which makes it difficult for the popu-
lar favor!te to say mo- to his. friends
or to do anything to jeopardize his
popularity. This was borne out in
Smiths administration, when his good
fellowship was paid for by the taxpay-
ers of the state.
"The man who has the welfare of
the state most at heart must learn to
refuse favors to small groups. A real
Governor is one who has the interest
of all the people at heart, not merely
those who are able to talk to him
across the dinner table, but those who
live in section Of the state where
they have no one to speak for them
Governor Miller is that kind of Gov
ernor. He is not afraid to do the
thing that is unpopular at the mo-
ment, but is for the best interests of
the commonwealth"
Senator Calder praised the diligence
and enthusiasm of the women as polit-
ical workers, and declared that in New
York City the proportion of women Re-
publicans was greater than that of
men. He then entered into a defense
of the new tariff laws.
The luncheon was the "get-together
rally" for the women workers of the
five boroughs, and was attended by the
women district leaders and the wives
of nearly all the prominent Republican
leaders in the city. Mrs. Elsie Calder
Lee, who is in charge Of her fathers

guests the twenty-three women leaders

Republican Legislators Find
League Failure; Are Glad

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Cancellation
Of Allied debts to the United States
was opposed unanimously to-day by
three nators-McKinley, Republican,
Illinois; Spencer, Republican, Missouri,
and Harris, Democrat, Georgian dis
cussing their impressions of an extern
sive tour of Europe, where they were
American delegates to the Interparlia-
mentary Peace Union. All three agreed
on their arrival here that there was
much suffering and economic distress
eminent should make no more loans
there. They united in predictions that
Germany would work herself out of her
present difficulties.
As to the League of Nations, the
two Republican Senators differed some
what from their Democratic colleague.
Senators Mckinley and Spencer de-
clared the United States should not be
in the league, but Senator Harris said
affairs both in Europe and America
would be better to-day if America had
become member at the start.
'"The league is not operated to-day
along the lines upon which it was or
ganized,' said Senator Mckinley a"It
has found out that it cannot order
nations to do thus and so, and now
takes credit for bringing nations to-
gether to talk over disputes. Great
Britain and France dominate the
league. Balfour comes pretty near
being the dominating factor"
Senator Spencer said that "from
every aspect the wisdom of the United
States in refusing the obligations of
the league is daily becoming more
manifest" adding that had this gov
ernment become member "our SOL
diers and sailors would be gathering
around Constantinople to-day"
Declaring the league was not oper-
ating as. its Republican opponents had
predicted, Senator Harris said that
Europe now feels that it is the only
thing that will prevent another great
war"
Every Republican met in Europe
went there opposed to the league" he
added, "and after investigating said
that we ought to have gone into it, not
to aid Europe, but to aid American
business conditions"
