SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 13.-In ac-
cordance with the Red Cross chap
tiers in every town, city and village.
In the entire United States.
the local organization started this
week with a house to house canvass
for the benefit of the earthquake

homeless, thousands of injured and
hundreds who lack clothes and suf-
fcient food.
Mrs. B. c. Duvier, of Bordentown

been appointed to solicit different
sections of the city under various
captains. The committees started
a drive Of the main streets in the
city yesterday afternoon and an en-
~couraging report is expected before
many hours.
The quota for South Amboy is
$1,100 and, with the splendid show
ing made by the local Red Cross in
previous drives. and the fact that
emergency calls, such as this one
T always received in a generous
way, the general chairman is con-
fident that the stated sum will be
reached in a short time.
A dollar from every person in
this city who can afford it would
help out considerably, while it is ex-
pected that some of the leading
business men will contribute larger
amounts. One dollar from every
family in this city means that prob
ably the lives of the sufferers in the
stricken country might be saved. Let
everyone give generously to the cause
that is sc immediate at this time.

Mrs. Duvier announced yesterday
that on Saturday, when the drive is
scheduled to close, the school girls
from the local institutions will take
the street in an effort to raise what

At present those who realize the
necessity of the drive and the great
need of money and who wish to
make donations to the cause can

commander. John II. Lyons, of Bal

Junior vice-commander.
A resolution adopted at the nat

to be introduced in the next session
of Congress.
i The bills dorsed by resolution
re the Bursom bill, increasing pen
Esions of all Civil Wa veterans to $72
and their widows to $50 per month;
the Chandler bill, increasing pen
slonso of all veterans of the Spanish
American War, the Philippine In

to provide longlivity pay for officers
ard enlisted men in other than the
Regular Army and serving under
the war department.
Another resolution, presented by
j. B. McIlroy, of Washington, d. c.,
and adopted was that provided for
pensions for all Regular Army men
who served west of the Missouri and
Mississippi river up to 1892, as the
present pension law covering those
men is not broad enough. 1t is
conceded that the men who served
in the Regular Army west of the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers pre-
vious to 1892 are the men whose
presence protected the white set
tiers while developing that country
and to those men the United States
government is indebted.

ID ESULTS of Johnson's victory may
IN be more important than its causes.
LaFollette, Senator Brookhart Of Iowa
and others gloatingly predicted that it
means the defeat of Mr.. Harding for
denomination next year, and it was
said some of the party leaders might
renew their efforts to induce him to
decline a second term-efforts that
they exerted first after the Republican
reverses in the election of 1922. Brook
hart, who had just returned from Eu-
rope, launched in New York boom
for the nomination of Judge Kenyon
former senator from Iowa, and LaFol-
lette also spoke of him as a possibility
though it is generally believed the
Wisconsin, senator will again have his
own name presented to the Republican
convention. Kenyon cannot well be
classed with either the radicals or the
extreme conservatives, but he may be
found not distasteful to either wing
of the party.

of California-also is to be brought

CURPASSING all other domestic
~ news of the week, in interest if
not in Importance, was the decisive
victory of Magnus Johnson, Farmer

the advice of their leaders, cast their
ballots for Johnson. Minnesota now

Senator LaFollette, and the Wiscon-

the balance of power in the upper
house. Johnson, who is a "self-made
man." frankly says that on many is
sues he makes up his mind to accord
with that of LaFollette. He declares,
however, that already he is opposed
to the world court, the League of Ma
tons and foreign entanglements and
in favor of soldier bonus to be paid
for out of excess profits taxes.
Republican chieftains, from the Pres
ident down, were rather dismayed by
the result in Minnesota OF course
Mr.. Harding had nothing to say of it.
Chairman Adams of the national COM
mite said:
"In a general way, the result was a
protest against conditions temporarily
affecting the farming interests adverse
". Conditions in Minnesota and else
where in agricultural sections of the
country are bound to improve, and
with their Improvement public opinion
in those sections will right itself"
Chairman Hull of the Democratic
national committee, interpreted the re-
suit as "the most significant and hui
initiating defeat and reputation the
Harding administration has suffered
since the nationwide reputation in
1922"
1.-THE election was the first reaction
to President Harding's transconti-
mental political tour with its boast of
prosperity, its characteristic evasions
and reversals and facing both ways, !"
he said.
