By Agreement Council Will
Have Same Members,
One Exception.
NEW MEMBER IS
CHAS. H. SHEFFIELD
Fight Made Entirely For
the Election of
the Mayor.

The town election passed off Tues
day quietly, but very good vote
was polled, both factions working
hard. By agreement, both factions
voted for one set of aldermen, the
fight being between the two candi-
dates for mayor, A. d. Schwartz and
Robt. w. Badon, all the names being
on one ticket While the agreement
as to the aldermen was supposed to
do AWAY with factional politics, and
did in effect split the two factions,
the fight was still bitter and leaders
of both factions worked quite active
ly in securing votes. Badon ran as
an independent candidate but was
generally supported by the old
League members, while Schwartz
was the acknowledged candidate of
the Regulars and received the sup
port of the Regulars wherever they
could be gotten into line.
Mr.. Badon was elected by a ma
jority of 80 votes The seven votes
cast for Badon under protest, were
not counted, as they were not need
ed. The total vote was 308.
Notwithstanding the agreement to
accept the aldermen on the ticket,
there was considerable scratching OF
these names, supposed to be by the
Regulars, especially of Mackie and
Schonberg, due to their active work
in the campaign.
Mr.. Chas. H. Sheffield, the new
member, received the highest num-
ber of votes of all the aldermen. He
was accepted by both sides to take
the place OF Mr. Schwartz.
Mr.. Robt w. Badon, elected
mayor, is a high degree Mason in
good standing and is Shriner. He
has business interests in Covington
and has always taken interest in
town affairs. He states that his
chief desire, in aspiring to the office
of mayor, is to advance the interests
of Covington and to see that its laws
are enforced. The popular vote CIV
en- him is an indication that the peo-
pie believe he will do what he prom
ises and that he will be an impartial
official.
The vote was as follows:

WHAT SHERMAN DID SAY.

General Sherman's often quoted
and at the present time most signiti-
cant statement regarding war is not
known by many in it's entirety. Here
iss what the famous General really
did say, and it's classic:
81 confess without shame that |
am tired and sick of war. Its glory
is all moonshine. Even success, the
most brilliant, is over dead and
mangled bodies, the anguish and
lamentations of distant families ap-
pealing to me for missing sons, hus-
bands and fathers. 1t is only those
who have not heard shot nor heard
the shrieks and groans of the wound
ed and lacerated that cry aloud for
more blood, more vengeance, more
desolation. War is hell!

FALL WILL SEE LEAGUE
OF NATIONS WORKING
is GFEIAL'S BELIEF
Many Minor Changes VIII
PrObabIy Be Made In Con-
stitstion, However.
By Fred S. Ferguson.

| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent :.
Paris, March 4.-The league of ma
tions, according to the opinion prevail
| ing in official circles here today, will
start functioning soon after the gener-
al peace settlement is effected, cenain-
" rot later than early fall.
The great majority of the peace dele
gated apparently are agreed that the
present covenant represents the com
posite world view, as nearly as possible
and that it will be adopted practically
as it stands. While there is still in
tense interest in the attitude Of Wash
! ingtoa, attacks ON the league constitu-
tion-such as those of Senator Lodge
and Senator Knox--have not created
the impression that was expected among
the foreign conferences. The latter feel
that American opposition mas only
touched on plans that were thoroughly
threshed out and agreed upon in dis
cussions by the league committee.
Details May be Changed.
While the basic principles of the lea
que are expected to remain as. outlined
at present there seems to be some
doubt that many Of the details will
undergo some changes when the consti-
tuition comes up for open debate before
the general peace conference. Numer
GUS suggestions have already been re-
ccivod from neutral countries and others
win be asked to offer ideas.
Discussion Of military, naval ana air
terms of the preliminary peace with
Germany was not completed yesterday
and will be taken up again Thursday
by the supreme war council. 1t was
reported that the aerial provisions, as
recommended by the allied military Of
ficials, contemplate reduction Of Ger
many s air force to a few hydro-planes,
which would be used in searching for
mines still floating in northern wat"rs.
In the face of reports of Increasing
serious conditions in Germany, plans for
partial reduction Of the economic
blockade are being held up by the
French continuing to refuse permission
for Germany to pay for food with mon
ey and securities that otherwise might
be available for reparation Members,
Of the food administration and the eco
nomic council hone to straiehten ont tisal
situation and carry out the original
program for easing the blockade.

WILSON DETERMINED
NOT TO CALL EXTRA
SESSION OF CONGRESS
VIII Leave Last Message To
People Before Leaving For
France In New York.
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.) =.
Washington, Mar. 4.-President Will
son left Washington at l:55 o'clock this
afternoon, prepared for "show down"
before the people in his fight with SEN
ate republicans.
The president regards the issue on
the league of nations as c.eariy drawn
along this line:
Lcague-and peace, or no peace-and
inevitable war resulting from competi-
tive ornaments. He remarked not long
sgo to some friends that when great
competitive navies and armies are main
tanned they cannot be kept idle forever.
Would Hold laxes Up.
And the immediate result of such
armies and navies, his advisors point
out, is heavy and constantly mann
tanned tax burden, Of which the people
are now getting taste as result Of
the great war.
That the president win pursue this
thought in his final appeal to the peo-
pie in New York tonight, was lnumatcd
by his advisors today.
The president stepped aboard spec
ial train at 1:55 p. m. aud it left for
New York two minutes later.
There win be no change in his plans
to return to France on schedule and
he has not relaxed his determination
to call no extra session of cingress
now, it was stated officially.
The challenge set up by senate repub-
licans on his league of nations cove
nant, the president is comment, Will
be accepted "back home'' ana Che
people, he believes, will demand its
when the time comes.
Depend on People.
The fate Of the league rests now in
the hands of the rank and file of the
American people On their decision,
when it is finally taken up, will de-
pend also whether William Howars
Taft and those republicans out of con
gress who favor the league document
will control the republican party in
1920 or whether Lodge and his col
leagues in the senate will be in the
saddle when campaign years rolls a.
round.
1t is stated by republicans in the
senate today that the idea Of approach
ing democratic solons for signr,ures
on the Lodge resolution was apanuoned
because republicans Wished TO
