Opposition to Movement Re.
ported to Have Died Down

Opposition to the closing of the
stores for four hours on the after
noon Of September 20. when the
monument dedication parade and ex-
ercises will be under way. practically
died out yesterday afternoon when
those opposed to the plan held fur
ther discussion.
The recommendation. made by the
directors OF the Mercantile Bureau
of the Chamber OF Commerce, that
stores close between the hours Of 2
and 6 on that afternoon. was mailed
to all the stores in the city yesterday.
The discussion on Main street and
intersecting business streets ranged
all the way from the men who were
not going to close at all. to those
who advocated closing all day.
Among those who were not sure
they would accept the recommends
ton. or that their firms would per-
init their accepting it, were the man.
ayers of some Of the city's chain
stores.
An unofficial conference was held
among those opposed and 1t was
decided to adopt the recommended
ton. when 1t was pointed out that
the resentment on the part Of the
public was apt to be bitter against
those who stayed open.
The suggestion of closing all day
was considered as one which would
defeat its own purpose, and as re-
suit the agreement to close from 2
until has been reached.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
THE VETERAN

The veterans of the World War as
should be duly appreoiative Of what
the Republican party has done for
their relief and benefit, and the head
of the Republican ticket, Secretary
Hoover, has taken a firm and plain
stand for a continued and enlarged
policy of assistance towards the relief
of the veteran and for these reasons
the veterans, their families and friends
shuld support the Republican ticket
from top to bottom.
We quote Herbert Hoover as fol
lows:
"Our country owes an everlasting
debt of gratitude to the veterans Of
the World War. 1t was my privilege
to see at first hand their sacrifices,
idealism and unselfish service in their
heroism not only made possible the
winning of the war but will furnish
inspiration for young America tio.l
years to come. 1 have observed with
genuine sympathy the solution by the
Republican administration of the prob
lens of the disabled soldiers and de-
rendents. 1t Is my desire that the con-
structive and intelligent service now
being rendered by the veterans bureau
be continued and enlarged and that
generous Interpretation be made OF
the many laws enacted for the relief
of the veteran"
In addition to the fact that Mr..
Hoover has pledged himself to the sol
ution Of the veterans problems, the
several million veterans votes OF the
country should give due consideration
to the fact that the Republican party
unstinted in its relief for the veteran
up to this time and may be expected
to continue so in the future. The toll
lowing are briefly some Of the things
the Republican party has done Tor inc
veteran.
The expenditures of Congress ior
the benefit Of all our veterans no"

aggregate $75o,OoO,o00 annually. In.
creased hospital facilities have beer
provided, payments and compensation
have more than doubled and in the
matter of rehabilitations, pensions and
insurance generous provision has been
made. In administration of laws deal
ing with the relief of veterans and
their dependents have been a difficult
task, but every effort has been made
to carry service to the veteran and
bring about not only a party and
generous Interpretation of the law,
but a sympathetic consideration OF
the many problems of the veteran.
Full and adequate relief for our dis
abled veterans is our aim and we re-
commend the action of Congress in
further liberalizing the laws applicable
to veterans relief. We believe that in
time of war the nation should draft for
its defense not only its man power
but also every resource which may
contribute to success and to stabilize
the prices of service and essential
commodities to insure the veterans
at shome working to keep the boys or
the front with their necessities lnsur'
ing these workers at home safety from
local graft and war prices in Their
necessities.
The record of the Republican adj
NJ nistration during the past seven
years has been excellent for the bene-
f.t of the veterans for dependence and
friends and this position will continue
to be maintained and developed by
the election of Herbert Hoover and
with a Republican President a Re-
publican Congress and with a Repub-
lican Congress a Republican Cover
nor a Republican legislature and local
Republican officials.
The only political organization OF
the ex-service men in the Republican
party urges that all veterans and their
friends vote the straight Republican
ticket.
