COOLIDGE CHOICE
OF WOMEN VOTERS
Mrs. A. T. Hert Praises
Child Labor Policy.

"What the future holds for the
wage Garner and the wage earner's
family, is of vital interest to the
women of this country" Mrs. Alvin
T. Hert, vice chairman of the Repub-
lican National committee, stated in a
recent interview. Therefore, the
promises of the political parties on
the subject Of labor are of the great
est Importance. When we reflect that
there are eight and one-half million
women wage earners including two
million married women wage earners
who are directly affected by labor
legislation, as well as the wives of the
laboring men who are interested in
the protection afforded labor the inn
portance of the question can be plain
ly seen.
"Every woman in America Is in
terested in the question of child labor
and wants to see the children of this
country safeguarded during the most
important years Of their lives.
"a fair deal to labor was assured
by the Republican party in its plat
form accepted by the national con-
vention in Cleveland. The platform
pledges continued progressive reduc-
tion of taxes, rigid economy in govern
ment and promises protection against
undue exacti0ns.

\ "To the Republican party goes the
credit of being the leader in the cam
paign for national legislation to pro-
tect the children. 1t was the party
that enacted the first federal child
labor law" Mrs. Hert said. 'The Re-
publican platform commended con-
gress for its prompt adoption Of the
recommendation of President Coolidge
authorizing congress to pass protective
child labor legislation. 1t also urged
the prompt consideration Of the amend
ment by the legislatures of the vari-
Gus states.
"This law, when ratified, will afford
nationwide protection for child work
erS.
1.-The average woman of today is
worker. She either works to support
herself and those dependent upon her
or she works to make the family in
come buy as many comforts for her
family as possible.
1.-THE last federal census showed
that out of 572 occupations, only 35
did not have women workers. Women
have entered the realm of industry
and they must be carefully protected.
The action of the Republican platform
in favoring high standards of wage,
working and living conditions among
women has received widespread com
mendation.
1.-THE election of President Coolidge
and Mr.. Dawes, supported by Repub-
lican congress, will mean continued
prosperity for the average home"

Even Into Wilderness Of Jerseys Woods
Modern Merchandising Follows the Crowd
Food Shantes For Automobiles Now Being Replaced By Extension
Of Up-To-Date Methods

Nowadays" says Henry Kohl.
president of the National Grocery
Company, while the shyster grocery
shack has not been driven entirely out
of the camping territory of North
Jersey, almost everywhere Mrs. Camp
er can get her food supplies from the
very same grocer she patronizes and
knows at home. The chain grocery
store system, coupled with the subur-
ban bus lines, is solving this peculiar
summer problem by planting units in
the villages which are always within
easy walking distance, or a short bus
ride, from the camps.
'We run these stores, naturally, on
exactly the same principles as those
we operate in the larger towns and
cities. We couldn't afford to do other
wise Most of the campers in North
Jersey are sthe people who live in the
North Jersey cities. A woman who is
a customer of our stores in Jersey
City feels like meeting an old friend
when she finds, on setting up camp
alongside the Passaic River way up
in Passaic County where it is fit to
swim in, that she can get her groceries
in store with the same sign over the
door, and the same sort of service in
side, that she is used to at home.
Conditions Have Improved
"She knows by experience the dan
gers to health that lurk in the happy
go-lucky way we like to live in the
summer time. The kind of grocery
that fourished in the camping country
few years ago was as bad, in its
way, as the unknown drinking water
and the lack OF sanitary facilities that
prevailed. Now they have all been
bettered She knows she can buy her
food from responsible, experienced
grocers who have something to lose
if she is not satisfied with the food
OF the service she gets"
Palisadian., 1924-08-15

City folks who go camping by thou-
sands during the summer i'll the Jersey
woods and hills have to eat. Out
West, in the great open spaces, where
camping is camping, some of the for-
aging for "chow" can be done with
rod and gun; and for the rest of the
grub-rustling, pack burro has to
carry in load of flour and bacon,
coffee and canned stuff.
I But campers in Jersey elbow each
other for room, and most of them COM
mute to business the same as if they
were living in town, except for the
sacred two-weeks' vacation. So Mrs.
Camper has to 'go to the store" just
as if she were at home, two flights up
in the Crowded Arms Apartments on
Pueblo Street, three minutes from the
Lackavania railway station.
''Tent Show" Grocery Store
There being the need, stores have
sprung UP in the wilderness to meet it.
For years, these part-time grocery and
general stores had a character as
marked and dark as the old-time all
night lunch wagon.
Pa was the lucky member of the
family because he could at least get
his lunch at his regular restaurant in
town For the rest, what was sup
piled from the wayside grocery store
ruined appetites. digestions and tenn
pers. The store was fy-by-night
makeshift, the proprietor invariably
wasn't grocer; he was simply the
ballyhoo type, out to make nimblc
dollar out OF people on their holidays.
Whether he did it with tent show,
tray of tin whistles or shelf full of
cast-off groceries was ali one to him.

WOMEN OUT TO
BEAT 1920 VOTE

Women are getting down to
the business Of voting.
Statistics show that approxi-
. mately 25 per cent of the women
eligible to vote, actually voted
. in 1920. This means only about
one out of every four.
In 1920 one state had 3,462,379
voting citizens, her total vote
was 1000, 1853. What about the
, 1,372,411 who did not vote?
The women's bureau of the>
. Republican National committee,
with headquarters in Chicago,
. has just issued an appeal to the
women asking them to see that
every eligible voter in their
. families goes to the polls on
registration day.
. Women are out to round up
the "civic slackers." and this

SENATOR STANLEY
FOES BEGIN FIGHT
Kentuckian Regarded, However,
as Too Firmly Intrenched to
Be Defeated for Post.

| LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 1s.-Now
that Kentucky Is safely tucked away
| in the McAdoo vest pocket. despite
| a threat by Underwood supporters to
contest the unit rule at the New
York convention and make a fight
for the two delegates instructed for
| the Alabaman in the ninth congress
sional district, attention in political
Kentucky turns to the senatorial and
congressional races.
The fight on Senator Augustus
Owsley Stanley, candidate for renom-
ination, broke out last week in his
own congressional district, the one
that sent him to Congress for a num-
Der of terms before he stepped up
to the governors chair and then to
the senatorial. Stanley was indorsed
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation by his home county's conven-
ton. but the organization which sup
ported him was thrown out in the
district convention and Democrats
opposed to the state Democratic ma
chine and Stanley were seated on the
state committees.
Stanley is considered strongly in
trenched because of his alignment
with the state administration, and it
is not believed that the opposition
The name of Judge I. III. Thurman
of Springfield. who is considered the
leader of the administration or
progressive forces in the state, has
been mentioned as a possible entrant
in the senatorial primary in case for
mer Senator j. c. W. Beckham does
not run.
Another peculiar twist which was
noticed at the state convention, which
indorsed McAdoo, was the adoption
of resolution aimed at the Ku Klux
Klan, declaring that the Democratic
party has always stood for civil and
religious liberty, and that it opposes
every effort from any source which
seeks to prescribe citizens because of
race or religion.
In the congressional races most
interest centers in the succession
to the seat of John w. Langley, under
two-year sentence to Atlanta. Lang
ley's appeal will not be filed until
October, and it is not expected that
there can be a decision in the case
before election day. Maj. Don w.
Seitz of Ptkeville and Scott Duffo of
Whitesburg are candidates for Re-
publican nomination in the tenth dis
trict, which has heretofore been
equivalent to election. No Democrat
has announced.
