WASHINGTON', Sept. 25 Easing: of the credit situation to a. considerable, extent will result from the lower range of prices now prevailing in leading trade lines, according to the opinion ex pressed today by Edmund Piatt, vice governor of the Federal Reserve Board.

Is at the bot tom of the present lower rrice trend Mr. Flatt indicated. Commenting upon the plea of manu facturers that they cannot sell below cost of production, followed by requests that the government relax its credit re strictions, he indicated that such inter. ests must get out of the habit of re lying upon government aid.

We Have Had Enough of Autocratic Government Says G. 0. P. Candidate.
BV GEORGE R. HOLMES J .UAMION, O., Sept. 25. Before a Steat outpouring of traveling salemen. who came from all over te" country on special trains and car Senator Wan en Hard'r.g todv pronounced a sharp indictment against the W,i..-n administrat.cn for drivmg the nat on toward ecomichaos and he pledged his administration, if elected, to a partnership witu American business. 2.OO0 HEAR SPEECH. More than 2,ono traveling menthronged about the Hardng- front porch to heaf the spe,.cn. Thy cap,r; fi"m nearly al! the larffer cjties of tV. ea.u and midwest. New York and Chicago sent special trains, as did Cleveland, Cincinati, Toledo, Dayton and Oolunibus. From Boston. Phi'a-. delphia. Indianapolis. Springfield. Akron. Canton and I'rbana came special ca rs. Senator Harding addreffsPd t;1e salesmen as ambassadors of business and the bearers of ideas and he skl them to take a message to the American people. STABILITY I Bt IES, "1 know, he said, what Is in yur minds today. You want stability enc? more for American business, you want trjat confidence and security which will put an end to anxiety about production; an end to fear about buying; an end to uncertainty about , delivei y and distribution. No abiding commircial ediftee was ever builded on the changing sands of uncertainty. "Everywhere, there is the opinion that we have enough of autocratic government, unwilling to heed counsel and advice.' 1 want it explicitly understood that my election means a coi.ipici cnange rrom the one man policy that has characterized our national government for the past seven years. DRIVEN TOWARD fHAOJ "We ha-, e been driven tow ard chaos, not only by the unsuccessful attempts to mortgage American rights abroad and to check American nationality and honor at the cloak-room of ths president's league of nations at Geneva, but we have been driven toward chaos at home. "It has "becTn common knowledge that there are between 700. not) and goo onn persons on the payroll of til" V. S. who will be kept there unless we have a new agreement. REPIBIICASS SAVED D Y. "Only an intelligent opposition prevented the present administration from spending over $ 11. ""9,000 in peace year. Only republican opposition to this reckless program reduced the appropriations more than one? third and saved the. people an amount greater than the cost of the whole civil war. Democratic administration of the railroads cost the people an amount almost equal that spent by us from 1S61 to 1S65 to presere th? union. . "A nation which prides itself on K business sense has been forced to 359 its government twisted into a monstrosity of waste and slipshodiness. "An administration which could no, attend to its own business well with( new- economic theories, with experiments, with activities in whtch it was never intended government should, participate, and with laws and executive orders which failed to curb profiteering or contribute to our hih standard of American business has recahed out its hindering hands in menace to American business anl prosperity. "From that unfortunate picture we must now turn away. "Of one man government we have had enough. We call aloud for the meeting of minds of an united country. , "I like to think oC a government friendly to American business and unwilling to indulge itself in irritatir.se suspicion and interference. I look forward to a government which will have the sense to keep out of activities wh'ch good, old American genius" and initiative can do better. "1 do not want to see American government engaging in American business, but I do want to see Amerlcarr government a partcer and friend to American business. " I want to see American business methods and efficiency in American government. I look forward to such cessation of wastes ad extrs-vagance in Washington as will enable us to cut down taxation, as. for instance, the excess profits tax. T look forward to a working budget system. "It is this expression, which addr?ed t all Americans, I ask yiu to car;y. wherever you go." M WILL IT WORK Pity the authorities of East C h :t-i. - upon whom falls the duty of enforcing the prohibition laws. On Alexander avenue in East Chicago is the courtroom of a justice of the peace with large letters painted on' the window pane proclaiming tn-i; fact.
