National Chairman Will H. Hays is
expected to address the gathering on the

Interested in the election of Hcpub.lcan
Congressmen, but niay touch in his re
marks on the necessity of a united

conference held In the Manufacturers'
Club last night by Senator Sproul, Sen
ator Vare and Congressman Vare, Sheriff
Harry C. Itansley, chairman of the Re
publican City Committee, and James M.

"We met Senator Sproul to discuss
with him tho coming campaign In Phll
ade.phla," was the explanation clven
by Senator Vare concerning the confer-4
ence with Senator Sproul.
It has been no secret In political cir
cles for some time that the Vares expect

full charge of the local end of the
Sprou, campaign.
Senator Vare Is understood to have
given his pledge to Senator Sproul to
upport him for Governor during the
session of the last Legislature. The
. Vares, however, never declared them
selves un.il primary day for fear of In
curring the wrath of Governor Brum
baugh who was desirous of their support
for Highway Commissioner O'Nell.

All of the candidates on the State
ticket have been Invited to attend the
city commltteo meeting next Wednes

the Vare forces. In return for the com
pliment extended to tho candidates the
State Commltteo has Invited the Vare
committee to attend its meeting.
The A'ares, It is announced, will sup

and legislative candidates nominated In

i the Vare and antl-Vare candidates are
to be Included In the list of Senator

ments have been made to conduct as

cargo that was to be delivered at Genoa.
Italy, for the Allies. Cuctoms officers
Inspecting the cargo found the ferro
cerlum and an Investigation led to the

Assistant United States District At
torney Kremp declared the Government
has evidence that Mohand bought, the
(inflammable materials for $80 a few
days before he took them aboard the
vessel. Mr. Kremp explained that be
cause of the combustible character ot the

I Tho act of Mohand In attempting to

Stenographers and "vacations"
and The Ediphone
Here they are right ahead vacations. Usually
they mean one of two things : ' 'substitutes, ' '
or correspondence snarled up owing to
doubling up of work. And it's worse this
year office staffs already are short. Add
that to "vacations" and you are facing a
tidy problem if you are depending upon
the shorthand system.
If you would really like some intelligent help
this year help that you will tie-to for all
year service you will take the few
minutes necessary to find out why The
Ediphone has replaced shorthand in thou
sands of business offices. To the everlasting
comfort and efficiency of the stenographer
and the "boss."
