CHEERS AND Kisses /
STIR BOSTON RALLY
Baker Charges Republicans
Have Adopted German Ex-
ChancelIor's League Views.

BOSTON. October 9 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) A pro-league rally at
Symphony Hall last night developed into
political campaign. The audience, made
up about evenly of men and women,
that filled the great auditorium. shouted
its approval at every reference to the
league of nations, but occasionally split
on party lines. The names of Roose-
welt, Parker. Taft and President Will
son evoked prolonged demonstrations, as
did also a mention of Senator Lodge.
A diSSenter reused a cheer for Harding
and Coolidge, but subsequent attempt
to start a second demonstration for the
republican candidate was drowned in a
storm of Kisses.
Dr. Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
titus of Harvard University. who acted
a. chairman, said that the pro-league in
dependents. made up of republicans.
democrats and independents. had been
organized for the purpose of putting into
the hands of every voter the means
of determining that the partisan objec-
tons commonly made against the league
of nations covenant by certain republi-
can and democratic leaders were with
out foundation.
Misreprexented, He Says.
"The group of senators who defeated
the league in the Senate and part of
the press have gravely misrepresented
the covenant" he said, land attributed
to it provisions that no candid and in
telligent minded man can find in it
Secretary Baker, interrupted by a
question as to what the league could
do for Ireland, replied:
THAT seems to me to be a domestic
question for Great Britain. l do not
see how anything could be done un-
der the league. But certainly moth
ing can be done outside the league.
while it is possible that within the
league the problem of Ireland would
receive consideration.
Mr. Baker charged the republican
party under Senator Lodges leader
shin with adopting it's position on the
league of nations from that of the
late Count Won Hertling. former inn
perial German chancellor, who in jan
uary. 1918, said:
THE German government is gladly
ready. when all other pending ques-
lions have been settled. to begin the
examination of a basis for bond or
league of nations
Declared mt Variance.
This hard. material and medieval
position is strangely at variance with
the enlightened idealism of America

this position we were to be idealistic.

Hitchcock of Nebraska. who was
President Wilson's spokesman in the
league of nations fight in the Senate

sue in this campaign.
1T means that if Gov. Cox is elected

league" said Senator Hitchcock. so
also the election of Senator Harding
would mean that we Will not enter the
league.
'In his Des Moines speech senator
Harding said the league was already
Scrapped. because the a~--.-istTation
had insisted on the ratification of the
peace treaty without the dotting of
an i or the crossing of T.. This
favorite and oft-repeated misrepre-
sentation of history has been again
and again corrected by Gov. Cox in
his speeches. The democratic senators

dent voted for five reservations which

ORDER SPEECHES
BY MILLIONS AS
BANS REMOVED
Party Leaders Flood Com
mittee on U. S. Printing as
Paper Eases Up."

Because the paper situation is "eas-
ing up the joint congressional com
mittee on printing has lifted the ban
on unlimited orders from the political
committees for speeches by members
tof Congress and other party leaders
from the government printing office.
Weeks ago. when the campaign was
first getting under way, the committee
found that because of the scanty
supply of paper obtainable for the
government printing office, at prices
which the committee was willing to
pay. the ordering of millions of
speeches for campaign purposes
would have to be alted.
Consequently, the committee, for
the first time in history. put a limit
on the number of speeches, part OF
the Congressional Record. ordered
by members of Congress at their own
expense. The limit was fixed at
and was lower or higher, according
to the number of pages.
Want Millions of Speeches.
When the ban was lifted the gov
eminent printing office was flooded
Immediately with orders for several
million speeches. These speeches are
printed for the members at cost Incl
dentally, it was said today that the
speeches were ordered for both the
democratic and republican parties.
The joint committee found that it
had enough paper on hand and
enough coming along in order to
take care of the speeches in quantity.
The paper situation, it was said to-
day, is decidedly better from the point
of view of the joint committee. All
of it's contracts expired September l..
Many had expired long before that
date. The committee directed the
public printer to go into the open
market and purchase paper and make
no new contracts, believing that in
this way money could be saved. The
committee estimates that during the
summer it has saved about 100000
by these tactics.
Now the committee is getting many
demands for proposals for paper. Up
to about a month ago the prices ask
led for newsprint rand around IL
and IA cents pound. Now it is offer
getting book paper around II and 10
cents a pound, which six weeks ago
was held at IA to % cents. Other
papers, it is said, show a softening of
prices.
German Paper Declined.
Not long ago a large quantity of
German paper was offered to the COM
mittee. But, owing to the fact that
the paper was made of all ground
wood. the committee could not use it.
The price at which it was offered,
however. compared very favorably
with the American prices, it was said.
The committee is of the opinion that
a good deal of German paper will be
available in the future.
The committee has ordered the pub
lie printer to continue to buy paper
in the open market till the end of the
present paper year. March ]. 1t has
also directed a committee of govern
ment experts to begin preparing esti-
mates for proposals for paper to be
sent to manufacturers in December.
These proposals will call for contracts
for the next paper year or part
| thereof.
