The circular rends: "Remember wc will not tolerate any longer. Free the political prisoners or It will be sure death for nil of you. "AMERICAN ANARCHIST FICIITKRS." "Discovery of the circulars." Chief Flynn said, "makes the plan of the bombers fairly clear." "They left the wagon with n hore attached in Wall street, having set the timing devise n few moments head," he explained. "Thev didn't want to take a chance of mailing tlicm. They didn't want to throw them into the street as they walked away from the scene of their crime, which resulted in the death of so manv innocent and law abiding citirens. They stuck them in the. box. Three minutes later their Vonib had exploded. "There is no doubt nt all in my mind that this is about what happened.

Tells Now Jersey Republicans Maine Vote Indicates Country's Verdict ASSAILS ADMINISTRATION Ry tho Associated Tress Trenton, Sept IS Chnrles T. Hughes ', i iienlng the Republican cam pnlgn in New Jersey nt a stntc rally here todnj, snld that Maine, with an unmistakable cmphnsls, points to the crdlcl of the country: thnt the people demand n change and with fresh courage "we shall resume the path of well-ordered government, of prosperity nnd progress." "A general election," snld Mr. Hughes, "is the grent nsize, the only tlm when administration Is brought to an accounting Wo nre not a censor ious people, but levity in passing judg ment unou officers of the government nun political parties ill becomes a deni course. Winning of the War Reviewing the administration of the war, Mr. Hughes said: "Never in our history had an opposition party so completely subordinated nil partisan differences to the support of the admin istration," and further on he declared: "In truth. It was the Republican lenders, Insistent in their demand for speed nnd efficiency In military effort, who in largest measure furnished the driving power behind nn administration which too long hnd fatuously cherished a false security and too long had been benumbed bv Inactivity nnd Indifference to the vindication of American rights." Cnpreparedness resulted in grievous extravagance in outlay In the hurried effort to make nmends, Mr. Hughes charged. Prevailing high costs, he said, were largely due to a heavy bur den or taxution and thc endeavor to recoup through enhanced prices for the ' trn!P"!!0",1 Icl? T'1' "po.n )1U8inM,- fin. un-MiiK '"is i-Bue uuu me rem edy. Mr. Hughes snld: "It is idle to trut thoso who have been In power during the wnr period, with its lavish outlays, its Indifference to expense, its reckoning in billions ns we formerly reckoned In millions, with this duty of economy nnd retrench ment. Their experience unfits them for it. It is equally idle to expect ade quate results from thoso who would follow the same traditions and hnvc the sume fealties." Discussing foreign relations Mr. Hughes recalled the presidential de mand for n partisan congressional vic tory in 11118, which ho characterized as the extraordinary return for the zeal and sacrifices of Republicans In support of the administration in tho conduct of the war." Continuing, he said : "There wus no need for such ex tremes of cclusieness nnd denial of participation In prosecution of policy. Republican leaders lmd long looked to on nssoclatlon of nntions to aid in se curing the peace of the world. It would have bepn well to recognize the fact that the President hnd not the ex clusive treaty-making power. It was wrong to give to foreign peonies the impression of an authority which did not exist It was a highly dangerous role for an American President virtually to appeal to foicign peoples ngulust their goNcrumeuts. It wus still more dangerous; to excito hopes which could not be satisfied, and to give rise to a general sentiment In Kuropo thnt, by reason of expectations created by our representatives and unfulfilled, we had bten guilty of a breach of faith." Mr. Hughes said there was no seri ous contioversy about tho desirability of an association of league of free na tions to aid in promoting the peace of the world, but the question is one of method. Article X "Vice of Covenant" Of Article X. he saiil : "This article has been described as 'the heart of tho covenant.' If it is, the covenant has n bad heart. Article X is really the lco of tho covenant. Why tli'Te should hae been such tenacious Insistence upon it must remain a niys ,,,r. unless it can be said to be due to I,ri.,l of, authorship." ln n ost 0I contingencies, now un- forseeable, declnred tho former Justice, it would be necessary to depend upon llo intelligence, good sense, firmness nnd sincerity of the President to bi elected, nnd in this connection Mr. Hughes bald Senator Harding "invites the confidence of tho country."

Fischer was formerly metropolitan tennis champion STAND PAT' POLICY Stockholders Express Opinion That P. R. T. Contract Must Be Lived Up To REDUCTION PLEA REJECTED A revived report that the Union Traction Co. would compromise with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. on tho question of rentals was denied to day by some of tho stockholders of the former concern, who declared they would stand by the statement mndc by J. J. Sullivan, counsel for tho Union Co. Mr. Sullivan said he had nothing to add to his statement made at the last meeting of tho Union Co., when he announced that the Union Traciton Co. would not ngreo to a reduction In rentnls. Among the stockholders of the Union Traction Co. who expressed their views on tho situation was Dr. Louis Urit ton. of 1032 North Eighth street. "I agree absolutely with the views expressed by Mr. Sullivan nt the T"nlou meeting." snld Doctor Rritton. There has been much unwarranted criticism of the Union Traction Co. I observe that some of this has come from the P. It. T. Co. It's n case of the not calling the kettle black. Incidentally, the P. It. T. Co. is not a good sport. If at the present time the Rapid Tran sit Co. finds thnt Its operating expenses exceed (ts income, let the cmnpnny go to the people who got the $.'(0,000,000 which appears to have been lost in the shuttle. The P. It. T. Co. sold stock to the amount of $.10,000,000 nnd all it uppears to have hnd wns a lease. "After signing a legal lease they are virtually going to their neighbors nnd nskiug them to pav their rent. Stock holders of the Union Traction Co. plnud the pome nnd won. If the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. made nn imprudent agreement that Is their lookout. If tho stockholders of the Union Traction Co. had lost, would the citizens of this city have refunded the $17 r.O a share that tho Union Trac tion shareholders paid for (heir stock?" Doctor Ilrltton summed the whole thing up with a quotation from the "Merchant of Venice," which he said was applicable to the present situation. hhylock says: I "I'ntll thou canst rail the seal from j off my bond, "Thou dost offend thy lungs.'

FORUNIONTRACTION Thousands Lost by Street Gas Wastage Contlnard from Far One would consume a noticeable amount of gas Itself. "I understand that Charleston, S. C has n system whereby it starts to turn on the lights nt dnrk, and starts ex tinguishing them before dawn, but this sjstetn could not be used here, an the sections temporarily left In darkness would furnish a paradise for criminals. "I do not see how this waste could be remedied unless wo Increase the number of gns-llghtcrs, nnd that simply means Increase in wages paid out. which would probably more than counterbalance the saving in gas." The possibility of an .Installation throughout tho city of electric gas lighters, similar to those used ln dwell ings, was scouted by un electrical expert, who pointed out that tho cost would be prohibitive despite the advantage of be ing uble to turn the lights on and off from n central station, ns with electric lighters. It was also noted that in event of the failure of one of the electrical Igniting devices, the turning ou of the gns nt the entral station would result in the gas pouring out unlightcd into the utmos phere where the device had failed, and possibly causing a serious calamity. And so the gas goes to waste and It represents 2V6 per cent of the estimated operating loss on the Philadelphia gus works of the U. G. I. for 1020. It became known at City Hall today that Mayor Moore docs not contemplate offering an ordinance to provide for h ooarn oi experts to study tho gas sit uation. The Mayor feels, it is said, that be transferred any responsibility there! mignt on in tne matter to Council, when he ent them the recent letter written him by President Rodlnc, Richard Weglcln, president of Coun cil, said the gaN lease question would be considered nfter the completion of work on the lonn.

A Republican lead-1 er hero mndc n personnl poll of his well- to-do residence neighborhood. He knew every one In it. Every one talked frank- ly He found only two men who were going to vote for Cox. The neighborhood was ordlnnriiy Republican with a fair mixture of Democratic votes This tendency is in the nlr. It is re enforced by the deslro of the foreign voters to punish Wilson for tho peace treaty. In this state the German voters might almost bo said to hold the bnl ance of power. They swung to the Re publican party in tho congressional elec tion of 1018 with the result thnt a Re publican congressional delegation was elected from Indiana. They are still with thc Republican party. This Is a considerable gain for the Republicans. The wet-dry Issue is old in Indlnnn. It sent many of tho Ger mans into thc Democratic party. How mony no one knows. The Democrats say they never bad morn than half of the Germans, nnyway, but they acknowl edge that they have lost most of thore they had. The Republicans assert that much more than half the Germans wern originally Democrats, and Independent observers Incline to ngreo with them. Whatever fraction of the German vote each party onco had, the Republicans hnvo almost all of It for this election. There is no difference of opinion about where the German vote is. The Irish voto Is not so clear. The Sinn Fein Irish voter, thc professional Irishman. Is off the Democratic reserva tion. How many Irishmen or Irish sympathizers have gone with him no one knows. Thn Democrats think most of tho Irish will bo back ln their party ou election dny; the Republicans make no special claims to the Irish vote. There nre signs here that It is waver ing. But there will be some consider able loss to Cox and gain to Harding. Everybody grants that. Now there Is the negro vote. The war has greatly increased the number of negroes here. And it is said that equal suffrage has more than doubled thc black vote In this state, there being moro negro women here than men who hnvo a bonnflde residence In Indiana. There nro said to bo 75,000 negro votes in Indiana, virtually all Repub lican. It Is a big factor. There aro some countervailing fac tors. Indiana is becoming moro and more nn Industrial state. Under normal conditions It is tending more nnd more to become n Democratic stntc. The labor vote hero is largely Democratic and the war has Increased thnt vote. Rut two years ngo this vote largely failed to rcclstcr and go to the noils. It has been slow to register this year nnd some or mis vote is toreign nnd anti-Wilson for thnt reason.

"Because we don t want our sons sent to Europe to fight again," ,camc the samo answer In the same words. A voung woman who does women's news on one of tho IndlanapoH" pipers brings in the word that tho club womeu .hmn she meets are pro-league and in clining toward Cox.

They correspond generally to the old -fashioned independents-among the men voters. It Is not surprising thnt they nre pro-league. To the mass of voters the best infor mation is that of a political reporter hero who has attended many meetings and henfd the league discussed beforo the voters. He says tho voters are in terested in the league. They like to hear it discussed. Those who oppose it and thoso who advocate it get great at tention nnd equal applause. Everybody is in favor of keeping out of wnr, but thc public eenernlly docs not understand the lcaguo and has not male up Its mind about it and except with n com paratively small section of the voters the league is not going to be the con trolling issue.

The Democratic administration for the 'nst elghl years was termed by Governor Coolldge a "chapter of accl dents" nnd a "mirage of false hones and false security." Tho people, he said for n time mistook the mirage for a reality, but through support of Repub lican candidates and principles, he as scrted, the country "is turning again to realities. He pictured the country as "turning with admiring eye to the matchless fig urc of Washington, portrayed not as secreting in his pocket an act relieving him of tho war powers his country had bestowed on him, but gladly standing icforc Congress nnd voluntarily sur rendering those powers which belong In time of peace only Id the people. Such a figure animated by such a choice they propose to place again ln tho White House. "The Republican party has not been, Is not 'acking In Idealism either ln Its history, purposes or leaders. Who can name an established ideal they have not cherished? There Is none. It has but now furnished four-fifths of the states necessary to enroll the idealism of thc nation in (he public service through equal suffrage. Through tho ages woman has been the nntural councilor of man. In her solicitude for the welfare of her children sho is tho Idealist of the world. She Is destined to walk hand In hand with Republican purposes to the glory of our nation." Massachusetts Republicans endorsed the national candidates and platform by unanimous voto on tho report of Its committee on resolutions. The conten tion declared thnt tho party in this stato was with Senator Harding in his stand on tho Leuguc of Natlos.n Thc league plank said: "We stand with our candidates, War ren G.
