MARION .CELEBRATES

Nominee to Support Suf
frage Amendment.
By United Vnu
MARION'. 0, July 22. Henry Cabot
Lodge today, in a speech notifying
Warren G. Harding of his nomina
tion for president, denounced- the
League of Nations covenant as sub
mitted by the President as "another
name for the evil, combination watch
was attempted hundreds of years 'ago
by the Ill-omened Holy Alliance.1'
Lodge spoke at length on the League
question and praised Harding for his
conspicuous part in the defeat of the
League as written-
"We hare been quite ready to join
an agreement to benefit humanity suth
as The Hague convention," he said,
"and for the codification of Interna
tional law and the establishment of a
world court of justice for international
conference in regard to non-justifiable
disputes and for arrangements to bring
about a general reduction of arma
ments, but when called upon to be an
integral part of a permanent alliance
of foreign powers: to engage ourselves
In all conflicts and disputes of Europe
of no interest to us; to put ourselves'
in a position where the youths of the
country could be called to fight and
die in disputes not their own, we ab
solutely decline the proposition. Such
has been the policy of the Republican
party as represented In the Senate and
such, its policy shall remain.
"We are certain that you who so
largely helped frame the policy will,
when the execuUve authority comes
into your hands, carry It out In such
a manner that we can fulfill all re
sponsibility to the world without bind
ing ourselves to a League such as sub
mitted by the President."

contemplates, in whose councils the
Vice-president, second official of the

V.'e were not seeking to defeat a world

I can speak unreservedly of the

"The human element comes first.

to understand the aspirations, the

I want the wage-earners to under

Renters of Guitar Building
Believe Increased Rents
Too High.
The tenants of the Guitar Building
held a meeting at the County court
house this afternoon to protest against
a raise in rentals made by the ownarsv
N. T. Gentry acted as chairman, and
F G. Harris.-secretary of the meeting.
The tenants complained of a raise in''
rent In the last year varying from
50 per cent to 100 per cent.
James W. Schwabe. who is a
stockholder in the company owning
the bidding, and also a .tenant, con
tended that the owners had previously
rented the building at a rate so low
that each year they lost money. He
justified the Increases on the ground
of increased cost of operaUoaa.
The other tenants were of the opin
ion that the increases proposed were
more than could be justified.
Mr. Schwabe stated that the bookt
ot the company were kept by W. P.
Conley, manager of the building, and
that the owners would welcome inves
tigation ot their accounts.
Amotion was passed that the chair
man appoint a committee, to act with
him In investigating the accounts of
the manager of the building, and to
sonfer with the board ot directors.
Mr. Gentry then appointed Dr. H. F. .
QIIkeL El a Anderson, Win. H. Sapp
and Lakeman M. Price. The commit
tee was authorized to call another
meeting of the tenants as soon as
their report was ready.
Mr. Conley said later that the com
pany stands ready to lease the build
ing to any person who will guarantee
seven per cent Interest on the money
invested. The cost ot opertion for the
last year was 811.900 of which only
81,800 was charged off for deprecia
tion. The net loss on the building last
ear, according to the annual state
ment of the company, was 32700.
