AC XSEE: OMAHA, "WcTDTESDAT, OCTOBER 6f 9.' Borah Promises G.O.P.WillGive Real Republic Declares Election of Harding Will Maintain Untramineled And Unpawned Independ k ence of America. Danbury, Conn., Oct. 5. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho told a large audience here last night tha'. Abe republican party, "as a party and TcgarTless of the views of particu lar individuals can be depended tip on to maintain the untrammt-lei and unpawned independence of the .American republic." He promised ttliat there would be "no compromise :on the principle of American sover eignty.' t He said that America through the 'republican party favors doing its part in the family of nations, but "the public conscience and not a s.gncd contract must always de termine our course in international affairs. In a statement issued be fore the meeting began, Senator Borah commented on the ri-portrd jasscrtion of Senator Harding tint his views and those of Senate 'Borah and Johnson were in entire accord. , Harding Know Views. - "From his 1? months in the senate, ,'Senatoc Urtltng knows tnj views," SciUttw ilorsh said, "H he accepts 'ituns nireo are in perfect accord." IDcclairias himself unetjuivocably 'tflgwwuJ to n associations with the uev?m of Europe, he said he had nothing to say in favor of proposed Substitutes for the lea" of nations. "A league, concert, alliance, com bination, copartnership or associa tion it is all the same to me," he uieclared. "I always have opposed ;and always will oppose such an al liance. There can be no question of who I am supporting for president. Cox favors going into the league while Harding has declared in favor 'of staying out." 1 Senator Borah began his speech by declaring he did not purpose to attack "the league of nations which 'resident Wilson went to Europe to get, but to fight to the bitter end the one that the president brought .home with him." Not American League. "That league is not an American league," he continued. "It is a Eu ropean league. Its purpose is nut tot peace, but tor war. In the en tire covenant not one word is said of democracy. It is the instrument . of a military autocracy." Senator Borah attacked the pres ent league on four counts, each of .which he said unfitted it for Amer ican participation. He declar.d that President Wilson's principle of jfrcedom of the seas has been sum marily withheld from peace confer ence consideration, because "Eng land demanded the preservation of her naval supremacy." Another ' of the president's "14 pr.ints without which he quoted the president as saving "America could not participate," was that of .peace time conscription. This, he said, likewise received no consideration. The third count of the senator's in dictment was based on the secrecy which attended the framing of the covenant despite the principle of "open covenants, openly arrived at.r The last count referred to the presi dent's declaration against imperial ism. "Since President ' Wilson an nounced there should be no more land grabbing," declared the sena tor, England has had 1,607.033 square miles of territory added to her possessions, including 40,000,000 people. The league would how ask us to guarantee England's retention of every part of that territory." Supreme Court Backs Colby In Stand on Suffrage Law Washington, Oct. S.

Harding Talks At Dedication Of War Tablet Republican Presidential Nom inee Speaks at Birthday An niversary of Rutherford B. Hayes. Fremont, O., Oct. 5. Taking a respite from the cares of his cam paign, Senator Harding motored to Fremont and delivered a nonpoliti cal address at the dedication of a soldier memorial at Hayes Memorial Library, situated in a public park which is part of the old estate of Rutherford B. Hayes. Before the exercises the nominee and his wife were luncheon guests of Webb C. Hayes, a son of the former president, and later they visited the latter's grave near by. A parade of Sandusky county war veterans also was reviewed by the senator as a part of the day's pro gram which commemorated the an niversary of President Hayes' birth. In his speech Senator Harding re viewed the historical associations of Sandusky county and praised Presi dent Hayes as one "whose official service to America was more healing than heroic, and left a sense of sat isfying security as a heritage to America." Paying tribute to the soldiers of the great war, he said that they, too, had "wrought less in brilliancy but more in glory" and Called upon American citizens to demonstrate by peace-time patri otism the same measure of devotion to duty, "Voice today," he said, "a tribute to the steadfastness, the resolution, the undaunted courage, the irresist ible determination of the American expeditionary force. You world war veterans are the new leaven in the patriotic citizenship of the republic, the mightiest influence in American life for a hall century to come. "Let us do more even than is symbolized in memorial tablets and monuments. Let us pay our sor rowing tribute to the dead, our, grateful tribute to the living and be resolved, all of us, to meet our duties , as they meet theirs, undeterred and I unafraid, and hand on to our sons and daughters the legacy of liberty and tempte of security, our own U. S. A." The name of Governor Cox ap peared beside that of Senator Hard ing on the program, but officials said he had canceled recently an en gagement to be present. Referring to the fact that arrangements for the ceremonies had been made before the national conventions, Senator Hard ing said that he had come be:ause "I believe in keeping contracts." Tonight the senator and Mrs. Harding returned to Marion by motor. "The Crank" Says Robbery Purpose at Coughlin Home Norristown, Pa., Oct. 5.

Alexander No -Reduction in Price 0 0a asm Sensible Si 1 1 1 At this time when the public mind is dis turbed by sensationally announced price reduc tions of automobiles and other merchandise and commodities, we desire to give assurance to those who require Personal Passenger Trans portation, such as provided by the Oakland Sen sible Six, that we do not anticipate reducing the price of our cars. Starting with the production of the raw ma terial required and continuing through to the finished product, over 80 per cent of the cost of an Oakland Sensible Six is labor. Over 80 per cent of the cost of all other automobiles produced in large quantities is labor. 1 When wages paid to -labor are reduced, or when labor produces more per man, then may manufacturers of honestly priced auto mobiles legitimately consider the reduction of their selling prices. We have not heard of any instance where ;tomobile workers are receiving lower wages. If wages may be lowered eventually we see no immediate trend in that direction. In the production of so essential a factor in our economic life as the passenger automo bile increasing as it does the personal effi ciency of owners by nearly 57 per cent we be lieve the workers whose toil produces the ve hicle should be large beneficiaries of the con structive character of their work. If abnormal demand had been responsible for over-enthusiastic expansion and inflated profits in certain instances the wage earner should not be made to suffer as he must if pow erful jforces effect lower automobile prices whether or no. v . "True enough, there have been many in stances of inflated prices. There has been profiteering.' And true enough, abnormal profits must be eliminated. And that is what has been going on all around you recently the price reduction you have witnessed in automobiles and other mer chandise are the belated shaking out of the abnormal profits. The normal- profits are still there. Manufacturers whose goods have been priced on actual cost to produce, plus normal profit, have no inflated figures with which to appeal to the uninformed public in sensational announcements of "Price Reductions." Prudent, studious buyers will not be misguided by erron eous principles. Oakland Price Advance in Five Years, Due to Increased Cost of Labor and Material, Only 27.4 Per Cent In 1915 Model 32 Oakland Sensible Six was. put on the Market at $795 f. o. b. factory. Since 1915 the wheelbase of the Sensible Six has been lengthened five inches, its weight' increased about four hundred pounds, its horse power materially increased, its frame made deeper, and in many other ways the car has been enlarged, strengthened, improved and re fined. ) ' , If the present Model 34-C had been built in 1915, it is more than conservative to say that, based on labor and material costs at that time, we would have been compelled to list it to sell at $1095, or more, f. o. b. factory. ' We are therefore able to say, also with great conservatism, that the present price of Model 34-C represents an increase, due solely to increased costs of labor and material, of 27.4 per cent. Larger production each year has kept this increase at a low figure. Compare this increase with the increase of other automobiles and with commodities with the things you buy every day. Nowhere have we "been able to find a stand ard article of merchandise that has increased as . little in selling price as the price pf the Oakland Sensible Six. In the event of unexpected reductions in the cost of the labor and material that enter into the construction of the Oakland Sensibl e Six to a point where we may properly and legitimately reduce the list price of our cars between October 1st. 1920. and May 1st, 1921, we will refund to every Oakland purchaser who buys within the above mentioned period of time the amount of such reduction.
