TUESDAYS Elections

The elections of Tuesday forecast republican
sweep Of the country next year. The election OF a
republican governor of kentucky by overwhelming
majority is something to be considered. In what
manner this has been brought about is not clear.
The only light we have it is thrown from con-
sressional bye-electon in Tennessee recently re-
sulting in the choice of republican in democratic
district by a decisive majority.
In this district the issue was the League of Ma
tons 1t was prominently raised by the democratic
candidate and was promptly met by the republican
candidate so that it became distinctly party ques
ton II was admitted by the New York World that
it was plainly on that that the democratic can
didate was defeated and in that connection it was
stated that in the south there was a strong
anti-league sentiment. 1t therefore, be presumed
that whatever other causes for the defeat OF the
democratic candidate for governor there may have
been, the League of Nations Likewise, no
doubt the influence weighed against the democrats
in Maryland where the democratic candidate has
been elected, if at ALL by the slenderest majority
The close result in the uncertain state of New
Jersey the election Of the democratic candidate for
governor is attributable to another cause an oppos-
lion 10 prohibition the democratic candidate having
declared strongly for wet policy. Neither there
nor in the New York election where Tammany was
a prominent issue
No doubt six months ago. if the League of Ma
tons had been presented issue in any state of
the Union il would have been endorsed. Though
the president must have spoken without positive in
formation when Ire declared that the people were
overwhelming with him. we think that very large
majority of the people favored the League, any
kind of a League of Nations. At first they heard
the objections which were raised against the COW
enant with impotence. The criticisms seemed
puerile and not offered in good faith
But as time and the discussion proceeded the
question Of Amercanism be set against the
probability of universal peace which the proponents
of the League promised. Such contest so joined
could have but ending. AS soon as the people
began to suspect that the League involved nterna-
tionalism il not indeed, super government, they
fell away from the administration everywhere in great
numbers.
In the beginning the republican leaders were
bestant to take action which might make the COW
enant an issue They disposed to make such
amendments or attach such reservations as would
cover their objections the peace treaty but which
would not result in continuing the matter as an
issue next year. At time we believe Mr. Wilson
was so sure Of popular support whenever the matter
might be presented the people that he had little
choice between the personal triumph that he would
attain in the unreserved ratification of the treaty
and the continuing of it a paramount issue next
year.
But there have been swift changes since then,
and now we believe the republicans would welcome
that before any other issue.

TRAVELETTE

A short time ago Lord Dunsany the
Irish playwright and exporer of fairy
land, gave an Afternoon lecture at
Aeolian Hall in New York. The aud
fence was typical Aeolian one, made =
up largely of cultured ladies, finishing
school girls and studious youths.
Lord Dunsany is everything that one
could expect of a poet, tall and blond
and dreamy, with slight, scholarly
stoop, a mild voice, a wrinkled frockl
coat and the Oldest title in Ireland
His lecture was charming and ended
with a friendly greeting from his coun-
try to ours. Gloyed applause of just
the proper volume indicated the ap-
prevail of the cultured.
In fact all went exceedingly well I'M
til he came down to the Green Room
after the lecture, wearing the unco.I-
scious expression of man trying to
look as if he is not about to be congrat-
ulated. Before he had time to shake
a single kid gloved hand, or autograph
a single book he was confronted by
a wild-eyed woman.
How dare you come over here and
talk about anything but the freedom
of Ireland?" she exploded. ''You call
yourself an Irishman. How dare
She was backed into a corner by a
group of panied. polite people but her
voice could be heard steadily through
rising and falling remonstrances.
The flabbergasted poet turned, re
lieved, to find motherly little lady in
a bright green hat who laid a gentle
hand on his arm.
We know you meant no HARM she
said sweetly, but wasn't it just little
thoughtless Of you not to speak of our
great cause. Don't you see that we
were all little hurt?"
But | came to talk of my own fairy

"Oh, I don't care a damn about

Recognizing the fact that our visi-
tors who have left their homes (and
wives) and have come to attend the
fair, have but little time to keep up
with the trend of world affairs during
this strenuous week, the editor, own
er, and publisher of the Camels Back
has cleveriy arranged to give its out
of-town and out visitors
brief resume Of the worlds news.
Thus our guests will be relieved of
the embarrassment of having to read
either of our CONTEMPORARIES up or
down the street. In choosing these
selections from the worlds news, we
have attempted to pick only those
items that stand -eminently as
news that the reader might otherwise
overlook. We do this for the reason
that our visitors when meeting up with
the many political candidates roaming
at large in this town and making po-
litical hay while the fair sun shines,
may head off entangling conversations
of personal hue, by talking about world
affairs. When you talk about world
affairs, you've got politician running
| for office up tree.
Our news selections this morning
are, in part, as follows:
| Wash, D. C.-There is some talk OF
league of nations of some sort or
other that will be voted upon by the
senate in the near future.
How near is not officially known
but it is stated upon high authority
that is as near as near-beer is to the
real thing.
The idea of a league of nations is
said to be very daring and bold ant

Our Weekly Grab

We have the temerity to suggest that
our local press, judging from the man
ner in which the fair news is handled,
is overlooking the real purpose of the
fair. What's the matter with word
about the various exhibits of livestock,
crops, farm products, poultry show and
so on? We have a bunch that it is
the purpose of state fair to show the
worthwhile things that the state is
accomplishing. So far the local press
has dismissed these things with only a
word or has given them no hear
ing at all.

To conceive it a that he bestows

Any signs of settling.
