1,000 ATTEND LOVE FEAST OF G. 0, P. MEMBERS

Speech by Will Hays Center of Interest Many Women Attend.

Beede-Ballard Engagement Is Announced Today

By DON WARFEL BROOKVILLE, Ind., Aug. 2 More than a thousand Republicans, from all parts of the state, turned what was intended to be a Sixth District rally into a general state meeting, at Magnesia Springs near Brookville, Friday. Politicians and officials prominent In the Republican party joined with members of the party from the Sixth

district In making the affair the larg

est of its kind ever held in the dis trict

Approximately fifty Republican edit

ors attended the meeting of the State

Editors' association, which was held

in connection with the meeting.

Although the affair was primarily a

"handshaking love feaat," a strong

undercurrent of political feeling was manifested. The Interest of the meeting was centered on the speech by Will Hays. Republican national chairman, who said he would not become a candidate for governor. Hays was also the center of interest throughout the entire meeting. Women Attended Many women attended and considerable interest was taken in a speech by Miss Mary Sleeth, of Rushville, who pointed out the necessity that women should line up with one of the political parties of the country. The fact that the government of the United States is administered through political parties was given by Miss Sleeth as the reason why women should affiliate with one of the political parties If they wanted to Institute reforms. As a supporter of the Republican party, Miss Sleeth showed the claims that the party has to the women's vote of the country. Of the states that had voted on the suffrage amendment, according to Miss Sleeth, the only two to reject the measure were Democratic states, and all of the states accepting the amendment so far were Republican. Many state officials attended the meeting, as well as district party workers from other districts in the state. With the exception of the Sth district, the Fourth district, which included about 100 persons from Decatur county, formed the largest delegation to the meeting. Comstock Makes Address Paul Comstock, of Richmond and Claude Kltterman, of Cambridge City, addressed the meeting, giving accounts of experiences with the American army abroad. Comstock, who served as a major in the U. S. army, declared that the American soldier would measure political candidates by the same qualities as were used to measure a good soldier. The soldier's opportunity to view the workings of

various foreign governments and con

trast them with our own government would make him more discriminating, according to Comstock. Kltterman spoke of the soldier as a "gentleman, first, last and all the

time." He told of experiences while serving with the Y. M. C. A. in France, with the American army. Morning rains prevented a large number from attending the meeting, but in spite of the drizzle, which continued throughout the greater part of the morning, the crowd numbered will over a thousand before dinner was served. Automobiles started coming into the grounds before ten o'clock in the morning, and by noon, the space reserved for parking cars had been filled, and the machines spread out to other parts of the grounds. Wayne Delegation Largest Wayne county probably had the largest delegation of any county, including the Richmond City band which offered a program of popular musis during the noon hour. Fayette county was also largely represented, and brought the only other band that attended the meeting. Among the prominent Republicans of the state, who attended the meeting were: Mayor Jewitt, of Indianapolis; Ed Toner, of Anderson; Joseph Kealng, former U. S. District attorney; P. J. Lynch, of Newcastle; L. S. Bowman; Will Adams and L. M.

I Sore Throat May Be Diphtheria;- Should Be Reported Ziegler People of Richmond are urged to report to their physicians at the slightest symptoms of sore throat, by Dr. M. V. Ziegler, of the United States Public Health service, who has been called, as the federal Epldemilogical aid to the State of Indiana, by Richmond health authorities in an effort to stamp out the cases of diphtheria, now in the city. "Although the situation here is not alarming at present, there is a large number of people in the city susceptible to the disease," Dr. Ziegler said. "The diphtheria rate in Richmond has been very low for the last ten years, and this caused a new crop of "suspects," who are liable to cause a general epidemic." Dr. George H. Hunt, city health officer, and Dr. J. M. Bulla, county health officer, have received a supply of culture tubes from the state board of health. People who have sore throat, are also urged by the federal agent, to call their physician to their home, rather than visit him at his

office, as they are liable to spread infection even in this way. Under direction of the federal agent, the rigid quarantine by the health officers will be maintained. Dr. Ziegler will continue his Investigation here next Monday.

KNOWLEDGE OF LABOR IS HELD NEEDED POLICY

"We must make it our business to get educated on subjects that pertain to labor; we must cultivate a new sense of personal loyalty; we must stand against conscription; we must stand against militarism; we must gain new sympathy for the men and women who live by the power of their arms," said Norman Thomas, in summing up some of the most needed policies for a better, safer and happier world, at Earlham college Saturday morning, before the final open lecture of the Young Friends' conference. "Instead of using a process of education and re-education, in correcting the evils of the world, we put men in Jail where they have plenty of opportunity to think up new evils," he said. "If you do not believe this, go to jail yourself and try it." Stand by Convictions. "I say you should stand by your

convictions; cultivate a new sense of personal loyalty. Do not forever be guided by that sometimes good maxim, 'Safety First.' So long as conscription endures, men are not

free, and we need something more of democracy that we perhaps feel when we are very good natured and at prayer meeting." Need Sympathy with Labor "I think we need an immense amount of sympathy with the laborer, and when we hear of a strike not to

jump quickly to denial of its rightfulness by the first newspaper report we hear, but to get the facts and think, think about the men and women who toil with their hands and their arms, and go and talk to the people in any party which you think wSH help you see things right." Thomas treated with the methods of social change he believes possible through other means than violence, to which he said he was opposed as a means to an end. "I do not say that no good has ever come after war or other violence, but I do say that I think it more likely that it came in spite of the violence rather than because of it. Violence is

a weapon, a tool, if you like. I do not think it has worked with the labor situation in America." Parliament of Guilds. A parliament of guilds to settle the common things of producers and attempt to aply to old guild theory to present conditions was given by Thomas as one of his greatest hopes for the future. Such a parliament would get rid of bureaucracy, and would consider the fact that men are not only producers but consumers. The international possibilities of such a system are a little weak, but with that it seems to me the most rational system. It has never been tried out, of course, but a recent aproach to it was started in England with the industrial parliaments," said he.
