TRAVELLING men
WILL ORGANIZE
Local Branch of Harding
Coolidge League Will Be
Formed Today
RESENT ATTACK
BY GOVERNOR COX

At luncheon TO be held at the
Hotel dupont at i30 O'Clock this
afternoon a local branch OF the
Harding Coolidge Travelling Mems
League will be organized, as part OF
the national organization which is
rallying 10 the support Of the Repub-
lican national ticket.
This division Of organization OF the
Republican party is under the direc-
iion Of General r. Coleman dupont.
who is at the head OF the National
Harding-COOlidge Travelling Mems
League. Although this league was
launched less than a month ago more
than 100000 travelling statesmen have
enrolled, and the number is increasing
by hundreds each day. There are
more than 100000 travelling statesmen
IN the United States, and prior TO
1912 50 per cent Of them were Rcpuh-
licans, but II is believed that cvcn
more than that percentage will vote
the Republican ticket this year.
There are many incentives for the
travelling men Of the country 10 align
themselves with the Republican party.
In Quilting their reasons for opposing
a continuation Of the Democratic ad-
mlnistraiiOn. the Harding Coolidge
Travelling Mems League sets forth
That The administration has interrercd
unnecessarily with business through
the misuse Of the war powers which
were vested In the administration has
opposed, although the war mas been
over two years.
Second. inequalities Of taxation and
iniushces In decisions OF the Bureau
or Internal Revenue. which have es-
pecially adversely affected travelling
statesmen.
Third, the tactics OF the Federal
Trade Commission and the Depart
ment OF Justice toward various busi-
ness enterprises and industrial move
ments have created uncertainty in the
business world without correcting
any alleged unfair trade practices or
prosecuting any alleged violators OF
the law.
In contrast to Governor Cox's char
acterizatiOn Of the travelling statesmen
As public nuisances" and unmatigatcd
bOres," senator Harding, In a telc-
gram 10 the National Council OF
Travelling statesmen, characterized
them as national boosters. ambassa-
doris for more and soundC business,

can give. He further said Nobody

members and City Council last night
the situation was discussed.
At that meeting Or. g. NJ Handy,
president Of the Board OF Health,
COuncilmcn ForwOOd. Kane and
Mearns urged that no steps be taken
until definite word had been received
from the bonding company.
We can take steps Monday 10 be-
gin operation OF the plant n such
procedure is legal" Doctor Handy
said. Councilman Forwood. comment
ing on this statement, said when
you get a definite reply from the
bonding company we will be In posi-
tion TO 90 ahead "
Turning Ito DR.. Handy. Councilman
Mearns remarked You need have
no question as TO the attitude OF
Council; we viii back you at every
step"
Speaking OF the cost Of the opera
ton Of the plant II the city takes IL
over Councilman forwood, chairman
OF the finance committee gave the
following figures. Salaries will amount
DO SiS3S3 a week and coal, S62O; the
total cost OF operation. including
salaries, will amount TO approx
maiely S23. 400 a year and OF coal,
s252O0. This would be a total OF
$4,000.
While these figures are within a
few thousand dollars OF the amount
asked by the sanitary company the
city finance officials have not been
able 10 figure out what revenues
would be derived from the operation
Of the plant. A rough estimate places
such income at approximately one
half Of the net expense OF operation.
President Lyon read a letter at the
meeting from Judge Daniel d. Hast
lings. in which the Judge explained that
he had noted that his name had been
connected with the aiialr and stated
that as city solicitor In 1915 he had
merely passed on the legality OF the
contract between the city and the
sanitary company. Mr.. Hastings Of
fered TO appear before Council at any
time and expressed his willingness TO
answer any questions that might be
raised.
Or. Handy pointed out the danger
OF a fire at the plant due 10 the ac-
cumulation Of garbage and its dry
ing. through non-disposal. Approval
was given 20 the employment OF a
night watchman by the board n such
Step were deemed advisable. n the
city fakes the plant over The Board OF
Health will take steps 10 fully man IL
on Monday.
II developed at the meeting that the
plant Of the sanitary company has
