REPUBLICAN RALLY AT CONGRESS HALL SHOWS ! OLD-TIME SPIRIT RENEWED • h PROMINENT MEN OF NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA REN- t DERED SPEAKING OF THE EVENING— HQN. EDWARD C. ® STOKES, FORMER GOVERNOR OF NEW JER8EY AND HON. J. t HAMPTON MOORE, MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA WERE MAIN ® SPEAKERS— MISS KNIGHTS EFFORTS WELL APPRECIATED, t i i i t

The Republican Mass Meeting aC Congress Hall on Tuesday evening! a most pronounced success, j W' Stites, chairman, m his j opening remarks described it as Miss Knight's coming out party, and few j debutantes are so "appreciated as to attract at a coming out party so many j friends as respond ec to the announce- . ment of this particular "party." The | whole thing was at iMiss Knight's in- j ception, and she prepared for it lav- , . ishly. Miss Knight 'is an earnest Re- i J publican and made this clear by sug- , gesting and arranging for this great meeting at a time when she and all other women are stepping into a new role of citizenship and the ancient and interesting society of legal voters It supplies a fine example for all I women, not to call mass meetings, but i to enter into their" acquired . , rights, duties and privileges, \fltb vim! t and earnestness.. Mal-or Hampton j r Moore of Philadelphia, /former Gov- . . ernor E. C. Stokes, and our CongressI man Bacharach, former Senator David] r ' ~~~

: Baird and our Assemblyman, Andy., j ; | Boswell were the distinguish- ( . ! ed speakers who dealt with the doing® ] s J of the National Administration and I, s the necessity for improvement under i . r i Republican management and furnish- 1 > 1 ed facts and figures in evidence..] . They all complimented the new Con-'] • gross Hall and its owner. Three || ; thousand people, at least gathered on | , - the lawn to listen and applaud, and , . - the large accomplished Philadelphia , - band of performers on brass instru- , - ments, interspersed the pooceedings t ' with stirring selections which kept , 1 the enthusiasm at a high pitch, j ■ r Fletcher Stites presided with his us- , t ual or rather, his unusual ability It < ; s ' recalled very vividly other* days 1 when Congress Hall was the centre t of doings in this resort. All Cape d May people and all who are interestn | ed in the resort and have memories n , of its old time glories are rejoiced to - '■ see it once again resume its station ;- i and have feelings of praise and d} thanks for Miss Knight every

time their eyes rest upon the re- & neWed Congress HalL ^ J. Hampton Moore, tMayor of Priladelphia entered the big campaign " at Miss KniSht's "Coming Out Patry* & on the Congress Hall Lawn, Tuesday n' night. Three thousand were in at- " tendance. While the Mayor dealt with the dl national situation in the form of a attack tt I the Wlson administra- ® and against the political methods of the Wilson Cabinet, he did not p altogether overlook Philadelphia and P the political situation there.'. This parenthetically to an account of 41 his connection as a Congressmen with p all the big war loans, which he re- ® marked, has accustomed him and his " colleagues to think in millions and " even though it ia impossible for the human mind to conceive f accurately what a billion dollars is. « He intimated that a thirty million n j dollar loan bill *as not such a novelty v 1 as to sweep him off his feet altogether P I "I can talk politics tonight while I I afti here" he said at the outset of his speech, "though I em forbidden i by 'law to be a politician within the g of Philadelphia and must do t | the best 1 can to meet the tactics of t ; the opposition by the- aid of the plain t people. . t ! | Ex-Governor Stokes was one of the g ; principal speakers of the meeting, and t ■ the Mayor remarked that it was Gov- j ■ ernor Stokes who was responsible for t Hall the evils of the country because f > he had not run for Governor of New t ■ Jersey again, but had stepped out and j i allowed Woodrow Wilson to be elect- ( -,ed. 1 > < * Millions Spent in Dayton J s ! When he got to the Democratic ' Administration the Mayor said:;] ' "There was $640,000,000 spent forj- * airplanes under the Democratic admi- J nistration. and not a single combat ^ ■ plane of American make reached the battle grounds of Europe. The i biggest part of that money was spent • in Dayton, Ohio, where Governor Cox I has his home, his business and his p prosperity — and he is a millionaire, : although I do not claim there is anyl ' connection between the two facts. Nevertheless he ought to explain it, because most of it happened in hisj town. | 'Tdr. McAdoo is one of the shrewd- 1 est men in national politics and when ' he started bonding the country for the Liberty Loans he was shrewd enough to see that a sum was reserved for -exploitation. This meant lectures and brass bands and priminont Democrats going up and down the country convincing people of every hamlet pmd town that Liberty bonds were as

good as gold. Altogether we in Congress gave him and his successor 50,000,00 to employ such people. Talk 1 about a machine. What a nucleus that would have* been for a force to get him elected if he- had won the nomination. No wonder Cox is mad aid kicking about campaign funds.. He didn't get the money and McAdoo did. "Or perhaps Palmer would have made a better run than Cox. After McAdoo has shown Palmer the way to popularized himself by spending the people's money he became Alien Property Custodian and acquired control over a billoin dollar's worth of property belonging to aliens. Think of the bookkeepers, the detectives, the lawyers and the other agents he had in every town and hamlet to help him keep track of the properties. With billion dollars' fund I dont wonder he was a' notable contender for the nomination at San Francisco along with McAdoo. They both had the people's money. Scores Secretary Wilson "They all got to doing -it. Our good Secretary of Labor Wtilson came Congress and asked for $50,000,000 employ all the people he knew to build houses all over the country for the people to buy when they could get a chance to buy them, and SecreLane before he left the Cabinet he got a little too strong for the President, wanted -$50,000,000 from Congress to employ all the the people he should get a hold of to ine people ne snouiu a. »«iu w

Talk about your moral 'claims, which are a thing we look L ! upon with holy horror and fight in a ■ j Philadelphia. . | The Mayor delivered this message ; 'from Senator Harding and Mrs. ® , I Harding to the women of the country: j! "Tell them we welcome the women F • 'of America into the Republican party * - 1 and look forward to great movement® ;-w dvic improvement by their J w t ! cooperation." Ex-Representative Fletcher W.
