Washington, Nev. 0. "Of course the
Democratic party will come back. It hni
, bn Identified with the progress of the
nation from the time of Its birth. It
fill POHtInilf tn tuv n. epnnf tnlltiAtin In
the nation's nffalrs. There is nothing
in, Tuesday's defeat te warrant any
wer conclusion."
Attorney General l'almer se declared
Way when asked for his views en the
Aftermath of Tuesday's election. He
tebk sharp issue with political prophets
who have predicted the Democratic
"?. "Gum net survive.
"What of the defeat? What of the
future.? Will the party come back?" he
vs nuked.
"The Democratic party has been de
feated before, but It still lives and will
continue te live," the attorney general
asserted. "This defeat Is no worse than
that of 100-1, when ltoesevelt swept tiie
North and Wc.t and left Parker neth-
, ing but the Seuth. Yet six jwirs later,
in 1M0, the Democratic party came
back into power In CetiRrevs and two
Jjars after that we elected a Democratic
' President.
Tatmer "Explains" Defeat
"I haven't any doubt that the part
was defeated because we have been com
pelled, In the exercise of extraordinary
powers in the emergency of the war and
following the war, te offend many iu
' dividuals nnd groups of citizens. It
could net be helped. We had te step
n the tees of a) great ninny persons in
doing the things that were neceary te
Win the war nnd restore the country te
a peace basis.
'Heavy taxes, the raising of a huge
army, the inevitable interference with
business, restrictions In the everyday
affairs nnd lives of the people, all left
grievances and resentment which have
been accumulating all these years until
they burst in this creat nretest.
'The League of Xntiens was net re
pudiated. As an issue, the league was
never clearly defined. Untold thousands
of Republicans voted for Senater Hard
ing in the belief tiiat he favored the
league. The country is unquestionably
for a leacue of some kind for this
league, with modifications. The Deme-1
crate could net &ct the advantage of
lta support of the league because the I
Issue could net be made clear.
"All this tnlk of reorganizing the
Democratic party is futile, particularly
the proposal that it bhnll be reor
ganized by these elements which have
had their day and failed. The party I
must go forward, net backward. They i
have had their chance. If the .party j
W te be reconstructed it will net be
by the reactionary elements which once
controlled it. I
Anti-WHsenlsin Is "Nonsense"
"The talk of repudiating Wilrenian i
Democrats nnd turning the party ever I
te non-Wilsen Democrats is perfect
nonsense. As n matter of fact, Wil Wil
eenian Democrats, te culled, did net ,
control this year's campaign, nltheugh
they did everything peible for the
ticket.
"I have no doubt that in a few
years Woodrew Wilsen will bi esti
mated by Americans in his true pro
portions, and that with the return of
that proper estimate flf his services te
humanity nnd te lii country there will
come n ' new confidence in the party
which he led.
"The things done by ttiis adminis-
tratien will net be undone. As time
gees en its achievements will be nppre-
- dated mere nnd mere. They will ap
pear as a great constructive program in I
v popular government. The country in
time will realize its debt te the Demo
cratic party. '
"Besides this, the victory carries with
It the possibility of trouble in the He-
publican ranks. The nature of the cam- (
palpi, the character of the victory and ,
the failure of the Republican candidate
te define the league clearly held peten- ,
tialities of dissension nnd ngrcement
When the time comes for action.
Predicts Republican Split ,
"In my judgment the Republican ,
party is composed of mere widely diver
gent elements than the Democratic
party. It has been held together here
tofore by the cohesive greed for power, j
It cannot be se held together in the '
future. When the party assumes its
'' BOYS' CLOTHING

new responsibilities It is inevitable that
these elements will clash. Senater
Harding will suffer the usual penalties
of such a situation, nnd will nppreach
me enu or ins administration witli n
sadly split following."
"What about 10124?" he wns asked.
"I think the prospects of Democratic
success In 1021 arc enhanced rather
than diminished by the overwhelming
size of the Republican victory," he
snld. "They huvc everything the Pres
idency, the Senate, the Heuse. Theirs
will be the sole responsibility for every
thing that Is done In the executive and
legislative branches of the government,
nnd also for everything that Is net
done."
Mr. Palmer ran ever the names of
prominent Democrats In Congress, who
were defeated or re-elected In Tuesday's
elections.
"What an opportunity In the Heuse
for a Democrat with conservative lead
ership I" he exclaimed.
"I think," he added, "the saving
grnce of the situntlen, viewed as a Dem
ocrat, is that the man who will occupy
the highest official place in the Demo
cratic party Is a Democrat, with the
wisdom, the leadership, the 'patience,
the tact and the ability of Oscar Under
wood, of Alabama.
"It Is Oscar Underwood's kind of job
te lead n minority in the country's in
terest nnd at the same time take ad
vantage of the majority's mistakes. He
Is capable of leading a majority equal
ly ns well, of course, but as minority
leader he will be particularly valuable.
It was his leadership In the Heuse It.
the period from 1010 te 1012 thnt cn
ablcd the Democratic party te win its
victory of 1012, and It Is a great thing
for the country that he U new placed
as he is in the Senate."
Mr. Palmer, whose administration as
attorney general will end March 4, has
r intention of resigning meanwhile.
Te de se would net squnre with his
ideas of leynlty te his stricken chief,
President Wilsen. His future plnns, ht
said, have net fully matured. His
1 friends have understood he would return
' te the practice of law, maintaining of
fices in New Yerk, possibly in Wash
1 ingten, nnd in Pennsylvania.
"I hope." he said, "te be able te
retire te private life. I will say this
much definitely: I shall net leave Penn
sylvania. While I may net be able te
spend much time there, that will be my
home. That is where I have lived;
that is where I belong, and that Is where
1 intend te stay."

Japanese Censul Accused
Les Anglees. Nev. 0. (Hy A. P.)
Officials c.f the I.es Angeles County
Auti-Asiatic Association announced to
day that affidavits were being prepared
for preentiitieu te the State Depart
ment at Washington in support of the
association's allegations that U. Oyma.
Japanese consul in I.es Angeles, had
participated in n campaign te defeat
the alien land bill.
By the Associated Tress
Paris, Nev. 0. France, Great Rrlt
nln nnd Italy have signed a tripartite
agreement, in which they undertake te
support each ether in maintaining their
"spheres of influence" in Turkey. The
limits of the areas In which the respec
tive special interests of France nnd
Italy are recognized are defined by the
same document.
This ngrcement, It developed yester
day, wns signed at Sevres August 10, the
day the public ceremonial of the signing
of the peace treaty with Turkey took
place. , Although the agreement, it is
explained, Is net considered n secret
one, It nevertheless has never been niudc
public until new, nfter a lapse of nearly
three months since the signing. Under
its own terms the document wns te come
into force nnd be published nt the time
the Turkish pence treaty should go Inte
effect. This date Is still un uncer
tainty. In connection with examination of the
text of .the agreement, new available,
attention Is belnt? called here te the
fact thnt while the treaty defines the
spheres of influence of France nnd Italy,
recognizing the special interests of
France in Cilicia nnd the western part
of Kurdistan bordering en Syria, nnd
of Italy In southern Anatolia, the Brit
ish spheres of Influence are net only un
defined but arc net referred te. That
has raised the question if the agreement
is susceptible of the Interpretation that
the British interests may be held te ex
tend te any or all of the remaining ports
of the Turkish empire.
It was noted also that while the
agreement does net take the form of an
alliance, It nevertheless pledges the con
tracting powers te "render diplomatic
support te each ether in maintaining
their respective positions in the areas
in which their special interests nre rec
ognized." One section of the document provides

SUSPECT SOUGH
T
AS WATERS' SLAYER
Arrest Expected Within Twenty
four Hours in Clubman's Mur
der New Clues Unearthed
THINK ROBBERY THE MOTIVE
New Yerk, Ner. 0. With one man
under surveillance and the possibility of
an arrest within twentjr-feur hours, the
police were hopeful yesterday of clear
ing up the mysterious murder of Leeds
Vaughn Waters, clubman nnd, member!
of a well-known New Yerk family,
enny Wednesday morning, in tne riy riy
meuth Hetel. Detectives were reported
te have obtained clues expected te lead
te the arrest of the swarthy-Bklnned
man who, under the name of "James
Dunn," shared the hotel room with
Waters when the latter was beaten te
death.
The detectives questioned a man who
they believed knew Waters slnycr and
could furnish a motive for the crime.
What Information they obtained wns
net revealed. It was snld the man was
permitted te go after the detectives were
convinced he had given all the Informa
tion he had concerning the man sus
pected of the slaying.
The detectives believed yesterday that
Waters was killed by a frequenter of
saloons and ether resorts In the vicinity
of the hotel. They learned that Waters
visited one of these resorts a few hours
before he was killed. The police also
arc convinced that the murder wns In
spired by n desire te rob the victim,
nltheugh less than $8 wns taken from
him nnd the few nrticles of jewelry he
were were undisturbed. They held te
the robbery theory because of informa
tion that Waters was believed by pa
trons of certain resorts te be wealthy
nnd te enrry with him large sums. They
believe his sluycr, after crushing
Waters' skull with his victim's gold geld
headed walking stick nnd some ether
wenpen net yet traced, searched Waters'
pockets and found he had little money.

IF YOU are an empleye of the City or the wife of a city empleye,
the Bureau of Municipal Research is a friend of yours.
If you are being paid tee little and the man next you is being
paid tee much, you knew it.
Yeu knew it is unjust and we want you te knew the Bureau
is trying te have this rectified.
These matters of unjust remuneration are net te be blamed en any
particular person.
Very often they are the result of habit, of precedent!
The Bureau wishes you te have a salary commen
surate with the work you are doing; wishes you te be
rewarded en the basis of equal pay for equal work and
equal responsibility, and a fair day's work from you
for a fair day's pay.
The Bureau of Municipal Research has championed the idea of
standardization for the past six years? and during most of that period
has kept it alive single handed. New this idea is all but realized.
The Bureau has provided facts te cany out fairly the idea of
equal pay for equal work. It has investigated the facts about the cost
of living in Philadelphia and has provided a basis of fact for finding
out currently what is a living wage.
Frem facts collected by the Bureau just prier te the upward leap
in prices, it has shown what city wages should be new te equal in pur
chasing power the wages paid in 1915 by cities elsewhere and by pri
vate employers here in Philadelphia.
The Bureau is furnishing co-operation and leadership in the
development of a program for handling all the employment problems
of government effectively and fairly.
These Civil Service men are in earnest. They want mere help and
the Bureau is giving it te them.
They want te see the public service become attractive te ambi
tious men and women.
They want te cut down big salaries for little work and raise little
salaries for big work.
They want te weed out the city's "soft" job holders and standard
ize salaries upon a basis of merit.
