And there are some things in .Mrs. Parkhurst's platform I do not agree with. I am a strong advo- cate of personal liberty, and going on the dry platform is not going to help the country. Also, 1 think the idea of compensation for mothers {s a little impracticable. Regardless of her ‘platform, however, I do not fa vor a woman candidate this_time. “I am for anybody—man or woman —who will help to remove the po- litical disabilities of women,” com- mented Mrs. Theodore W.

HARRISBURG, Pa., July 15.—Al- though the democratic state commit- tee has arranged to open the state campaign during the coming week and send spelibinders into the coun- try districts throughout the remain- der of the summer, Gifford Pinchot has declined to change plans and only following .a vacation at Block Island will begin a series of speech- making trips.” Mr. Pinchot will be moving continuously from late Jn August, when he will*speak at a re- publican gathering in Lehigh county. Both parties have been busy this week in laying the channeis for the gathering of campaign funds, and ganizations, such as the Anti-Saloon national chairman, has started the democratic fund of $75,000 with a 1,000 check.

A tempest has been creatcd by letter firom the democratic stutc neadquarters advising democratic congressionul and legislative candi- tates to refrain from answering ques- tionnaires sent them by state-wide organizations, the suggestion being that only such as came from constit- uents should be answered. The State League of Women Voters has taken up the burden of replying and some cart letters have been sent the demo- cratic chairman. Other state-wide or- ganizations, such as the Amti-Saloon League and various bodies committed to specific legislation have apparently been awaiting the result of the wom- en’s league reply. LUMBERMEN’S FIGURES TO AID FEDERAL SERVICE National Association Offers. All Statistics for Use of Depart- ' ment of Commerce. With a view to co-operating with ‘the Department of Commerce in it efforts to stabilize business, the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers’ As: ciation has placed at the service of the government the whole statistical organization of the body, it was an- nounced yesterday at local headquar- ters of the association. In a letter to the newly established trade relations division of the de- partment Wilson Compton, secretary of the association, has offcred to the government all the trade information that the lumber manufacturers com- pile for themselves. In this way the date will probably become public be- fore Individual members of the asso- ciation receive them, it is stated. 1t is they conviction of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association that if the Department of Commerce chooses to act favorably on its offer to complete statistical co-operation with the government, other industrial follow suit, poulble to present to the business world periodically &n accurate current statistical picture of the commercial movement of the country. It is hoped that such information, wisely diffused, will help to avoid the excesses of in- dustrial activity which are one of the great contributing causes to alternat- ing periodical business depressions.

INDIANA MAY YLEAD | INPRAARY REPEAL .. Slight Chance Said to De- pend on Biparitsan Leg- islative Move. Special Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind,, July 15.—Re- ports that a pation-wide effort is on ! to repeal the direct primary law in various states has led to a deal of speculation as to whut may happen in Indiana when the legislature meets. One of the stories afloat is to the effect that there will be a better chance to repeal the law n'| the democrats control one branch of congrol the other. The idea is that! if both parties should have a hand in the repeal of the law both would suffer equally from any political re- action that might be incurred. The election of Albert J. Beveridge, republican nomince for United States senator, It is expected, would make for the safety of the law. Mr. Beveridge primary in poiitical followers in’ the Skislature began the fight for the di- vect primary nearly twenty years ago. Generally, it 18 beiieved that ¢ Me- ‘ray would sign a repeal bill. At uime ot the lust iegi e sexssion he | xpressed an opin.on unfavo to the | lirect primary, and u vigorous effort | A48 made to 1epeal the law at | ime. Mr. Beveridge took { 1 behalf of the iaw, and m ions waited on the legislature, There is no question but that the lirect primary, so far as poiitical lead- s of both parties go, is weaker in diana now than it was five vears uago, Most political observers believe thure wil be a better chance to repeal the aw in the coming legislature than there ¥as in the last session, but nobody is vredicting to a certainty that it will be | epealed. Women P! At a conferen Miss Gertrude F. thet the stump delega- Meetings. a few days ago McHugh, secretary of the democrafic state committee Mrs. James Riggs, democratic na- | iional committeewoman for Indiana, und Mrs. Adelbert Fiynn. vice chair- nan of the state committee, arranged for meetings of democratic county soman vice chairmen in con- sressional district in the state. Mrs. itiggs and Mrs. Flynn will attend ali »f the meetings. Opinion is express- | :d among the democrats that they | have the lead in an organization way with the woman voters, because the | republicans were slow in getting women into important places in the | state organization. Charles E. Cox of Indianapolis has been engaged by the democratic state committee to represent it in injunc- tion proceedings bronght by R. C Erown of Bedford to prevent the county chairmen of the third distri from naming a congressional date to fill the vacan caused by the death of John W. Ewing of New Albany. Brown was defe: ing in the primary and & the rightful nominee. The meeting ! of the county chairmen which had been. set for last Monday has been | deferred unti] after hearing is had | in the injunction case. Tt is not like- | ly that any step will be taken prior to July 20, the return date set in the summons. The case is in the Lawrence Circuit Court before Judge James M. Cox, who issued the re- straining order preventing action by the county chairmen. G. 0. P. Committee Picked. It was predicted this week that the men to be named by Lawrence Lyons, republican state chairman, as mem- bers of the executive committee of the | state committee would be Bert Thur- man, collector of internal revenue and formerly chairman of the third district; John Owens of Noblesville, manager of the campaign of Senator Watson in 1920: Mayor Ora Davis of Terre Haute. W. C. Bobbs of Indian- apolis and Charles W. Miller of In- dianapolis. Bobbs and Miller are known a. particularly close friends of Mr. Fiv. eridge, while Thurman and Ow are generally eounted as strong Wat- son men. It was also reported that | the woman members of the evecu-| tive committee would be Miss Heler | Benbridge of Terre Haute, D1 | Amelia Keller of Indianapolis. Mra. | Carina Warrington of Fort Wavne, Mrs. Joseph B. Kealing of Indianapo- { 1is and Mrs. E. A. Gould of Peru Dr. Keller was active in the cam paign to nominate Lew Shank for | mayor of Indianapolis and also was | active for Beveridge in the recent ! primary. Mrs. Kealing is the wife of the republican national commit- teeman from Indiana. COL. LONGSTREET DEAD. NG i Went to Cheyenne, Wyo., From | Here Only Ten Days Ago. CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Col.
