day to the demands of the progressive

SufFragists See Hughes
One delegation of women who had
come by appointment held Mr..
Hughes attention so successfully that
such shining lights as George w. Per-
kins, late Secretary of the Treasury to
the Bull Moose party; r. Ross Apple
ton, r. H. Elder, former Progressive
leader of Brooklyn, and George B.
Cortelyou, erstwhile Secretary of the
Treasury, were kept cooling their heels
in an anteroom and it began to look
doubtful whether Mr.. Hughes could
rush through his calling list in time
to make the 4:05 train back to his
summer retreat in Bridgehampton,
L. I. He did make it, however, though
some of his admirers had to be con-
tent with promises of longer inter
views the next time he comes to the
city, which will be probably next We'd
nesday.
In the morning came Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, Mrs. Norman Der.
Whitehouse and DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, spokeswomen for the suffragists
who were closeted with the nominee
for nearly an hour. After they had
left the conference room Mrs. Gait
pronounced the interview "a very sat-
isfactory one"
Was it more satisfactory than the
assurance the women have received
from the Democratic party?" she was
asked.
Yes, it was very much more favor
able she replied.
Mr.. Hughes had as his guest during
his luncheon hour in the hotel
George w. Perkins, who is expected
to head the delegation of Progressive
leaders who are to be named as men,
bers of the Republican Campaign
Committee. He and Mr.. Perkins con-
versed for more than an hour, and
when Mr.. Hughes re-entered his con-
he found awaiting him a delegation
of antisuffrage women, not a whit less
militant than their predecessors
These included Mrs. Arthur H. Dodge
president of the National Association
Opposed to Women Suffrage; Mrs
Horace Brock, president of the Penn
sylvania State branch of the same or
ganization; Miss Alice Hill Chittenden
president of the New York State AS
sociation: Mrs. E. Yarde Breese, presi-
dent of the New Jersey branch; Mrs
Daniel A. Markham, president of the
Connecticut Association, and Mrs. Ed
ward Ford, chairman of the organiza-
ton committee of the Massachusetts
State branch.
1t was half an hour before Mr.
Hughes train time when the "antis'

smiles. When Mrs. dodge was in.

WANAMAKER TOBE
G. O.P. TREASURER?
Ex-Postmaster General Has
Talk With Hughes; Sees
Suffragists
Special to the Telegraph

New York. July Reports that
accept the appointment of treasurer
to the Republican National Commit
tee gained persistent circulation
around the Astor Hotel, following a
conference between the New York
Philadelphia merchant and Charles
Evans Hughes, Republican nominee
for President, and William r. Wilcox,
the party's campaign manager. When
Mr.. Wanamaker was asked about the
matter he said:
II have been for three-quarters of
an hour with Mr.. Hughes and I have
also been comforting with Mr.. Wilcox.
our interviews have not been con-
cluded:"
But is it true" some one persisted,
that you are to be treasurer for the
Republican National Committed"
Mr.. Wanamaker hesitated, and then
said:
I'm view of the fact that my inter-
views are not finished, perhaps I had
better not speak of that just now"
While no one else in authority
would discuss the matter for publica-
ton, the report continued to be the
chief topic of conversation about the
nominees headquarters. Mr.. Wana-
maker has been a lifelong Repub-
lican and served his country during
the Harrison administration as Post
master General.
1t was Ladies' Day" in the Repub-
lican National Headquarters. Equal
suffrage and antisuffrage in the per-
sons of their chosen sponsors both
successfully corralled Mr.. Hughes and
had he been a cotillion leader instead
of the Presidential nominee he could
hardly have been called upon to de-

Factory and Two Homes
Are Destroyed by Fire

Lancaster, Pa, July T. - Fire early
yesterday morning destroyed s. r. NJ.
Plank's carriage factory and the resi-
dences of Jacob Wilmer and Peter
Campbell, at Lampeter. The loss is
$4,000. The place has no fire depart
ment, and to get assistance men went
about the country in automobiles, toot-
ing horns to arouse the sleeping peo-
ple.~
The fire started in the carriage fac
tory and it is thought to be the work
of incendiaries. Other homes menaced
by the flames were saved by the volun-
teer brigades that responded to the
call of the automobile couriers.

one day of each week to be known as
Dollar Day Monday, at which time the
dollar is given additional purchasing
power.
Many merchants will display some
unusual offerings-some declare they
will offer goods for one dollar on Dol
lar Day Monday that ordinarily sell for
as muck as two and three dollars.
Dollar Day has become an institu-
ton in other progressive cities and
there is no reason why Harrisburg
cannot enjoy the same privileges. The
Harrisburg Telegraph will do its share
to increase the purchasing power of
every dollar spent, and tomorrow
night the announcements of merchants
who have joined in the movement will
appear in the Telegraph offering some
exceptional bargains for Dollar Day
