government by going to the polls." Those who failed to vote, he said, were a menace to the government, and a great danger to American institutions than a Russian "Red." Davis first paid tribute to the agrieultural productivity of Ohio. In his home state of West Virginia, he said, he had always been told "there was better wheat, better apples and better agriculture in Ohio. "It is the same in politics" Davis added. "It has gotten to be a custom that a man must be a native of Ohio to run for president. But this time I beg you to yield to West Virginia as the mother state of the next president." Davis said he would not make a political speech "because there is not a political gatherer." NEWLYWEDS CRASH LOS ANGEES, Aug. 26.—W. H.

Opoldis Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, youthful murderers of little Robert Frankes, with such savagand bitter invective that dese attorneys time and again obted, and Judge Cavarly at last to clear the courtroom of won. State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe this afternoon appealed for death penalty for the young layers as the only punishment it would even partially comsate for their crime. Crowe tore viciously into the dense for two hours. He debied Loeb and Leopold as "ratnakes, mad dogs, perverts, statistical smart alecks, degenerers" and a multitude of other ones which caused "Dickie" and Jabe" to squirm uncomfortably their seats, but left them to all earnances unterried and unnamed. Never were two prisonat the bar of justice subjected a more severe lashing than the odd-bitted state's attorney gave Franks' slayers. Chrua a torped afternoon that duced the packed courtroom to melting mass, Crowe shouted denunciation of them and dedemanded the rope. And when court courned shortly before 4 o'clock was still in the midst of his ument, which he expects to fintomorrow. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Fig. 26.—Tearing into the defense Nathan Leopold, Jr., and RichiA. Loeb with a furry seldom called in any courtroom, State's orney Robert E.

Crowe rose to the heights of na never before approached in dramatic trial. At one time, brandishing fist was less than feet from the nose of Nathan pold, Jr., and he shouted that was "a murderer, a pervert a kidnaper, and told him he did hang on the gallows." Crowe shot right back to his holic attack on Loeb and pold when court convened for afternoon session. He called them "murderers and terts" again before he had enched hundreds words. The attack left the young slayhood. They came into the telltown laughing, and gave ware stare for stare. Crowe described Darrow as kindly old nurse in this case DOCTOR AND DRUGGIST FINED Pleading guilty to an illegal sale of liquor, C. A. Gibson, Anaheim druggist, was fined $1,000 yesterday by Federal Judge James in Los Angeles. Dr. J. C. Osher, who had been writing prescriptions for sales at Gibson's also pleaded and was fined $500. Gibson gave up selling liquor, even on prescription, some months ago. He also has sold his Fullerton pharmacy, which did such business. Gibson today declared false the published report that he had been in the habit of keeping on hand a supply of prescriptions signed by Dr. Osher which he filled on demand. He averred that his offense had consisted in delaying obtaining the written prescription, the doctor authorizing the sale by phone. This "technicality," said Gibson, he would have fought except for the fact that he thought it would hurt his business. Speaking for Dr. Osher, Gibson declared that the physician was permitted a book of 100 prescriptions every three months, but had used only fifty in eight months. COUPLE HELD ON LIQUOR CHARGE Charles Gillis, of Cypress, rejoined his wife today after a brief separation, Gillis being landed in the county jail on a charge of possession of liquor, to gather with a prior conviction of a similar offense.

PRIMARY 1,600,000 Qualified To Vote on 11 Congressmen, But Few Will SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.—More than 1,600,000 California voters were eligible to vote in the state-wide primary election today for congressional, legislative and judicial offices. Indications were, however, that an extremely light vote will be cast except in a few districts where hot local fights have aroused interest. In San Francisco at 1 c'clock it was estimated that approximately 50,000 votes had been cast and that the total vote would not exceed 90,000 out of the registration of 190,000. Eleven congressional districts, the 80 assembly districts and the 20 odd numbered of the 40 state senatorial districts provided the list of officers seeking nomination. Beyond stiff scraps in some of the congressional districts for the nomination, chief interest centered in the fight for the control of the next legislature. Administration forces of Governor Richardson are endeavoring not only to hold their lines, but to strengthen control in the legislative body while anti-administration forces are endeavoring to take the legislature away from the governor. Governor Richardson here today to cast his vote in Berkeley, where he maintains his legal residence, declared he was certain of a friendly legislature and expected to win a majority of the legislative fights. Anti-administration spokesmen were equally confident that they would win most of the contests where the issue has been clean cut. In the congressional race two incumbents are unopposed for renomination. They are Clarence F. Lea in the first and Walter F. Lineberger in the ninth. In the second where Congressman John E. Baker seeks both the Republican and Democratic endorsement. Dr. Ernest Dozier, Redding, is opposing him in the Republican polls. In the fourth district, San Francisco, Congressman Julius Kahn was easily expected to win while in the fifth a hot fight was on for the sea made vacant by the retirement of Mrs. Mae Nolan, who was not a candidate to succeed herself. Lawrence J. Flaherty was picked to win both Republican and Democratic endorsement, altho James W. Mulley, a Democrat, was making a hard campaign. In the sixth district, Alamedaco, Congressman James H. MacLaine was arrested with deputy sheriffs in a raid on the Gillis place Saturday.
