made today by Eugene F. Hartley.
chief statistician. of manufactures of
the census bureau.
Mr.. Hartley estimates that the num-
ber of manufacturing industries here
is now in excess of 500; that the
capitalization has more than doubled
over that of 1914. which was $40.-
$4,000 and that the output of the
manufacturing plants in the District
of Columbia has more than trebied
to-. keep pace with demand. At the
same time. he believes, wages paid
workers in industries iHs the District
have Increased more than 1oe per

with less than 525 Of them In the
District of Columbia. These indus

value was $4,000. 600, 900, and Mr

In 1914 there were 1888 persons en-

the output of Industries here as shown
by the manufacturing schedules now in
his hands, which will be finally tabu-
lated about the middle of August In
that year wages paid to employees OF

were $S.605,693. This figure has been

There were 54s.046 passengers car

by the census bureau. These figures
are an increase over those for 1913

centage ratio of transfer and free
dropped from 34.9 in 1912 to 31.S in
1917.

HARDING
. DUE BACK TONIGHT:
Republican Presidential Nom
inee Has Quiet and Unevent-
full Program Today.

RARITAN. N. J., June % (by the
Associated Press).-Refreshed and in
vigorated by his first period of re-
taxation in several months, Senator
Warren G. Harding, republican presi-
Dental nominee. had before him a
quiet and uneventful program today
at the country home of Senator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, where he
and Mrs. Harding are guests.
The only event planned for the day
was golf match this morning with
Senators Frelinghuysen. Hale of
Senators Hale and Kellogg accom-
panied the Harding party here from
Washington. The nominee expected
to spend the remainder of the day
quietly and to leave late this after
noon for Washington. arriving there
at midnight.
No definite engagements have been
made for the senator and he planned
to do no political work of any kind.
He spent Sunday in attending church
with Mrs. Harding and his hosts in
the forenoon, automobile riding in the
afternoon and resting quietly at the
Frelinghuysen home in the evening".
The brief vacation has done much
to relieve the fatigue and strain of
several months of legislative and pre-
convention work, and the nominee is
now prepared to take up the cam
paign with renewed energy.
The senator will have a busy time
in Washington until he leaves here
Saturday to go to Marion. Ohio, for
the Homecoming and Fourth of July
celebration. On Wednesday morning
he will have a conference with Gov.
Coolidge of Massachusetts,, the vice
presidential nominee.
A photographic record of a speech
on "Americanism" by Senator Hard
ing is to be made tomorrow. and it
may be that a record will be made
Wednesday: The Harding speech is
to be released through the republic
an national committee on July 4.
Some Of the senators from the west
are urging Senator Harding to make
a trip into that section of the country
during the campaign. SO that the peo-
pie of the west may see and hear
him. They believe that it. would
strengthen the republican ranks. But
that Senator Harding will abandon
his front porch campaign planned
for his home in Marion.
Some of the politicians here today
recalled the disastrous results which
followed upon the pilgrimage which
the last republican nominee for Pres
ident made into the Pacific coast
states. While they did not argue that
mistakes would be made by Senator
Harding on such a trip. they were
anxious to be shown what advantage
would be reaped before the trip was
undertaken.
Senator Harding plans to take his
entire Office force, consisting of about
twenty persons. with him to Marion.

Mr. Cummings speech, in full follows:
Ladies and gentlemen of the con-
vention:
At this high hour, when the des-
TIMES not only of political parties. but
of peoples are at stake, when social
unrest is everywhere apparent, when
existing forms of government are be-
ing challenged. and their very
foundations disturbed or swept away.
it is well for US. here in America. to
pause for a period of solemn delib-
Grafton.
We, who assemble in this great con-
vention. counsel together. not merely
as members of a party. but as chill
dren Of the republic. Love of country
and devotion to human service should
purge our hearts of all unworthy or
misleading motives. Let US ferventiy
pray for a Divine blessing upon all
that we do or undertake.. Let US
pledge ourselves anew to equality OF
opportunity. the unity OF our coun-
try above the interests of groups or
classes, and the maintenance OF the
high honor of America in her deal
ings with other nations.
which political instrumentality is
best suited to their purposes, most
responsive to their needs. They will
have before them many platforms
and many promises. In what direc-
ton will they turn? There Is NO
better way of judging the former
than by the past We ask. therefore.
that the people turn from the passions
and the prejudices Of the day to the
consideration of a record as clear a.
it is enduring.

TWO PROPOSITIONS
FOR D. c. SUFFRAGE
AT SAN FRANCISCO
Delegation Confirms Commit :
tee SIate-WilI Cast Its
First Vote for Palmer.
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-Early
as possible the District of Columbia
delegation at its organization meet
ing confirmed the slate of committee
assignments published in The Sunday
SYSTEMATICALLY. The delegation
was notified by Colpoys that he would
present to the resolutions committee,
on his own responsibility, the plank
on suffrage recommending the prin-
ciple of suffrage for the District. Mr..
Harper and John ]. Newman will
present the plank asking for a con-
stitutional amendment as provided in
the resolution signed by the several
civic bodies.
The delegation went on record as
favoring recognition of the right of
Ireland for self-determination, and
favoring. by a majority vote. a squint
toward light wines and beer. with
Mrs. Smell prophesying that the wom-
en- OF the country will vote en- masse ass
against such proposition. The
delegation also favored liberal treat
ment to the soldiers. The unit rule
was adopted to govern all votes.
First Vote Goes to Palmer.
The delegation will cast it's first
full vote for Palmer and later mem-
bers will be allowed on a poll to
give complimentary expressions to
Cox, Glass and McAdoo. Although
the majority will determine for the
whole delegation the actual vote to
be cast, the delegation instructed its
members on the resolutions commft-
tee to vote for Carter Glass for
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee of the convention. A motion
directing the District member on the
committee on credentials to vote
against the seating of Senator Reed
was modified by making it an ex-
preston of the sense of the commit
tee subject to the judgment of the
member upon hearing the evidence.
In the course of the talk National
Committeeman Costello said he had
been predisposed to Reed. but that
upon hearing the evidence before the
national committee he had concluded
Reed was not entitled to be seated.
Approves Lords Resolution.
When the wet and dry questions
came up the delegation was at first
disposed to wait until the committee
on resolutions should bring in the
plank and then poll the delegation
upon it. but informal talk developed
such strong sentiment for light wines
expressed it's approval of a plank
suggested by Frank B. Lord oppos-
ing the re-establishment of the
saloon, and demanding the rigid en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment to the Constitution as regards
all processes of distillation for bev-
erage purposes, but approving the

keynote speech By National Chair

inaries clearing the way for the real
work of finding presidential candi-
date.
Twelve O'Clock noon was fixed for the
opening. but hours before that time
ticket holders gathered in the spacious
building which. for the occasion. seats
more than Il. 900 persons. Those who
did not hold tickets were barred from
approaching the main entrance by
fences. hidden by a screen OF Cali
fornia evergreens.
Decorations of the convention hall
were ample and tasteful, with the
Stars and Stripes az the dominant
feature Of the beautiful display. The
seats of the 1892 delegates were
compactly assembled close to the
platform and stretched almost across
the width of the hall. Here and there
stood the state and territorial stand
ards, made of California redwood,
showing the locations of the delega-
tions. Directly behind were the seats
OF the alternates. and all about them.
in almost perfect circles, were placed
for more than 10000 other persons.
With the exception OF a patriotic
touch given at the start by the pre-
senting Of the colors by detachment
of marines. the opening preliminartes
were not unlike those of prior con-
yentions. The outstanding feature on
the program was the keynote speech.
