HECKLER'S QUESTION BREAKS UP MEETING
Jane Addams Asked About La Follette's Stand on Constitution
Cincinnati, Nov. 2. -- A La Follette-Wheeler political meeting here today at which Jane Addams, of Hull House, Chicago, spoke, broke up amid confusion when a man in the audience asked Miss Addams whether Senator Robert M. La Follette was connected with an organization which had for its main object the destruction of the constitution. The question remained unanswered.
Cries of "Throw him out!" "Shut up!" and "Sit down!" greeting the interrupter, who left the meeting almost immediately after he had asked the question.
When order could not be restored, the meeting adjourned.
Miss Addams decried the "political thunder" of Charles G. Dawes, Republican vice-presidential candidate, in his swing around the country in declaring that the constitution was in danger if La Follette was elected. She declared that there was need of a new political party to care for the large body of voters who do not vote because of their dissatisfaction with the two major parties.
