HAYS OUTLINES REPUB-
LICAN POLICIES.

Will II. Hayes, rChai man Of
| the Republican National Commit
tee, in letter to Republican State
| Chairman Edward G.. Stokes, of
New Jersey, in which he urges
that a tremendous effort be made
to elect Republican governor
this year, defines what he believes
to be the Republican attitude on
pressing questions. The letter
reads in part as follows:
"The Republican Party from its
inception has stood against Fed
eralization Of industries and activ-
tiles. There must be strong Fed
eral regulation but not Federal
ownership. We have always en-
devvOred and shall still endeavor,
to find the middle ground so we'll
defined between the anarchy of
unregulated individualism and the
deadening Journalism Of inefficient
and widespread State ownership.
We are against paternalism in
government, and we are against
that form Of pedagogic paternal-
ism that has developed recently in
this country. We are against au-
tocracy as vigorously and unal-
terably as we are against anarchy
Bolshevlsm and Kaiserism are
anggerous in industry as
IN government. We are against
both.'

Iuties-calnot fail to cause the
people Of the country to believe
the worst; for it is incomprehen-
Isible that these physicians should,
unless there is some substantial
basis for the report, fail to deny
it.
Il is Of course Of great impor-
lance that nothing be done which
will in any way interfere with the
restoration Of the President 5
health, but his present complete
isolation seems to afford ample
protection against the possibility
Of any published statements as to
his condition reaching him. Then
too the present tense situation, in
volving prolonged delay and
grave uncertainty as to matters Of
tremendous national and interna-
tional Importance, cannot long be
maintained without serious in
Jury to the best interests Of the
country. If the American people
ever needed the guiding hand of a
Chief Executive they certainly
need it now.

RETICENCE AS TO PRESI
DENT CONTINUES.

The following bulletin regard
ing the President s condition was
issued by his physicians: "The
President s condition remains the
same as for the past several days.
His temperature, with the excep-
ton Of one day, pulse and respira-
ton rate, heart action and blood
pressure are normal and have
been so since the ontset of his ILL.,
ness. His kidneys are functioning
normality."
Concern over the President s
condition not only continues but
has been intensified by the fact
that, while such detailed Informal
ton has been given regarding
other vital organs, no mention
whatever is made of the condition
Of the supremely important organ
to which the statement Of Senator
Moses referred and on the proper
functioning Of which depends so
absolutely the Presidents ability
to continue the performance of
the duties Of his office.
In other words, there is still
a complete failure either to affirm
or to deny the statement ascribed
to Senator Moses that the Presi-
dent has had a cerebral lesion
or some other serious injury which
lnterferes or is likely to interfere
with normal mental functionine.
This persistent failure Of tn,

body S mouth-whether or no

mentally ircapacitated for tn
proper performance Of his oficia

AN IMPERATIVE NECESSITY

:. AS The Commonwealth is hav-
ing a large run of advertising
and changes are made daily in
some Of the ads it has become
necessary to ask that all changes
be sent in the day before the in
sertion is needed. We ask this as
a favor, but we also reserve the
right to leave ads over until the
next day if they cannot be gotten
up in time for insertion.
