Makes Promises Good.
Making good on his campaign
promises, President-elect Harding is
today working on a list of representa-
tive women and prominent Democrats
he intends to call to- Marion to address
him on the League of Nations ques-
ton.
Among Democrats it is certain that
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of Ne
braska, who was President WILSON'S
spokesman in the senate thruout the
treaty fight, will be summoned. Among
others will be Senator Shields, Ten
nessee. who altho a Democrat. was
among the irreconcilable treaty oppo-
nents.
Senator Harding has not divulged
the names of any women he intends
to call, but it is likely that Mrs. Ray
n1ond Robins, Chicago, and Mrs. Har-
riet Taylor Upton. Ohio, will be on
the list.
The immediate circle around Hard
ing headquarters is buzzing with gos-
sin as to the next cabinet. Senator
Harding, however, is keeping his own
counsel for the present and reiterated
TODAY that no tenders have been made.
It is probable that the more inn
portant places will have been filled
early in January, in order to give the
appofutees who face difficult prob
lens time to familiarize themselves
with conditions before they take office.

NEED NO LOANS
Secretary Houston Says Farm
ers Made Big Profit.
Piled Up Huge Trade Balance
on War Prices.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Farmers, now
demanding emergency legislation as
protection against falling prices, raised
crops during the last two years which
brought more than $7,0o0,o00, 600
when sold for export, according to Gn
analysis of foreign Geas BY Secretary
Houston
Farmers are bringing presslas1 60
bear on congress to revive the war
finance corporation to lend them
money to export wheat, grain, cotton,
group wants a high tariff on wool.
Houston has opposed the demands
and some government officials say that
to grant them would increase food and
clothing prices.
According to Houston, more than SO
per cent of the United States foreign
commerce now consists of agricultural
products. During 1918 and 1919 this
commerce piled up a trade balance in
favor of the United States of nearly
$1,000, 900. 900.
Foreign nations now owe the bust
ness men of the United States more
than $500, 900, according to
Houston, in addition to nearly s10,-
000, 100000 which their governments
owe the government of the United
States.
Houstons indicated conclusion
therefore is that farmers now are
sharing, to a greater extent than any
other class of business men, in the
greatest, foreign trade in United States
history.
Southern farmers, insistent on urg-
ing government assistance to protect
them from selling cotton at 20 cents
per pound instead Of 40, as of a few
months ago, were particularly noticed
by Houston. The value of manufac-
tured cotton exported from the United
States was 81, .00o,o 900 during 1919,
he pointed out. During the same
period, exports of breadstuffs were
valued at $1,000. 000.000: meat and
dairy products, $1,000, 100000 and to-
bacco, $3.50, 100000.

TO PAY Nine PER CENT
Industrial Court Approves Bond Issue
of Empire Electric Company.

Industrial Court Approves Bond Issue
of Empire Electric Company.
Under a bond issue approved by
the court of industrial relations, pay
ment of per cent interest rates by
public service corporations was ap-
owed. The court has granted the is
suance of $1,725. 900 worth of first
lien and general mortgage bonds by
the Empire District Electric company
"a Doherty subsidiary.
The general bond issue carries an
interest rate of per cent, but under
authority of the industrial court may
be marketed at SO. This means the
company pays practically 9 per cent
for the money. The issue is to be
taken by a Boston brokerage COM
pany. Funds secured under the issue
are to be used in retirement of COM
pany Indebtedness. Some of these
obligations were contracted three
years ago.
The Empire District Electric COM
pany operates in southeastern Kan
sas 1t furnishes electric power to
many large corporations. utilities and
cities in Kansas and Missouri.

HAMON NOT CAUSE
Oklahoma COngresswoman De-
MES He Led Party.
Comes Out Opposed to Wife
Being on National Committee.

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Jake
L. Hamon will not be chosen Repub-
lican national committeewoman from
Oklahoma to succeed her late hus-
band, in the belief of Miss Alice M.
Robertson, congresswoman-elec from
the Second Oklahoma district today.
Ed. Dyche. treasurer of the Repub-
lican state central committee, recent
ly launched movement to support
the widow for the place.
THE lesson of death must come to
those to whom life is stilf given
said Miss Robertson.
''It was a great surprise to me to
find that Republicans of the state of
Oklahoma have been called upon to
erect a monument to the late national
committeeman by the election of his
wife to the vacancy caused by the
sordid tragedy of his death.
THE Republican women of Okla
homa cannot afford to indulge in an
impractical, = sentimental attitude to-
ward one woman, when that attitude
is fraught with such danger to women
in general.
1.-THE party organization in their de-
liberations and elections of a commit
teeman will not in my judgment be
embarrassed by appeals from women
voters
That Hamon was not the main cog
in placing Oklahoma in the G. o. p.
column in the last election was the
declaration of Miss Robertson.
THE great 1eveler death, is also a
great truth revealer, and the claim
that the dead chieftain was the man
whose genius placed their state in the
Republican column is not true, his
part having been far less than that of
many others and the party in Okla
homa having, after all, won in spite of
rather than thru his work." she as
serted.
1T was a shock to me to find this
out after I attended the obsequies at
Ardmore. I knew that he had never
spoken to me after I announced my
candidacy, studiously avoiding me on
various occasions when we were seated
upon the same platform even, but I
credited that rather to a certain
magnanimity, for was one who had
opposed him all the way thru. Not
until the late summer had I believed
that he really desired to see the Re-
publican party win in the state, for to
him and his personal following, the
gain of the party was loss of power
and he loved power"

WILL HURRY PEACE
Insurgents in Senate Want
Resolution Up Now.
Senator Knox Has Refused to
Disobey Floor Leader.

Washington. Dec. S.-Refusal of
Senator Lodge. Republican leader of
the senate, to sanction introduction
and passage of the Knox peace reso-
luton at this session of congress has
started an insurgent movement which
may result in presentation of the
measure in spite of Lodges disap-
prevail.
Senators who deem immediate re-
turn to a peace status imperative are
exerting pressure on Senator Knox to
permit one of them to introduce his
resolution, which declares the state of
Germany at an end. Knox has thus
far declined because he does not wish
to run counter to his floor leader
wishes. He is strongly in favor of inn
mediate adoption of the resolution.
however.
Lodge informed the insurgents that
he does not intend to have anything
done with the measure this session.
They told him there are enough DEM
ocratic votes available to pass the res
olution over President Wilson'S veto,
but Lodge said his plan was to let the
whole thing go over until the special
session after Harding's inauguration.
The insistence of insurgents is based
on a desire to get war laws repealed.
They want to get rid of the espionag e
act particularly, and they want the
return of conditions that would allow
American business men to trade un-
hampered anywhere they can find Gus
toners with money to pay for goods.
Lodge was most interested today in
reports that President Wilson might
re-submit the Versailles treaty. Moth
ing will be done with it, Lodge made
clear If re-submitted, it will be re-
ferred to the foreign relations COM
