FORMER GOVERNOR
SPEAKS TO WOMEN

YOUNGSTOWN, N. j., June IA
Former Governor Stokes, speaking
to the Morris County Republican
women here last night. said in part:
The Republican party is a con-
structive party. 1t is too big a party
TO destroy. 1t is too big a party
to make war. These are days when
people are tired of differences and
wan peace, not only international
and civic peace but industrial peace.
1t is time that the governments war
fare upon captains of industry n
business men had ceased TO be.
President Harding said the other
day in Trenton: I'VE want more
business in government and less gov
eminent in business,
In 1907 Senator Foraker bewailed
the fact that in ten years a little
band of one hundred and sixty-seven
special agents and deputies and in
spectors on the payroll of the gov
eminent had swelled to an army OF
ten thousand. Today that army is
over thirty thousand. Almost every
business man finds an inspector al
