Mayor Mooro "has little claim eUher
for or nsalnst any Republican ticket,"
Senator Vare said today, becnuso
"neither ho nor any of his highly paid
official1) contributed one cent to the last
mltnnnl election.
Some effect of the Mayor's dramatic
activities In the Inst two days was dis
cernible In the lengthy statement dic
tated by Senator Varo. In which he
lauded Thomas F. Watson, chairman
of the Clt.v Committee, and Receiver of
Taxes Kendrlck and In the midden de
parture of Oscar R. Noll, lender of the
Thirty-sovrnth Wnrd. to sec Senator
Tenro'ic. Thomas W. Cunningham,
combine leader, said ho would sec the
Senator tomorrow In Washington.
Varo Has His Say
When Senator Vare wns asked what
lie thought of the situation he paid :
"More than two-thirds of the mem
bers of the Republican Ccntrnl Cam
paign Committee feel that the Mayor
l'a very little claim cither for or ngnlnst
any Ilcpubllcan ticket, inasmuch ns the
Itcords will show that neither he nor
any of his highly paid officials under
Mm contributed one cent at the. lust
natlonnl election, when It was ho lm
rtortnnt to roll up n large majority for
the Itepubllcan candidate for President,
Vice President nnd members of the
American Congress.
"All the expense was borno and the
work done almost entirely by members
of the Itepubllcan Central Campaign
Committee without nhy -assistance from
the Administration whatever."
As for the prospects for n "fifty
fifty" ticket, which the Mayor regards
as ury dim. Senator Vnre expressed
himself plainly.
Nothing Definite Iono Yet
"No one can tell nt this time," he
told. "I do know that the represent!!
tim In the Republican Central Cam
paign Committee from inoro than two
thirds of the wards have been more
than fair when they have only consid
ered the naming of two out of the live
county offices.
"Nothing definite will be done for
several days. The fncts urc that a lurge
majority of both the men and women
loters of tills city feel that If there is
a contest the responsibility will abso
lutely rest willi the minority in th'e
Itepubllcan piurty in this city.
"More than two-thirds of the repre
sentatives in the Central Campaign
Committee feel that Thomas. V. Watson
Is a popular nnd n deserving and capa
ble mnn. lln Is n real representative of
the plain people.
"He is popular and highly respected
by rcgulnr Republicans and independ
ents throughout tho city, ns well as in
the Twenty-second Wnrd which he
represents. Ho is conceded to be the
ablest Republican lender Uormantovvn
has had in forty yenrs.
1 "The voters also feel that if any of
the present county officials are to be re
nominated that W. Freelaud Kendrlck
Is an much entitled to that honor us any
other offilcnl, ho having received for his
eight jcars' services less than one-half
the compensation received by any other
county official who is being considered.
Points to Kendrlck's Record
"It must be remembered that all
previous tax collectors allowed long
lines of taxpajcrs, both men nnd
women, to stand for hours waiting tor
an opportunity to pay tuxes during the
busy season. Somo times these lines
Would be a square long. This has not
happened since Mr. Kendrlck took office.
"There Is no more waiting on the
part of property owners to pay taxes,
and when it is considered that lie col
lected more than .$310,000,000 in the
even years nnd deven months he has
been in offico at tho exceedingly low
cost to the taxpayers of less than of

RAILROAD FUNDING
BILL HANDOUT, SAYS
E
Administration Measure En
counters Sharp Opposition '
at Committee Hearing .
LA FOLLETTE JOINS OHIOAN
IN ATTACK ON RELIEF PLAN
Ry tho Associated Press
Washington; Aug. 10. Opposition to
the Administration bill for funding
about $500,000,000 for the rallronds
developed openly today before the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Committee.
Senator Ln Follette, Republican,
Wisconsin, opened fire on the bill, while
Democratic Senators characterized the
proposal' as a loan to the rallronds. Sen
ator Pomcrcne, of Ohio, referred to It
n.s n "handout."
Director Meyer, of the War Flnnnco
Corporation, defended the bill vigorously
as a measure fer general country-wide
ns well bb railroad rehabilitation, and
denied that It was a loan or n hand
out. Senator La Follette Inquired deeply
into the origin of the legislation. .Mr.
Meyer snld he personally conceived tho
plan, without suggestion from anybody.
Ills plan, he said, was approved by
President Harding, Secretary Mellon
and Secretary Hoover.
Mr. Meyer said he had not attended
any conference of bankers with the
President and did nor know that the
legislation had been discussed at such
a conference.
"Did you know thnt Mr. Hoover was
going to New York to confer with rnii
way executives nbout it?" persisted
.Senator La Follette. Mr. Mcjer dis
claimed such knowledge.
Senntor Ln Follette referred to loans
by tile War Finance Corporation to the
UrooUIyn Rnpid Transit Company nnd
a New Orleans street railway company
which lie said soon nfterward became
bankrupt. The Senator said he did
that to Indicate "how business was
transacted. "
Director Meyer replied that he re
garded the 11. It. T. loan as "eventu
ally good" and said the New Orleans
loan had been' paid In full.
Senator Ln Follette sought to show
that the bill really would authorize the
War Finance Corporation to fund, or
sell more than .51.000,000,000 of rail
road securities instead of onlv $."00.
000.000. Mr. Meyer declared that
funding of the latter amount onlv wns
contemplated or could be reasonnblv
accomplished.

Slinu'd Congress icccss late tills month
President and Mrs. Harding may leave
AVaslilngton for an extended vacation.
No definite plans have been made, how
ever, it was said tndey.
The President has hoped that he

Northwest this full, but It Is not now
eonshbred probable that he will get
that far away from Washington. If lie

it Is thought he will select some place
within a few bonis' lide of the cnpitul.
Mr. Hiiriiim,''s next speaking engage
incut is in Itiriiiinghnm. Ala., late in
