says that before he entered into this
partnership with Laying he looked into
the social and financial standing Of
the defendant and was satisfied with
what he learned Of his prospective
partner.
The plaintiff says he learned about
Layng's father'in-law having been "a
partner of j. P. Morgan and also that
one brother-in-law Of the defendant
had been e-presdent of the South
crn Railway Company and another sec
rotary Of the New York Stock Exchange
and chairman Of the board of the
American Locomotive Company
t1yng's father was formerly vice-presi-
dent Of the Lincoln National Bank
and the defendant himself was vice
president of the Illinois Zinc Com
pany.
Sanders now alleges that Laying. who
was vice president of the firm of
Laying, Sanders & Co., wrongfully APP
propriated funds Of the firm, depositing
checks to his own account that be-
longed to the copartnership and not
keeping the books posted up, so as to
deceive his partner. The firm went into
liquidation in 1919, through Layng's
handling Of the finances, Sanders al
leges. Sanders is suing for $19,342, the
amount he says he has been damaged
by the action o. the defendant.

Republicans Ready
To Lower Cost of

Harding Will Call Special
Congress Session When
Elected, Say Leaders of
Party in Conference Here.

Visitors on various political errands
came from all parts of the country to
Republican national headquarters yes
terday for conferences with Will II.
Hays, chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, or the heads Of other
campaign departments. Representative
G. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, called
on his way from Marion, Ohio, to
his home state. Representative Slemp
is member of the Republican
Congressional committee which has
the direction Of election activities in
behalf of candidates for the lower
house.
Representative Slemp, while in Ohio,
had a conference with DIR. Simeon D.
Tess, chairman Of the Congressional
committee.
There is no question but that the
drift in Ohio is toward Senator Hard
ing and the Republican ticket gencr-
ally" said Mr.. Slemp. OR. Tess thinks
we will gain four Republican Congress-
men in Ohio this year and lose none.
"In Virginia and in the South gener-
ally the tide is against the national
Administration. One Of the beneficial
effects OF the war to the Southern peo-
PIE is the development of independence
of thought and sentiment not hitherto
known in our political life. Just what
this will mean in the coming election
1T is impossible yet to foretell I'm
doubtedly there Will be a greatly in
creased Republican vote.

greatest possible contribution toward
reducing the high cost of living

through his announced plan of calling
Congress in extra session immediate
ly if he is elected. If a Republican
Congress is elected to support Senator
Harding, the extra session will do these
things:
First, revise and possibly entirely
repeal the excess profits tax. This Is
the chief cause for the high price OF
everything to-day. The manufactures
collects it, the wholesaler collects it.
the retailer collects it-with the result
that the ultimate consumer pays three
taxes instead Of one.
Second, Congress will Immediately
abolish the government tax on freight
and passenger traffic. The public will
promptly reap the benefit.
Third, Congress will Immediately
increase the tariff schedules and will
thereby not only decrease the tax bur
den now falling on this country by
about 5000, 1000, 900 but will protect in
dustries and American labor, which
need protection from low paid foreign
competition.
Fourth, Congress will materially
modify the income tax schedules and
bring about a very considerable reduc-
tion in them"

from West Virginia, and State Chair
