WAYNE REPUBLICANS
OUTLINE CAMPAIGN
ISSUES IN COUNTY

| The following statement was issued
Wednesday by the Wayne county Re-
publican Central committee: The Re
publican organization of Wayne coun
ty, cooperating as a unit, has conduct
ed it's campaign upon governmental
| issues and governmental issues alone.
1t has endeavored to bring to the
| attention of the intelligent people of
| the community, those things which the
Republican party believe are the true
| issues of the hour, and that, as always
! the Republican party believes in the
constitution and constitutional form
| of government.
In the preamble of the constitution
we find these words as one of the
reasons for our naturalization: "To
secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity," and that
has ever been the keynote of Republi-
canism.
In it's fullest sense this liberty
| means freedom of speech, freedom OF
! the press, security of personal rights
and following the dictates of ones con-
science in the matter of religious
faith.
Believing in that document as we do
the Republican party makes no appeal
| to any particular religious group.
AIIege Petty Politics.
There has been circulated in this
! community within the past few days
a pamphlet containing derogatory
statements against a certain church
By strange coincidence these
pamphlets have been mailed to Re-
publican members of that church with
an anonymous appeal to vote the Re-
! publican ticket, knowing full well that
the inference will be on the part of
any one receiving such pamphlet
| that it has been sent to him by mis-
take with the hope that this will turn
| him from his chosen party.
This is petty and dirty politics.
AS the attacks in this pamphlet
might be attributed by the unwary to
the Republican party, we deny that
this is Republican propaganda, and we
challenge proof on the part of any one,
either by AN array of logic or facts,
showing that these pamphlets have
| been issued through the instrument
ality, with the consent or by the con.
nivance of the Republican party.
| Outline Greed
! The Republican party does not fight
under cover, but appeals with real is.
sues to the best judgment of all the
people; neither does it have to appeal
to Republicans to vote the Republican
ticket and, it never will have to ap.
peal to any one in terms of affront
to his religious creed or doctrine.
We are on the eve of a great Re.
publican victory. We are not dis.
turbed by the chaff and dust of the
opposition. Our campaign has-heen
| clean and will remain so. We will GO
steadily on through the final hours,
and with the sinking of the sun on
election day. will sink the last vestige
of that rapidly waning hope of the
Democratic party.

M,SWINEY,S RELATIVES
PERFECTINC DETAILS
FOR BURIAL SERVICES
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. Oct. 27-Relatives of
Terence MacSwiney, the late Lord
Mayor Of Cork who died in Brixton
prison, Monday morning following a
hunger strike were today perfecting
arrangements for the funeral Of the
Lord Mayor. 1t was expected the body
would be turned over to them by gov
ernment authorities following the au-
topsy, and plans already announced
contemplate its removal to ST. Georges
cathedral. 1t will probably remain
there until Thursday. when a requiem
mass will be celebrated, after which
the funeral procession will start for
Fusion station.
The route to be followed by the cor
tege will be along Lambeth road TO
Rlackfriars bridge, according to pres
ent arrangements. 1t will then turn to
the left and proceed to Norfolk street
and thence by way of Aldwych, Kings
way, Southampton row and Euston
road it will go to the station. 1t is ex-
pected to reach there at about four
o'clock. when the procession will line
up and be dismissed. The body will
probably reach Dublin early on Friday
organizations.
CORK. Oct. 27.-Outside of the
Cork city hall there was posted to-
day the following notice: THE sec
ond Republican Lord Mayor of Cork
lies, as lay his predecessor, murdered
by the British government. Cork is in
mourning. Citizens. or any section of
them. will take only authorized action
Orders will be issued by proper au-
thority"
Today passed quietly with the ex-
ception of a slight stir caused by mill
tary raids on banks in search of fire
arms placed in vaults for safe keeping
Soldiers not on duty were restricted
to their barracks.
The body of Joseph Murphy. one of
the hunger strikers in Cork Jail. who
died last night, was removed tonight
to a church from which the funeral
will be held tomorrow. With the ex-
ception of Kenny and Donovan, who
are believed to be rapidly nearing
death, doctors say there is still a
chance to save the lives of the remain
ing hunger strikers if they are re-
leased.
LONDON, Oct 27.-A jury OF ten
men, after twelve minutes d6iberation
this morning. returned an open verdict
at the inquest over the body OF Lord
Mayor MacSwiney of Cork. who died
in Brixton prison early Monday from
the results of his seventy-three-day
hunger strike The verdict was that
the deceased had died from heart fail
ure. due to a SLATED heart, and acute
delirium following scurvy. which was
due to exhaustion from prolonged re-
fusal to take food.
The widowed lady mayoress. dress
ed in black and heavily yelled, was
the only witness on behalf of the Mac
Swiney family, and was the dominant
figure of the proceedings. Her COM
posure was indicated by her quick
and pointed replies. Mrs. MacSwiney
successfully resisted the continued at
tempts of the coroner to have her
characterize her late husbands occu-
patton otherwise than as "a volunteer
officer of the Irish republican army"

We know that Washington is just at the threshold of build

UNIFORM STANDARD FOR

: of Simplifying Building
Problems.

At the second annual convention OF
the Common Brick Manufacturers
Association OF America, held In CO.
lumbus recently: paper was read by
William Carver, assistant secretary 0f
the association. on the standardizing
Of the size OF brick. Mr.. Carver SAID
In part:
Taking up in detail the advsn-
ages 10 the architect, the engineer
and the contractor In, having uni
torn, standard size, 1t is now recos-
nIzed that in most localities common

things as window and door openings
and pier and plaster sizes until he
knows the size II the brick which
will be supplied TO the project. This
means much lost time and motion,
and IL 1t is decided to change over to
another brick a great deal OF money
is lost in changing dimensions all
over the drawings.
"A bricklayer cannot work so fast
when the bricks, are of different
sizes, and any factor which tends to
increase the cost should be eliminated
as far as possible. In a letter, one OF
the engineers of ,the department Of
public works OF Philadelphia said re-
Gently:
when a contractor is figuring a
building he should be able TO know
beforehand just how many tricks go
into a wall. Upon this depends also
the amount OF bricklayers time re-
quired to lay the brick and the amount
OF material in the mortar.
There is, I believe, great value In
having one standard for all bricks.
whether face or common. During the
war the Government showed us the
great waste in having different stand
ards for similar materials. One OF the
first steps It took to put Industry on
more efficient basis consisted in
eliminating many standards which up
to that time had been considered es-
sentisl. And apart from the question
OF strict utility there will be a great
advantage in letting the building
trades know that from now on every
brick of every kind will be OF the
same uniform, dimension.
d when speaking of the standard
size I refer to the size 3%x2kxs.
There are several reasons why this
size should be adopted. Figuring
with a joint of. one-half inch, two
headers plus Joint just equal the
length OF a stretcher. This makes 1t
possible to use almost any boad or
pattern desired on the face of the wall
without difficulty"
The convention adopted this size
brick as a standard.
