CHICAGO, Jan. G. Republicans
from fourteen mtddlewestern states
continued today their work of mold
ing party issues and laying plans for
the participation of republican wom
en In tho 1920 presidential campaign.
Demands of women for equal repre
sentation on the national committee
of the party and a sentiment, reflect
ed in speeches of prominent party
leaders, to deal vigorously with the
labor and Industrial situation as cue
of the chief issues of the election
campaign were the principal develop
ments of tho conference which began
yesterday.
Many of the women today regard
ed their demands for "a fair repre
sentation" in the parry GTganization
as virtually confirmed with the state
ment of Will Hays, chairman of the
republican national committee, that
"the republican party offers the
women everything we offer the
men."
Plans for the national convention
next June also were launched and ar
rangements for tho fitting up of the
Coliseum to allow a seating capacity
of 13,187 were made.
Edward IP. Thayer, of Indianapolis
was elected aergcant at arms for the
gathering.
At a banquet Jast night given by
the state central committee in honor
of Chairman Hays and Mrs. John
Glover South, chairman of the wom
en's division of the national commit
tee, the two candidates for the presi
dential nomination, and Chairman
:hays devoted their attention to in
dustrial problems. Tlr gathering
was attended by more lhz. 1200 re
publican men and women.
Anarchism Is Assailed
"Major General Leonard Wood, as
sailing anarchism, declared "the big
gest problem of the day Is mainten
ance of law and order, respect for
constituted authority and mainten
ancee of a government under the con
' stitution."
"As fear the reds," said General
Wood, "let's stamp them out. They
grow in communities where govern
ment is timid and slack. Ninety per
cent of American labcr Is on the
square," he said, urging American
leadership for labor.
Governor frank O. Lowden of Illi
nois urged women to aid In bringing
about a more healthy industrial sit
uation. "If every man and woman
took the same Interest in political
matters as in their personal affairs,
most of our ills would disappear," he
asserted.
In the war on radicalism, he said,
there was no more patent argument
than home ownership.
Ijowdeii for Jjonguo
Governor Lowden mado public a
letter Senator Borah of Idaho in
which he urged ratification of the
(Covenant of the League of Nations
with such reservations as already
have been adopted by the senate.
The firing squad was recommend
ed by Chairman Hays as the means
of dealing with anarchists. He rec
ommended reduction of taxes and the
repeal of "those, that crush initia
tive," development of better rela
tions between capital and labor and
administration of law and order in
the nation as cardinal points in the
pnrty platform.
Mr. Hays went to D0 Moines to
attend a meeting of Iowa republicans
today and later will attend confer
ences in Denver and San Francisco
similar to the meeting here.
