EX-GOV. BRUMBAUGH SPEAKS

(Continued from Page One)

people. He bewailed the fact that America spent so much money in preparation which was not needed. He said $106,000,000 was spent in building cantonments which are not any more needed. To quote him exactly, he said: “The money was wasted, wasted, wasted.” One could not but wonder if the boy who ate and slept in those barracks on the cold nights thought they were wasted, wasted, wasted? He told of Nitro, W. V., which cost $61,000,000 and then did not make any powder! The ex-governor would have been considered a great patriot had he spent the time in praising the effi clency of the American army In helping bring to a close the war 18 months sooner than anyone expected. There were many mothers in the audience who said In Itheir hearts, “I am glad Nitro did not get to make any powder.” These same mothers are glad that so far as its use now is concerned they are glad all of the money spent for camps, armaments and munitions is wasted. Military men have said over and over again that the preparation which America made for the war was one of the great factors in winning the war. It seems the ex-governor would have had us save a few dollars and given several thousand mdre boys. It was heart-rending to the patriots present to hear the speaker make light of American ingenuity and mechanical skill when he referred to the airplanes produces by America that could do nothing but go up and come down to get more gas to go up again. Mr. Braumbaugh may have such an opinion of American mechanical skill but the voters of the land do not.

The speaker spent very little time with the greatest issue of the campaign and no doubt for good political reasons, especially if the people present should be Inclined to check up on his statements. He represented that the league provides that America might, have another $30,000,000 debt placed upon her. The matter he referred, to was article 16, which any Democrat is glad to have read. . „ One of the great sxfrprises was his attack on the war tax, especially on medicine. The mind of many in -the audience at once remembered the Republican origin of the war tax, especially on medicine. He did not say, either, that a Republican congress refused to lower any war tax or make any changes when requested to by President Wilson. In discussing the matter of taxing the sick man, he showed that he was (speaking for the Republican party) in frivor of universal military training. He called it universal physical training. Realizing that many Republicans are |n favor of the league of nations, hS'said we will have a league of nations. (He perhaps had not read Senator Harding’s Des Moines speech.) The whole speech will, no doubt as a boomerang on the Republican campaign wherever it is made. It is unfortunate for the

MISSIONARY GIVES HIS VIEWS

Minister Says League of Nations Is a Great Moral Issue. Kokomo, Oct. 8. —Speaking yesterday afternoon before the Universalist state convention at Galveston, near here, the Rev. John Clifford, minister and president of the convention, said that the league of nations is a great moral issue, worthy of the support of the American nation. He said that his attitude was not prompted by political motives, and explained - that he would be “unworthy of my calling were I not to voice my convictions concerning an issue of such vital importance to Christianity. “I can not do otherwise except give the league of nations my absolute indorsement,” he said, “when I realize that the whole system of religion is based on the principles it embodies —namely, the brotherhood of man and the Fatherland of God. I believe this is indisputable and bears no challenge, since it is the fundamental alm of the covenant.” The Rev. Mr. Clifford said that it Is a shame that the league has been made a political issue. The other ministers who followed Mr. Clifford on the program supported the “world union” idea. A missionary said that in all parts of the world there is general recognition of the fact that there must be a universal co-opera-tion, and if the people of the United States fail to do their part the nation is disgraced.

PROHIBITION TREASURER QUITS

Says He Will Support Cox and the League of Nations. Indianapolis, Oct. 9. —Orin Jessup of Indianapolis, state treasurer of the Prohibition party, today sent his resignation from the treasurership, to the state chairman, Charles M. Filmore', because, he said in his letter, “I have decided to cast my vote whener I think it will have the greatest weight for the league of nations.” Mr. Jessup is a real estate man, head of the Orin Jessup Land company. • . Mr. Jessup’s letter to Mr. Filmore follows in part: “My dear Mr. Filmore: “Please present this, may reSignation as state treasurer of the Prohibition party, to the executive committee. I have decided to cast my vote where I think it will have the greatest weight for the league of nations. “I have been thinking as the campaign progressed, up to this time that *it mattered not which presidential candidate was elected, the league would be adopted in some form. But now ’ that Mr. Harding has come out In such plain language that no one can misunderstand and says he is against the whole leaguS, I deem It my moral and patriotic duty- to vote for the Democratic nominee, who Is just as plain in his language that he is for the league. I decided the league of nations was right before it was made a campaign issue. Almost the whole press was for it, including Republican papers, at that time and now that it is a campaign' Issue the Republican press has no influence upon my opinions whatever; If It was right before it became a campaign target It Is still right i "My sympathies, as you know, have

always been Republican, but I not put party before principle; that was why I have always voted the Prohibition ticket. Mr. Fllmore, you know that prior to the national Prohibition convention my opinion was that the Prohibition party had served its purpose and I was in favor of delegates voting to abandon the party and openly voiced my sentiments many times. The country is “dry,” the nation has seen Its effects and no power on earth will ever bring back the old saloon days. “Then again I advocated the elimination of a state ticket for there was plenty of ‘dry’ men in other parties for us to vote for. I did not object to the nomination of Mrs. Cula J. Vayhinger for senator as I never did like Jim Watson’s ‘dry’ speeches In ‘dry’ cities and ‘wet’ speeches in ‘wet’ cities in the campaign of 1908. I never like a straddler on any moral issue and I was led to believe that Tom Taggait was always ‘wet.’ But when I saw Tom Taggart’s straight ->out from the shoulder promise to do everything he could to maintain the Volstead law and in language that could not be mistaken and now that Cula J. .Vayhinger has withdrawn from the race there is not a single straw for me to hang to. So therefore I can not think of remaining an official nt the party. I would not be true if I did when my decision is now. firmly made to not vote either the ststo or national Prohibition tickets in November.”

COURT NEWS

By hurrying up the attorneys and holding a night session of court Friday night, Judge Hanley was able to close up the Collison vs. Collison divorce case Saturday afternoon, and a decision will be rendered this Friday. Monday Judge Hanley and Court Reporter Joe Reeve went to Kentland to open the October term of court there. This will be Judge Hanley.’s last term in either county, as the judge elected Nov. 2 will qualify and take his office within 10 days thereafter. Judge Hanley has served three terms —18 years—and no more popular judge ever sat on the bench in this circuit. While quite a strong partisan In politics, the judge is conceded to have been fair with all litigants, has held the respect of Democrats as well as Republicans while on the bench, and each time he was a candidate he received many Democratic votes as a result. There has been no more popular circuit judge in the whole state, in fact, than Judge Hanley, and his retirement from the bench will be generally regretted, both by attorneys and the public.
