Thomson, chairman of the Philadelphia branch of Itcpublfcan women, to women who are being ns ressed. Mrs. Thomson said she had read how women in another city were fleeced by nn "assessor" who do innnded money. Men politicians in the downtown wards today were warned by the Phila delphia branch of the League of Women Voters not to interfere with prospective women voters. Mrs. Harriet E Hubbs, executive secretary of the Philadelphia branch, uttered the warning. Mrs. Hubbs is just- back from Canada, where she said women bent tlie women of this country by u year in getting the vote. "I arrived here Inst night." she snid, "nnd it was only a short while afterwards that I was told politicians were already at work trying to control women in the downtown section, par ticularly in the river wards. "The League of Women Voters is going to light thnt sort of thing to tlie limit. That is the very reason for the existence' of the league. If politicians of the ward-heeling type nre able to direct the votes of women it will nullify nil the good that we expect to result from suffrage. HVas these same down town wards where politicians nre now nt work, that -defeated the suffrage ref erendum in Pennsylvania in 101."." Mrs. Hubbs snid that education, is to be the big work of tlie league. Intelli gent voting by women cu,n come only through instruction, she said. "Citizenship schools nnd classes," she said. 'Jure to be established throughout the state, to make every woman an intelligent voter familiar with the procest.es of government and voting." The work of the league has increased to nn extent which has made Iwrl office. necessnrv. one for the Pennsylvniiiid binnch and the other lor the Philadel phia branch. Mrs. Hubb-i. in her criticism of efforts of politicians to "interfere" -nitli women voters, referred to activities of the Re publican city committee.

Pronouncing the existing League of Nations a def' initc and irredeemable failure, Sen ator Harding today proposed a new effort to construct a world associa tion on the framework of the Hague tribunal, clothed with such attributes of the league covenant as may bo found safe and practicable. He pledged himself, if elected President, to make an immediate ef fort, with the advice of the ablest men "of both political parties, to form such an association cither by "put ting teeth" into the Hague court ojr by revising the covenant to protect ational aspirations. I The declaration was made in a Jront-Prc" speech to a delegation of Ai.uioiiu ni-ijuuiicuiis, covering in ae- tail the Republican nominee's posi tion on the nation's foreign rela tions.
