"NffW is the time for all good women
to come to the aid of the rarty. We
did."
Tais was 'ne rnessHgc from the wom
?n of Maine to the New York Rep?bli?
ca women at their "set together"
laacheon at the Hotel Commodore yes
t<rday- And the New York women re
bonded fifteen hundred strong, "We
?ill too."
They exchanged greetings by telegram
yjth Senator Harding and Governor
Cool?dge,' and they gave a welcoming
itorm of applause to the New York
?tat? candidate.? for office, including
?en?tor James \V. Wadswortl. jr. and
Jjdw Nathan L. Miller, the candidate
'or Governor.
' yjW Helen Varick Boswell, chairman
?{ the women'!? division of New York
Coanty, presided, with the two most
?romjr.ent candidates on either side of
1er and the long guest table stretch
tpj almost the entire length of the
ballroom. Card3 bearing the slogan:
'Make New York a Republican City"
were on all the tablea und were re- I
(erred to by several speakers.
Miss Boswell asked C >unty President
Samuel J. Koonig to read the telegram
from Senator Harding, which was as
follows:
. "I have been chosen to lead in the
restoration of American representative
government. Extraordinary as is tho
fact, it is none the less a fact that
under a rule in this country which
labelled? itself 'democracy' even the
fundamental doctrines of the Demo?
cratic party were forgotten and aban?
doned and we have beheld a real men?
ace to the American Republic in the
centralization of ? government and
power and in the unwillingness of
those who have enjoyed extraordinary
war powers to relinquish them when
peace came.
"We have had unpreparedness for
war and unpreparedness for peace and
reckless bungling with our American
business and agriculture. <
"The idea of an association of na?
tions, in which almost all American?
believe, has been so twisted out o?
shape because of the failure of thosi
intrusted with our affairs to consul!
the will of the people, that an entin
reconstruction of that idea now be
comes necessary to unito tho Ameri
can people behind it.
"Be assured that if I am intrustet
with the task of bringing America bacl
to her main road I shall have no dea
ear to the counsel of my countrymen.'
Coolidge Calls for Votes
The telegram from Governor Coo
lidge read:
"It is with a great deal of regre
that I am not able to attend you
iuncheon on September 18, as that i
the date of our state convention.
"The news from Maine is of such a;
ercouraging nature that it a?^os
seems the election is won. There is al
ways danger of overconfidence, and n
matter what the sentiment of the peo
pie may be, unless it is registered a
the ballot box it is of no avail in de
ciding elections. One thing is ap
parent. That is that the vote of th
women is turning to the Rep?blica
party. In that I am sure you will tak
great satisfaction."
Judge Miller refused, before th
luncheon, to say anything in regard to
the probability that the Legislature
would again oust the Socialist mem?
bers.
In his speech the candidate for Gov?
ernor complimented the Republican
women upon their energetic organiza?
tion.
I "I came down here from what I sup?
posed was the center of Republicanism
i in this state to help inject a little en?
thusiasm into your campaign," he said,
| "but I find I am getting instead of
i giving enthusiasm. If this sort of
thing continues we shall hold the en
I tire state, from Erie County to New
York, and we shall make true the slo?
gan on your cards, 'Make New York a
Republican City."'
He devoted the remainder of his
speech to a discussion of Article X of
tho League of Nations, saying that on
this Wilson and Cox were in perfect
accord, and that this was the one thing
: Harding and Coolidge proposed to de
I feat.
> ' "The women of Maine proved the
I other day that they have been consid?
ering this subject with their brains
?nd not their emotions," he said.
"Maine is the first rebuke. It is only
the first note, however, in the chorus
i which will ring over the country in
November."
Senator Wadsworth received an un?
usually vigorous greeting when he
rose to speak in celebration of his vic?
tory in the primary fight.
"Three cheers for Wadsworth! He'l!
get the women's vote, too," cried ?
voice from the gallery, which wat
| drowned in applause.
I Wadsworth Talks on Taxes
| "I feel warranted in Raying a wore
of especial interest to women?and one
: that appeals to every man, woman anc
: child in the countrv," he said. "It li
\ on a subject not often talked about?
that is taxation?and the financial ane
fiscal policies of our government.
"I have been told there is a specia
group of successful business womei
here to-day, but every woman is i
business woman, as there is scarcely
one who does not go shoping. Seven
eighths of the money spent is spent fo:
life sustenance. When the' housewife
of to-day goes to the store every arti?
cle she buys is taxed, directly or in?
directly. This government, under the
Administration which we have had for
seven years is the most extravagant
government in the world. We have
spent money like water, borrowed with
?both hands and kept credit inflated. Of
course, this has kept prices high. The
women voters can do nothing more ef?
fective than to impress upon their
neighbors thiB truth about the cost of
government and cost of living, so
called."

Lowden Choices for Guber?
natorial and Senatorial
Nominations Ahead; 268
Chicago Precincts Missing
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.?With returns
in from all down-state precincts, but
268 missing in Cook County, Lieutenant
Governor John G. Oglesby, supported
by Governor Lowden in the race for the
Republican nomination for Governor,
to-night held a liad of 2,526 over Len
Small, who was backed by Mayor Will?
iam Hale Thompson of Chicago.
Returns from other Cook County
precincts gave an average plurality of
40 to the precinct for Small. Results
of the vote in the missing Chicago
precincts will not be known until the
official count next week, and conse?
quently the race must remain in doubt
until then.
FdY the Senatorial nomination Con?
gressman William B. McKinley, Low?
den candidate, was leading Congress?
man Frank Smith, of the Thompson
ticket, by 19,140, with eleven down
state and 268 Cook County precincts
missing. The county precincts reported
gave Smith an average plurality of 35.
Eight of the missin.? down-state pre?
cincts are in Adams ^County.
On the Democratic side, J. Hamilton
Lewis, former Senator, continued to
pile up his lead over Barratt O'Hara
for the gubernatorial nomination and
leads by nearly 8?,000, with three-fifths
of the precincts in.
The Democratic Senatorial nomina?
tion remained in doubt, however Robert
Emmett Burke had 68,256 votes and
Peter Walker 60,700 in 4,366 precincts
out of 5,737.
Official tabulations In fifty out of
101 counties wer? completed to-day
and in nearly every c*se they reduced
the vot? of every candidate, no orte
gaining any material advantage in the
reduction.

Mrs. Robinson Completes
Plans of Speaking Tour
Mrs. Corrine Roosevelt Robinson, sis?
ter of the late Colonel Roosevelt, called
yesterday at Republican National Com?
mittee headquarters to complete her
plans for a speaking tour in the Mid?
dle west. She will work under the di?
rection of the Chicago headquarters.
At headquarters yesterday Mrs. Robin?
son said:
"I am greatly encouraged at the sue
cess of the various primary campaigns, :
and feel that the victory in Maine
points directly to what will happen
in November. The nominations in New
York State are of so high a charac?
ter that I am convinced the Empire
State will add a splendid quota to Re?
publican victory. I feel that Republi?
can success is more important this
year than it has ever been in the his?
tory of our country. The issues are
clear nationalism against internation?
alism; .Americanism against all-the
worldism. These are the two great
issues, but beyond that the Republican
party stands for economy against ex?
travagance, as was demonstrated by
what the sixty-sixth Congress saved
in appropriations. The nation needs
such careful economy and it also needs
a sound basis on which to stand as it
used to stand before visionary idealism
became the cult of an unstable Admin?
istration. Everything points toward
Republican victory, but that onlv should
excite those who believe in Republi?
canism to a greater and more strenu?
ous effort to make that victory secure."
Major Henry S. Hooker, of New York,
departed for Marion yesterday to offer
his services in the campaign to Senator
Harding. -
Major Hooker was active for a year
in the Leonard Wood campaign for the
nomination. He was a member of the
former New York law firm of Marvin,
Hooker and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
