"He Kept Us Out of War" j
False Slogan, Says Speaker !
on Floor of Congress
Washington, Aug. 28. —In what
the keynote speech of the Repub
thq keynot espeech of the Repub
lican Congressional campaign, Rep
resentative William A. Rodenberg,
of Illinois, in the House severely ar
laigned President Wison for alleged
political activities and attempts to
influence the selection of particular
candidates.
After referring to President Wil
son's statement that "politics is ad
journed," Mr. Rodenberg took up
the several instances in which he
said the President interfered in state
elections, during which he vigor- j
ously denounced the efforts of the
President to bring about the defeat
of candidates who had not followed
the administration in all its war
policies.
"Will any Democrat denj- to-drfy
that in 4he presidential campaign
two years ago the Democratic party
adopted as its slogan, 'He kept us
out of war'? Will any one deny
it was on that paramount issue that
the Democratic party appealed to
the country for the re-election of
Woodrow Wilson? Do you remem
ber this alliterative little sticker that
was spread broadcast out over the
country, a copy of which was pre
served and handed to me a moment
ago by a genteman whose politics I
will not mention, which reads, 'Wil
son's wisdom wins'? Do you re
member the lurid posters that could
be seen on the billboards in every
doubtful state, and especially in
those states where women had the
right of suffrage?
"Have you forgotten the impas
siohed appeal made by the President
himself at Shadow Lawn on the very
eve of the election in which he
warned the American people that
if his opponent, Mr. Hughes, was
elected our country would be in
volved in that great war that was
destroying the very flower of the
world's civilization ?"
Ryan Made Assistant
Secretary of War After
Probe of Airplane Muddle
Washington, Aug. 28.—Secretary
Baker has amtpunced the creation of
an aircraft division of the War De
partment headed by John D. Ryan
as assistant secretary of war, with
full authority over all aircraft mat*
ters.
This is Secretary Baker's method
of meeting the need for an independ
end department of aviation, strongly
urged by the Senate military affairs
committee in its report upon the
failure of the aircraft production
program. ,
GRAIN ELEVATORS
FULL OF WHEAT
[Continued from First Page.]
filled elevators are given as the -rea
sons for the action.
It Is now necessary It appears, to
secure a permit for shipment of
wheat. Because of the enormous
amount of grain at ports waiting
for shipment overseas and the con
gested traffic everywhere no permits
have been issued since August 2.
Elevators are crowded to capacity
and the farmers have been turned
away with their loads of wheat.
he effect of this condition upon
the farmers was discussed by Mr.
Brandt in the interview. "The wheat
crop has always been regarded by
the farmer as his money crop," he
explained. "Wheat has always been
saleable' up to the present time and
this new condition will have its ef
fect upon the farmer." • *
Every effort is being made by men
in charge to relieve the situation and
it is hoped that within the next week
the condition will be changed, he
said. A -number of ships scheduled to
reach American ports late in July
and early in August have not yet
arrived. Pending their arrival the
wheat has been held here. The rea- i
son given for the delay of the ships
is that they have been compelled to
take circuitous routes to avoid sub
marines. It was said that Just as
soon as the ships arrive and take
their return cargoes, the ports will
be able to take care of the present"
supply of wheat.

on a novel scheme which makes him
independent of the utility company

That the York Haven corporation

belief of Mr. Kaltwasser. York Haven

daily a bare 600 kilowatts, although

• Food Officials Protest
The Dauphin County Food Admin
istration this* morning protested
against the service rendered by the
Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany to the dairymen who use it to
run the machinery at their plants.
Many gallons of milk are lost dally
by the dairymen when. the plant
breaks down and fails to'furnish cur
rent, as was the case this morning.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week the machinery
used by practically all the dairymen
was out of commission when the cur
rent was shut off. Throughout the
city to-day, it was said, there are
many gallons of milk not properly
pasteurized, while large quantities
are spoiling on the hands of the
dealers.
The Pennsylvania Milk Products
Company, fdr four days without
power to operate the machinery in
the dairy, lost 102 gallons of milk
in one day. L. A. Sterick, president
of the Harrisburg Milk Dealers' As
sociation, lost twenty-five to twenty
eight gallons daily through the shut
down.
Suffer Daily Loss
Mr. Sterick said that nearly all the
dealers are supplied by the power
company. When the dairymen were
thinking of pitting their own en
gines into their plants to generate
the electricity they use. Mr. McCor
mick said they were assured by the
light and power company officials
that they could receive better service
from the company's power plants.
Mr. Sterick said this morning that
the dealers would put in engines and
generate their own power. He said
such a move would be neeessary, as
the work about the dairy must be
done by hand when there is no
power. At the food administration
offices it was said that the dairymen
are unable to divert enough pien
from other occupations about the
dairy to make up for the power
shortage.
The power is used to pasteurize
milk, to separate it. to cleanse bot
tles and do nearly all the work of
