COX FOR DIVORCE
(Differs With Clergyman Who
Says He'll Vote for tho

The Itev. Flojd W. Tomkins, com
menting today on the Indorsement of
(rovcrnor Co's nomlnntlon by n New
Jersey clergjmen, said he strongly op-
I posed the election to the presidency of
n divorced man.
Dr. Tomkins, who Is lector of Holy
Trinity UpK'opnl Churih, Is n member
of the executive committee of the So
ciety for I'pholdiug the Sanctity of
Man lage. The clergyman who indorsed
the Co nomination Is general secre
tary of the society. He Is the ltev.
Walter (Jwynne. Summit. X. J
"The presidency of the 1'nited States
In not a position that should lie filled
by n divorced man." said Doctor Tom
kins. "Tho sanctity of the home is a
question of greater importance to the
people of this country todav than the
League of Nations can possibly be.
"fioxernor Cox mny have takeu his
htnnd for the league a significant fact
In the eyes of matiy voters but thnt
step does not outweigh the example of a
broken family life which he lias set.
"The home und the family nre the
heart and soul of our national life nnd
the maintenance of their wholesomencss
nnd purity is essential to our develop
nient nnd prosperity."
Doctor (iwjiine declnred that he
would vote for (inventor Co.x nnd urge
other members of his organization to do
likewise.
"It Is a serious question," he snld,
"but I have holved it for mjself by de
ciding to vote, not for the man primar
ily, but for the overwhelming moral im
portance of the League of Nations.
"The dilemma is between the devil
and the deep sea nml I inliuitely prefer

latter. I simply dioose the lesser evil
nd.hono..that all our clergy will do the
,,. '-1
same.
Doctor Tomkins snid lie feared his
associate hud been misquoted, innsimu h
as their recent correspondence gave no
such ungle on his views.
"In 'choosing between the devil und
the deep sea mself," Doctor Tomkins
said, "I bhnuld certainly put the League
of Nations to one side if It were ueces
sary to keep 11 divorced man from be
coming President of our country."

P. R. T. FARE STUDY
Public Service Commission Con-
sidqring Transfer Abolition
in Executive Session
QUICK DECISION EXPECTED
JU a Staff Corretmilcnl
Ilarrlshurg, July 2ft. The Public
Service Commission took up the question
of the proposed carfare incrensc In
Philadelphia In executive session nt 1 :30
o'clock tills afternoon.
A decision is to be reached on whether
the Philadelphia Itapid Transit Co. Is
to be permitted to abolish free trans
fers end substitute three-cent ex
changes for them.
There is n general impression that
the commission favors the Increase, but
the contract of 11)07 betwien the city
and the transit company may be n big
factor In the decision. In most in
stances where 11 hearing has been held
on proposals of traction companies in
the state to raise fares he commission
has granted the increases.
Philadelphia is one of the few cities
in the state today where there Is a live-
cent carfare in existence. This fact
Is likely to have much weight with the
commission.
Another unglc which mny cut some
figure Is the impression around the
commission ofiices that the recent hear
ings iu Philadelphia ou the proposed
fare increases, were disappoluting.
TRANSFER DECISION
ANXIOUSLY AWAITED
Offiplnls nt tho cltv nrimlnlsfrnHnn
and of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Co. nre anxiously awaiting today the
decision of the ruiillL hcrvlee Commis
sion 011 the application of the company
for the abolition of the free transfer
svsteni. City Solicitor Smyth announced
that If the decision be unfavorable to
the city he is prepaid to lite Imme
diately an appeal to the Superior Court.
This appeal would call for on Injunction
restraining the company from adopting
the new rates.
Preparation of the appeal has been
in charge of Snmuel ,T. Uosenbnum, ns
slstnnt dtj solicitor, who tins hod n
lending part in the citv's tight against
Increased fnres. Mr. Itoseubnum has
the papers in such shape that they can
be finished nnd filed nt once If thnt
course be made necessary by the de
cision of the .(immlsslon
The rival interests In the transit
conipan.v nre looking for 11 decision to
have 11 mnrkid effect on the split be
tween the Stotesbury financial Inter
ests and the Mitten management of the
operating umipanv. This feeling will
be erjstalllzed at a special meeting this
afternoon of the board of directors of
the transit company.
The board will meet for the purpose
of receiving the decision und malting
necessarj plans, and. also, probably
for the purpose of filling the seats
caused by the Ksignntions of Mr.
Stotesbury and his colleagues.
An objection against the proposed
fare lncrens,. was s,.nt to the com
mission by Charles L. Pluck, president
of the Northwest Business Men's As
sociation. "We cannot now agree." Mr. Fluck
wrote, "thnt the company should be
licensed to colli ct nn eight -cent fure
from more than 1 1 per cent of Its totnl
riders, regardless of length of ride or
service rendered in order to continue
the emptv boast of a five-cent carfare.
e do not believe the company is
deserving of nn concessions at this
time, because it has peislstently justi
fied and is now defending the uncon
scionable rentals to underlying com
panies, whiil, repiesent the difference
between bankrupt. nr increased car
fines, hetwein Inadequate service and
well-paid emplojcH, etc."

ASSERTS FARMERS
ARE FOR HARDING
;
Senator Capp6r, 'Farm Journal
Publishor, Doclaroo Agricul
turists Prefer Republicans
DEMOCRATS AID THE SOUTH
Marlon. 0., July 20. The needs ot
western farmers were talked over with
Senntor Harding yestenhy by Senator
Capper, or Kansas, and Henry' Wallace,
of Des Moines, both editors of farm
publications, and iii n statement after
ward Senator Capper declared thn
farmers of the West were "fast real
izing why It Is necessary thnt the He-,
publican ticket be elected,"
To put the Democrats bnck Into
power, the Kansas senntor said, would
be to "turn the government over to the
solid South nud Democratic mnchlnes
of the vnryous TnmmanyUod stntcs of
the North. ''
Arriving nt the Harding home early
In the day, Senator Capper accom
panied Senator nnd Mrs. Harding to
services nt the Methodist church and
remained their guest until evening.
Messaces of rnnprnttilntlnn on the
speech continued to come In one of
them bclmr from Oovernor Frank O.
Lnwden, of Illinois, who wns n leading
candidate fnr thn presidential nnmlnn
tlon nt Chicngo. Oovernor Lowdcn
telegraphed :
"Heartiest congratulations upon your
speech of acceptance. It Is clear,
forceful nnd patriotic."
Message From Muncy
Another which pleased the Harding
managers wns from Frank A. Munsey,
of New York, one of the lenders lu the
t'rogressivc party In mi-. lt
"I congratulate you heartily, Mr,
Munsey wired, "on the splendid recep
tion your speech of acceptance has had
through the entire North."
A delegation from Tcrre Haute. Ind.,
on its wny to the Knights of, Pythias
convention In Cleveland marched to the
Harding lawn In the afternoon in full
regalia nnd, headed by n band, seren
aded the nominee. He shook hands
nnd told his callers he was proud to
be n member of the Pythian order, but
he declined to moke a speech.
8enator Capper's statement blamed
the Democratic administration for
market inequalities favorable to the
cotton and sugar Industries, anil said
Oovernor Cox's nomination for Presi
dent by the Democrat placed the party
under a joint obligation to-southern in
terests nnd tp -be the "bosses 'of the
North. Oovernor Cox, he snld. "In the
eight years he has dominated Demo
cratic politics In Ohio has built a ma
chine based on the Tammany model.
"During the war and since, the
statement continued, "we hnve seen
what southern control means. The
southern statesmen were nil for rlgldls
controlling and limiting the price 011
which thnt compelled the fnrmcrs to
take far less than they would have got
in nn uncontrolled market. Cotton went
to dizzying prices.
Samo Thing In Sugar
"More recently we hnve seen rhe samo
thing In the case of sugar. I know 110
more complete demonstration of Democ
racy's administrative incompetency
than In the story of sugar this year.
"People ore paying up to thirty cents
for sugar, nnd can't get it at that. Yet
there is sugar enough In the country for
till. It is held by speculators in order
to boost the price.
"The northern and western farmers
have borne the burden of restrictions,
while the cotton nnd sugar raisers of
the South und the speculators hnve
got awuy with profits beyond calcula
tion." Another culler was Constantlnc C.
Moustnkls, of Salem, Mass., who de
clared the Oreeks iu this country were
greatly pleased at Senntor Harding's
reference to the disposition of Thrace in
his recent queries to Oovernor Cox re
garding foreign relations. He assured
the nominee that oters of Oreek descent
were "100 per cent for Harding and
Cuolldge."

previous to tho semiannual election of ' 1

As explained by Felix Ilelnzd, u,, '
re-elected financial secretary, the .
operative bunk plnn is the first (f.
organized labor In Philadelphia hu
'taTcen to combat the nctlon of u,
Clpiinbcr of Commerce In indorsing m

According to n brief outline of ,,e
plniiH, which the committee in rhnm
hopes to present nt the next nicctin tl
of the Central Labor Union, the basic -,l
principle is for cverv member wllh t
bnnk account tn withdraw his monty

"lly withdrawing our funds from IS.
hnnks controlled by 'big business' w J
cane nway cue very rope ny means ot
which they proposed to hnnff organized
labor." said Mr. Helnzel.
"While the resolution wns offlcinltj ,

"we iinvo been formulating plans to
combat the 'open-shop' propaganda

Iwith their own weapon nnd thot is,

tp light the open shop, unionism In
Philadelphia would perish like a snow

Mr. Helnzel then told of n fiiinnclal
expert from New York, who Is assisting
the local committee. It Is predicted by
Mr. Ilclnzcl thnt there will be one largo
central bnnk with several branches es
tablished In various sections of the city.
It is nlso proposed thnt instead of the
usual Interest pnld by savings banks
throughout the city the eo-operntle
bank shall pay to Its depositors a regu

Following Uie co-operative bank reso
lution the semiannual elections were
held.
John D. Cloud, n member of the

John J. McDevltt, who had nlrcadv
served two terms. Mr. McDevltt was
supported by the followers of Frank

union members ns a conservative. Mr.
Cloud leceived sixty votes, while Mc
Devltt polled fifty-four.
When the result of the vote for vice
