HAYS BIDS FOR WOMEN’S VOTES IN TALK HERE ' National Chairman Dishes Out Platter of Promises at Columbia Club. PARTY PROGRAM GIVEN that republican success will mean an honest, efficient, economical business administration; the reduction of taxes; the development of better relations between capital and labor; the spreading of the war debt over a long period of time, and the strict administration of law and order. Will H. Hays, republican national chairman, addressed members of the Columbia club and their guests at the club today. In the course of his speech Mr. Hays paid special attention to the coming of women into politics and told in detail what he believed the party offers them. He told the women that he is not asking that all of them become republicans. He said It is not so Important to belong to some- particular party as to belong to some party. He emphasised his statement, which he has repeated In nearly every speech since he has been national chairman, that what is needed is not less politics, but more attention to politics. WOMEN ON EQUAL BASIS WITH MEN. "The republican party offers the women everything we offer the men.” he said. “The only just rule for a political party is that the rights of participation in the management of the party's affairs must bo and remain equally sacred and sacredly equal. The republican women come Into the party activity not as women but as voters, entitled to participate and participating Juwt as other voters.” Mr. Hays said tbs activity of the women is not secondary or supplementary. but that they are units of the party jnst as the men. He said there will be no separate women's organization in Hie party, except only In those cases where such an arrangement may be needed temporarily as an efficient aid to complete amalgamation. “It is entirely up to the party membership to sav what the party’s purpose shall be, what Its policies shall become,” Mr. Hays continued. “This fundamentally Is what we offer the women—the chance to express themselves. We have no hard and fast rules, no unalterable list of dogmas which we present to the women and say, ‘There It is. Take it or leave it.' PARTY PROGRAMS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. “Party programs must alwavs be subject to amendment and change by the responsible living thought expressed within the party by men and women dike. Through It all, however, must run the supreme motif, and in the republican party that supreme motif Is and always shall be the honest, patriotic and intelligent effort too promote and safeguard the best Interest of the republic and its citizens. “Onr problems are largely economic. The Industrial difficulties In this country, which at the moment seem to be can be and, I have implicit faith, will be. solved In one way—by finding exact Justice and enforcing It. “It is simply a matter of Roosevelt's ‘square deal’—exact Justice for labor, exact Justice for capital, and exact justice for the public. To that end we must develop a reasonable method for honest and efficient labor to acquire an Interest In the business to which labor is expected to give Its best efforts. Pending this development, the equilibrium between production and wages must be established and there must be justice for all—exact Justice, the justice of right and of ieason “Justice for all—and do not forget that the American people still know what exact Justice is. TAKES RAP AT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

“There must be strong federal regulation, but not government ownership. We have always endeavored and still shall endeavor to find that middle ground so well defined as between ‘the anarchy of an unregulated Individualism and the deadening formalism of an inefficient and widespread state ownership.' "No exigency, however serious, will present to this nation an Insurmountable crisis. Every problem Is solvable. Readjustment demands the best there Is In us as a nation, mentally and spiritually. We shall adhere to the true, clean thing, and never abandon our high ideals. Dead branches fall from the live oak during the hurricane. The fiber of the tree tightens and the roots drive deeper into the soil. This nation Is a success: it is s ti]l the hope of the world: It must be made a yet greater blessing to the sons of m<-n. Let all well wishers of good government, regardless of party affiliations, let all those who love their country and its institutions, listen now for a moment, listen with eyes aloft, listen to the voice of experience and the call of inspiration from the spirit of America, which was Washington and Lincoln and Roosevelt—listen and hear from them the call: 'Carry on. Americans! Carry! Carry on! Carry cn!’ “KEEP TOUK FEET ON SOLID GROUND.” "Keep your eyes raised, Americans, but keep your feet on solid ground, Find the reason for discontent and meet it squarely: correct the cause where there is a cause and mercilessly destroy the excuse where there Is an excuse only. Find exact justice and demand it—demand It for all men and require it from all men. Remember the stuff you are made of. Remember the heritage which Is yours. Remember and be encouraged. "The manhood and womanhood of Ameirca are sound. The stress of late date has strained all overmuch. Be patient with one another, but as you value your country’s future, wait not a moment to realize the emergency nor longer delay your action. Each one Is equally responsible. Stop and look within. Look, each one. to your own industry and thrift. Look t your own conscience and moral responsibility. In tbe whirl and storm about you seize on common sense and good conscience. Holding fast, then lift yourselves from tbe maelstrom of unrest and regain for yourself your own sound judgment—and then reach for others as they are whirled by. "Yes. forget not the others who are about you. It is as dangerous now as It was Just outside the walls of Eden to ask In surprise, ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ Remember we nil go up or " * ?o down together. The great Power whir-h Is the Spirit of Amrir* must not tolerate any attempt to array group against group, section against sec tlon, or sect against sect. Guard against this as you would against a pestilence; the nation has no greater enemy than one who would thus divide the country against itself.

Suppose All This Snow Had Fallen Here the Same Day A statistical fiend figured up our present winter's snows, and here are the results: Eight billion, three hundred and seventy-one million, seven hundred and forty-two thousand and forty pounds of snow fell in Indianapolis up to March 1. It amounted to 1,341,685.600 cubic feet. The statistician learned that the average cubic foot of snow weighs 6.24 pounds. This, the aren of the city in square feet, and weather information. enabled him to reach his conclusions. Armed with these stupendous figures, he asked Weather Observer J. H. Armlngton why there was such au unusual amount of snow this winter. “It was just a little above normal.” answered Mr. Armlngton. “For the last five months the fall of snow was 24.7 inches, and the normal amount Is 23 4 inches.”

WATSON WINS IN KENTUCKY, BUT THERMS ONE ‘IF’ Delegation Will Go for James Eli, Providing Will Hays Doesn’t Block Game. Bq a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, March 4.—For the benefit of those who want to know what has really happened In Kentucky's republican camp It might as well be said now as after awhile that the boosters of Senator .Tames Ell Watson of Indiana for the presidency have carried this state. Os course, the Kentucky delegation will not go to the Chicago convention instructed for Watson. They will go as unlnstructed delegates, with a prearranged signal in accordance with which they will break for Watson whenever the political bosses who are manipulating things want them to do so. There Is only one small fly in the ointment. That fly is the ambition of Will H. Hays to have the Chicago convention stampeded to him Instead of Watson, as It was originally planned last May. “FULSOME EULOGY” ALLOWED BY HAYS. Hays has done his best to see that the delegates are not unfavorable to him. He has allowed a "fulsdtne enlogy” to flow from his lips into the proud ears of Tobe Hert. republican boss of Ken tucky and he has placed a few "national committee employes” where they will do the most good for Hays when It comes down to convention manipulation. But the Watson crowd is not particularly worried by Hays's efforts. They are depending on the success of their original stampede plans and they believe they will be able to control Hays when the time comes. Kentucky has been the state In which Charles Warren Ealrbgnks did the speaking and Joseph B. Kealing did the steering for the old stand pat crowd Fairbanks is no longer here to do the speaking, but there appears to have been nothing wrong with the rest of the program. G. O. V. PAPERS # PRAISE HERT. Tobe Hert is now receiving the praise of the most of the old-line standpat republican papers and a number of others. He Is an Indiana man who was invited ! into Kentucky politics by the crowd that needed a state manager whom they could control. Hert went there and with the assistance of several other Tndianians succeeded in building up a powerful organization on the foundations laid In the days when Kentucky repubi llcans used to be the tai! to the Fairbanks kite. The organization is said to Ibe airtight. It has been strengthened by the help of Wil! Hays and the na tional organization and it is a shining example of bow the standpat organization does things. There Is no longer any need to’overlook the fact that Watson is In the most ; logical position to grab the republican nomination for president. Kentucky shows bow it can be done. When the Chicago convention commences the oliini nation of bidders for the nomination, it , will be apparent that the candidates who have received pledged delegations in the primaries will not be able to win (Continued on Page Four.)

JERSEY BEGINS ACTION AGAINST U. S 1 DRY LAWS Files Bill of Complaint on 18th Amendment in Supreme Court. ATTACKS ON 7 COUNTS BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, March 4.—By an overwhelming vote the house today refused to repeal the Volstead prohibiiton law. The action came on a motion of Representative Egan, democrat, New Jersey, to discontinue all prohibition appropriations July 1 and to repeal the Volstead enforcement law at that time.

WASHINGTON, March 4.—The of New Jersey filed today in the United States supreme court a bill of complaint asking that the prohibition amendment and the Volstead enforcement act be declared null and void. Joseph A. Lanlgan, assistant attorney general of New Jersey, filed the bill, which was drawn by Attorney General McCran by the authority of Gov. Edwards, elected on a “wet” platform last November. One of the objects of the suit is to prevent United States Attorney General : Palmer and Internal Revenue Commis- ! sloner Roper from enforcing the Volstead act In New Jersey. Attorney General McCran will appear in supreme court Monday to proceed with the suit. SETS OUT REASONS FOR THE ACTION. New Jersey charges that the Eighteenth amendment is null and void for these reasons: That the Eighteenth amendment is not proper under Article 5 of the Constitution. There is no power In congress to propose an amendment regulating conduct and morals and that Article 5 permits only such amendments as are aiteratlous or additions within the acope of the constitution. That there is no power in the state to ratify an amendment such as the eighteenth. That two-thirds of the members of both 1 houses of congress "did not deem such an amendment necessary," within the true | intent and meanlug of article V of the : constitution. That the prohibition contained In the , amendment Is legislative matter under ! article I of the constitution and not properly an amendment under article V. That as legislative tuatter It was not properly passed by congress and submitted to the people of the United States, , and is therefore void and of no effect. RATIFICATION HELD j FAULTY IN 21 STATES.

Tbat in twenty- on* slates, South Dakota, Oregon, Nevada, Montana. Oklahoma, Maine, Missouri, Michigan, Axkan a, A'olorado, Arizona, California, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota. Washington, Mississippi, Utah, Massachusetts, Maryland and New Mexico, the legislatures have not ratified is provided by the constitution of such states nnd that therefore three-fourths of tbe states hare hot ratified in the constitutional sense. That the alleged eighteenth amendment establishes a centralization of power and authority without the consent of the people of tlie state of New Jersey and Is unalterable and unret'orinahle a* ■'ill times by them, and Is therefore Inconsistent with fundamental purposes expressed. In the preamble of the con stltutlour “to form a more perfect union and to secure the blessings of liberty lo posterity," and establishes a precedent whereby no powers will be reserved to the respective states as provided In Article l of the constitution because tb<reserve powers of the several states mry lie annulled nnd destroyed under the guise and pretense of amending the constitution.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1920,

Relief and Anxiety Registered After Sitting for Photo Relief That Its Over; Anxiety as to ‘How They'll Looks? ‘When Can I Get 'Em?' In that moment of surprise and relief when the photographer, without apparently having done a thing to make a picture, reverts from an exacting and domineering manner to his usual sauve and courteous self, what does one usually say? A few Indianapolis photographers recall hearing the following remarks on such occasions: O. T. BENNETT, 1122 Prospect street: “How did I look?” “Didn't 1 move a little?" “When can I get ’em?” I. A. WELLS, REX PHOTO COMPANY, 436 Massachusetts avenue: A young woman said to me, the other day, “I know you photographers get blamed for lots of homely faces that you can't help, but won’t you do all you can for me?” F.

MACK, 1 1 West Market street: Women often ask when they can get the pictures and men say, “Is that all?" JOHN G. HILL, 1924 West Michigan street: Most persons seem surprised that the ordeal can be finished so quickly. Others sigh and say, “Well, Pm glad that’s done.
