Pinchot and Beveridge
Not Presidents Foes
Harding Tired of Reports That
Their Victories Are Slaps
at Administration

from TIE Trfbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Presi-
dent let it be known to-day that he re-
CARDS both Clifford Pinchot, of Penn
sylvania, and Albert j. Beveridge, of
Indiana, as most loyal supporters.
Wearied of reports in the press and
elsewhere that the primary nomina-
lions of Pinchot for Governor and of
Beveridge for Senator were "slaps at
the Administration" the President de-
clared himself in no uncertain terms.
1t was said at the White House that
the President has had no quarrel of
any kind or taken any issue with any
men nominated to either state or
Federal post Furthermore, the Presi-
dent has accepted the nominations with
perfect equanimity. For the thirty
four years of his political life he has
been supporting results of conventions
and primaries with regularity that
has been proverbial. The Administra-
ton wishes all Republican nominees
we'll, it was emphasized at the White
House

Mails Harding 100 Chicks

WASHINGTON. May 10. - Acting
Postmaster General Bartlett received
word to-day from Postmaster French
Grow, of Marion, Ohio, that 100 day
old chickens were on their way via
parcel post to Washington, for presen-
tation to President Harding.
Mr.. Bartlett said the chicks would be
sent to the White House Immediately
upon their arrival from the Presidents
home town and that they probably
would be permitted to revel about the
White House grounds along with Lad
die Boy, the Presidents Airedale.
There was no disposition on the part
Of either Mr.. Bartlett or Postmaster
Grow, it was said, to convert the
executive grounds into barnyard, but
it was felt the chicks should be &C
corded at least a brief sojourn amid
Presidential surroundings.

Ine same opportunity in your city to
etfect reduction in your tax budget a
there was in the state, with this excep-
ton, that the opportunity was here
several times greater because your ex-
penscs are SO much greater. SO that.
upon that evidence, which certainly is
unlmpeachable, the case which we
claim is established, and the reason on
when the Democratic appeal is made
conVlcts their own admin stration of
the grossest extravaganza of the pub
lie funds.
I'VE claim that while reducing the
cost of government we have more eff
GENTLY discharged every public duty
and that every activity Of the state re-
sulting IN good to the public has been
carried on with greater and still
greater efficiency"
Power Policy Benefits People
Governor Miller then took up the
question of water power, and described
the policy adopted as one to encour-
ase the investment Of capital, and en-
courage private initiative to undertake
the development, but to do it under
such terms as would assure to the pub
lie the benefit of the widest distribu-
ton OF power, at a proper price to
the consumer.
And so rejecting the claims of the
demagogues on the one hand and of
private interests on the other. who
would like to exploit the natural re-
sources of the people," continued the
Governor, eve laid the foundation for
water power development upon the
basis that capital should get fair re-
turn upon every dollar honestly in
vested in the enterprise, but that the
state itself should reserve the complete
control of the distribution of that
power and the fixing of the price of
the power to the consumer"
The Governor reviewed the numer-
Gus child welfare acts signed by him
and declared that these provided for
the real well-being of the people. He
said he had been called many hard
names by faddists and theorists for
not enacting their visionary and i'm
practical schemes"
Next he took up the labor legislation
enacted during his administration, and
referring to one Of the many labor
laws signed by him, the amended
workmen's compensation act, he called
attention to the fact that at the hear
ing in the Executive Chamber the rep
rescntatives Of labor said cit was
framed by the friends of labor"
yet despite this. no doubt we shall
be accused this fall, as in the past, of

Governor.

Hay. associate county chairman, pre-
sided, transacted the routine business

Preceding the gathering Mr.. Miller
was the guest of the County Committee

CAVENDEP GOOD TALKER
EXCEPT ON OIL SITUATION

In an interview with Mr..
Alexander Cavender, the
Shreveport geologist who is
working in the vicinity of
Washington, the Telegraph gets
no information about oil pros
poets. Mr.. Cavender is deeply
interested in crustaceous for
nations on and near the sur
face. But as these shells are
closely related to oil, possibly
Mr.. Cavender would be glad to
have no oil interfere with his
research work.
Mr.. Cavender is thoroughly
versed in MallbrooK rock, the
sholes of which form crude oil
and he is engaged diligently in
the vicinity of Marlbrook creek
and other points near Washing
ton. He is finding an interest
ing lot of antique bones, shells,
ETC., if he doesn't care anything
for oil.
Mr.. Cavender knows all a
bout the formation of oil sands,
rocks, etc. He is an interesting
talker about everything except
oil, but knows about all that is
to be known about that.
He promises us some good in
formation in a few days, and
you may look for some Of the

favor. The general downward
tendency of interest rates
should make the security even
more popular now.
According to the Company's
announcement, more than IA,
600 people in this territory pur-
chased the first two issues,
buying either for cash or on the
partial payment plan. The
Company now has stockhold-
ers in almost every city or ham,
let in the states in which it
furnishes telephone service.
This new issue should have
a special appeal to the people
of Washington because i, is a
home investment. Investors
seem to appreciate very highly
the opportunity to put their
money in an investment which
they can see working right be-
fore them in their homes and
offices.
Shares may be bought for
500 cash and accrued divi-
dend or on monthly INSTALL
ments of as low as'$5 per share.
Purchases may be made at the
