League of Women Citizens Meets

On June 8, 1920, following the in
vitation of Mrs. D.A. Davenport de-
livered at the last regular meeting of
the League of Women Citizens on
May 26, social meeting of the men,
bers of the league was held at Mrs.
Davenport's home. A delightful hour
was spent; followed by a short bust
ness session.
The advisability of broadening the
possibilities of the league meetings
was discussed. Owing to the fact
that suffrage is practically upon Us,
active work throughout the county
toward that end is being laid down.
Primaries are over. Lessons on vot-
ing preparatory to the November
election would better come nearer
that time. Consequently, in order to
hold the ladies together until that
time and in order to reach wider
field of activity, it was decided to re-
name the league the Women's Club
of New Hope. The Club still retains
it's connection with the Doylestown
Branch of the Women's League of
Citizens and will pay the quota agreed
of dues collected for that purpose, ex-
pecting as originally that speakers
shall be sent to the New Hope meet
ings in the fall prior to election. Thus
the League work will be continued.
To conduct the activities of the
Club during the summer, a motion
was carried that the officers of the
League be continued, the Chairman
to have power to appoint whatsoever
committees and officers pro TEN. she
deems advisable, an election for regu-
lar Club and bylaws to take place
in the fall.
The report of the Executive Com
mittee: There will be two meetings
of the Club each month, a social
meeting the first Wednesday in each
month and a regular meeting the
third Wednesday. The next regular
meeting will be on June Is, Wednes-
day evening at eight o'clock, at, the
Library Rooms, where Mr.. Franken-
field of the American Clay Products
Company of New Hope will be pres
ent to discuss their plans for the es-
Establishment of Model Village. Fol-
lowing will be the class for parliament
tary drill. The next social meeting
will be on Wednesday afternoon, July
7th at the home of Mrs. W., w. Cott-
man.

Sell Toll Houses

The sale, yesterday of two toll
houses on the old Whitehallville turn
pike, in Bucks county, brings to mind
the fact that local automobiles who
use that road to reach Montgomery
County points no longer have to pay
toll, the highway being freed few
weeks ago.
Local people often go to Doyles-
town, Chalfont and Amber, via this
road, and while the section from Chal-
font to Eureka has been pretty poor,
as a toll road, it is understood that
sufficient repairs will be speedily
made to put it in fairly good condi-
ton. The Amber end is one of the
finest pieces of highway in Pennsyl-
vania.
The York road is now in first class
condition as far, South as Warminsteri
but is rough in places between there
and Willow Grove. The state road
to Doylestown and Chalfont, how
ever, is now in good condition.

NEW YORK, July 12.-One mem
Der of the crew of the steel steam
ship Lake Frampton is reported miss
ing after a collision off Atlantic City,

would be late in making port. He
made no mention OF any casualties on
board. The bow of the Comus was
badly bent The Comus was to have
docked at 10 o'clock this morning.

due to thick fog OFF the coast.
The Lake Frampton is operated by
the West India Steamship Company

Labor Party Takes Lead in
Joining With New
Political Party.
SINGLE TAX MEN JOIN
Convention Speakers AssaiI
Older Parties for Their
Broken Promises.
BY GEORGE HOLMES,

CHICAGO, July ia third po-
litical party, combining a strong Ia.
Dor group with remnants Of the old
Progressive movement, was all pre-
pared for a launching in Chicago to-,
day. Unless the plans Of the lead
ers go awry at the last moment
lnightfall will see the new party tax
I ing shape.
The nucleus of the new movement
is found in the Committee of Forty
eight and the American Labor Party,
both of which are now in convention
here. In addition there are at least
half dozen other groups, of va
rious shades of political belief and
persuasion, that probably will be
drawn in.
FUSION PROPOSAL TODAY.
A series of over-Sunday confer
ences, one of which lasted into the
early hours of this morning, resulted
in an agreement being reached that
an out-and-out fusion proposition was
to be submitted today to each conven-
| tion. Ratification is expected by the
| leaders to be but a matter of form.
The name of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin is most fire.
quently heard about the conventions
as Presidential candidate. There is,
however, considerable doubt whether
the Wisconsin Senator will accept the
nomination IL 1t is offered him. SO
| far La Toilette has not definitely COM
,, mitted himself.
Advocates of the fusion idea de-
clared today that La Toilette would
! accept the nomination IL he were as
sured that 1t came from a real third
party" backed by all the progressive
| elements in politics. They said the
Senator would not be drawn into the
third party movement unless he had
! such assurance.
SINGLE-TAXERs AGAINST HIM.
No serious opposition so far has
appeared to the nomination of SEN
ator La Toilette except from the
Single-Taxers. The predominant
forces Of the situation, however. are
the Forty-Eighters and the Labor
Party, and La Toilette Is acceptable
to both of these.
The construction of the platform.
which has been more or less held
in abeyance until the fusion plans
were worked out. will be a really
progressive" document, according to
the leaders. 1t will be predominant
