Senator Poindexter says: "The pow
ers vested in a League of Nations
must necessarily be exercised by men.
If we may suppose that the men who
will first be chosen to act for the
nations will be both good and wise,
men to whom we can trust our great
policies of state, our peace, security
and the honor of our country, what
guarantee have we that the changing
personnel of the supreme council will
continue to be wise, benevolent, charit-
able and humane? Good and great
men have been scarce in the history
of the world; and why should we as
sumo that the League will be domi-
mated only by the good and the great!'

A DANGEROUS SITUATION
FOR THE UNITED STATES.

The proposed constitution of the
league of nations contains no provi-
sions for disarmament. There is talk
in 1t about disarmament, but there is
no provision for disarmament. 1t pro-
vides that the league might make a
decree reducing the armament of the

ELECTION IN 1920
Mrs. MediII Mccormick Makes
Some Predictions Concerning
the Presidency.

Washington, D. C.-(SpeciaD Mrs.
Medill Mccormick, Chairman of the
Republican Women's National Execu-
tive Committee, in an interview today
stated her belief that no man can be
nominated by the Republicans in 1920
who opposes women's suffrage.
"The fact should not be overlooked"
said Mrs. Mccormick, shat over
twenty states have decided to let their
women vote for Presidential electors
in 1920. Fifteen of these states are
located west of the Mississippi. Prob
ably 100000 or 100000 women will
vote and they will be able to, dictate
the choice Of many electors, perhaps
quite enough to turn the result one
way or the other"
