z FEATURE DAYS
Republicans of Two States
Have Big Attraction.
Senator Harding ON Swing
Thru Missouri and Kansas.
EVERY MOVE IS WATCHED
May Mean Thousands of Votes
in SunfIOwer State.
Nominee VIII Be Met in Kansas
City Tonight.
EVERY MOVE IS WATCHED
BY A. L. sHULTz.


Today and Saturday are feature
days of the campaign for Republicans
of two states. Senator Warren G.
Harding is on his swing thru Missouri
and Kansas on the trail of Governor
James NJ. Cox. Wise men in politics
are today watching the Harding swing
with expectancy. 1t may mean the
final decision in Missouri and thou
sands Of votes in Kansas.
In Kansas City Tonight.
When Senator Harding reaches
Kansas City tonight he will be met by
one of the biggest crowds of voters that
ever sought admitt&nce to convention
hall Several thousand Kansans are
expected to hear the Harding speeches
in st. Joseph this afternoon and Kan
sas City tonight. Saturday enormous
Kansas crowds are expected at Wichita
and Arkansas City.
Senator Harding's two days in the
midwest carries him to four of the
cities in which important Cox meet
ings were held last week-St. Joseph.
Kansas City. Wichita and Oklahoma
City. The Republican nominee speaks
in Oklahoma City Saturday night.
The apparent swing to a greatly in
creased Republican vote in Oklahoma
even possibilities of Republican vic
tory in the state-makes the Okla
homa City meeting of Importance
equal to speeches in Kansas and Mis-
souri,.
Much Speculation.
Just the extent to which Senator
Harding will go in replying to the Cox
attack on the Republican presidential
nominee is a matter of speculation.
StenoGraphic reports CT the Cox
speeches in several of the cities to be
visited by Harding are known to be in
possession of the Republican national
committee.
Yet it is not known whether Hard
ing will personally tackle the job of
mailing the Cox charges, 1t is known
that a number of prominent Repub-
licans disapprove the plan. They be-
lieve that Indulgence in mud singing
fight cannot help the Republican
nominee who now seemingly holds all
manner Of advantages in Kansas and
is becoming most strongly entrenched
in Missouri.
Many Go to Kansas City.
Several thousand Kansans will seek
to hear the speech in Kansas City
tonight. All trains from eastern Kan
sas towns are expected to be crowded
today and the fight for seats tonight
will he a show in itself. Several spe-
cial trains will be run.
40 reservations were made in Kan

down when presented by H. H. Motter.
state chairman. 1t is known that
many more than that number of Kan
sans will try to hear the nominee. An
allotment would have denied many
persons admittance to the hall. Now
all will fight on equal footing.
Kansas Newspaper Men There.

nittee A few reservations on the

after. the Saturday night meeting in
Oklahoma City. H. H. Motter, state
chairman, will accompany the party
to Wichita for the Saturday morning
speech. Governor Allen will introduce
the candidate in Wichita.
Both Parties Take Interest.
Effects of the Missouri and Kansas
meetings will be watched with genu-
inc interest by national political lead
ers of both parties. The fact that Sen
ator Harding is covering much of the
territory included in Governor Cox's
recent trip has given added interest
to the speeches today and Saturday.

SUGAR CO.. CUTS
EMPLOYEES WAGES
Reduction of 10 Per Cent-Employes of
Other Concerns Accept Wage
Reductions.

NEW YORK, Dec. lot was learned
yesterday that the American Sugar Rein
ing company mas reduced wages generally
and that the reduction was effective hast
Monday. The only information obtain
able at the offices of the company was the
following statement, which was made in
muitigraph form :iAsl Hs1. p
Announcement wa made by the Anleri-
can Sugar Refining company of a read
iustment in wages effective Dec. g., 1920,
in its northern refineries, equivalent to a
reduction of about 10 per cent in theybasie
hourly rate for common labor.
1T was stated that since 1916 the COM
pany had made II separate wage adj
vances, until the basic hourly rate almost
reached three times what it was in 1916.
The 10 per cent reduction applies imme-
diately to about $500 employees, being
about 0ne-third of the normal working
forces of its northern refineries now being
carried on the p~ayr0lls during a temporary
shutdown period"
Questioned as to the cause of the shut
down and the probable time of starting
up again, one of the officials said
The refineries shut down last Novem-
Der owing to lack of demand from the
trade. We have ample stocks on hand
and are prepared to make deliveries of all
grades of refined sugar.
when the demand starts up so that
we can remove sugar already made so
that we can have room for some more,
we'll start up again"

a letter from Herbert Hoover was read
to the convention fOutlining what Mr..
Hoover characterized as the ,'major needs
of American agriculture" His sugges-
tiOns included:
Peace with Europe and participation
'Of the United States in preserving speace,
that the economic life there may revive
n restore a demand for our surplus.
Erection of international credit ma
chinery by which we can enable Europe to
buy. @ Il @-
AN abolition of consolidated buying
and this control of our farm prices by
European governments"
These recommendations Mr.. Hoover
classed as emergency measures. As per-
mament policies he suggested:
Better marketing system that all i'm
pediments to the free flow Of the law of
supply and demand may be removed.
Better transportation system.
Better adjustment of taxation so that
the burden may be better shifted to non
essential expenditure.
Development of a farm loan system in
remedy of the tenan problem.
Sane development of cooperative buy
ing and selling among farmers"
