New York Speech Still Possible
Whether this is to be the final speak
I ing tour of the campaign is to be
thrashed out. Senator Harding indi
: cated the New York t_rip was still in
abeyance. The Republican National
j Committee's speakers' bureau, however,
| is reserving .Madison Square Garden
for October 27 for a meeting to be ad?
dressed by Senator Harding,
The withdrawal from the Illinois
I gubernatorial race of Lieutenant Gov?
ernor John Oglesby has so cleared up
the political situation in that state that
it was decide?! this morning to add
several Illinois stops to the schedule oi
the present trip. A Chicago trin ??
now possible if Senator Harding con?
sents to leave Ohio again.
The one unpleasant prospect of th?
trip into Kentucky and Tennessee i>
the almost certain heckling on th?
negro question. The candidate satis
tied his Oklahoma audience last Sun
day, but he realizes that no matter how
he answers queries on the subject h<
loses votes.

Women Praise Harding
For Welfare Program
Voters' Publication Calls His
Pledge Most Remarkable
Pronouncement
The League of Women Voters ex
pressed enthusiasm in the current is
sue of The Woman Citizen for the pub
lie welfare program of Senator Har
ding, as outlined on Social JustiC'
Day from the Marion porch.
"It was by far the most remarkabl
pronouncement any candidate for Presi
dent ever presented on social reform,
tho editorial reads. "Mr. Hardin;
stepped considerably in advance of hi
own party platform in pledging him
self to do his utmost to bring abou
certain pressing reforms which hav
hitherto been avoided and evaded b;
men in legislative posts. Ile declare
for a Federal department of publi
welfare, which in itself is a noble pro
posai and in execution would be o
tremendous value to the people of hi
country.
"No worker for social betterment ca
fail to be highly gratified by the atti
tude taken by Mr. Harding, and in th
event of his election will anticip?t
cordial and helpful relationship wit
the White House. The League o
Wom.n Voters has reason to rejoic
that a man of Mr. Harding's standin
and political aspirations has indorse
so large a portion of its adopted an
legislative program."

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.?United States
! Senator Hiram Johnson, who arrived
in Chicago to-day for a speaking tour
: in Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, gave
. his unqualified approval of Senator
' Harding's pronouncements on the
League of Nations.
The Senator said that the funda?
mental issue before the American
j people was the League of Nations, and I
or that issue he predicted a landslide ?
I for the Republican national ticket, re- !
i gardless of local factional troubles in !
j several states.
"The situation for us Republicans ;
j could not be better," said the Senator. '
? "In the three great coast states Senator
! Harding will win overwhelmingly.
"The issue in our territory, which
! also is the overshadowing issue of the
! Eastern states, is the League of Na
I tions, because of the pre-primary fights
! which have made the Coast states

peculiarly familiar with the whole
question of the so-called covenant.
"Some have attempted to misrepre?
sent Senator Harding'? position, but
without success. He has taken the
position firmly that our people, Last
and West, have taken overwhelmingly
opposition to the league; and our
' peoph^oul West have responded in no
I uncertain fashion.
"We have had both Cox and Roose?
velt in the West, but. they made no
headway against Senator TIarding's
statement >f his position.
"Only seondary to the election of
Senator Harding is the election of
United States Senators in accord with
; his views. The Republican candidates
I for the Senate who stand on that doc
! trine should be elected to aid Senator
j Harding when he becomes the next
President.
"Of course, every normal person will
promote peace and prevent war' by
every honorable means. And it goes
without saying, just as Senator Har?
ding puts it, that hereafter all will
strive to prevent another cataclysm.
"But the, issue now is the League of
Nations. The overshadowing issue is
whether American citizens will submit
to an organization of European and
Asiatic diplomats, which will neither
promote peace nor prevent war."
"I have had no doubt about Senator
Harding's position from the first. He
is absolute now. His utterances at
the Des Moines meeting will satisfy
any bitter-ender or irreconcilable. 1
wish to make it clear that I am the
same individual. with the same
thoughts and ideas that I was during
the primary campaign. I stand to-day
just where'I stood then."

jCummings Say?s U. S.
Must Redeem Word
(Tharges Republican? Turned to
Bitter Partisanship After Sign
ing of the Armistice
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 12.?America
belongs to the world and must re?
deem her word before domestic and in?
ternation..! chaos will end, Homer S
; C'ummings, former Democratic national
chairman, asserted to-day in an address.
| before the Indiana I>emocratie Club in
this city. He urged that America
enter tho League of Nations and that
the Democratic national ticket b.
elected.
The Republican party turned to
bitter partisanship with the declara?
tion of the armistice with Germany.
Mr. Cummings said. He charged its
leaders With being more interested in
party success than in national honor.
This was followed, he "asserted, by in?
ternational complication of a perplex?
ing and sinister character. ,
"Every enemy of society, peace or
civilization took quick advantage of
the period of hesitancy," Mr. Cum?
mings declared.
"We have now passed through two
years of domestic and international ;
chaos," he concluded. "There is only ;
one way out, the clear path of duty. !
It is to redeem America's word to the
world, and to assume without hesita?
tion our share of the task of rehabili?
tating the broken structure of civiliza?
tion."

AUBURN. N. Y.. Oct. 12.?Senator
| James W. Wadsworth jr. in a speech
j here to-night emphasized the necessity
! of providing peace-time training f >r
? young m?n of the country to make.
? them available for instant call in time
; of war.
I "We must give the citizen soldier
j an opportunity," he said, "to learn the
! military arts and train himself so that
j when the government needs him and
takes h:m for the defense of the coun
I try ho may have u decent chance to
survive in the performance of his
! duty."
Senntor Wadsworth said he favored
statutory recognition of the citizen
soldier, giving him a place in the army
of (he United States.
Charging extravagance in past ad?
ministrations of the army and navy,
:he Senator pointed to the record of
the present Republican Congress and
committees in charge of military and
naval affairs, which, he said, had saved
the country a billion dollars in. con?
nection with the army alone.

Your Income and Ours
Your income determines how you live,
what sort of a house you occupy, and

upon yoiL
In the same way the income of the
Telephone Company determines how
it shall live and develop, and what
sort of service it cap give its patrons.

$12,300
If you have a business property
appraised at $12,300 and your net
revenue from it is only $225 a
year, ' you are not doing very well.
Your return is less than two
cents on each dollar.
On such a revenue it would be al?
most impossible to enlarge your
business, no matter how much the
public needed that increased serv ce.
New money is scarce and costly
and few investors after a look at
your meager earnings would ad?
vance you any money.
$123,000,000
It cost more than $123,000,000
to build the physical property of
the New York Telephone Company,
now in public use in New York City.
Based upon our earnings during
the first eight months of the year,
our net revenue for 1920 under the
present rates for service will be
about $2,250,000.
That sum represents a return of
less than two cents on each dollar,
the same return per dollar as in
the smaller business previously
mentioned
A business financially handicapped cannot serve you efficiently.
Our business in New York City is financially handicapped
We cannot remove this handicap unless our revenues are in?
creased, We cannot maintain our present service, nor can wc
expand our system to meet new requirements unless we are
able to secure new capital. We cannot secure new capital
unless our financial standing satisfies investors.
To meet the situation we have filed a petition with the
Public Service Commission, Second District, asking for higher
rates which we believe will provide the added revenue required.
We believe the public, which realizes the tremendous benefits
of adequate telephone service, will support this effort on our
part to insure the maintenance and development of a high
standard of telephone communication.
