Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson,
sister of former President Roose-

in the city auditorium in support OF
the republican national ticket.
Her appeal, OF course, is as much
for the men as for women, for she

fact that those who were nearest to

Would Be for Harding.
Colonel Roosevelt felt that the
republican party was the only one
of vision in the United States in the
last FIVE years. In 1916 he was be-
hind Justice Hughes for the presi-
dency. If he were here now, pro-
vided his health had been so bad
that he could not have been the

Theodore, feels the same as |. A.

Franklin Roosevelt. On his own
merit he might have won any nomi-

Il come to warn the west that
when any democrat addresses him
self to progressives he does not bear
the tongue, though he may bear the
name, Roosevelt.
Our Own Rights First.
"Progressiveness is vision and
preparedness for the future. We
must think of our affairs and put
our own house in order before we
can help Europe. Unless a nation
is able to run itself capably, it will
not be able to help others. Colonel
Roosevelt, in a speech at Lewiston,
Me, in 1918, put it in this way: Our
first duty is to protect our own
rights, the second to stand up for
the rights of others"

Wilson, after trying to keep us out

Fraud in
Liberty Bonds
Is Discovered
Secretary Of Treasury Dis
closes Fact That Millions Cir
culating in Duplicate Num-
bered Securities.
BY Universal Service.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The startl-
ing charge that many millions of
dollars in duplicate numbered Liberty
bonds are in circulation in the United
States was made public here today
IN letter sent TO Secretary of the
Treasury Houston by ]. w. Nc
Carter, who recently resigned as as
sistant registrar of the treasury.
Mr.. McCarter also alleges that
millions of dollars worth cf other
Liberty bonds which were paid off
bv the treasury but were never cam
celled are also again in circulation.
Many such bonds, he says, have been
stolen from the treasury.
If Mr.. McCarter's allegations are
true, then many bonds now held by
some of the 2l,000,000 Liberty bond
subscribers, have already been paid
eft by the government. 1t would
appear, however, that this stipend
Gus loss being due to the alleged
carclessness of the government will
fall upon the treasury and not upon
holders of the bonds.
In his letter Mr.. McCarter gives
a long list of bonds, with their
numbers and denominations. which
he declares were redeemed and
reached the paid securities vault for
obstruction just as they were orig
inally issued, without being can
cellcd or marked paid" in any
manner whatever. -.
An equally alarming situation is
said to exist with regard to large
certificates. In his letter Mr.. Nc
Carter asks for an explanation as to
why billions of dollars worth of such.
certificates payable to bearer not
cancelled and not bearing the mark
of paid or surrendered" but which
were ready for circulation, have been
permitted to pass through the hands
Of numerous unbonded officials and
clerks Of the Treasury department
until they reached the division of
paid securities for delivery to the
destruction committee.
"Why were not these securities
marked 'paid-surrendered' or in
some way cancelled, so that they
could not be again circulated before
they made this long round and
reached their final destination as
above stated?" asked Mr.. McCarter.
