THE PRO-GERMANS AGAIN

Events in this country are just now moving so rapidly that it may perhaps have been forgotten that the German-American Citizens’ league, successor to the old GermanAmerican alliance, whose charte, congress canceled, met in Chicago in May.for the purpose of “instructing” both conventions against the league of nations. The Republican platform, as interpreted by the Republican candidate, is hostile to the league, and so, apparently, satisfactory to the German-American Citizens’ league. Indeed, delegates who met in Chicago 10 days ago selected Senator Harding as the Ger-man-American Citizens’ league’s candidate for the presidency, declaring that the league of nations was

the great issue, and that on that he was “right.” There are, of , course, many Germans in this country who will resent this effort to revive old differences, and much more any attempt to deliver the so-called German vote. Already this organization is interfering in the local affairs of Illinois. It has indorsed as candidates for governor and senator the men backed by William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, though the American Legion refused to meet in that city simply because Thompson is mayor. Against this combination the loyal Republicans, under the leadership of Governor Lowden, are making a brave fight. That they may win will be the hope of all-'patriotic citizens. But the fact of chief importance is that the German-American Citizens’ league, which is supporting the Thompson candidates, is also supporting Senator Harding. In its resolutions, “instructing” the two national conventions, adopted last May, was this:

We further oppose the peace treaty of Versailles, with its hellish, hateful and revengeful propositions, for two reasons, (1) because those propositions are not in line with our estimates of American humanity; in fact, they most dieadfully conflict therewith, and (2) for the practical reason that said peace treaty amounts to the greatest stupidity, because we are assisting in ruining our second best customer of our export trade (killing the goose that lays the golden eggs for us). The New York Evening Sun boasted, only a few days ago, that “not one prominent German daily stands behind Governor Cox in his drive for the presidency, and against him are added hundreds of German weekly and monthly periodicals which are rapidly coming into the field again after being virtually starved out in the war.” The Evening Star quotes Julius Holz, general manager of the Staats-Zeitu"ng, which is also for Senator Harding, thus:

It is impossible to speak of the German-American vote any longer. It is the American-German vote. America is first with all Germans tn this country. And we do not believe that the league, Mr. Wilson or Mr. Cox are the best that can be obtained for America. And they are the worst that could be obtained for Germany. It is still, it will be observed, the hyphen, though we must now read American-German rather than Ger-man-American. And the effort is to smash a treaty because it is “the worst that could be obtained for Germany.” Such developments as these ought greatly to strengthen the league of nations with the American people.—lndianapolis Newb (Rep.). “If Col. Roosevelt were alive today, I would be speaking for him rather than for myself as the nominee for the presidency,” said Senator Harding in a recent “front porch” speech. We wonder if he would repeat his previous assertions thajt the colonel was the "Benedict Arnold” and the “Aaron Burr” of the Republican party?” Governor Goodrich is scheduled to make an address on the "Uses and Abuses oij the Pardon Power.” Persons interested in crimlhology)

THE DEMOCRAT

are wondering whether he will explain why 1,165 convicts have been released during his administration while Governors Ralston and Marshall combined granted freedom to only 465. Now that the amended Goodrich tax law has proven to be a piece of political camouflage, and the blue sky law has been found full of jokers and the coal control bill has been attacked by two law suits, it will be hardly possible for the Republicans to base their claim for reelection on their reputation as legislators. t In a recent address Senator Watson voiced the belief that If the I United States had entered the league of nations, American soldiers would now be fighting on the Polish front. If this Is true, why are not Canadian boys over there, for Canada has ratified the covenant? Warren T. McCray in: an address to the Harding club of Marion county declared the country wants a change iu the White House, but insisted in unmistakable terms that Indiana should, by electing him governor, perpetuate Goodrichism in the state house.

GRACE JULIAN CLARKE UPHOLDS WORLD PACT

Noted Woman Writer Declares. That League Covenant Is Only Guarantee of Lasting Peace. Anderson, Ind., Aug. 30.-*-“The heart of the league of nations covenant is a new international commandment, ‘Thou shalt not steal,’ ” Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke said this afternoon in an address given on the league of nations before a large audience here. Mrs. Clarke, who was formerly head of the State Federation of Women’s clubs, is speaking for the Democratic party throughout Indiana on the league and its importance as an agency for international peace. Mrs. Clarke has always been nonpartisan in her political viewpoint until the* present, campagln. She says that the position taken by the Republican party on the league of nations has forced her from nonpartisanship. “The league covenant,” Mrs. Clarke said, “is not an abstruse and involved document but very clear and simple. It Is quite capable of comprehension by the average person," | -v :£.'»*-*• ■ r** She examined the provisions of the league constitution under four heads: reduction of armament, settlement of International disputes by

arbitration, abolishment of secret treaties and the end of imperialism. Meant Reduction of Armament “Reduction of armaments,” Mrs*. Clarke said, “is provided for under Article VIII. of the league compact. History teaches us that all great wars have resulted chiefly from huge military preparations. We all know that Germany’s huge military equipment and the war party which this militarism developed, was primarily responsible for the world war. Vast armaments have always necessitated enormous taxation; they have withdrawn from production, by conscription, all able-bodied young men, they have nourished a spirit of autocracy and conscienceless greed; and they have developed that destructive lust exhibited by Germany in the late war.” Mrs. Clarke told her audience that limitation of armament is practicable and proved her point by citing the cases of Canada and the United States. Both of these nations have always had a small armament, sufficient merely for the needs of defense, she said, and because of the limitations voluntarily placed upon its army and navy the United States has never developed a spirit of international aggression.

“War must be the last resort in settling difficulties that arise between nations within the league,” Mrs. Clarke said. “Any* controversy between two nations must be submitted to three bodies in turn before the disputing nations may resort to war. These bodies are the council, the assembly and the international court, provided for in the covenant. The machinery of this court is now being established. Forbidden to Declare War “If either nation is dissatisfied with the findings of these bodies it is forbidden, under the league covenant, to go to war for at least three months after the award of the last body has been made. Nearly a year will then have been consumed by the deliberations and the enforced wait. It is evident that a delay of such length will go far toward mollifying the temper of the belligerents.” Mrs. Clarke explained the economic boycott and analyzed its effect. It could be used by the league as a last resort to prevent war, she said, by depriving the belligerents with the supplies necessary to carry on war.

“The object of the league is to preserve peace among the nations by assuming certain obligations that will be binding on all alike,” said Mrs. Clarke. “It does not establish a super-state. It does not commit its members for all time, but only for two years. It does not involve sending of American soldiers to remote regions or sending them anywhere without the consent of congress. It does not destroy the Monroe doctrine, but for the first time in its history the principle is recognized by the nations of the world. It does not given England six votes to our one, for decisions alone are reached by unanimous consent.” Mrs. Clarke stated that In her opinion the only hope of independence for Ireland lies in the league of nations. The speaker has long been identified with work in the interest of peace. At the present time she holds an official position in the League to Enforce Peace.

MOTOR CAR MAKER TELLS WHY HE IS FOR COX

Evansville, Aug. 30. —Felix Hinkle, manager of the Hinkle Motor company of this city, who says he is a Republican by “inclination and association,” has publicly announced that he support- James M. Cox for president. Mr. Hinkle was formerly employed by Governor Cox as an advertising manager of one of , the governor’s papers, the Springfield News. “I am voting for Cox the man,” he said, "because he is miles ahead of Harding. While I am a Republican by inclination and association, set I shall vote for Cox, because I know a better man for the presidency could not be found. “If Cox is elected it will be the greatest personal victory any president ever had. He is a man no machine can run. Washington will find it has no baby on its hands if Cox goes to the White House. He has the respect of the laboring man and the employer and he appreciates what is done for him. didn’t write letters complimenting an especially good piece of newspaper work, but he did see that the employe’s salary was increased.” Mr. Hinkle was employed by Governor Cox for three years. He drove the governor in the Hinkle car whjte he was a guest at Evansville. /

COX EXPOSE JARS HOOSIER LEADERS

G. O. P. Workers Search in Vain for Satisfactory Explanation of Huge Blush Fund In Order to Face Outraged Public. OLD GUARD DENIALS FAIL TO CONVINCE PEOPLE Indianapolis, Ind. —Governor Cox’b charges that a 115,000,000 “slush fund” was being raised by the Republican national committee for the purpose of “buying an underhold on the presidency,” made in Pittsburg last Thursday night, has kept the G. O. P. leaders of Indiana busy since seeking an adequate explanation. Try as they might Republican workers who are not on the “inside councils” of their party find little of*comfort in the statements of their leaders and they are facing the growing storm of outraged public opinion with every feeling of apprehension. For instance Will H. Hays, the Republican national chairman on whom fellow party workers relied for an excuse for the Cox charges, could not see fit to issue any denial at all. Instead, the versatile chairman only remarked: Wants Subscribers Protected. “Governor Cox may not attack the integrity of those who have contributed toward the fund.” Senator Harry New, who is also well up in the councils of his party, did not deny that the “sky is the limit” in the Republican effort to land the presidency.

“Very poor stuff, very thin stuff from a man who thinks he Is & candidate for president,” was Mr. New’s comment on the expose. Even E. M. Wasmuth, Republican state chairman,, was not in a position to wholly deny the Cox charges, admitting that the “state committdS' is engaged in raising by popular subscription throughout the state, a sum necessary to take care of a budget for legitimate campaign expenses and at the same time a fund for the national committee.” Republicans admit privately that Governor Cox has given a nefr and unexpected turn to the campaign and that his revelation of a huge slush fund has left them unprepared for even a defensive attitude. The fact that their own leaders who are in possession of the Inside facts are unable to issue satisfactory denials has left them nonplussed and to quote one of them they “are considerably up in the air.” It is generally understood that the $125,000 quota assigned to Indianapolis, as disclosed by the governor’s figures, was to have been raised through the co-operation of Mayor Jewett’s political machine with the state organization. This is the same machine that knifed its own candidate for governor, J. W. Fesler, in preference for Warren T. McCray, since which both the Jewett and McCray organizations have found that they have much in common.

AGED REPUBLICAN TO VOTE FOR COX

Indianapolis, Ind.-—Captain D. D. Negley of Indianapolis, a Civil war veteran and father of Senator Harry E. Negley, Republican floor leader in the Indiana Senate, is going to vote the entire Democratic ticket this fall. “I began talking about the need of a legue of nations in 1864,” said Captain Negley. “After a man has seen stacks of human beings killed in battle he is ready to indorse anything that will lead to international peace and that is why I am going to vote the Democratic ticket The Democrats are right on the league of nations issue and the Republicans are wrong. , - -r < “I am a Republican by principle, but I can not stand the corruption of the Republican party in tjiis jjoijgty agd sjgtej nor can I stand with ap? party that is opposed to the covenant. am going to vote for James M.
