DEMOCRATS TO OPPOSE LEAGUE

COMPLETE ORGANIZATION TO WORK FOR ELECTION OF SENATOR HARDING. New York, Sept. 19.—Democrats opposed to' the League of Nations have completed the organization of the Harding Democratic 'League to work for the election of the Republican nominee for President. Headquarters has been opened at 47 West Forty-second street, New York. The Harding Democrats oppose Governor Cox, the Democratic candidate, because of subservience to President Wilson and the promised continuance of the policies of the Wilson administration, Rhinelander Waldo, president of the league, announced. Col. Waldo is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, the Filipino insurrecetion and the world war. In the Philippines he was a captain, in the regular army, and served in France during the world war. In addition* to his long military service, he was fire commissioner of New York, and commissioner of the New York police force. Col. Waldo has been a life-long Democrat, but sees in the League of Naitons an issue calling for his support of the Republican candidate. Active In Democratic Politic*. William Bullock, vice president of the Harding Democratic League, has been active in Democratic politics in New York for many years. He is president of the Good Government Bureau and was head of Tammany hall’s Bureau of City Inquiry, which organized sand directed four successful Democratic campaigns. “We are all Democrats in the league, and our executive committee of 100 Democrats in all sections of the country,” said Col. Waldo. “We are not only voters for Harding, but active, enthusiastic workers for him. Our platform is short and direct. We are for patriotism before partisanship. We are for America first. We want no League of Nations, with its trail of 'warproducing alliances. We are against any and all entanglements m Europe. We are against Wilson and autocracy' at home. Turn Against Cox. “Sentiment for the Harding League began to show among Democrats following the call of Governor Cox on President Wilson a few days after his nomination. Many Democrats were for Cox in the belief he stood against Wilsonism and the Wilson League of Nations- They turned against Cox when he hurried to Washington and came away from the White House announcing himself in ‘thorough accord’ with Woodrow Wilson. AU the Democrats in the Harding Democratic League are

WOMEN IN POLITICS

(By Mrs. Joseph B. Kealing) It is fallaciously being urged in this campaign that the women of America are for the Wilson League of Nations; The promulgators of this statement base their faith upon the fact that women hate war, and are opposed to war. So are all right thinking men opposed to war. Except as righteousness, justice and the interests of civilisation demand the sacrifice, men, the same as women, oppose sending their sons as fOdder before the cannon; This is exactly why the nation is not going to be rushed into the acceptance ofa foreign-born League of Nations, the assurance of the success of which is a matter winch must rest on the passions, prejudices and selfishness of men. President Wilson’s dictum that this league will keep us opt of war, is -a dictum, and nothing else. He can no more prove this, than he can prove that the earth is flat. We do know that he did not keep us out of war, although he won his election on this false, hut appealing slogan. The women of America never have refused, and never will refuse ,to give 'heir sons to the country in time of the world s great need. But they do well to hesitate, and think very carefully, before being bound by the terms of a covenant over which parties and chancelleries and individuate, are disputing, some saying that it means K others insisting that it means something else. Ol4i<*tions of Art. 10.

The real meaning of Art. 1° «f the Wilson league toxt is, that Uncle Sam is to be the policeman to protect every lawn in Europe. Thomas P. Gore, a Democratic United States senator homa, has this to say about Art. 10: , . , i “Art. 10 imposes both a legal and moral obligation on the United States to defend the territorial independence of every nation on earth that joins the League of Nations. To say that Congress have to declare war before this obligation could befcarned out is as senseless as to say that Congress has to levy the taxes to pay the Liberty bonds, whit* impose alegal and moral obligation resting upon this country, or gage on the body and blood—a nxss

RENSSELAER OFF OF MAP

WRECK OF FREIGHT TRAIN AT j LEE ANNULLED ALL TRAIN 1 SERVICE. A south bound freight train was wrecked at Lee this Tuesday morning at twenty-five minutes after midnight. J The wreck was caused by a journal burning off under one of the freight cars and resulting in ten cars being piled up and ruined. Thg wreckage took fire from the .burning journal and the cars and , contents are a total loss. Three of the cars were feed, one contained tractors, another machinery, another’electric motors and still another was loaded with cedar mops. The other cars contained lumber and some railroad supplies. The track was badly torn up and, as the wrecking crew was on the south division of the Monon, work clearing the track could not start until noon and it is possible that Rensselaer may not have a train until late this evening or tonight. Water from the tanks brought from Monon was being put on the fire, but little progress was being made. J. J. Montgomery, our hustling news agent, drove to Monon for the daily papers and they were distributed this morning at 11:00 o’clock. . Republican County Chairman Leopold sent an automobile to Monon for Senator Arthur' Capper and. he was here in time to make his address at the opera house at 2:30 p. m.

TO PRESS EARLY.

In order that our force might hear the address or Senator Capper, we went to press early today. This accounts for the lack of the usual amount of news. We will put forth an especial effort to make up for this in future issues.

against Cox in the White House as a Wilson proxy and a Wilson rubber stamp. , 4 . . “The enrollment of Democrats in the Harding League is increasing daily, and a vigorous campaign will be carried on throughout the country. Many of the Democrats who were foremost in the fight to elect Mr. Wilson are members of the Harding Democratic League. A feature of our work from these prominent Democrats giving their reasons for supporting Senator Harding for President.”

lien—on the iife of every American boy beneath the American flag. Art. 10 would involve the United States in every international war that happens in all the centuries that are to come. We want none of it.” * Under the Wilson-Cox League this land of ours would no longer be the light bearer and the hope of the world. Across the seas would come in vain the cry of the despairing. Pledged to perpetuate the nations as they are, enlisted forever in the cause of the strong, we should be bound to turn a deaf ear to the weak. Instead of lifting mankind to a higher level, we would merely sink with it, in its chains. It is no “vision,” it is a nightmare that confronts us in the actuality of Mr. Wilson s dream. George Wa»hington’« Warning. x George Washington’s advice, given in his farewell address to the American people, was,: - “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. It is our policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” ■■ The Wilson league is just such an entangling alMance as Warning ton warned us against. The more we learn about European intrigues, the more we become . convinced that Washington was right when

he said: “Europe has a set of primary interests which to us teve none, or a very remote Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversy, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concern.” . . * ■' Ab Unequal Partnership. The European situation has not materially changed since the days of Washington. We have become a great world power by following his advice. Our women not forget the advice of the father of our country. President Wilson calls it a ‘ partnership of, nations, but it is an unequal partnership, with the Balance of power against the United States, ft creates a super-govern-ment, with authority so great and

WHERE THE PROGRESSIVES ARE

Mr. F. D. Roosevelt, frivously and familiarly referred to by Col. George Harvey as “Feather Duster,” is whisking lightly up and down and across the country telling his hearers how former Progressives who supported Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 and were leaders in that party, are now flocking under the Cox' banner. But he names no names. He might, perhaps, mention Mr. Colby, now secretary of state, who was an ardent Progressive and former Republican, but does not do so, perhaps because of a doubt of that gentleman’s present party , status. Does any one really khow whether Mr. Colby is or is not still affiliated with the Republican party? Of course his appointment to the President’s Cabinet ' might be accepted by some as conclusive evidence that he has become a Democrat, but it is to be remembered that, when, during the war, President Wilson was looking about for men to fill several of the most responsible positions under the government he was forced to call on Republicans—Herbert Hoover and H. P. Davison, to go no farther. Having tried two Democrats in the secretary of state’s office, what more natural that he should again go outside of his party? At all events, Mr. Colby is now showing signs of ability in that office, which fact at least testifies to the character of his previous political training. . • All this is neither here nor there, however. It seems worth while to call attention to leaders of the Progressive party who are earnestly supporting Mr. Harding. There, for example, is Hiram W. Johnson, candidate for Vice President on the ticket with Theodore Roosevelt, a Harding man. Former United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge, who made the great Progressive speech of the 1912 convention, is now campaigning for the Republican candidate. Gen. Leonard Wood is a Harding man. Former United States Senator John D. Works of California, Miles Poindexter of Washington and Frederick Hale, both now in the /Senate, were all Progressive leaders. Governor H. J. Allen of Kansas and William Allen White are strong Harding men. Medill McCormick of Illinois, Alexander C. Moore, William, Flynn and Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania; Chase S. Osborn of Michigan, Chas. S. Bird of Massachusetts, James R. Garfield and Walter- F. Brown of Ohio, are others who were active and earnest Progressives and are now making speeches for the Republican ticket. The list could be made much longer, did space permit. It goes without saying that the rank and file of the Progressives are now with the Republicans. There were 4,Q00,000 of them, it will be recalled, and there has been no sign of a wholesale exodus since they returned to their former allegiance and gave strength to the Republican party again. The Democratic Roosevelt should really look for more effective ammunition than unsupported claims about former Progressives—-Ind. Star • ■msaMSiasaßMaMi
