HAYS ASKS TENN.
G.. o. p. TO RATIFY

Marion, o., Aug. 11.-(By A. P.)--
Immediate ratification of the woman
suffrage amendment in order to clear
the political atmosphere and contribute
TO national stability was urged by Will
II. Hays, the Republican national chair
man, in telegram sent to several Re
publican members of the Tennessee
Legislature.
The message was framed after con
sultation with Senator Harding, the
party's nominee for the presidency, and
was sent from here shortly before Mr..
Hays's departure early today for Chi
cago.
my deep interest in the ratification
of the suffrage amendment, the mes
sage said, induces me To presume to
communicate again to you the resolu-
tions passed by the national committee
in February, 1918: January. 1919; De-
cember. 1919. and by the executive
committee in Columbus, o., last month
all most earnestly urging the Republi-
can Legislatures to ratify.
Present unrest Is in large measure
due to the fact that so many vital ques-
tions are clamoring for simultaneous de-
cision Any one of those questions,
definitely settled, is a big contribution
toward national stability. The suffrage
question is one that can be settled i'm =
mediately by the Tennessee Legislature.
1t is really not a party question. Its
pendency merely makes it more difficult
for the public mind to focus upon the
issues of the presidential campaign.

from the necessity of claiming her con =
stitutional rights and her sister from

CAMPAIGN TO SPEED UP
BY the Associated Press

Marion, o., Aug. 11.--Senator Hard
ing worked today on the next of bis
front porch speeches, to be delivered
here Friday at n meeting of the Ohio
Republican Editorial Association. He
did not reveal what the subject matter
would be, but some of his advisers ex
pect 1t to touch on the League Of Ma
tious issue. He has indicated that q
reply to Governor Cox's declarations on
that subject would be included in ad
dresses to be made here in the near
future.
The front porch campaign which Ma
tional Chairman Will II. Hayes an
nounced here last night would not be
replaced by any speaking trips in the
immediate future, is expected to get into
high speed within the next month as
the number of the visiting delegations
increase.
Mr.. Hays said that so far the ma .
tional committee had taken no steps to
aid in bringing delegations here as was
done in the Mckinley front porch cam .
pagn of 1896.

Warn Mariners of Wreck

The following warning to mariners

due, United States army engineer in
charge of harbor work here: "a barge,
said to be owned ana operated by w.
II. Armstrong & Bro. and loaded with
300 tons of gravel, broke in two and
sank in Philadelphia harbor ut about
2:30 p. m. August o, 1920. The wreck
lies off the plant Of the Welsbach Co.
and is approximately 500 feet from the
Camden pierhead line and about 1000
feet below the lower limits of the New
York shipyard. There is no mark over
the wreck. but one will be put in place
today. There is thirty five feet of
water alongside the wreck and nine.
teen feet over it ut mean low water"

the fancied necessity of opposing the
claim, we will liberate a body of public
opinion upon the campaign and its issues
which will prove itself TO be one of our
greatest national assets. Democracy in
the United States is really nothing but
a sham unless election day gives all
Americans the chance to express their
political opinion effectively.
ITO hold American women bound by
the result of an election, TO train them
in schools and colleges to think for them
selves as well as a man, to accord them
freedom of utterance as a constitutional
right. and then to attempt to deny them
the opportunity to stand up and be
counted on election day is a COVER
mental blunder of the first magnitude.
Both parties recognize that the ef.
fects of the approaching presidential
election will influence our national life
for at least fifty years. There never
was an election at which it was more
important for opinion and sentiment to
express themselves. The action of Con =
gress and of thirty FIVE Legislatures has
given to millions of American women
the right to hope confidently for this
great opportunity. Deny them the op-
portunity merely because the necessary
governmental machinery does not func-
tion, and you produce the unhealthy
national situation which always exists
when masses of citizens have burning
convictions to express and no effective
outlet for their expressions.
II refrain from advancing the usual
argument in behalf of suffrage. | leave
entirely out of consideration the partisan
advantage or disadvantage which rati-
fcation might entail. urge ratification.
first in the hope of thereby clearing the
political atmosphere; second, in the be-
lief that the suppression of effective
opinion works harm to the whole body
polite. and finally, in the conviction
that we owe immediate action as a
measure of simple justice to American
women. trust you will help in this. -
