FAVOR FOR FORT DODGE
That City Wants to Know II II Can

Question to be Brought

A telegram has been received by
President NJ. e. Justice of the Cen
trail association from MarshalItown
baseball authorities, asking that the
meeting of the directors of the league
for the purpose of passing on Keo-
kuk's surrender of her franchise and
voting in a new league member, be
held this week in Cedar Rapids in
stead of next week
President Justice replied that there
was plenty of time TO take action and
that it would be better to wait until
the Rock Island tangle had been
Strengthened out before the meeting
was called. II four clubs Of the
league. however, ask that the session
be held this week, Justice will then
have to call it. So far only Marshall
town has taken up the matter.
For Fort Dodge.
The following dispatch from Mar
shalltown tells the reason the direc-
tors of that club want the meeting
held this week:
MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Feb. 23.-
Believing that further delay in the
settlement Of the Rock Island contro-
versy will prove disastrous to the
Central association, steps nave been
taken by the Marshalltown directors
to hurry the case to a speedy and
definite conclusion. A message to
President Wilbur from Fort Dodge
prompted call for a special meeting
Of the association to be he'd this
week at Cedar Rapids, with a view
of determining the personnel of the
association of this season.
The Fort Dodge directors state that
they are ready to enter the Central
association. that they have a sufficient
amount of money to finance a club,
and have chosen manager. Further
delay, however, will mean the with
drawal of the Fort Dodge application
and the time is short in which to
make arrangements for the coming
year, and should the Dodgers be ex-
cluded from organized baseball the
directors feel that they should be so
Informed at once that they may COM
plete a schedule for semi-profes-
sional team.

WOULD MEAN WAR

IL OoIoISI ROOS0VeIC, II 0 w
known as Eat em-alive" Roose-
welt, properly speaks for Candi-
date Hughes, then this country's
entrance into the European war
will be a certainty, if Hughes is
elected. AS the Oregon Journal
truly interprets the Roosevelt
speech at Battle Creek, Roose-
welt would have plunged this
country into. the conflict at an
early stage. The Journal says:
AS an example of what the
Roosevelt-Hughes war policy
would lead to, we are partly in
formed by Mr.. Roosevelt's Battle
Creek speech. In that speech
he said that if he had been
President at the time of the
sinking of the Lusitania, Il
would istantly have taken pos
session of every German ship in
termed in this country"
That would have been an act
of war. 1t would have been the
beginning of hostilities. That
would have been deeds, not
words" That would have so
angered the then victorious Ger
man people that, even if he so
desired, the kaiser could not
have resisted their demand for a
declaration of war against the
United States. 1t would have
meant our immediate and terri
BILE plunge into the vortex of the
European conflict.
It would have meant our i'm
mediate dispatch of all available
American warships to Europe.
1t would have meant the hasty
mobilization of the American
army.
It would have meant the i'm
mediate calling out of the
national guard of the various
states. 1t would have meant
hurried and pressing calls for
volunteers.
1t would have meant the break
ing up of American homes by
the departure of sons, brothers,
husbands and fathers to the bat
tie front. 1t would have meant
the departure for the bloody
trenches of thousands upon
thousands of Americans who
would never return. 1t would
have meant the disappearance of
t h e trancendent prosperity
brought into this country be-
cause President Wilson has kept
US in peace. It would have
meant the withdrawal of millions
of men from productive industry,
the sending of all the boys of
American farms to death or in
validism in trench scanned Eur
ope. 1t would have meant fin
ancial crash, business depression
and stagnated n d ustry. 1t
would have meant billions of
debt saddled upon this country as
it is being saddled upon Europe
for future generations to pay by
their sweat and toll.
The issue is made. Mr.. Roose-
velt's and Mr.. Hughes, attacks
on President Wilson for peace
and its consequent prosperity are
making the gravest issue faced
by this country since the Civil
