LET’S GO! AMERICA FIRST

NATIONAL chairman calls ALL REPUBLICANS TO . * THE COLORS. • Chicago, Oct. 31.—The following statement was given out at NewYork today by Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee: * “Two years ago, speaking in my capacity as chairman of the Republican National Committee, I appealed to Republicans to reject President Wilson’s amazing demand for the bestowal of absolute authority upon himself as Executive. The result at the polls was emphatic and decisive. The Wilson demand was denied, by an enormous majority. “Nevertheless, he contemptuously ignored the verdict which he had sought, assumed the attitude of an autocrat, refused to heed the advice of a co-ordinate branch of the government as required by the Constitution, perpetuated for the United States aihong all the nations of earth a state of technical warfare, lirevented the repeal of arbitrary aws considered essential to effective conduct of war, but universally recognized as burdensome and harmful in time of peace, permitted all the Executive departments to lapse into a condition of inefficiency bordering upon utter collapse and postponed in excusable manner resumption of the normalcy which alone can produce prosperity throughout our country. “This is a mere, compact statement -of facts. “It now becomes my duty in like capacity again to speak upon the eve of a National Election. Few words are necessary. The issues are fixed and plain. “Upon the Democratic side you have:

“(1). Internationalism, involving the United States, contrary to its traditions and for the first time ’ln its history, in a military alliance with four other great powers to superimpose their will upon all other peoples on Earth. “(2). Wilsonism, comprising the truly dreadful effects of unpardonable unpreparedness for both war and peace, an unprecedented orgy of waste and extravagance, a wholly unintelligent and ruinous taxation and an aggregation of executive heads notoriously matchless for inefficiency. “(31, Campaign methods. “(4). James M. Cox. “Upon the Republican side you Im vo • “(1). Americanism, comprehending the preservation of the Independence of the Republic, the faith of the Fathers, the integrity of the Constitution and an earnest desire to join with all other free Nations in an honorable associa--tion designed, without impairment of self control or self-respect to maintain universal peace upon the enduring basis of justice established under law rather than of authority asserted by force. “(2). Comprehensive of vital domestic problems and determination to solve them through intelligent and sympathetic co-operation of all departments of the government instead of by arrogant domination of one. / a. „ y . .. “(8). A campaign worthy of the party’s traditions and the countrys “(4-. Warren G. Harding. “(5). Calvin Coolidge. “Necessarily the candidates personified the issues. I could ask for no contrast more vivid. ' “Even as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, therefore, I make no appeal specifically or exclusively to Republicans. My few plain wdrds are addressed to all tru Americans. It is not a partisan appeal. It is an appeal to patnot“T simply ask them to VOTE without fail, conformably, to the admonitions of their conscience, their patriotism and their common sense.

NEW YORK TIMES CONDEMNS TACTICS

Chicago, Oct. 31.—The New York Times, one of the foremost Democratic newspapers of the country, today editorially condemns. Democratic tactics in the following edito“TTie campaign methods resorted to by certain opponents of Senator Harding in Ohio who by innuendo and personal defamation have sought to do him injury call for universal denunciation. They are property described by the Trustees of Wooster College as unworthy of the country, and they acted with sound judgment in demanding the resignation of a member of their facul-, Xy who seems to be chiefly respon- ' k “Tte'oMo Jtepufeiean Stat, Cjmthe campaign are important, they are lofty and vital to the welfare of tire people: they have deeply । stirred the public interest A re-! sort to personal attacks of this nature tends to make the strife of politics ignoble.

Henderson, at Fkinbury, Illinois, Wednesday, October 27, about thirty-five members of the family being in atendance. ; The home was beautifully decorated with yellow chrysanthemums. The day bore a very close resemblance to their wedding day of fifty years before, being rainy and cold.

GATHER IN TWO. MORE VICTORIES

LAFAYETTE BOWS TO INDEPENDENTS 12-7 AND KENT1 LAND FALLS BEFORE H. S. *r 9 » ’II - ' ' ' Two more games were put in the Rensselaer victory column Saturday anq Sunday when the high school team avenged their defeat of 1919 at the hands of the Kentland high । school eleven by smothering that club at Riverside park Saturday afternoon in a 34 to 0 victory, the game being little more than a romp for the home pets who scored almost at will during the first half. । The count would have mounted to a much larger figure had not Codch Leighly decided to give his second string men. a workout. The other Rensselaer victory followed on Sunday when Coach Parker’s independent eleven gathered in their fourth straight win of the season by upsetting Battery C of Lafayette in one of the most thrilling and gruelling gridiron classics, ever staged here. ./The game was perhaps the most notable victory ever won by a Red and Black eleven, ahd 'but few of the spectators realized the fact that opposed to the Rensselaer players were men who had won renown in western college circles. The finish of the contest found the game Rensselaer warriors battered and bruised standing on their own four yard mark with darkness fast descending and with, but one minute to play,.and the ball in the possession of Lafayette. A defeat looked imminent as the Lafayetteans had carried the ball from their own thirty yard line to within a few ffeet of the Rensselaer goal in a four-minute march. The* situation looked decidedly desperate as Coach Parker had no reserves to call upon and it was so dark that the Rensselaer players were having difficulty in distinguishing the runner. a A few seconds remained when Bailey, the visiting fullback, who had torn the. Red and Black line to bits throughout the afternoon, gathered the oval beneath his arm and crashed into the left side of the Rensselaer line in a final attempt to add the necessary six points for victory. Even before the ball had stopped moving the timekeeper’s whistle sounded. But the Rensselaer line mustered its strength and the hall waq four feet from the coveted mark when the referee untangled the players. Errors of ommission and commission and’ the failure to boot goals after their touchdowns were responsible for Rensselaer’s narrow es-

cape from defeat. Lafayette had left the field at half time with a 7 to 6 lead, their touchdown being of the flakiest variety imaginable. The play which almost resulted in a Rensselaer defeat occurred just at the close of the first half. The ball was in Lafayette’s possession on Renseslaer’s twenty-yard line. Just as the ball was snapped the timekeeper’s whistle blew for the end of the half which con fused the Rensselaer players who labored under the impression that it was an offside play. The runner advanced a few feet and stopped. By this time most of the Rensselaer players had left the field and a Lafayette player shouted to the runner to go ahead, and the latter scampered over the goal line unhindered. The touchdown was* legal but Dame Fortune was responsible for it At the beginning of the second half Rensselaer started one of her celebrated rushes and within four minutes had addea another touchdown, the result of some magnificent line smashing by Captain Nowels, and a Collins to Phegley pass. Captain Nowels crashed over the Hne on the fourth down, after smashing his way fifteen yards with three Lafayette players clinging to him. It was as fine an exhibition of Hne smashing as has been witness- , ed on the local lot this season. The first Rensselaer touchdown came in the second quarter and was made possible by the consistent gains of Nowels, Colins and Kirk. Quarterback Moore carried the ball. across from the one yard line but was tackled so fiercely that he dropped the oval after crossing the line. Putts beat a Lafayette jersey to it by a fraction of a second. The crowd was electrified thruout the afternoon by the many brilliant plays. Moore in particular was a sattelite during the. first two periods both on the offense and defense and it was his remarkable work that kept the invaders from registering at least one more touchdown. Once he' snatched a forward pass intended for a Lafayette player'out of the air and raced fifty yards behind hastily organised interference, finaHy being tumbled by the Lafayette safety. The intercepted pass came at a most opportune moment as the invaders were elfise to the Rensselaer goal at the tijme. But More was not alone for time and again the giant Putts arose to the emergency by tearing the Lafayette forward wall to pieces and stopping the runner. Then the Lafayette backs would center their attack on Thompson, who played the most remarkable game of his long career and saved many a yard for his' team. Kirk’s work was so uniformly good that it passed almost unnoticed. Ever steady and reliable he kept up the morale of the Red and Black m the moat critical moments and his interference
