Never before ! . i a natlonul campaign year draw n'.ir with fo many uncertain f actor j r.tering Into the situation. Never !-fore were yo many "lo-uled" l-t-s ,s blowing party structures Into -mitherff-r.. .Just what results will come out of ;t'i of it no one is wis enough to predict. Tho elements of unre.st am now in a condition of flux, without inv definite moorings. Later on the will begin to take shape behind Parties, Issues and candidates and then the line-up will become more clear and distinct. I 'our J'uctnrs Svri. There are) now four gre,-?t factors at work changing the political affiliations of men in the United States and making over the political map. They may be defined roughly as follow s: 1 League of Nations. 2 Prohibition. JV. High co.-t of living- " 4 Ilolshevlstic tendencies. Hundreds of thousands of voting American citizens subscribe to the theory that "the United States ought to aitend to Is own business and keep is nose out of European affair?." These people Fay here alre.idv has been altogether too much mixing in matters that do not i ncern the United States, and that this nation can best preserve is'povr for good throughout the world by remaining strong and independent, rather than by being tied to a J-ague of Nations in which foreign powers will always be able to outvote the United States bIx to one. Thy shudder at the thought that American boys will be conscripted to Keep the peace and put down uprisings among European nation3 with whom war is a pastime and who are always at each other's throats. Sentiment l Strong. That the sentiment is very strong among people who take this view and that It is growing stronger all the time is Indicated by the change in the trend of correspondence that is now coming to senators and representatives. Many persons who at first blush thought the League of Nations would be an Insurance policy against future wnrs have reached different conclusions and are frankly writing to members of congress that they have changed their minds. The changing tide of correspondence seems to furnish a basis for the prediction now often made that if action on the League covenant were delayed a year the sentiment of the country would be found almost unanlrrous against it. This situation gives rise to potential possibilities looking toward the formation of a n?w party. Presumably the League of Nations covenant will he ratified with reservations, ?n which event the basic purpose In the formation of the new party, which probably would be called the "American" party, would be to pave the way for a withdrawal of the United States from the league In the manner prescribed in the League constitution. Sen. Borah of Idaho already has served notice that If the league is ratified, he will transfer his allegiance to such a new party. even if he Is the only member of it. and he has Indicated it will have nt least one othT member, meaning Sen. Johnson of California. That a new party, based on the principle of "America for Americans" and freedom from entangling alliances, would attract an enormous followin? cannot bo doulted. lieg in In Texas. Down In Texas th first steps already have been taken toward the formation of another new national party, to be composed of men who are dissatisfied with reforms that have been wrought at home under xh democratic party as now constituted, particularly prohibition and woman suffrage. The Anti-Saloon league of America, the force that brought ntnut the existing "dry" state, is fortifying itself to meet this new movement. Wayne B Wheeler, general counsel of the league and its spokesman in ail such matters, has i'.red the league's first shot at th proposed new 'party in th- follow Ir.g statement: "Any national party whose mission i-5 to repeal an amendment ratified by 4 3 states and to resurrect the most lawless and corrupt trafile which ever cursed the American people and to champion reaction .ter.erally is doomed to failure before it starts." Mr. Wheeler called attention that former Sen- Joe Bailey, who is the leading factor along with former Gov. Ferguson, in the Texas "disturbance" made his tirst threat to form a r.ew party at the legislative hearing at Albany ch Feb. J.', when he said: "Would you destroy the union to destroy the va'oon? The organization of a r.ew party is inevitable." Begin Now Ago. "It war. manifest on that occasion. continued Mr. Wheeler, "that the dominant tactor back of thi? proposed new party was to be proliluor an anti-woman suffrage. The founders cf this new party fail to

existing political pirties cannot Ilvt and tie themselves to rcrrn'tiif.,' evils and dying principles New nol itual parties will die at birth they havt) no hicher mission than to lead the people backward." Notwithstanding Sen. Uailey's effort looks like a flivver to start, it is highly significant as showing the trend within the democratic party of the south where a strong revulsion h.'is b-en caused by federal interference in business. Secretly nearly all the southern democrats in congress are condemning modern tendencies and are demanding a return to state's rights and Jefferso:ian principles"licasuc'' to Ilroadeii? The so-called "Xon-partis m league," which has been strong for some time in certain sections of the northwest. K showing signs of broadening into a national party made tip of those who are discontent with the trend of things. Recently a "committee of 4 8" was organized in New York to start a new party and it subsequently held an ' adjourned meeting in Chicago to ! plnn organization work In the cen-! tral west. Otto W. Knaub. who seems to be the spokesman for this new movement, said: "The committee is made up of representative citizens who realize the spirit of unrest in the economic " and Focial world in which we live. At present there seems to be no political organization which exactly meets the situation. We fire now considering the formation of a new political party, or the founding of a league to function with the Nonpartisan league or the labor party." These are only a few of the many signs Indicating possibilities cf new political formations in the United States. The air at the nation's capital is filled with rumors of new political parties or splits from old ones. THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF MEAT TAKEN FROM BOTTOM OF CREEK By Associated Tress: ALEXANDRIA, Ind..
