COL ORED VOTES SOUGHT
'BY FARMER-LABoR PARTY

TOPEKA. Kan. October 17.-An ap-
peal to the colored voters of America
to enroll Under the banner of the
farmer-labor party and denunciation
cratic and the republican parties
marked an address here tonight by
Farley Parker Christensen, farmer
abor candidate for President.
THE same imperialistic motives for
the benefit of Wall street animate
both the democratic and republican
parties" said Mr.. Christensen. ''Of
course. this actual motive is always
vanished with a. spurious veneer of
morality to deceive the people.
And then there are those like Mr..
Wilson who. as Artemus Ward once
remarked. are willing to sacrifice all
their. wife's relations to make the
world safe for democracy.
I'VE in America should have better
taste than to talk Of making the
world safe for democracy. We, with
our Burlesons. our Palmers, our de-
portations. our lynchings and our
many Determinations against our col
ored brothers.
The republican party processes to
be the champion of the rights of the
colored people. They declare that it
was the republican party which was
Instrumental in emancipating them,
and they depend on this contention to
swing the colored vote. But it is OBJ
vious to any one with even peanut
brains that the republican party of to-
day resembles the republican party of
81 in name only.
America to consider the cause Of the
farmer labor party. We demand JUS
tice for them not only for their sake,
but because we believe they can con.
tribute as much as any other people
toward the making Of q better Amer

Plans for equalizing the interchange

receive from it's. comedians as many
cars as it delivers are being worked
out by the railroads, the American
Railway Associations car service
division announced today.
The proposed plan should operate
to enable each district to maintain a
supply of ;cars approximating it's
ownership. the association said. To
meet the demands for cars for the
grain movement and the necessities
of local situations, however, orders
now in effect require eastern roads

number of cars per day in excess OF

HARD|NGlAUDS LOYALTY
Of PORTO RICO TO US.
Writes Views Oh independence to
National Committeeman
Todd.

SAN JUAN, p, r., October 3 fby the
Associated Press).-Senator Warren
G. Harding. republican nominee for
President Of the United States has
sent a letter to r.. H. Todd, ma
tional committeeman for Porto
subject OF Porto Rican independence.
The, letter, given out here. bears date
Of Marion. Ohio, September 20 last.
and was a reply to a request from
MI. Todd for an expression Of Sen
ator Hardings opinion on Porto Rican
Independence 1t reads:
MY Dear Mr.. Todd
Thank you for writing me as you
did on September 8.
There has been more than one in
stance of the demand for independ-
ence OF certain sections Of our terri
tory. History has shown clearly
enough that these demands were
founded on short sighted policy. and
that II autonomy had been obtained
the. result would have been the loss
OF those great benefits Of protection.
freedom, equality Of opportunity and
prosperity which America has al
ways brought to her component parts.
II there Is a minority opinion in .Por-
to Rico for independence represented
in a political party, I believe that it
will not flourish long because the
WISDOM OF your people is too SOUND to
even consider casting aside the t1lti-
mate welfare which flows from a
unity with the American republic.
In all cases known to the past or
the present this unity and loyalty is
based upon the good sense of men
and women. watchful against dema-
goguery aimed at gaining untram-
meled political power under so-called
independence Often. when in vari-
GUS corners Of the, world independ-
ence has been gained, it has resulted
in exploitation of the poor, in chaos.
bankruptcy and misfortune brought
on by the very same forces which led
the demand for autonomy.
Il believe in the loyalty Of the peo-
pie OF Porto Rico to the United States.
and in the loyalty Of the United States
to the people of Porto Rico.
very sincerely, -- y
WARREN G. HARDING"
