HARDING RESENTS
 4D|ST0RT|ON' OF
 PARTY'S ATTITUDE
Claims Credit for Republic ans of Giving Woman's Suffrage Even a Chance
 of Success
By Associated Pres,

Marion, O., July l4.--Senator Harding E statement tonight resented what he characterized as persistent misrepresen- tations'' of the republican party's atti tude towards woman suffrage. and said to his party belonged the credit for that reform ever having a chance of suc- cess,
 He deplored. however efforts to make political capital out of the situation, and said he hoped ratification would be ac- Icomplished before November, no matter whether a democratic or republican state was the thirty-sixth to approve the suf- frage amendment.
 Even if democratic state shall fin- ish the business. tine record will still show that twenty-nine reublican and seven democratic states made up the roll oe honor" Senator Harding said. That is good enough for us.''
 My patience is sorely. tested some times over the persistent misrepresenta- tions of the republican party. it's state governors and legislatures, in this mat ter of woman suffrage Whether it em- anates from mere mischiefmakers or from partisan desires. l cannot help re- serting it. We must insist on having fair treatment of the party, without whose persistent support the great reform WCuiO never nave Hdu cHdHce or Suc- cess
 "A republican Senate and republican House submitted the constitutional amendment for equal suffrage. A dem ocratic Senate had previously refused to submit it. Twenty-nipe republican and six democratic states have ratified it.
 REJECTED BY ONE
 Six democratic states have rejected he ratification resolution nd Louisiana. has just refused to give it consideration. One republican state-just one, Delaware-has rejected it. The first eight states to ratify were republican states.
 When in 1878 the republican Senate finally mustered the necessary majority to submit the amendment there were ,6 republican and only 20 democratic sen ators voting TOT 1t, but there were r democratic and only 8 republican sem ators voting against it.
 ..Whether in the Senate or House, in Congress or state legislatures the rec ord shows that the republicans have been the persistent and effective supporters of this measure. Tn such circumstances circumstances that are thoroughly fa- miliar to everybody-it is simply amaz- ing that democratic managers should new have the audacty to be assuming that they are the friends on whom the |canse must depend if it is to succeed.
 For myself and for the republican party. I earnestly desire that ratification may be accomplished in time to give the whole body of American women the bal. lot next November. I am wearied wieh efforts to make partisan Advantage ou, of this situation. l hope there win b< ratification. and l qo, not care fis

Those Who Could Remained at Home Of
In Offices and Talked Business.

THE stormy weather and particularly
the icy covered streets and pavcmcnt<
mkde the telephone operators life m
extremely busy one today. 1t was not
uncommon to wait five minutes for nm
operator to answer call, but this accord
ink to General Manager Bardo Of ths
Diamond State Telephone Company
w&s nothing more than what could be
expected under the conditions.
e.Every one, or at least those who
could, remained at home,o said MIR.
Birdo this afternoon "Thc women did
ndt go to market, they marketed over the
phone. Solicitors and these whose busi-
ndss ordinarily called upon them to visit
business men and women, remained in
snhg apartments or Offices and used the
telephone. As d consequence there was q
grtat jam Of business during the morning
with attendant delays. Not since the
powder explosion at Haeley has there
behn such a rush Of business as today.
Itkasn't I because we did not have operator
enPugh, simply an excess of calls. :"

FINDING EMPLO LOYMEHT
FOR MEN FROM ARM !
Positions Found for Thousands
But Number of Applications Seem,
Not to Diminish.

I1stest figures from the Eastern States
received by the Office of the assistant to
the Secretary of War, In charge of soldier
unemployment in Washington, show that
while thousands OF men are being put back
at work, the number of new applicants
for Jobs diminishes but little.
On January l there were 14,6S6 ey-
service men listed as unemployed during
the month previous, and I0,347 for whom
positions were found by the various sol
dier employment bureau. In the same
period reports from the entire country for
l75 cities aggregate 81, ,205 men applying
for work and 2S,S7S placed.
New York City shows falling off In
the number of men applying, but ap-
parently not so many jobs are open now.
The local bureau reports 1927 ex-service
men registering and S35 placed last week.
There are $50 ex-service men out OF
employment IN Schenectady, n. Y, who
really need help, and the situation is not
1T all encouraging
Most OF the large employers In VII
ming.on are laying off men, and con-
ditions are far from being good. Dover,
n. j., has cleaned up its soldier employ
ment problem, and TIE local examiner has
gone so Ear as to make trips into the coun
try 6- trict- to locate unemployed soldiers
and find work for them
Elizabeth and Patterson report good
conditions and few men out Oh work. In
Newark the War Departments special
representatives are going after the serious
cases al men entitled to vocational tram
ing and medical attention.
In Pennsylvania conditions are reported
as steadily improving. The State Depart
ment uf Labor and Industry is Co
operating with the War Department, with
the result that the large cities are handling
the great majority Of applications as fest
as they come in Philadelphia placed 229
