The corporation would offer organ
lied objection to any material increase
in rates while the small consumer
would not notice the raise 1T was
pointed out during the discussion.
For this reason the burden was placed
on the small consumer so that no one
concern would feel the increase.
The water department rates have
been considerably higher in Pensacola
than in other cities in this section Of
the United States, but in SPIKE Of this
fact the department has not been self
sustaining. Nearly every month the
departments finances are repleaished
from other funds to meet the expenses
of the department.
At present the city wells have
combined capacity OF nearly nine mill
lion gallons daily and the last well, re-
Gently completed, was pronounced TO
be the strongest OF the system. Be-
fore il was brought in the average
number of gallons OF water pumped
to the pound of coal used was about

average will be materially increased
with the new well in operation.

HARDING SURE
OF PARTY UNITY
Republican Headquarters Issues
Statement In Answer to
COx's Chairman.
(1y Associated Fress.)

Marion. o., Aug. "A claim Of COM
plete unity behind Senator Harding on
the League of Nations issue was made
in an official statement issued today
at Harding headquarters here.
"Chajrman White of the Democratic
national committee the statement
says. ehas undertaken to further some
questions recently addressed to Gov-
ernor Cox His statement is chiefly
complaint because both Senator
Hiram Jahnson and ex- President Taft
have expressed approval of Senator
derstand how such evidences of Re-
publican unity are displeasing to Mr..
White, but it was not anticipated that
he would thus early in the campaign
make such frank acknowledgement.
.Tnasmuch as Mr.. White has thus
publicly and handsomely acclaimed
that all e lements of Republicans are
approving Senator Harding's attitude.
it may be added that he has sensed
the situation with admirable perspica-
city. Republicans of all sections and
groups are solidly in favor of Senator
Harding's attitude. This is proved
by thousands of letters and kilograms
from every state. A large. per cent
are from men who describe themselves
as having heretofore been Democrats.
.Chairman White has made a correct
discovery that the Republican party is
completely unified. Republicans are
quite as satisfied in noting the COM
plete accord of the president and the
nominee chosen by the Democratic
party"
Senator Harding held string of
conferences today and worked at
snatches between times on the next
front porch speech, which will be de-
livered Wednesday. Among those on
his appointment list were Professor
Irwin Fisher of Yale, Mayor Charles
Jewett of Indianapolis. and Represen- :
tat.ve Frederick C. Hicks of New York.
Mr. Hicks, who has just completed a
trip through the west, told the candi-
date that although there was some
disappointment there over Senator
Johnsons defeat for the nomination in
Chicago. the people now were salts
fled" and that the Harding candidacy
was growing rapidly in strength.
Currency initiation and other fiscal
subjects were discussed by Professor
Fisher.
