HAYS IN CONFERENCE
WITH SENATOR PENROSE
BY J. BART CAMPBELL,
international News Service

The badly twisted political sit,ia-
ton confronting the Republican
party is expected to be the subjc~t
of a conference Republican Matte ial
Chairman Will H. Hays is to hold
today with Senator Penrose at Phil
adelphia, while en- route to Wash
ington.
Johnson Disturbs Them.
Supporters here Of the Presidential
boom OF Senator Hiram Johnson say
he has given Hays and Penrose much
to think and talk about in having up
set the calculations of the Old Guard
by the showing he has already made
in the East.
They profess not TO take seriously
Penrose's declaration for Senator
Knox as the best equipped, all
around international statesman to
meet the requirements of the situa-
ton" They express the belief Pen
rose was "spoofing" when he said
while doubtless several other gem
tlemen who have been mentioned
could be nominated and elected, ] be-
Senator Knox with considerable ease
and facility"
They add Penrose's Endorsement of
Knox would hardly prove helpful to
Knox If he were to become a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for President in view of the open op-
position to Penrose and the Old Guard
among Republicans in the West
Indorse League Stand.
Pcnrose's friends here, including a
number Of Republican Senator's who
have been in close touch with him
lately, state, on the other hand, PEN
rose expressed himself on Knox after
ten days careful consideration OF
candidates, during which time he
consulted with a number Of other Re-
publican leaders. They say he has
Indicated to them that Knox's stand
on the League OF Nations and the
peace treaty fits him instead OF John
son to be the standard-bearer of the

OFFICIALS and COMMITTEE
INSPECT CITY LIGHT PLANT

Not one cent of the taxpayers mon.

tee and the board of works showed
wednesday. The income from the
plant has taken care of all expendi.
lures, despite the bad conditions at
the plant, E. NJ. Campfield stated Wed
nesday.
1t was found that the proposed i'm.
provements to put the light plant in
a condition to render efficient service
and continuous power, could be paid
For in approximately five years from
the income from the plant.
The committee, meeting with the
board of works, investigated reports
of various engineers that have recon.
mended improvements to the plant
Contracts already made were scrut.
inized and the proposal for bids on a
5000 kilowatt turbine were gone over
An estimate is sought of the amount
above the s175,000 for the turbine
necessary to put the plant in tip-top
condition.
Need Coal conveyors-
1t was found that one of the urgent
needs of the plant was the need for
coal conveyor to carry the coal
direct from the cars to the boilers
feeding the coal under the boilers and
at the same time carrying the ashes
away. 1t was found that this conveyor
would pay for itself in one year, at
the present cost Of coal and labor.

Delightful Taste, Immediate

The sensation Of the year IN the
irug trade is Aspirona1, the two-min-
ute cold and cough reliever, authori-
tatively guaranteed by the laborator-
les; tested, approved and most en-
Enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by the
common people as ten times as quick
and effective as whiskey, rock and
rye. or any other cold and cough rem
edy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, SO all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
Is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for q bot.
tie of Aspironal and tell him to serve
you two teaspoonfulS with four tea
spoonfuls of water in a glass. With
your watch in your hand, take the
drink at one swallow and call for
your money back in two minutes IL
you cannot feel your cold fading away
like a dream within the time limit.
Don't be bashful, for all druggists In
vite you and expect you to try it.
Everybody's doing it.
When your cold or cough is re-
lieved, take the remainder of the bot
tie home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and
most effective. the easiest to take and
the most agreeable cold and cough
remedy for infants and children.-Ad.

showed that the power end of the
plant is topsy turvy, the electrical end
OF the plant is in fine condition, as is
the financial status.
1t was found also that the plant
needs revolving screen to sift the
silt from the water as it is taken from
the river. Failure to remove the dirt
causes much damage to the boilers, it
is said.
A feed water heater is needed by
the plant, the investigation showed.
1t was found that some cold water and
some hot water is being fed into the
boilers. BY means of a feed water
heater. it is said, warm water would
be sent into the boilers at all times.
Since the feed water heater is operat-
ed by the exhaust steam, it's operation
would be economical
New stokers are recommended also
as the stokers now in use were found
to be dilapidated.
The citizens committee contena-
plates an investigation of the transac'
tions relative to securing bonds !. to
cover the proposed Improvements and
the commissions action on the re-
quest of the city.
Mr.. Campbell stated that the tour of
the plant Wednesday morning showed
that shortage of labor at the plant
handicapped the work, and leaks ex.
listed that had not been repaired for
years due to the fact that the atten-
ton of the employees had been directed
entirely to the upkeep of plant that
was going to pieces constantly.

kIWANIS CLUB HEARS
DISCUSSION OF HOME
RULE FOR THIS CITY

Civic clubs and organizations must
get together and decide just what 1t
is they want the next Indiana legis-
lature to do in regard to home rule
and city government and then send a
strong representation to the legis-
lature's meetings to show that public
opinion really desires changes, Guild
A. Copeland, representative Of the HI.
wants club at the National Municipal
League meetings held in Indianapolis
last week, said was the advice OF the
national meeting.
Tremendous power in politics can
be exerted by civic clubs if they are
determined to help form clean gov
ernments in their cities.
I'm some progressive cities civic
clubs hand out books telling who is
running for office, what he has done
and what his record is. These are
|non-partisan and are free from libel
but absolutely reliable. The result
has been remarkable in many cities"
he said.
Prefer This Form
The commission-manager form OF
city government seems to be the most
successful of any form of govern
ment tried in this country, having
several advantages over the plain
commission form.
An effort Will be made to bring
Professor Charles Hatton, field sec
rotary for the National Municipal
League, to come to Richmond and adj
dress an open meeting some evening
in the near future.
The public affairs committee sub
yofffcd that MIN S1v
accepted by the club. and the requests
therein granted. The committee had
previously met on Nov. % and dis
cussed the home rule plan.
Adopt Resolutions
The resolution follows:
BE 1t resolved that, we the under
signed committee, having met and dis
cussed the possible results by virtue
of home rule, sincerely believe that
home rule for the city of Richmond,
Ind, will be a splendid solution tina
will take care of some of the present
conditions in Richmond, which exist
by virtue of the fact that men who
are now in public office, some incom-
petent and others reluctant to do and
perform their duties, which has re-
suited in great damage and dissatis-
| faction to the taxpayers of Richmond,
to the end that it seems to be the de-
sire of the people of the city of Rich
mond to change the status of govern
ment Of the city and place competent
men inmen in charge of the business
affairs and to do SO it will be neces-
sary to have Legislation.
"Be it resolved that, in view of the
| multitude of work that this committee
has in connection with the question
relating to home rule and the legal
status of the same, as we'll as the
theoretical and practical parts of the
law and it's administration, that said
committee have additional time to in
vestigate and acquaint themselves
with the facts SO that within short
time said committee can more ably
present in a more efficient and educa-
tional way to said club. SO that before
said club takes final action said club
will be familiar and in possession of
all data necessary in reference to
