Car-Riding Public Kxfkj$M'$B
NO FURTHER COMMENT UHLuiHi
f .; 1j , I
Thomas E. Mitten, president, of tho
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co.-, will
remain at his post. This was learned
today from a representative of the com
pany, who said that tho'fallurc to ob
tain approval of tho straight five-cent
faro would not cause Mr. Mltttn to de
sert his position.
An announcement in tho cars today
regarding the salo of the four-for-a-quartcr
tickets and tho promiso to give
tho best possible service, signed by Mr.
Mitten, will bo the only comment which
ho will make, it wns 'said. Little fear
was expressed by officials of the com
pany that nny attempt to oust Mr.
Mitten would be successful.
It was learned in financial circles
that the only criticism of Mr. Mitten
was in connection with his plans for
financing the company. No criticism of
his operating methods, .or dissatisfac
tion with them, wns uttered by. those
.opposing him, it -was said.
The P. R. T. capitulation to the
seven-cent faro plane makes It a cer
tainty tkat after November 1 the car
rldlng public, of 'Philadelphia will pay
a scyen-ccnt fare, with tho privilege,
howcyer, of buying four coupons for
twenty-flvo cents."
Frco transfers nnd threotccnt ex
changes will bo issued, as at present.
There is some doubt 'whether a rider
prftsatiNJpBajfr'M:iUv'hfl):t
titled to" secure. a freo'trnnsfer orr pay
an additional threo cents and secure an
exchange.
Public Service Commissioners have
indicated, however, that n coupon, or
strip ticket, will entitle a rider to n
transfer qr exchange just as much as a
btraisht seven-cent payment.
Dr. F. Herbert Snow, chief engineer
of the Public Service Commission, is cx-
Sectcd here today to take up with P.
:. T. (cnglnccrs the elimination of a
number of skip-Btops that havo been
complained of by business men. The
P. 11. T. engineers already have prepnrcd
a list to meet home of the more serious
complaints that have been received. It
is not the plan of tho commission or tho
company to do away entirely with skip
Btops. SAY CITY OFFICEHOLDERS

Comptroller Williams' Criticisms

Convention
RESERVE SYSTEM APPROVED
By tho Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 22. Disvussloii by
the American Bankers' Association of
criticisms leveled rerentlv at certain
New York bnnks by Comptroller of Cur
rency Williams culminated today in the
adoption of n report of the nssoeln
tion's resolutions committee condemning
"dnngerous nttnrks" by unnamed in
dividuals on the credit structure of the
country.
Presentation of the report brought on
a heated discussion. Several mem
bers maintained that the convention
itself wns not interested in the contro
versy which has grown out of Comp
troller Williams' charge thnt certain
bunkers hnd received inordinate tntes
of Interest on cnll lnnns.
Tho resolutions committee report ex
pressed complete npprovnl of the Fed
eral Reserve system ; condemned nny
effort to use tho government funds or
forces arbitrarily to hold up or to force
down prices or otherwise ''to interfere
with normal economic influences" ; rec
ommended thn eliminntion of the excess
profits tnx ns inequitable and of the
surplus tax because "it nets ns n broke
on production," nnd pledged the efforts
of tho members townrd the opening of
foreign murkets through extension of
long-term credits or other means.
The report condemned "speculative

for a national budget system nnd ex
pressed the association's complete! dis

The acsociation, through ndoptlon of

railroads.
While favoring immigration ns a
means of preventing labor bhortago nnd
enabling tho development of resources,
tho committee report as ndopted recom
mended caution in tho admittance of

A five-year program for construction of

Chicago, Oct. 22. Senator La FoI
lette, "Fighting Bob," took the Btump
In Milwaukee last night for his candi
date, Thomson, In his attempt to do
feat the re-election of Senator Lcnroot,
This Is La Follctte's first appearance
on the stump in Wisconsin ln cfght
years, which indicates how despcrnto
a fight he-has on his hands. He has,
however, long been in ill licnlth, but
nftcr a sojourn at the Mayo brothers'
hospital in Rochester, Minn., ho is now
assured of fifteen more years of fighting.
He is on even more lonely and bitter
figure than Senntor Hiram Johnson nnd
ho is engaged with all his might in fight
ing the thing which Senator Harding
is fighting to restore, namely, party
government. Ho defies the government?
of his own party ln Thompson, seeking
to defeat Its legally nominated candidate
for the Senate. He is fighting this tlmo
with his back1 to the wall. He has lost
control of tho Republican state com
mittee. Where formerly virtually every con
gressman from Wlsconsiti obeyed .him,
now all but one of the Republican can
didates for Congress nre either indepen
dent of him. or opposed to him. At
that he is dangerous. He may win
both this fight and elect his candidate
for governor, Blaine, whom most of
the Republicans, are bolting, nnd his
candldato for the Senate, Thompson.
Johnson Less Defiant
Senator Johnson is fighting the samo
kind of a fight against party govern
ment, less courageously than La Fol
lette. He is more careful of his regu
larity"than the defiant senator from
Wisconsin. He is openly trying to de
feat Republican senators like Watson,
in Indiana, nnd is giving onJy half
support to Republican-s.Hcna'nWa llko
Lcnroot in Wisconsin. Like the wind,
he bloweth where he llsteth. He makes
his own Itinerary, refusing to be sent
where tho national pnrty managers
think he is most needed. Party g6y
ernment does not' prosper that way.
Johnson insists on visiting and male-
ing speeches in states llko New Jcrey.
Michigan and Illinois, where, he hasn

Spencer, all of them Republican sena
tors whoso re-election is in doubt.
Destroy Party Government
You hnvc to go to Wisconsin to see
whnt La Folletteism and Johnsonism
leads to. In thnt stnto you find tho
utter dlsappeaiancu of tho party gov
ernment which it is Senutor Harding's
aim to restore. There are no parties
in Wisconsin, except the Socinllst party,
nnd even that is always being tempted
to merge Itself In the crowd thntr runs
after La 1 ollctte.
The Democratic party exists in Wis
cousin only in nnme, it beiug ono of tho
many nntl-Ln Follette groups. Tho
Republican party is divided broadly
into La Follette men nnd nntl--La
Follette men nnd the nnti-Ln Folletto
men nre divided ngain into the personal
followers of Wilcox for governor, Phil
ipp nnd Lcnroot. In addition, there
nre the racial groups, the Gcnnnns nnd
Norwegians, impelled in their politics
by the consequences of the great war in
Europe, rather than by any domestic
concern.
This works out oddly. The Repub
lican enndidnte for governor, Blaine,
stands with both feet upon the Non
Pnrtlsnn League platform. And tho
Democratic candidate for governor an
nounces loudly that he stands with both
feet upon the Republican platform
which attacks the Non-Partisnn League
platform upon which the Republican
candidate for governor stands.
Other States Similar
What is going on in Wisconsin ls
only n enricaturo of what is going on in
several' other states. Illinois is nearly
ns bad as Wisconsin with the Thomp
son peronal following supreme nnd
the down-stnte Republicans divided into
groups controlled by Smith and Small
and McKinlev nnd half a dozen others.
In Ion, RepuMlcon party lines nre
badly broken by Pierce, tho lender of tho
radical fnrnrs; in West A'irginln by
the mine liuWr lenders, whoso candldato
for governor may defent the Republi
can eaudldntc, and in the West gen
erally where Townley, of the Non-Partisan
League, Is powerful In many stntcs,
and in California, where the mnjorlty of
tho Republican party is lu the porsonnl
possession of Johnson,
Even In the national field big racial
groups like the German nnd Irish cut
nioro figure than ever before, nnd prom
ise to do so us long ns this country is
intimately concerned in European poll-
tics.
Harding Fnres Task
The support of Harding is held to
gether, not bo much by party sentiment
as by tho desire to get rid of the present
ndmlnintrntion nt Washington and to
express effectively dissatisfaction with
the wnr nnd with the pence mndo by
Wilson. Direct primaries and the work
of men llko La Follette and Johnson
nnd tho consequences of the great split
of 1012 have tcuded to disintegrate party
government.
The success or failure of tho Hard
ing administration will depend largely
upon Harding skill in uniting thcBo
discordant cletffcnts and causing them to
follow him in a singlo party having a
definite constructive policy. Either tho
country gets back to tho kind of party
government that preceded 1012, or elso
tho chaos which ono finds In Wisconsin
Is likely to appear everywhere. Harding
has a big job to restore party govern
ment, and it is one which the Johnson.,
La 'Follcttes and Thompsons and Con
loys will mako as difficult for him as
possible. Much Is going to depend upon
Fighting Bob's prebent big battle" in
Wisconsin.
