was registered. and, he said, he has
reason to believe 1t will be. Two

mitted to vote.

oils by local corporation.
Under Mr.. Woolling's plan the stock
in the Pelham Apartments company
will be owned in equal amounts by six
stockholders, there being six apart
ments in the building Each stock
holder will lease the apartment he is
to occupy from the company, thus
clearly defining his rights as we'll as
obligations. Each will also be a di-
rector in the corporation, consequent
ly each tenant will be his own lanc
lord.
The cooperative plan has proved
very popular in the larger cities where
it has been adopted on a large scale
during the past two years. 1t gives
former tenants all the advantages OF
home ownership, protection against
rent increases or being compelled to
move to other quarters and also
against any Objectionable neighbor
living in the apartment.
Mr Woolling is not only prominent
in real estate circles in indianapolis
but also in political. He is at present

HARDING SAYS
Republican Nominee Advo-
Gates Policy of ''One for All
and All for One in Speech
Today.
HE PLEADS FOR farmer
(By Associated Press)

WEST JEFFERSON, O., Oct. 2-Ad-
vocating an agricultural and industrial
policy to coordinate American re-
sources for the common good, Sena-
tor Harding declared in a speech at
a Republican rally near here today
that lone for all and all for one" must
be the motto Of individual effort il the
nation is to achieve its full pOten-
tialities.
Il want to see American life so knit
together" he said, "and every Ameri-
can so appreciative of the fact that
welfare. that we will go forward to
weave a great and humane pattern of
united Americanism."
Appeals for Farmer
Making a particular appeal for bet
terment of the condition of the farmer,
the nominee asserted that agricultural
production really was of greater in
terest to those who live in cities than
to the farmers themselves.
AS a part of the same community Of
interest, he said. transportation facili-
ties must be stabilized and a rehabili-
tated railroad system supplemented
by inland waterway development and
by commercial use of motor trucks to
carry freight.
Are United People.
1--WE are beginning to learn" he con-
tinued, that we are not only in name
and desire. united people, but that
we are so in fact, and point to the re-
lationship of our cities to our rural
population and of both to our Ameri-
can railways as an example of our in
terwovcn prosperity. 1t is impossible
to pull one of the threads of that
great fabric without starting the un-
ravelling Of the prosperity of ali Of
u.s.
The senator reiterated his belief
that farmers should be given the right
of cooperative marketing, should be
encouraged through the federal farm
loan system to own the farms they
live on, should be assured stable trans
portation facilities and a stable labor
supply, and should be given protection
against unfair competition from
abroad.
