Workers Will Rush from
Albany Lobbying to
Garden Fete.
PAPER COSTUMES MAY
NOT BE AT DANCE
Adamson Warns Mrs. Blake of
Fire Danger if All Women
Wear Filmy Crepe Smocks.

Puzzle for legislators: How can A
woman dress for ball, TO say nothing
OF having her hair marcelled, if she has
been lobbying for suffrage bill in Al
bany all day?
This is no puzzle for a working suf-
ragist. She answers: Don't. Let her
go 10 the ball in her lobbying clothes"
With this in mind, the Woman SUI
frage party members have put a spike
into what they mischievously believe
was an attempt TO spoil their bill and
their ball by rendering necessary
attention 70 the two on the same
day. The ball was scheduled for
March 7 long ago, and recently Mrs.
John Blair sent 10 every member Of
the Legislature an invitation 70 attend.
Immediately after that, she pointed
out yesterday, the same date was Sc
lected for the hearing before the Legs
laturc's judiciary Committee.
From Train to Garden.
'T guess they thocsh. we would be
so busy curling our hair that we
wouldn't know what was going on IN
ALBANY" she said, "but we'll show
them we can run the Legislature with
one hand and ball with the other.
Mrs. Whitehouse and the other mem
bers OF the judiciary Committee are
going 70 Albany on the o'clock train
and will come back on the Empire State
EXPRESS. marching right 20 the ball
from the train" About 100 women.
armed with oratory. will be at the
Capitol when the bill is reported out Of
committee.
There will be about 10000 women in
Madison Square Garden when the band
begins 70 play, at 9 o'clock. Special
trains for Mount Kisco, Port Chester
and Peekskill will leave the Grand Cen
trail at , o'clock in the morning, and
the band will stop an hour later.
The last hope OF the committee for
the yellow crepe paper dresses with
which they hoped 70 make this bal
costume carnival died yesterday when
Mrs. Blair talked with Fire Commits
sioner Adamson. II is against the law
TO sell non-freproof materials IN Mad
son Square Garden, and when ne gave
the suffragists permission 70 sell yellow
paper smocks ne understood. II was ex.
planned yesterday. that only half
dozen would wear them. Later. when
the women confessed that their plan
included paper dresses for all, Mr..
Adamson warned them of the danger.
Decide on Dresses To-day.
"He didn't say we couldn't have
them" said Mrs. Blair. HE asked me
il we really wanted them. and 1 SAID
Certainly not. Il would be too horrible
if anything did happen
There will be a committee meeting
this morning TO decide just how many
programme girls may wear smocks'
which may be discarded entirely.
Programme girls will wear yellow
caps and ruffs and will carry their
wares in blue and yellow striped bags.
There will be programme boys, too, a
purely suffrage invention, the idea OF
Mrs. +. r. Strange, and among the
society boys who will sell programmes
are Julian Speyers. Ben Tilton and
John Kerr. The chairman OF the pro
gramme sellers is Miss Eleanor Nash,

Chicago, ILL.,, June S.-During the
preliminaries OF the greatest conven-
ton in the history of the Republican
party there are many leisure moments
for the discussion of matters entirely
detached from the main purpose of
the foregathering here. Governor
Martin G. Brumbaugh talked over
with me this afternoon the prepa-
rations for the development of the
William Penn Highway, which is one
of the big State projects that is having
his personal attention.
Some months ago an association to
crystalline public sentiment in favor of
the road. which will begin at the City
Hall in Philadelphia, touch Harris
burg, sweep through the Juniata VAL
ley region and across the Alleghenies
to Pittsburgh. was formed at a gather
ing of more than 500 enthusiasts from
all parts of the territory which will
be touched by the new highway. At
the Harrisburg meeting William Jen-
nings was made president and a strong
board of governors was chosen to con-
duct the campaign for the building of
the road. Already large stretches have
been constructed as parts of the States
highway system.
Perhaps no more interesting contest
has been developed than the effort of
the Johnstown section to change the
line from Ebensburg to Blairsvile so
as to touch Johnstown and accommo-
date at least 1000 people who would
otherwise be without the facilities of a
translate highway in the Conemaugh
Valley Under the tentative plan it
was proposed to build the road straight
across the mountains to Blairsville,
but it is now agreed to swing south
ward to Johnstown and thence to
Blairsville, giving Ebensburg a con-
nection by means of improved roads
between the county seat and the steel
making city.

WILLIAM PENN HIGHWAY PLANS
ARE OUTLINED BY THE GOVERNOR
Putting Short Cut BeUeen EDereH and Huntingdon Into
Shape For Automobile TraDeL Is First MoDe

Alleghenies Governor Brumbaugh has
given orders TO the State Highway De-
partment to put the road between
Everett and Huntington in good shape
without delay so that motorists may
travel east from Pittsburgh to Everett
over the Lincoln Highway If they so
desire and then along the Raystown
branch about forty-tlve miles to Hunt
ingdon, where they would strike the
main route of the William Penn High
way and have the most picturesque
road in the State right into Harris
burg. Already about eighteen miles
of the road between Huntingdon and
Everett has been permanently i'm
proved by the State Highway Depart
ment forces. Governor Brumbaugh
has directed that the remainder OF the
road be widened and crowned for use
during this summer.
Those who have travelled west from
Harrisburg over the Lincoln Highway
~ way Vi Chambersburg and over the
mountains to Bedford will appreciate
what the connecting link between the
two main highways from Everett to
huntington will mean in the way OF
avoidance of the steep mountain
grades between McConnellsburg and
the Bedford county seat.
In addition to tho connecting link
between the parallel routes between
Everett and Huntington the Northern
Central Railway Company has agreed
to construct along the east shore of
the Susquehanna river between Clark S
Ferry bridge and Speeceville an en-
tirely new section of highway to re-
place the present dangerous lane COW
ering that section. 1t is expected that
this will be followed by the construc-
tion of a direct highway between
Speeceville and Dauphin, avoiding Red
Hill and two dangerous grade cross
ings. This will give a fine outlet from
Harrisburg westward, and when the
section between LeWistown and Hunt
ingdon-part of tho, old PHILADELPHIA
and Pittsburgh turnpike-shan have
been improved no finer highway in
the world will be available for tourists.
Its scenic features are unsurpassed.

Democratic administration for curtail-

Merchant Marine
In view of the policies adopted by
all the maritime nations to encourage
their shipping interests, and in order
TO enable us to compete with them for
the ocean-carrying trade, we favor the
payment TO ships engaged in the for
eign trade of liberal compensation for
services actually rendered in carrying
the mails, and such further legislation
as Will build up an adequate American
merchant marine, and give us ships
which may be requisitioned by the
government in time of national emer-
gency.
We are utterly opposed to the gov
eminent ownership or vessels as pro-
posed by the Democratic party be-
cause government-owned ships, while
effectively preventing the DEVELOPMENT
of the American mrchant marine by
private capital will bc entirely unable
to provide for the vast volume of
American freights, and will leave us
more helpless than ever in the hard
grip OF foreign syndicates.

The entire transportation system of

tion by legislation, or, II necessary
through an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, as will re-
suit in placing IL under exclusive Fed
eral control.
Economy and National Budget
The increasing cost of the national
government and the need for the
greatest economy of its resources in
order to meet the growing demands of
the people for government service call
for the seVerest condemnation of the
wasteful appropriations of this Demo-
cratic administration, of it's shameless
raids on the treasury, and OF its oppo-
sltion to and rejection of President
Tafts oft-repeated proposals and
earnest efforts to secure enocomy and
efficiency through the establishment of
n simple businesslike budget system
to which we pledge our support and
which we hold to be necessary to
effect any real reform in the adminis-
tration OF national finances.
Conservation
We believe in a careful husbandry
of all the natural resources of the ma
tion--a husbandry which means de-
velopment without waste; use without
abuse.
Civil Service Reform
The civil service law has always
been sustained by the Republican
party, and we renew our repeated
declaration that 1t shall be thoroughly
and honestly enforced and extended

party has created since March 4, 1918,

Through wise tariff and industrial
legislation our industries can be so
organized that they will become not
only a commercial bulwark, but a
powerful aid to national defense.
The Underwood tariff act is COM
plete failure in every respect. Under
its administration, imports have enor-
mously increased III spite of the fact
that intercourse with foreign countries
has been largely cut off by reason of
the war, while the revenues of which
we stand in such dire need have been
greatly reduced. Under the normal con-
ditions which prevailed prior to the
war it was clearly demonstrated that
this act deprived the American pro-
ducer and the American wage Garner
of that protection which entitled them
to meet their foreign competitors, and
but for the advcntitious conditions
created by the war would long since
have paralyzed all forms of American
industry and deprived American labor
of its Just reward.
1t has not in the least reduced the
cost of living, which has constantly
advanced from the date of its enact
ment The welfare of our people de-
mands its repeal and the substitution
of a measure which in peace as we'll as
in war will produce ample revenue and

est. field and factory.
We favor the creationc OF a tariff
commission with complete power to
gather and compile information for
the use of Congress in all matters re-
lating to the tariff.
Business
The Republican party has long be-
lieved in the rigid supervision and
strict regulation of the transportation
and great corporations of the country.
1t has put its creed into its deeds, and
all really effective laws regulating the
railroads and the great industrial cor
porations are the work of Republican
Congresses and Presidents. For this
policy of regulation and supervision
the Democrats, in, a stumbling and
piecemeal way. are undertaking to in
volve the government in business
which should be left within the sphere
of private enterprise and in direct
competition with its own citizens, a
policy which is sure to result in waste,
great expense to the taxpayer and in
an inferior product
The Republican party firmly believes
that all who violate the laws in regu-
lation of business should be individ-
ually punished. But prosecution Is
very different from persecution, and
business success, no matter how hon
estly attained, is apparently regarded
by the Democratic party as in itself a
crime. Such doctrines and beliefs
choke enterprise and stifle prosperity.
The Republican party believes in en-
couraging American business as it be-
lieves and will seek to advance all
American interests.
Rural Credits
We favor an effective system of
rural credits as opposed to the ineffect-
i've law proposed by the present Demo-
cratic administration.

Reaff1rming the attitude long main

hold that officials appointed to admin
lister the government of any territory

Labor Laws
We pledge the Republican party to
the faithful enforcement of all Fed
eral laws passed for the protection OF
labor. We favor vocational education,
the enactment and rigid enforcement
of a Federal child labor law, the en-
actment of a generous and compre-

Suffrage
The Republican party, reaffirming
its faith in government of the people,
by the people, for the people, as a
measure of justice to one-half the
adult people of this country, favors
the extension of the suffrage to women,
but recognizes the right of each State

our purposes and policies. We close

The great issues of the day have been
confused by words and phrases. The
American spirit. which made the coun-

all Americans, whether naturalized or
native born, to prove to the world that
we are Americans, in thought and in

to be true to the spirit OF America, to
the great traditions of their common
country, and, above all things, to keep
the faith.

Japan's Demands on China.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servicel
WARRINGTON, Sept 13.-Despite
the assurances received yesterday from
the Japanese foreign minister, the
state department. is awaiting further
adTjces from the American diplomats
81 TOXIC and Pekin before arriving at
a conclusion as to whether Japan's de-
mands on China infringe on the SOY
ereignty of that country and upon
American rights there.
The progress of the negotiations
between Japan and China over the de-
mands will be carefully watched, Off.
Gals said today.
The former vagueness regarding the
demand that Japan be given police
rights in south Manchuria and eastern
Mongolia has been favorably cleared
up by the statement of the japanese
foreign office, it was said. The de
mand being only that japanese police
be stationed in towns where there are
large japanese settlements. the feal
of dominant Japanese control of that
territory has been removed.
