SEN. new SAYS DUTY
KEEPS SHIN AT CAPITAL
IN ADDRESS BY RADIO

WASHINGTON. March Ex-senator
New was in Washington last night,
yet he was the principal speaker
at a political gathering in Indianapolis.
The senator was seated at his desk
in the senate office building, while his
audience was assembled 600 miles
away in the Propylaeum at the Hoo
sier capital.
He delivered a 900-word address in
the interest of his campaign for re-
nomination. The radio-wireless tele-
phone made It possible for him to do
this bit Of long-distance campaign
ing. 1t is said to have been the first
time for member Of congress to use
this modern invention to deliver e.
campaign address.
The senator spoke through an ordi-
nary telephone. His phone was con-
nected with the great anacostia naval
radio station-this stations call being
''NOF'-and through the radio set at
this station his voice was sent out
through space in all directions for the
ears of all who listened at radio re.
ceiving phones.
Senator New spoke in part as fol.
lows: This occasion affords for me
just one regret, and that is that can
not look into your faces and thank
you for your presence tonight. The
best thing that can come to a public
servant Is the knowledge that he has
the confidence and good will of those
he represents, and for this evidence of
that welcome fact / give you bound
less thanks and gratitude that knows
no limit.
Welcomes Women.
II welcome the participation of wo-
men in our political affairs. ! approve
of 1t, first, because l believe it the
duty of every citizen to interest him
self in the administration of govern
ment, and find an added reason for
approval in the unquestioned fact tina!
the ideals of women are of the highest
and best. / believe that there Is moth
ing more dear to the heart of Ameri
can women than the guarantee of q
country at peace, and know further
that this administration has given US
that guarantee as nearly as human
power permits.
1.-THE world is to be felicitated or
the outcome of the great disarmament
conference, the accomplishments Of
which are far beyond the fondest ex
pectations of those by whom it wa;
called, and the success Of which we:
finally consumateds through the ratifi
cation by the nited States senate o.
the most important treaties negotiated
by it. The ratification of the four
power treaty left no doubt of tht
speedy ratification of thos remaining
and this done, i feel that we ma!
look forward to a long period, and
hope an unbroken one, Of peace ans
friendly relations between the people:
concerned.
Duty Causes Absence.
"a man should be wise enough Il
recognize an emergency when n
meets it. hope know one when
see It. am sure you do. ! kney
that there was an emergency in 191
and 1918. / have felt that the nee
for the ratification of the treaties be
fore the sente constituted another
which demanded that should remain
at my post of duty here in Washing
ton to contribute my vote as a ser
ator, and such effort as l am capabl
of giving, to their ratification, and
is that l may not neglect your bushes
here that / am denied the pleasure G
greeting you at closer range tonigh
There are voices of public men an
near public men that have never We
been raised in support of the wor
of the conference or the effort fc
peace being made by this administr;
ton, but at neither end of the wa
nor the events that have grown out {
ii have / stood mute. With the pro
pect of peace and prosperity ahead
hope to find the task of senator 4
more difficult than it has been in tn
