"The President demands a cam- ,
paign on this issue; the Democratic
platform makes the issue paramount
and finally the Democratic candidates
unqualifiedly acquiesce. The

who voted for the Lodge reservations
are repudiated, the real
opinion of the American nation is
flouted, because the President Insists
upon his Isue rrgardless of <

party and candidates gladly '
accept the challenge. We are more i
than willing to make the election a j
national referendum on the question
whether we shall have four years

which resulted recently In the decision
by the Japanese government to
occupy that place and the contiguous

The anarchistic band, according
to the story told by Dyer, one of
the refugees, was under one Trapitsin,
who claimed to be under direct
orders from Moscow. Trapltsln's

Dyer was the manager of

He stated that fighting, began on

and re treating Russian "white
guards" and the red-black army. The
Japanese were driven Into their
barracks by Trapltsln.on March 12
and three days later Hi Japanese
survivers surrendered. Scores of

Informal and preliminary negoti- I
ations between the United States
and Japan, in view of the coming
California vote on the question of
more stringent land exclusion laws,
already have been begun. It was
learned here yesterday, and threaten
to form one of the most pressing
international problems facing
this country, certainly of mucn
greater significance to this country
as a whole than residents In the
East have heretofore thought.
Mikad* I.and Aroaaed.
Investigation of the California
sentiment has convinced the auministration
that the initiative
measure is almost certain to be
approved, by the voters of that
State, and equally authentic: advices
from Japan indicate that publie
opinion there already is very
much aroused at what is regarded
as a step to abrogate the treaty
rights of Japanese in the United
States.
There is every reason to believe
that the viewpoint of officials interested
In the matter has undergone
a change. '
The new viewpoint that is impressing
persons in touch with the
developments, especially in California.
is that the Japanese question
must be looked at from an
economic standpoint and not as a
question of racial antagonism.

Looked at in this light. Washington
opinion is that the Japanese

voiced, particularly that the Japanese
were undermining the industrial
atability of the State through
their Intensely low standard of living
and that because of the high
rate of reproduction they are becoming
an increasing menace each
year.
These factW. brought to light by
thorough investigation, form the
basis for the existing contention
that California must no longer be

an unjustifiable disturber of
the nation's peace by Its effort to
abate what it regards as a serious
inroad upon Its sovereignty.

LaFoilette Expected to Be

Boom Collapsing.

(L'airenfal Service 8UB Correspondent.)
Chicago. July 12. ? A third national
political party was born thia
afternoon in Carmen'* Hall in this
city.
Formation of the new party was
brought about by the coalition of
the committee of forty-eight and
the Labor party of the United States
after seven other political groups
represented here had joined with
them In a new political movement.
Union of the committee of forty*
eight with the Labor party was
brought about by the action of the
delegates to its national convention
who Yevolted against the action of
its leaders and taking negotiations
into their own hands early in the
day voted to amalgamate at ones
with the labor group.
FolUwg Mght Wrangling.
This action was taken after the
conference committee of organization
and procedure and platform had
deadlocked after a night of wrangling.
The conference committee having
failed to reach agreements, members
of the committee who favored immediate
amalgamation introduced
resolutions recommending the calling
of a joint convention for this
afternoon in the Labor party's hall
which were adopted by an overwhelming
vote.
The committee of forty-eight convention.
having taken the initiative
, in the move for an immediate amalgamation.
the forty-eighters' conference
committee Anally signed a joint
report with the committee of the
Labor party, recommending a plaa
of organization and procedure.
Joint Platform Submitted.
The joint platform committees
also reached an agreement after the
joint convention of the two major
and seven minor groups had op?- 4
and submitted a platform on wh
the new party will stand.
The name of the new party was
the final obstacle in the way of a
complete agreement.
The new party having finally been
established after a week of negotiations,
it was planned to finish the
work of-the convention before adjournment.
Nomination of candidates
for President and Vice President
were to be made following the
adoption of the platform.
United States Senator Robert M.
La Follette is expected to be the
nominee. Henry Ford's boom collapsed
this afternoon when Charles
S. Hoffman, who had opened Ford
headquarters at the Morrison Hotel,
announced that \he new party platform
was too radical for the automobile
manufacturer.
The single taxers. representatives
of the Nonpartisan League, the National
Farmers' Council, world war
veterans, the American Constitutional
party and other political
groups who allied with the Committee
of Flrty-eight yesterday after-<
noon were the first to form a coallI
tion with the Labor party. UebellUng
at the refusal of the leaders of
| the Committee of Forty-eight '?
| form an immediate amalgamation,
with the Labor party, these groups
went over to the labor committee
early this morning. Then the Committee
of Forty-eight followed.
Amalgamation Opposed.
Amos Pinchot, Allen McCurdy. J.
A. H. Hopkins, tfeorge L. Kecord
j and other so-called "intellectuals
and leaders of the Committee of
Forty-eight held out against amalgamation
with the labor group until
all points of difference had been
settled, but they were overruled by
the action of their own convention.
They did not go to the Labor
party convention hall with the other
delegates, but appeared later in

a noisy demonstration. Hopkins was
