THE immediate retirement OF viii II.
81 Hays and Fred w upham, chairman
and treasurer, respectively, OF the Rcpubli-
can National Committee, ought to be de-
manded by Senator Harding and other Re
spublicans who have more interest In a clean

totally Incapable OF inviting public con
1dence. He belongs TO the suall-town class

barely able to hold Indiana in tho Re-
publican column.
AT the time OF his elevation TO the ma
tional craftsmanship he made many bitter
enemies within his own party. He tri-
umphcd only because of deadlock in tho
national committee. Since that time he has
done little to improve party prospects. First
of all. he became secret candidate for the
Republican nomination, but this adventure
miscarricd when friends OF Lowden, Wood
and Johnson became privy to his ambitions.
The Harding people, because they won the
nomination, were ready and eager to for
give ana forget. but there were many other
Republican leaders who believed that Sen
aior Harding should find another campaign
manager II the latter sincerely hoped to
unite his party behind him.
NOW the campaign fund revelations have
added 10 the unpoDularity OF Mr.. Hays.
True. the verdict against him has not been
rendered. The case is still held up by u
friendly committee, but enough testimony
has been submitted to discredt Mr.. Hays.
For example, lie loudly proclaimed his de-
termination TO return every campaign con-
tribution in excess OF $1,000. aud got no
has admitted under oath, as has his treas
nurer, that contributions in much larger
sums have been received and used.
MIR. Hays denied with indignation that
there was any program for campaign quotas
or that any extraordinarily largo fund was
being undertaken by the committee. Within
a few days from the date OF that dcnia, Gov
ernor Cox gave to the public a list of such
quotas. quoting from Republican campaign
documents Also the Democrats nominee
showed that moro than $4,000 900 was be-
ing raised with the prospect that tho sum
might reach $15,0O0,00O. All this was
proven from secret literature of Mr.. Hays
own committee.

Healthy business Outlook

IT HE Federal Reserve Boards review OF
the general financial condition through
out the United States for September, just

Election OF business hcal;hfulness and n salts

enables the board TO reach this conclusion:
Excellent crops yields providing sus-
tanned buying Pc or, banking conditions
have decidedly imp wed prices, many com
modities are seeking more normal levels
notable change for the better has taken place
in the efficiency OF labor, and business con
ditions are now definitely on the road toward

bilizng of disturbed market conditions by

basis OF unmpedcd operation OF the natural

power OF the buying lubic to regulate de-
mapd is a feature of the statement that will
not be uuderva!ued by students OF sound

last brought tho public to a realizing sense
OF the blame that lies at its door for the alb

tive OF the outcry against the excessive cost
OF living, and II has definitely set its face
toward self-correctiOn OF the habits of OK

took advantage Of to agEravatc conditions
Coupled with this awakened purpose TO put
an END TO unnecessary self-indulgcncc, there
is likewise disclosed distinct movement to-

in production. This. within itself is a sure
forerunner OF increased prosperity and re-
