yesterday, were walking Tuesday night ?
when they were attacked by a large
band of strikers.
The four sought refuse in a hous^ !
near the Canaraie barn, and were un- ;
able to git word to the officials until <
afternoon yesterday. Inasmuch as
ttoeir detention had been unavoidable, '
t' ey were permitted to retain their j
?seniority. The police are searching
for their companions, some of whom,
according to the story of the quartet, j
have not been heard from since they i
were chased by the strikers.
Between Th"irty-ni%|h and Fortieth j
?Streets in Brooklyn yesterday after- |
noon a two-ear local train bound for j
Manhattan ran into a fishplate placed
on ;ho track. Police say it was an at- j
tempt to wreck the train. Traffic was
tied up for nearly an hour. j
No on'e was injured, but during the
investigation that followed Allan Sale,
an inspector for the Public Service
Commission, booking into the accident,
seemed to the police to be acting
suspiciouslv. At the point of revolvers
he was ordered to "throw up his
hands."
A:? Mr. Sale reached for his waist?
band to show his identification badge
on- of the policemen thought he was
about to draw a gun. This guardian ;
of the law grabbed the inspector in
a vice-like grip -tad marched him to
the police itation Upon seeing Mr.
Sale's credrntials Captain Gillen, of'
the '?d District, ordered his release.
Although 3,500 men crowded into |
B- 'ok'.yn Labor Lyceum, Myrtle and !
V.'?!loughby avenues, for the night j
meeting of the striker?, there wis lit- j
t.o enthusiasm and about 20J left
while Louis Fridiger, attorney for the
Amalgamated, was speaking.
Mr. Fridiger read parts of the let
tor officers of the Amalgamated sent I
to Mr. Garrison and Mayor Hylan. He ;
said it was too ion? to read in full
arid emitted the paritrraph in which
the officers of the association declare
they never made a i'<:ntnct with the
1>. R. T :?:id, moreov.-r, were against
the strike from tha r.rst.
The attorney urged the men to stick
fest, asserting that in forty-eight houis
tnoy would have the pubi't with them.
Garrison Starts Work
Of Filling B. R. T. Force
Predicts Slew Progress to Get \
ami Train New Men; Urges !
Patience on Part of Public j
The future policy of the Brooklyn I
l?'pi? Transit Company in overcom?
ing the strike is outlined in a state- ;
ment issued yesterday by Receiver ;
Lir.dley M. Garrison. ?le says in part: !
"We now enter upon the second
phase, which is the slow and laborious
process of obtaining and training new
men as a permane.it force for the ,
pr per an?.T e.'.'lcient operation of the
system. This calls for much hard
work on behalf of the management and
much patience on behalf of the pub- '
.lie. _ j
' The obtaining of the new men will j
he difficult, but the outlook is very '
hopeful. Despite whatever has been I
said upon the aubject, this employment i
i? by no means in paid, and consider
i.. ; the ratio of income to outgo, is !
vory well paid.
"The minimum pay of a guard on the
elevated and subway is $1,450 a year, j
t'ld I.is maximum, obtained atter eigu- j
teen months' service, is $1,560 per an- '
num. Similar figures for the conduc- !
tors on the elevated and subway are '
$1,750 minimum, and $1,840 maximum. !
?The conductors and motormen on
the ? urface are paid a minimum of j
$1,6.".') a year, and after three years a :
maximum of $1,950 per annum.
"All of these, of course, are for men |
working full time, which means six |
days a week. j
"It is the identical wage paid by the :
following companies to the number of j
men indicated in similar lines of em
ploy ment:
"intcirborough Rapid Transit Com- |
pan.v. 4,558 men.
"New York Railways Company, 1,494
men.
"Third Avenue Railways Company, i
?,044 men. j
"The other surface railroad com- j
panics in the greater city cither pay i
their numerous employees similar
wages or less. !
"Takine other lines of employment
and without emphasizing the greater
physical ar.d mental requirements
thereof, v.e find that the wages paid I
by un contrast very favorably there?
with.
"The 1-,!G7 hard working and faith?
ful letter carriers and postoffice clerks
in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx
r?cr;ve n minimum of $1,400 a year,
and after five years a maximum of
$1,800 a year.
"The 3,759 firemen of our exception?
ally fine Fire Department receive a
minimum of $1,769 a year, and after
three years a maximum of $2,280, and
our unexcelled Police Department pays
Its 9.229 patrolmen a minimum of $1,7(59

$315,000 in Gty Stock
Orderert to Repair Pier
Berolzhcimer Objects to 7V?
. Per Cent Interest Charge
I to Hagan Firm
The Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund yesterday adopted a resolution
recommending that the Board of Esti
| mate authorize the issuance of $315,000
F in corporate stock to reconstruct the
city-owned pier at the foot of East
Fourth Street, which v.as leased to the
firm of Carrol, Hagan & Carrol, steve?
dores, of which the son of Jimmie
Hagan, Tammany district leader, is a
member.
Under the agreement with the city
the llagan firm is to pay 7V, per cent
of the cost of reconstructing the pier,
in addition to about $27,000 for the use
of the docking facilities. The total
cost to the firm amounts to about $50,
000 a year, which sum has been held as
absurdly low by shipping concerns leas?
ing similar pier?. In some eases the
wharfage fees have amounted to $500
a day.
City Chamberlain Berolzheimer, who
is a member of the commission, pro?
tested against the small percentage
charged to the Hagan firm. He as?
serted the city was paying rearlv 6 per
cent for money, and suggested that the
cost of reconstruction to the lessee be
increased to 10 per cent. The sugges?
tion will be taken up later. Demity
Comptroller Arthur J. Philbin, repre?
senting Comptroller Craig, who is on
hie vacation, wax recorded as not vot?
ing on the resolution.

Democratic Campaign of
Mudglinging Declared to
Have Proved Boomerang
By Charles T. White
PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 8.?Guy P.
Gannett, Republican National Commit
teeman for Maine, to-day claimed Maine
for the Republicans in the election j
Monday by a plurality of from 25,000
to 30,000. ?
Mr. Gannett, who is a member of the ?
Maine State Senate, has visited every ?
county and town of any size in the state
in the last two months. Mrs. Gannett,
one of the state woman organizers, has
accompanied him most of the time, and
the prediction of an unprecedented Re?
publican sweep is made after a careful
Teview of the entire situation.
"The tide is unmistakably Republi?
can," said Senator Gannett to The Trib?
une correspondent.
"Things were somewhat dead until the
Democratic state organization people,
possibly in collusion with the Demo?
cratic National Committee, sprang an
attack on Colonel Frederic H. Park
hurst, our candidate for Governor, prac?
tically charging him with irregularity
in connection with government con?
tracts during tire war.
Republicans Aroused by Attack
"Colonel Parkhurst's standing is such
that instead of hurting him the attack
aroused Republicans all over the state,
putting a spirt of fight into them and
sending them to the registration places
ifi increasing numbers. There is no
longer any doubt of a sweeping victory
on Monday. Four years ago Judge
Hughes carried Maine by about 5,000,
while Governor Milliken had a margin I
of about 132,000. Two*years ago Gov
ernor Milliken won by a margin of I
5.000. Two weeks ago it looked as if t
20,000 would bo all that we could rea
sonably expect for our state* ticket.
I am glad that the facts warrant boost- j
ing the figure higher.
"Our danger two weeks ago was over- |
confidence and apathy. Now from all !
over the state we get the same story?- j
that t'ne Republicans, men and women !
alike, are in a fighting mood and that
the stay-at-home vote will be small. |
Thousands of women who were indif- !
feront ten dp.ys ago are aroused by ?
the Democratic campaign of vilifica
tion and mud-throwing.
"They not only are registering for
Monday's election but are enrolling
as regular party members and asking i
for a chance to work- The women of !
Maine remember th>at the Wilson Ad- '?
ministration fooled the people four ;
years ago on the 'He kept us out of
war' slogan, and they do not take any
stock now in the Wilson League of
Nations. The Republicans will elect i
their entire state ticket and all four
Congressmen, all by increased plurali?
ties. ,
"The Democrats have not tried to
make a campaign outside of the coun?
ties of Androscoggin and Knox, where
they have good organizations, but in
those ' counties the Republicans will
give their opponents the stiffest bat
t.es they ever have had, and we expect
to increase the Republican vote in both
of those counties. Many Democratic
leaders concede the state to us by in?
creased pluralities. There is every in?
dication that Maine Republicans will
do themselves proud on Monday. We
await the battle with confidence. As
Maine goes so goes the nation."
State Chairman Ham and Senator
Gannett say Representative Ira G.
Horsey will bo reflected in the fourth
district by a largely increased margin.
The Fourth district includes Aroostook
County, the potato belt; Penobscot
County, producing lumber and wood
products, and Piscataquis Couraty, all
of which are rock-ribbed Republican.
' The northern Maine Republicans de?
mand a protective tariff. They are close
up against New Brunswick, Canada,
where potato raising and lumber
production aie as profitable as in
: northern Maine, and the Maine farm?
ers always have demanded a protective
I tariff as against cheaper labor condi?
tions across the Canadian border.
These northern Maine Republicans
know that they are operating under
1 the Underwood tariff of 1914, which,
before the opening of the war, brought
?ibout widespread business stagnation.
They argue that unless there is a
?change m adminis' .aCon at Washing
! ton the depressed business conditions
will retvrn.
Solid for Harding and Protection
i Whether their reasoning is sound or
| not they are almost solidly shouting
! for Harding and Cvolidge and a protec?
tive tariff. Aroostook County has not
! been carried by ?Lit--. Democrats for a
i state or county office for the last gen
j elation. Piscataqu?-* County has nl
: most the same kind of record of un
! broken Republican control. t Per.ob?cot
l County is the largest in population,
I containing Bangor, Brewer, and Old
j town. While Penobscot has gone Dem
l erratic half a dozen times in the last
| twenty years, four years ago it 'vuicnt
; solidly Republican, and the leaders
; there say that the Republicans will
' sweep it this year.
Representative Ira G. Hersey, whose
\ reelection seems assured, served in
! the Maine Legislature in 1909-'12 and
? in the State Senate in 1913-'14. He
: was president of the Maine Senate in
! 1915-'16. He was elected to the 65th
1 Congress in 1916 by a vote of 17,
! 647 to 12,969 for his opponent, Leonard
Pierce, and he was re?lected in 1918.
Halbert P. Gardner, of Portland, Pro
' gressive candidate for Governor in i
1914, "-rho ha? ca? paigncd all around
the state this '-ear for the Republicans, i
in commenting to-day on the situa
tion in the state said: i
"The fight is all gone out of the |
Democrats. They do not seem to be
. making an: ? ampaign outside of
j Androscoggin and Knox counties, and
so far as I can see they are not look?
ing after the registration of women
voters as the Republicans are doing.
The attack by Pattangall, the Demo?
cratic state leader, on Colonel Park
; hurst has proved to be a boomerang.
? After talking around the state I am
; of the conviction that the people are
I tired of the League of Nations and
are read: to dump it at the first op- i
' portunity. 1 know that a platform
declaration to that effect will get a
i rise out of an audience more certain?
ly han anything else."
Colonel Charles S. Prescott, owner
of The Biddeford Journal, in Portland
to attend the Coolidge meeting, said
the vote -for Senator Moses in the i
New Hampshire primaries was one of
the most significant things of the cam?
paign. ? *
"Moses has been outspoken against
the Wilson League of Nations, and I
understand that the Democrats used
thst fact against* him in the primary
fight," he said.
"Apparently he wins bv two to on?.
I do not see how the Democrats csn
get any comfort out of the victory of
Senator Moses. In and around Bidde?
ford the Democrats are listless, while
the Republicans are working early and
late. All the indications point u a
Republican sweep au Xv?uey.
U. S. Tightens Rules oil
Sale of Whisky Stills
New Checks Plann?ed to Tr?ace
Owners and End Illicit Manu?
facture of Liquor
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.?In an ef?
fort to end illicit distilling of intoxi- j
eating liquor, the Treasury Department;
decided to-day to tighten regulations
on the sale of stills and add another j
check in tracing their users.
Manufacturers are required by the |
new regulation to report all sales, the ,
names of purchasers and places where j
the stills are to be set up. Names of
manufacturers must be securely at
tached to the articles sold, and sworn
statements must be obtained from pur- ?
chasers setting forth the purposes for j
which stills are to be used.
Until the manufacturer has complied
with the new regulations he is not per
mitted to allow the still to leave his
wareroom. Such sales cannot be con
BUmmated until a permit or certificate
has been granted by the local internal
revenue authorities.
Details of the still's specifications
are demanded, as well as the produc- ,
tion capacity on a per diem basis?
Copies of this information must be i
preserved by the manufacturer and the i
purchaser and a third copy delivered to j
the internal revenue agent at the placo
of sale.

(Continuad from p?o? on?)
wiser counsels prevailing, l?ut I fear
that the latest dec'aration of the Min?
isters precludes any such hope."
Redmond Howard, nephew of the late
John Redmond, who recently sent a tel?
egram to King George urging clemency
for the Irish hunger strikers, has writ?
ten a letter to the Premier in which
he offers himself as a hostage for Lord
Mayor MacSwiney.
In response to representations from
ex-Sheriff Barney of the County
of Ccrk, counselling the imme?
diate release of t::e eleven un?
tried hunger strikers in Cork jail,
Premier Lloyd George to-day sent
a message declaring that the hunger
strikers all had been arrested "either
in the act of murderous attacks on
noli?-?? or soldiers, or on clear evidence
implicating them in such attacks, and
they are engaged in a combined effort
to prevent their trial and have re?
duced themselves to a physical condi?
tion under which a trial is legally im?
possible.
"The government." continues the
Premier, "cannot allow men charged
with such grave offenses to escape trial
by their own act. If this were per?
mitted, there would be an end to any
pOBsibilitv of the enforcement of law
and the administration of justice."
One Cork Prisoner Collapses
CORK, Sept. 8.?The eleven hunger
strikers in Cork jail, who are under?
going the twenty-ninth day of their
self-imposed fast, are all in a serious
condition. Sean Hennessy, the nine?
teen-year-old youth of Ballingarry,
Limerick, collapsed this afternoon and
remained unconscious for a time. His
parents and the prison chaplain are at
his side to-night.
The Deputy Lord Mayor, who made
the announcement after his daily visit
to the hunger strikers, said that the
condition of several of the others was
very bad.

1,800 House Wreckers
Vote on Strike To-day
Walk-Out Threatened Because
Employers Hired Men of
a Rival Union
Eighteen hundred members of the
House Wreckers' Union will determine
to-day whether they will go on strike.
Officials of the union expect to con?
fer at the Continental Hotel with dele?
gates from the Demolition Protective
Association, which represents the em?
ployers. Pincus Hockstein, secretary
of the union, said yesterday the griev?
ance of the men was that the asso
ciation had disregarded an agreement
not to employ wreckers who are mem?
bers of rival unions.
Members of the Plumbers, Fitters
and Helpers' Union, who are on strike,
vesterday sent a letter to Mayor
Hylan asking for the removal of a
patrolman and a sergeant whom they
accuse of having beaten F. S. Weber
while the latter last Friday was picket- I
ing an establishment at 834 Rogers j
Avenue, Brooklyn. -
The Van Owners' Association, whose
employees also are on strike, yester?
day reported to the police that they
had received many threats of violence.
Grant Wayne, secretary of the associa?
tion, said the members were refusing
to sign agreements with the union.

Accused of Counterfeiting
News Stand Proprietor Alleged
to Have Made Half-Dollars
t A charge of counterfeiting half- j
dollar coins was made yesterday j
ae-ainst Antonio Amradeo, a proprietor j
: of a stationer" and news stand in ?
? Beaumont Avenue, the Bronx. He was !
I arrested by Captain John S. Tucker, of
the Secret Service. The prisoner was
held in $3,000 bail for examination on I
September 16 when arraigned before
United States Commissioner Hitch?
cock.
Mrs. Eugenia Branca, proprietor of
a fruit and grocery store at 2597
Eighth Avenue, also was arrested.
Captain Tucker said he has received !
many complaints that Amradeo had '
been offering bad coins at other sta- j
tionery stores in the Bronx. Some of
the spurious money was found in his
possession. Mrs. Branca also is said
to have passed out coins in her neigh
borhood, apparently struck from the ?
same mold. She had none when ar
raigned.
Lunn in Fight to Win
Mayor George F. Lunn of Schenect- j
ady, who made three campaign !
speeches last night in Brooklyn, de?
clared that he was in the fight for the
Democratic nomination to the United
States Senate to win and not as the
result of a "deal" with Senator Wads

! day.
I "I know how to fight," said Mayor
i Lunn, "and never would have entered
this fight if another Democrat had not
been forced to accept the designation
in order to head me off."
Mayor Lunn spoke at the Flatbush

Republican Women Are in
Open Rebellion Against
Speaker James F. Walsh,
Threatening to Bolt
Many Seek Governorship!
Anti-Suffrage Leader Asks
Coming Legislature to
Ratify 19th Amendment
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 8.?Rob
bins B. Stoeckel, of Norfolk, State
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, was
in the lead to-night of the large field
contesting the nomination for Gover?
nor on the Republican state ticket to
be selected to-morrow by the state
convention, which opened to-night.
Speaker James F. Walsh, of Green?
wich, favorite of the state organiza?
tion under normal conditions, late to?
night declared He would not agree to
withdraw his candidacy without a fight.
Attorney General Frank Healy, of
Windsor Locks, Is backing Walsh and
agrees that all pre-co::vention promises
should to adnered to without regard
to the *^.>n rebellion of the Republican
women, who have threatened to bolt
any ticket on which Walsh runs.
Women Hold Meeting
The Republican women of Connec?
ticut, through the representatives of
organizations covering the whole state,
held an important meeting this after?
noon, with Mrs. Joseph W. Alsop, of
Avon, formerly Corinne Douglas Rob?
inson, of New York, niece of the late
Colonel Roosevelt, presiding. They
discussed the entire situation and
adopted a resolution demanding that
the delegates in the convention, whom
the women had no part nor chance in
choosing a month ago, should nominate
for Governor some person whom
"women may conscientiously vote for
and support."
An interesting feature of the wom?
en's meeting was the adoption of a
resolution offered by Mrs. Arthur M.
Dodge, of Simsbury, piesident of the
National Association Opposed to Wom?
an Suffrage. She proposed that the
convention to-morrow recommend to
the incoming Legislature, whicr. meets
in special se36ion next week, tliat it
ratify the Federal suffrage amendment
at the same time it is enacting the
necessary legislation to lengthen the
period of registration of new voters?
the present statutory limitations being I
inadequate for caring for the thou?
sands of new women voters.
In his keynote address to the 586
delegates at the opening session of the
convention Senator McLean, besides
criticizing the Wilson Administration,
did what he could to aid the coming
campaign of his colleague, Frank 'J.
Brandegee, whose Democratic oppo?
nent will be Homer S. Cumminijs, also
a target for some of Senator McLean's
sarcastic shafts.
Stoeckel Also a Regular
State Chairman J. Henry Roraback
and his aid, James Buckley, of Gov?
ernor Holcomb's office, appreciate that
Brandegee, because of his bitter anti
suffrage attitude, will not lend much
buoyancy to the state ticket, and this
is one of the abnormal conditions
which is making the nomination of
Walsh hazardous. Stoeckel is quite as
safe and regular a follower of the
state machine as Walsh, but he has
been conspicuous for a much shorter
period, and is therefore freer from
many items of opposition which are
sure to bo charged against Walsh as
a nominee.
Other aspirants for the nomination
for Governor include Lieutenant Gov?
ernor Clifford B. Wilson, Mayor of
Bridgeport, who is unacceptable to the
state organization; State Senator
Charles A. Templeton, a Waterbury
manufacturer, who is more likely to
land the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor than State Senator George
W. Klett, of New Britain, and Colonel
William H. Hall, a rich thread manu?
facturer, of Willmington, whose inde?
pendence and candor have often irri?
tated the state leaders. It will require
the top of the ticket decision to clear
the way for other places on the ticket,
but Police Court Judge Francis Pal- I
lotti, of Hartford, seems certain to be
nominated for Secretary of State, and
Treasurer G. Harold Gilpatrick, of Put?
nam, will be renomlnated.
To effect a satisfactory compromise
in Fairfield County, from which both
Walsh and Wilson come, an effort was I
being made to-night to draft United
States Representative Schuyler Mer
ritt, of Stamford, a strong and popular I
citizen, who has thus far refused to
consider abandoning his Washington
career. The all-nignt conferences be?
tween the leaders may result in an
agreement to concentrate on some such
candidate as former State Food Ad?
ministrator Robert Scoville, of Salis?
bury, or retiring State Chief Justice
Samuel 0. Prentice, of Hartford.
Policeman Saves Woman
and Baby from Flames
Plays Heroic Role at Tenement
Fire That Routs Eighty
Families
An explosion flung Patrolman Louis
Fick of the West Forty-seventh Street I
Police Station against a lamp post :
about 2:30 this morning as he stood?
in front of 304 West Fifty-fourth !
Street. Turning, he saw an alley
which leads along the side of a five-1
story tenement alight with flames. The
building of the Dolan Garage Company
in the rear of the tenement was ablaze
from floor to roof.
As soon as he had sent in an alarm,
Fick ran through the tenement arous?
ing the occupants and calming those
already awakened. On the top floor
he foun'l a woman with a baby in her
arms poised at a window sill. She'
fainted as he seized her and he carried
both of them to the street.
The first alarm was followed by two
more. Eighty families were routed
from houses in the vicinity. The
Knights of Columbus clubhouse across
the street was thrown open to them
and coffee and sandwiches were pro?
vided as well as clothing.
Weeks Advocates
Raising the Limit
, On Campaign Gifts
-. ,
$1,000 Too Low, He Says,
and $15,000,000 Would
Be Cheap Price for Oust?
ing Democratic Regime
The limit of 51,000 which the Re?
publican National Committee placed on
campaign contributions is too low, ac?
cording to John W. Weeks, former
United States Senator from Massachu?
setts, who spoke yesterday at a meet?
ing of the Republican Ways and Means
Committee of New Jersey in Newark.
He told the business men who com?
posed his audience that if $15,000,000
wat necessary to get rid of the present
Administration they could "well ufford"
to contribute that much, and suggested
how the $1,000 limit might be nulli?
fied.
"The National Committee," he said,
"is asking for a fund of $3,000,000,
| but there is also a $700,000 fund being
raised for the benefit of the Republican
Senatorial and Congressional commit?
tees. Now there is nothing to prevent
you business men and financiers from
contributing to both funds.
"While you are restricted to $1,000 in
your contributions to t'ie $'{,000,000
fund, you are not restricted in your
contributions to the Senatorial fund. So,
if you feel inclined, after contributing
to the national campaign fund, you are
welcome to contribute any amount to?
ward the $700,000 fund.
"The Democratic Presidential candi?
date has charged that certain interests
are raising $15,000,000 for the purpose
of buying the Presidency. He says that
the interests, if they alect their candi?
date, intend to d vert the government to
their own profit. ?
"If it is necessary to raise $15,000,000 ?
you could well ufleid to do it to get rid ',
of the Administration now in Washing- I
ton. It would be ?. ;r od investment." j

Tugboat and Two Barges !
Drifting Out to Sea
Police Search Lower Bav in
Vain for Missing Craft;
Distress Sginals Heard I
After n prolonged search last night
for a tugboat and two barges reported
to be drifting out to sea with thirteen I
men aboard, the police of the marine
division returned to Pier A, uncertain i
whether another craft had gone to th" ]
rescue or the strays had eluded them in
the darkness.
The report of the plight of the throe
boats came from the Iron Steamboat
Company, whose steamer Taurus htani
distress signals in the lower bay off

Cox Charges
Harding With
Inconsistency
S-enator Declared to Have
Taken Eight Different Po?
sitions on League, and
His Speeches Are Cited
Joint Debate Is Suggested
Governor Says Opponent
Should Referee Match
for Johnson and Taft
GREAT FALLS, Mont., Sept. 8.?A
new assault on the international poli?
cies of Senator Harding was made here
to-night by Governor Cox in the lat
ter's Montana campaign. Governor
Cox declared Senator Harding had
taken eight different lositions.
At a public gathei./tg here ending a
day of rear-pla'-rorm campaigning
across northern Montana the Gov?
ernor demanded n definite statement
from Senator Hai ling and suggested
that the Republi n candidate referee
a League of Nat . ns debate between
Senator Johnso' of California, and
former Presiden i Taft.
"The campaig. . even though we are
more or les3 in the preliminaries,"
said Governor Cox, "has reached a
stage when we should take count of the
situation. It would seem fitting to di?
rect the nation's thought to this out?
standing thing: The changing, vacil?
lating, inconsistent ?ttitude of the
Senatorial candidate for the Presidency
on international questions.
"Senator Harding's positions have
been as follows:
"1?In the Senate voted with mild
reservationists.
"2?In the Senate advocated and
voted for the Lodge reservations.
"3?In the Senate supported the
Knox resolution for a separate peace
with Germany.
"4?Nominated on a platform which
declared 'the League of Nations has
signally failed.'
"5?Speech of acceptance proposed
separate peace with Germany and new
i relationship of nations to be estab?
lished by him and the scrapping of the
1 League.
| "6. August 28th, speech, an entirely
: new plan?The resurrection of the dead
Hague Tribunal under which there oc
; curred the Russo-Japanese, the Boer,
, the Balkan and the great World wars.
"7. Speech of September 6th?The
I league has now passed beyond the pos
I sibility of restoration.'
"8. Same speech (September 6th),
i 'Amendment or revision or rcconstruc
! tion of the league covenant is still
j among the possibilities.'
"It will be seen, therefore, that
eight different proposals have been
made by a candidate ror the constitu
? tional position of President, the officer
: who in a large measure initiates the
international policies of this Republic.
; "Let us not forget in this connec
! tion that Republicans of all shades of
j opinion on this subject have visited
Marion and', without evception, whether
? the guest favored the league or op
j posed the league he invariably re
I ported to the press that he indorsed
j Senator Harding's position as stated
I to him in conferences. All this would
be laughable if it were not so tragic.
i "It is important that a definite deci
; sion come out of Marion. In this con
: nection I have a suggestion, which is
' that Senator Johnson, who is against
! any kind of a league, and ex-President
? Taft, who has indorsed the present
league, conduct, a joint d??bate on the
front porch at Marion and that Sen?
ator Harding render a decision which
will be not only his decision, but his
final decision."
Governor Cox here and ?:; n nur.iber
of rear platform adtlresr .- ^Iso char?
acterized Senator Harding as the "re?
actionary candidate of the Senatorial
oligarchy and of big business inter?
ests trying to buy the Presidency."
Mr. Harding, the Governor asserted,
got only 723 of 40,000 votes in the
Montana Republican primary. 1'it
Democratic candidate reiterated
charges that Mr. Harding was nomi?
nated by a "ring" at Chicago.
Republican campaign contribution
Borah9s Ohio Speech
To Go Limit on League
8pecial Dispatch to The Tribune
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 8.?
The Republican campaign in Ohio
is to be waged on the basis of the
strongest sort of opposition to the
League of Nations. The Repub?
lican State Committee made this
plain to-day in announcing that
Senator Borah, of Idaho, would
speak at Dayton next Tuesday,
the same day on which Governor
Cox speaks in Borah's home town,
Boise City, Idaho.
Borah has reserved his fire,
asking that he be given this spe?
cial opportunity to speak. He
is said to have been stirred by
classification of himself by Cox
?with LudendorrT and Hindenburg.
Borah was given his invitation
to speak with leave to go the limit
in fighting the league.
charges also were repeated by Gover?
nor Cox to all of his audiences, many
of which were picturesque with cow?
boys and Indians from nearby ranches.
.At Wolf Point early this morning
the Governor appeared in pajamas, cov?
ered with an overcoat, to address his
first rear platform crowd. He was
joined at Wolf Point by Governor
Samuel V. Stewart and J. Bruce
Kremer, national committeeman.
Governor Stewart introduced the
candidate to station gatherings at
Oswego, Glasgow, Bowdoin, Malta, Chi?
nook, Havre and Fort Benton. Bands
were out at several towns and a Havre
reception committee boarded the train
at Harlem.
Governor Cox remained at Great
Falls to-night and leave? early to?
morrow for engagements at Helena,
Anaconda and Butte.

National Chairman and !
Tells of Method to Getj
Voters Out in November
Women members'of the Republican
Committee of Onn Hundred called on I
Chairman Wiii H. Hays at national!
headquarters yesterday to offer their
services to the campaign committee.
The women's organization is composed
of those who worked for General Leon- I
ard Wood before the Republican na?
tional convention, and is headed by
Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard.
Mrs. Willard explained to Chairman
Hays a plan by which the organization
expects to interest women who have
not yet been reached through other
political channels. Mr. Hays indorsed
the idea and suggested, that every
woman be presented with a campaign
button, showing a black elephant and
the words: "I will vote."
Each woman on the committee will
be responsible for getting together a
group of her women friends, number?
ing at least five. She will endeavor to
interest them in politics, get them to
register in their district Republican
clubs and see that they vote on Elec?
tion Day. Each woman will be asked
to promise that she will vote.
The delegation included Mrs. Coffin
Van Rennsakar, Mrs. Rogers Bacon,
Mrs. McAllister Smith, Mrs. Edward S.
Van Zile, Miss Mary Bogart and Mrs.
Hoffman. Mrs. James Russell Parsons
is vice-chairman of the committee and
Mrs. Douglas Robinson and Misa Ju
1 liana Cutting are members. The or?
ganization has the approval both of
Genera! Wood and the Republican state
and national comm'ttees.

Special Cable to The Tribune

BERLIN, Sept. 8. - Most observers
here believe that the bubble of Bol.
shevism, so far as Germany is eoa.
cerned, has been pricked. After dit.
closures that the German extreme So
cialists who quit Moscow recently were
disgusted and dismayed at the undent,
ocratic character of Sovietism. comes
the collapse of the attempt to overturn
legal authority in W?rttemberg by an
anti-tax strike. The strike failed, and
at Stuttgart the indignation of the
misled strikers is so great that many
of the Communist agitators have fled
from the town.
Discussing the lessons of the Wort,
temburg strike the Frankfurter Zel.
tung says its collapse shows how in?
significant the power of the radie?'
terrorists really is, once the govern?
ment, as in the present case, faces
them boldly and insists that the law?
of the land be respected and enforced
"The German people," adds Ger?
many's leading newspaper, "want work
and peace."*
The campaign of the German Inde?
pendent or extreme Socialists against
the Russian Bolsheviki. who h?d im
posed most humiliating terms for the
admisaion of the German Socialist
party into Lenine's Third Internation?
ale, continues unabated. In the So?
cialist newspaper Freiheit to-day, Ger.
msny's most radical woman Socialist,
Frau Zietz, denounces "Moscow'? dic?
tators," who. she says, are trying to
impose spiritual slavery upon the So.
cialists of western countries.
"We don't want to be helpless slaves
of the Moscow crowd," she continues.
"We shall not stand for dictatorship,
no matter the quarter from which tt
comes. We leave hari kari to the
nobles of Japan."
Frau Zietz's article, which crested
widespread interest here, concludes
with the words: "We shall not go into
slavery."
Alarmed at the setback which Bol
shevism has had during the last few
days here in Germany,, agents of h?.
nine are beginning a new and more in?
tense propaganda among German
workers.
