HARDING WOULD

Tells Californians Nation
Must Stand Behind Them
In immigration
SENATE OLIGARCHY
ELECTED BY PEOPLE
Democrats Want "Autocratic Personal
Government He Declares-Protec-
tive Tariff Should Be Levied to Pro-
tect American Farmers.

MARION, o., Sept. Ito dele
CATION of Californians Senator Harding
declared today that the nation must
stand behind" the states of the Pa
cific coast to relieve them of the diff
culties of Oriental immigration and
must see that only such aliens as can
be assinilated and imbued with Amer
icanism are admitted The dangers Of
racial conflict, he said, must be reeog-
nized and provision made to reduce
them to minimum. He suggested that
such steps could be taken without of
fensive reflection on any race and with
out raising the question of racial in'
feriority or inequality.
The senator suggested the necessity
of protective tariff levied to aid
American farmers and replied at
length to Democratic charges of a Re
publican senate oligarehy. He re-
minded the voters that senator's were
elected by popular vote and declared
the Democratic leaders were opposing
senate influence because they wanted
to perpetuate autoeratic personal
government. -
Referring to the japanese question
Senator Harding said:
- In spite of the honor of a people,
and the great measure of contribution
they make to the world 5 advancement,
it is conceivable that they may be so
different in racial characteristics or in
manner of life or practice from an
other people of equal honor and
achievement, that no matter whether
it be on the soil of one or upon the
soil of the other. these differences, with
out raising any question of inferiority,
superiority or inequality. may create,
as | believe they have created upon our
Pacific coast, without blame to either
side, friction that must be recognized.
The nation owes it to the Pacific coast
, to recognize that fact. The nation
owes it to the Pacific coast to stand be-
hind them, in necessary measures con-
sistent with our national honor, to re-
lieve them of their difficulties. To me
it appears that in this task the Jap
anese people and the government of
Japan, have an interest equal to our
own. If the growth of a prospecting
japanese population of our Pacific coast
| states is to increase at a rate which
| disturbs and alarms native popula-
| ton because of racial differences, the
| condition is not one of theory nor pref
udice, but one of fact. To me it ap-
| pears that a situation which might pre-
| cipitate violence, even the violence of
a few irresponsible men, whether they
be japanese or Americans, is a situa-
ton which threatens grave interna-

GIBSON SPEAKS ON
CONGRESSIONAL RACE
Emery of Newport, Babbitt of Bellows
Falls. and Hartness of Springfield
Speak in Order Named, Followed by
Local Candidate, ~ r


From 500 to l,o00 voters, about equally
divided between men and women, assem-
bled in the Auditorium last evening to
hear three of the Republican candidates
for governor and the local congressional
candidate state their views on various
issues which have entered into the state
political campaign of 1920. 1t was the
most largely attended political rally in
state campaign in Brattleboro in many
years, and the audience not only was
enlightened, but was enlivened by numer-
Gus eriticll verbal thrusts which some of
the candidates made at each other, The
speakers. were all good -natured, however.
but appeared somewhat tired after
long, hard season of campaigning.
Mrs. Fremont Hamilton, president of
the local Woman Suffrage association,
presided, and expressed her qualification
that so many women had qualified, and
stated that they were no longer subjects
of the nation, but sovereigns; that the
winning of the vote had been costly and
should be priced. In urging the women
to join the political party of their choice
she also asked the men to take into their
parties the women's point of view
'As women voters" she said, "let us take
our place in the ranks and give of the
very best we have to our state and ma.
tion."
As the first speaker, Mrs, Hamilton
introduced Curtis S. Emery of Newport,
who gave a good political speech. He
declared that his platform eentered
around the development and encourage
ment of the chief industry of this state
agriculture. If we encourage and de-
velop agriculture in Vermont, he said
most of the things we stand for will
come, but he added that he was not op.
posed to industry. He then took the
other gubernatorial candidates to task
for not saying where they stood on GER.
tain issues. At point when Mr.. Emery
was eriticizing Frederick H. Babbitt of
Bellows Falls most strongly, and re.
marked that Mr.. Babbitt was not pres.
ent, the latter came to the platform
from the wings of the stage and re,
ceived hearty applause.
Attorney NJ. p. Maurice introduced
the next speaker, Mr.. Babbitt, who said
he had not thought it necessary to repu-
date some of the statements which had
been made on the platforms and In some

Until Late This Evening.
The Reformer has made its usual
thorough and painstaking arrange
ments for gathering and tabulating
returns from today's state primary
election. In addition to detailed fig-
ures from every town in the county
it will receive state returns over a
special Associated Press wire.
The Reformer will be glad to give
its readers election news as fast as
it is received, but it asks them to
bear in mind that the polls do not
close until o'clock this evening and
that on account of the number of
candidates the work of counting will
take longer than usual. Therefore it
asks every interested person to re-
frain from calling before p. m. at
the earliest.
Don't call up before p. m. be-
cause before that hour few if any
figures will be available, and all Re-
former circuits are likely to be in use
in gathering returns.

Made by Capt. Gibson.

In order to prevent an erroneous inn
preston getting abroad, George l.. Dun
ham, president of the Brattleboro Me-
mortal hospital organization since its

night by Capt Ernest w. Gibson, which
was to the effect that the local hospitals
were having trouble about getting alco-
hol for hospital use.
Mr.. Dunham, who has bought all the
alcohol for the Memorial hospital, says
that institution has never been and is
not now without sufficient alcohol and
all other kinds Of liquors which are used
in. the hospital to meet its needs and
that he has had no difficulty in getting
permits for supplying the hospitals
needs in that line.

After a spell of rain the weather to-
day came off dry" but whether that fact
augurs for dry" result of today's pri-
mary election can best be told after the
ballots are counted tonight.
The election opened in the town hall
at noon, the boxes being declared open
by Constable Chauncey l. Knapp for the
reception of ballots.
About 30 persons were waiting to vote
when the polls were opened, and up to
/ o'clock the ballot clerks had been kept
busy. about $50 voters having passed
through the gates. That the vote would
be record breaker in size, due to woman
suffrage, was apparent at the start.
Checkers outside the gates are keeping
list of names of those who vote, for the
purpose of those who viii undertake to
see that as many voters as possible are
gotten to the polls, and their slips indi-
cate that about one third of those who
voted up to l o'clock were women.
