WATSON FLAYS WILSON LEAGUE

GEORGE ADE ENTERTAINS REPUBLCANS AT BEAUTIFUL COUNTY HOME. Hazelden, Ind., Aug. 31.—The salieht points covering the objections to the league of nations were comprehensively explained to more than 200 men and women who assembled here today at the invitation of George Ade, and Lawrence Lyons, republican district chairman, by United States Senator James E. Watson, who made ’an address on the league at the solicitation of the republican women. “ The occasion was a rally of republican men and women workers from the Tenth district and from the enthusiasm shown today indications are the women will, be more active in the presidential campaign during the next two months than has been expected. The meeting was held at Mr. Ade’s beautiful estate and Mr. Ade in his usual manner left nothing undone to furnish entertainment for the visitors, who came from all parts of the Tenth congressional district. During the morning there was a round table discussion conducted by Congressman Will R. Wood, and the women kept him busy answering many pointed questions bearing on the political discussions of the day. The women indicated they are anticipating many word combats with the opposition and their desire was to be posted on every phase of the republican platform, and especially the league of nations. In the afternoon two organization meetings were held, one for “the women and another! for the republican committees men and county chairman. State Chairman E. M. Wasmuth presided at the men’s meeting and Mrs. Dorothy Cunningham, of Martinsville, at the meeting of women. Talks were also made to the women by Mrs. James E. Patterson, of Gary, district chairman of women; Dr. Adah McMahan, of Lafayette, and Mrs. F. W. Greve, of Lafayette. District Chairman Lawrence Lyons presided at the mass meeting and- after delivering an instructive talk on organization presented Senator James E. Wateofi, who immediately ordered Warren T. McCray, candidate for governor to get busy and carry water, to the elephant Mr. Watson opened with a discussion of the stand of James Cox, the democratic nominee for president, pointed out how he came to be nominated at San Francisco, and said the democrats thought they. were nominating an anti-ad-ministration candidate, but were badly fooled. He called attention to the ousting of National Chairman Cummings, Who was a Wilson man, and the summons for Obx to come to the White House for a seance with President Wilson. He said that after the session behind closed doors, Mr. Cox and President Wilson both announced the meeting was very satisfactory and Mr. Cox .said he would follow the policies and promises' of Mr. Wilson as closely as possible, if elected. , • » With nothing but the league of nations left to talk on, Senator Watson said the democratic nominee had developed into a soap-box politician' by diverting the argument to republican campaign funds. He said that according to the press reports, Mr. Cummings, former democratic national chairman, at the investigation being conducted in Chicago, testified yesterday that the democrats • were doing the same thing, getting money from every body they could. League of Nations. The league of nations was next discussed, and Mr. Watson explained many points that have been under discussion since the United States senate refused to raW the covenant in its original draft. ; He said there had been no provision made for the? selection of America s representative in the council or assembly, because Mr. Wilson thought he would appoint whom he pleasea. Then, he said, .Mr. Wilson, would direct what was done. He na* domineered over his cabinet ever since he was elected, and with one or two exceptions, they are the finest collection of bell boys I ever saw together. .. v u “The crux to it all, which is absolutely in refutable and unanswerable, is that in. case of a dispute between two nations, who have representatives in the council, neither nation would have a say or a vote. The other seven, as it now happens would dictate the policies of the two disputing nations. For if we had a dispute with Japan, over the question of Japanese becoming emigrants to this country. Japan is a member of the council; it has signed the league of nations and is one of the nine powers. We would havq no vote, neither, would Japan, but the representative from Hayti, in the

TEACHERS ARE IN SESSION

REGULAR COUNTY INSTITUTE BEING HELD IN THIS CITY TH(S WEEK. (G. H. Hammerton). Tuesday P. M. In his opening address Tuesday afternoon Prof. Elson continued his account of the making and importance of the constitution, giving some of the conflicts which arose when the constitution which had been adopted by the convention, was sent to the different colonies for ratification. He gave the names of the state, which in turn ratified it, and the bitter struggles and debates which were carried on in the the different colonies. The professor then took up the different amendments of the constitution, giving a careful outline of that with which ‘each amendment dealt, down to the prohibition or 18 th amendment, and the 19th amendment or the suffrage amendment. The professor added that he thought a separate woman’s party would be the biggest piece of nonsense of which he -could conceive, and he plead that none of us would advocate such a thing. Following these remarks he spoke of the defects of our constitution, and the manner by which,in his judgment, these defects might .be removed. At this period County Supt. M. L. Sterrett announced that ExCounty Superintendent Louis H. Hamilton would address the teachers at this time. Mr. Hamilton took for his subject, “The Study of History apd the Newspaper.” In his address he insisted that the teacher, be a reader of some good newspaper, that they might acquaint themselves with the things that are transpiring, which is really the making of history. Not only the institute but every one in the county should be proud of the men who have contributed so much to the school and civic life of our county as has Mr. Hamilton. The afternoon period of Prof. Evans, whose subject was “How I would teach a Lyric,” was spent wholly by him in reading several typical Lyrics. In connection with this he gave illustrations of how they should be read and taught to the class. In his remarks he says there are only three great strains of literature, i. e., Lyric, Dramatic and Narrative. He gives as the qualifications of a lyric the following: Subjective, Brief, Intense, Musical, Unity and Simple. Wednesday Morning. After the opening by singing Mrs. Brouhard took Dp the explanation of the Aldine and Beacon method of Primary work. Mrs. Brouhard having been very successful in the teaching of this method, was able to present it to primary teachers. Following this Prof. Evans came before the institute with his keen imagination and tbok for his subject “The Ballad.” After giving in his unique way the characteristics and qualifications of a ballad, he took up the reading and explanations of a few ballads. Dr. Elson, in his morning address, continued his explanations, on the amendments of the constitution stating that from the fact that only nineteen amendments, out of eightteen hundred which had been proposed, had been added. That the most important congress eves, held was the first one ever held, because of it having to give tone ana power to that body. He gives a careful explanation of the formation of the President’s cabinet, how it gradually grew in number, giving the names of each department and those at the head of these departFollowing this the Dr. took up the growth of political issues and showed that the two greatest leaders were Hamilton and Jefferson.

FORMER LOCAL BOY HERE ON RECRUITING SERVICE

Oscar Leach, son of Alex Leach, deceased, who spent his boyhood in this city, arrived here today wearing the uniform of his Uncle Sam, having been sent here from Gary for the purpose of enlisting recruits for the army.. Sgt. Leach spent- nineteen months overseas, enlisting at Hammond shortly after America entered the war. He saw much service’ as a member of the First Division and in all spent six , months in the trenches, participating in some of the greatest battles of the war. Although receiving no wounds during his lengthy service, he was the victim of a mustard gas attack and for some tune was in danger of losing bis eyesight. In addition he suffered an attack of the influenza, but haa fully recovered and is in excellent health at the present time. During his stay in this city, which will probably be for a period of several weeks, Sgt. Leach will have his headquarters at the postoffice. He states that at the present time all branches of the service are open and that a bonus of ninety dollars accompanies all three year enlistments. Any recruit is given the privilege of enlisting for _ service in Germany if he so desires it. SgtLeach is especially desirous of obtaining Recruits for the 20th and 49th Infantry and the 59th Artillery, which is a motorized unit bleated a.t Camp Lewis, Wash. The 49th Infantry is stationed at st. Snelling, Minn. . At the present time the army affords an educational feature in the way of a vocational school and at the end of » three .year enlistment the soldier is given a diploma with his discharge. This school is unlimited in the way of trades it teadhes, and for this reason a poor. boy without educational advantages is assured of a thorough schooling during his period in the army which he would not be able to get in civilian life. Civilian teachers are assist any ex-spldier in obtaining one of them.

G. O. P. TO HAVE RALLY AT MONTICELLO FRIDAY

United States Senator James E. Watson will be the headliner at the Republican rally, which will be held in Monticello Friday afternoon. Other speakers on the program will be Warren T. McCray and other candidates on the state ticket and one of the features will be the ladies’ quartette which sang at the republican national convention in Chicago in June. Republicans from many counties will be present to hear the issues of, the campaign discussed from a republican standpoint. Senator Watson and his party will go to Delphi in the evening and a meeting will be held there at 7:30 o’clock. His appearance in White county will mark the opening of tile campaign there. County Chairman Moses Leopold of this county has informed the Republican that a meeting similar to the orie which will be held at Monticello will be held here within the next few weeks, and that he is making arrangements to have some of the noted speakers of the country here on that day. Those from this city who attended the meeting at Ade Tuesday state that Senator Watson’s discussion of the League of Nations is well worth going many miles to hear. What Senator Watson doesn’t know about the proposed League of Nations isn’t worth knowing, and the whole* world will tell you. that when it comes to * pouring forth the. English language Jim Watson has no peer.

A card was received by the Republican today from the Rev. W. T. Barbre, who,, with his wife, has been visiting at the home of her parents near Angola for the past several weeks. Rev. Barbre states that they will be home Friday and that they have had a most enjoyable vacation. The nightmare of Millionaire Cox in his dream of the Republicans spending millions to win the election this fall is caused by the heavy load on his party stomach of the waste of $9,0(M),000,000 of the money of the patriotic citizens of this country.
