 THE RACE QUESTION
 Somewhat related to the foregoing human problems is the race question. Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners Of free and orderly representative democracy. We face the fact that many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our peo- pie and that in a number of states they constitute a very large propor- ton of the total population. It Is unnecessary to recount the difficult ties incident to this condition, nor to emphasize the fact that it Is a condi- ton which cannot be removed. There have been suggestions, however, that some of it's difficulties might be ameliorated by a humane and enlight- ened consideration of it, study of its many aspects, and an effort to formu- late, if not a policy at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the na- tional life. One proposal Is the crea- tion of commission embracing rep resentatives of both races. to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit l am con vinced that in mutual tolerance, un- derstanding, charity, recognition oi the interdependence of the races, ana the maintenance. of the rights of citi- zenship lies the road to righteous ad- justment
 It is needless to call your attention to the unfinished business inherited from the preceding Congress. The ap' propriation bills for army and navy will have your early consideration.
 READY TO CUT ARMAMENT Neither branch of the government can be unmindful of the call for re duced expenditure for the depart ments of our national defense. Th' government is in accord with the wish to eliminate the burdens of heavy armament The United States ever vii be in harmony with such movemen toward the higher attainments o l peace. But we shall not entirely dis card our agencies for defense unti | there is removed the need to defend We are ready to cooperate with othel 1 nations to approximate disarmament but merest prudence forbids that VI l disarm alone.

disappointment to the world have been compensated In the proof that this re- public will surrender none of the heri- tage of nationality, but our rights in International relationship have to be asserted. they require establishment in compacts of amity; our part in read justment and restoration cannot be ig- nored and must be defined.
 With the supergoverning league defi- nitey rejected and with the world so in formed. and with the status of peace proclaimed at home, we may proceed to negotiate the covenanted relationships so essential to the recognition of all the rights everywhere of our own nation and play our full part in joining the peoples of the world in the pursuits of peace orce more. Our obligations in effecting European tranquility because of wars in- volvements are not less impelltng than our part in the war itself. This res toration must be wrought before the hu- fnaa process can go onward again. We can be helpful because we are moved by no hatred and harbor no fears. Helpfulness does not mean entanglement, and participation in economic adjust ments does not mean sponsorship for treaty commitments which do not con cern us, and in which we will have no part.
 WILL SEEK ADVICE
 In an all-impelling wish to do the most and best for our own republic and main tain its high place among nations and at the same time make the fullest offer ing of justice to them, I shall invite in the most practical way the advice of the Senate, after acauainting 1t with all the conditions to be met and obligations to be discharged, along with our own rights to be safeguarded. Prudence in making the programme and confident co-opera- tion in making it effective cannot lead us far astray. We can render no eff fective service to humanity until ws prove anew our own capacity for coop eration in the cooperation of powers. and no covenants which ignore our as- sociations In the war can be made for l the future. More, no helpful society of nations can be founded on justice and committed to peace until the covenants 1 re-establshing peace are sealed by the nations which were at war. To such l accompiishments--to the complete re-es- l tablishment of peace and it's contracted relationship to the realization of our as- pirations for nations associated for world
 helpfulness without world government,
 for world stability on fhich humanity s hopes are founded--we shall address our
 selves, fully mindful of the high priv
 iiege and the paramount duty of the | United States in this critical period of the world.

81 YEARS IN CITY,
BUT NOT IN CLUB

Thirty-one years a resident Of Indian
apolis, thirty one days a member of the
Marion Club is the record of Mr. Thomas
Carr Howe, former president OF Butler
College and News -Jewett candidate for
the Republican mayoralty nomination,
according 10 Edwin b. Pugh, manager
OF the Robson speaking bureau in a
speech made last night at Twenty Fifth
street and Central avenue
Speaking Of the Howe candidacy Mr.
Pugh said: at seems to me mighty poor
grace for a man to ask TO be placed at
the head of a party ticket as the partisan
candidate on the Republican ticket when
he himself has voted for about as many
Democrats as Republicans Professor
Howe has lived in indianapolis thirty one
years, he has been a member of the
Marion Club just thirty one days. His
supporters have been telling the people
Of indianapolis to get right with Howe
1t looks very much If Professor Howe
is trying to get right with the Republican
party"

TELLS STORY OF
HOW WORK Is DONE
I was a close friend of Thomas C.
Howe at Butler College" 7aid Mr.. Nor
gan. I'VE were fraternity brothers and
seat mates. Before Mr.. Howe got into
the campaign 1 promised my support to
Edward J. Robson and of course have
kept my word. Nevertheless I have
warm spot in NY heart for Mr.. Howe and
I wanted to be sure that the board ia
my precinct was above reprosch. so
consulted with several reputable leaders
and finally recommended to the city
chairman Hearst Il Sargent, "a we'll
known attorney. for inspector; Edward
B. Pugh. another reputable attorney, for
clerk; william II. Schrader for judge
and Lucius Wilson for sheriff
After I had made up this list. W. O.
Bangs, deputy county coroner and a
Howe supporter, came to ME and told me
he wanted Harold J. Purvis. a city EN-
ploye. put on as sheriff so he could mark
ballots for persons who asked for in
structions in the booths. Knowing. Of
course that the clerks are the sole Of
ficials legally entitled to assist voters in
marking their ballots 7 told Bangs |
would not do anything Of the kind He
told me that he was gsing 10 have this
board To suit himself He did.
In the list which the city chairman
certified to the city election board Mr.
Schrader is made inspector, Ralph
Forbes, Judge; Lloyd D. Richie, clerk,
and Harold J. Purvis sheriff
In some quarters it was reported that
in stragetic precincts where the News
Jewett organization desired 10 cover up
their intentions, dummy members of
boards were appointed Pol ticians
mean by dummy" board members that
men who are not intended TO serve are
appointed, then when they fail to ap-
pear on the morning of the election the
board is filed from whatever men may
be handy, and, of course, the News
Jewett machine would not overlook the
advantage Of having some one handy.

the three campaigns speak frankly Of
the outcome they express grave doubts
as to the success of their candidate.
Shank is more fearful that he will be
defrauded Of the nomination than that
he will be beaten.
Robson IS fearful only that Howe. will
cut iHfo the administration vote
sufficiently to allow Shank the lead
Howe knows In his heart that he has
no business in the race and the mem
bers Of the organization that is con-
Quoting his campaign realize that they
cannot deliver to hiin the support they
found necessary to deliver 10 Jewett IN
his race against Shank four years ago.
The puzzle to all three Of the camps
In the unpledged vote. Howe followers
are fearful that 81 represents that part
Of the electorate that Is avoiding
criticism or annoyance By declaring It
self for Shank Robson supporters are
not sure that the silent vote belongs TO
him and shank supporters wonder IL Il
a vote that has been forced reluctantly
to line up with the organization.
