operative League.
Several Divisions have had re-
cent experiences with a group of men
travelling in uniforms taking sub
scriptions for a magazine called va
riously, "Gold and Blue Stripes, -
Gold and Blue Stars" and the "Ex-
Service Mems Cooperative League. +"
1t is possible that more than one
group is travelling under the same
organization name. They have a
letter from the War Department
stating that they will not be molested
in their uniforms if they wear the
red chevron properly placed. They
are said to use this letter as supposed
authorization for their enterprise,
while it is simply quotation from
the law. We are informed that the
War Department does not look favor
ably on this organization on account
of the exploitation of the uniform to
arouse the sympathy of the public.
The Federal authorities, however,
are unable to stop their work as long
as the men keep within the letter of
the law. We are informed that
above organization is a purely COM
one, and not charitable
We are informed that any man
may be apprehended by the Federal

TENNESSEE FOR SUFFRAGE
SAYS MRS. GAIT
More Than Majority in Both Houses
Pledged for Ratification.

Nashville, Tenn, July 26.-Mor'
than a majority of both Tennessee,
Senate and House are pledged to tn,
ratification of the Federal suffrage
amendment, according to the an
nouncement of Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the National Won
an Suffrage Association.
THAT the National American
Woman Suffrage Association is able
thus early to announce the compile
tion of the poll is due to the splendid
efforts of our Tennessee members, .
said Mrs. Gait.
"At the beginning of the campaign
for the special session Mrs. John M.
Kenney, of Nashville, chairman of
the ratification committee of the
League of Women Voters, sent let
ters to all members of the Legisla-
ture asking them to pledge them
selves to vote for ratification. In ad-
dition to the responses to these let
tiers, pledges have been secured by
other advocates of ratification. Dem
ocratic women who desire their rep
resentatives to stand with Governor
Cox, and by Republican women who
are equally desirous of polling good
proportion of the Republican vote in
accordance with the favorable stand
of Senator Harding. Every district
and county chairman of the League
of Women Voters has assisted in Sc
curing pledges by letters and person
al deputations to the men,
Mrs. George Fort Milton, of Chat
tanooga, State president of the Ten
nessee League of Women Voters,
commenting on the poll, said: 1--WE
are rejoicing over the results of our
work so far, but we intend to con-
tinue Just as strenuously during the
two weeks intervening before the
special session, because we want the
vote of ratification to be as nearly
unanimous as possible"
Both Mrs. Gait and Mrs. Kenney
said that legislators known to be
to suffrage were still delay
ing pledging themselves because Of
the question of the constitutionality
of a vote by the present Legislature.
ANY men who would be otherwise
inclined to vote for suffrage will
have their doubts set at rest by the
opinion of State Attorney-General
declaring the vote in en-
tire accord with the oaths of the leg
Islators," said Mrs. Gait. "And we
are also receiving many opinions
from all over the State in accord |
with his"

TIDE swell
FOR ROBERTS

Optimism reigns supreme at the
headquarters of Governor A. H. Rob
erts, as the campaign launches out
on the last heat of the race. Major
tiles of from twenty to thirty thou
sand are freely predicted by those in
charge of headquarters. A regular
tide swell for Roberts is what they
ore expecting. Reports coming in
from ali parts of the State indicate
that Crabtree will not carry single
congressional district in the State,
and it is even doubtful, according to
those in charge, If he carries sim
gle county. News from Hamilton
County, the home of Col. Crabtree,
indicates that Roberts will carry it
by handsome majority.
The cause for this prediction and
overwhelming trend towards Gov
ernor Roberts is said to be due to the
campaign of misrepresentation,
abuse and SANDER put on by friends
Of Col. .Crabtree. The people of the
State have taken the trouble to in
form themselves on governmental
questions and have found that Gov
ernor Roberts administration has
measured up to the standard of good
government. In urging the passage
of the present assessment laws every
one knows that the Governor was ac-
tuated by no other motive than to
do q real service for the State, and
since these laws have been explained
to the people they are readily en-
dorsing them. Another cause for
the trend to Roberts is the fact that
Col. Crabtree and his supporters have
denounced and repudiated the State
Democratic platform, and are there
fore running independently of the
party pronouncements at its conven-
tion of June s, but, perhaps, the
chief cause for the great number of
voters turning to Roberts is the fact
that since hearing Crabtree speak
and watching him in his campaign,
they realize that he is incapable of
defending the party against Re-
publican opponent, and that his nom
ination would insure the election OF
a Republican Governor
Roberts headquarters do not con-
cede a single county in the State to
Crabtree, while they say that he will
doubtless carry a few counties, his
majorities in them will be so small
that no one can designate just what
he will carry, if any. Head
quarters for the Governor are urging
the friends of the Governor to go to
the polls on August and vote that
his majority may be so overwhelm-
ing no Republican will have the
courage to wage an aggressive cam
paign against him in November.
Wherever the Governor has spoken
he has convinced his hearers of the
correctness of his position, and the
opposition in these places rapidly
fades into insignificance. The more
friends of the Governor
believe he will win the nomination
by not less than fifteen thousand
majority.

demand for Credit
By Middle Glass
On Increase Now
Persons Who Formerly Paid
Cash Driven to Other
Method by High Prices
and Small Pay, Says Dealer

Credit limitations placed by depart
ment and specially stores upon their
customers, according to the president
ofsa leading Fifth Avenue establish
ment, in many cases drives a certain
amount of trade from the store. Near
ly every store places limit upon the
amount of merchandise it will sell to
a customer, based largely upon the
customers income. This is done to
protect the store and in measure to
protect the customer from self-indul-
gence and extravaganza. The point
that the Fifth Avenue merchant now
makes is that great many customers
doano limit their expenditures in pro-
portion to their income and prefer to
purchase more than they should. Find
ing their credit limit exhausted at one
store, they proceed to another, where
they open an account and purchase up
to their, limit in that establishment.
Cranky" said this merchant yester-
day, "this is a problem that deserves
more attention than most merchants
are giving it, / am in favor of free
exchange of credit information among
stores, including the amounts that each
customer owes the store. For our own
protection we should know how our
customers are spending their money
not only in our store but in those of
our competitors.
aThe credit limit also is responsible
in "a certain measure for the reputa-
tions that stores get for being good
places in which to buy certain things,
/ believe that women deliberately pur-
chase dresses in one store, for example,
waists in another and shoes in another
tosprevent running over their credit
lin8its in any one store. They tell
their friends that they always go to
Jones for their blouses and SO induce
their friends to do likewise"
Applications for credit, according to
the credit granters in leading depart
ment stores, are increasing, and the
job of the credit man is being made
harder by reason of this fact. Most
OF the applicants, it is said, belong to
the great middle class, which now finds
itself faced by high prices and COM
paratively low incomes. The majority
of this class formerly paid cash, but
is now forced to the credit basis to
make its necessary purchases. The
growth of the installmert business is
pointed to as an indication of the in
creasing demand for credit by this
class.

Generally Steady;
Old Months Weak
Evening Up of Accounts in
Local Market and Outside
Buying ON Weather Pros
poets Cause the Changes

Much of the steadiness which char
acterized the cotton market yesterday
was due to evening-up of local and
Wall Street short accounts together
with a little outside buying influenced
by predictions for unsettled weather
Sunday in Eastern Texas which some
thought might mean rain.
In contrast to the strength Of new
crop positions, old crop deliveries were
comparatively heavy on account of
prospects for rather large deliveries
range, which was points lower to 12
points net higher, it was the old crop
months which displayed the weakness.
There was speculative buying by
New Orleans interests throughout the
morning possibly due to a belief that
the crop had been without rain for a
sufficient period to make possible com
plants that precipitation was needed
in portions of the Eastern belt to bring
up the late planted cotton.
Part of Wall Street buying was
doubtless due to expectations that a
conservative man would receive the
nomination at Chicago. After reach
ing 1913 for October and 34.65 for De-
cember, the market reacted about Is to
20 points but met with good support on
provement so that the close was only
about 10 points under the top.
Information from the cotton goods
market was that business in whole
sale dry goods lines, especially in the
West, was in greater volume than for
the corresponding week last year,
buyers taking large quantities for i'm
mediate delivery, indicating a free
movement of cotton goods over retail
counters. With sales of about 10000
pieces of print cloths at Fall River for
the week, rejecting a better interest
among buyers than in two or three
months past, curtailment approximated
100000 pieces, due to increased idle
ness among operatives.

The range of prices follows:
