 Voting System. .

Atlantic City, Sept 26.-Decentrali- zation of campaign work which would give the north, west and south an equal voice with the east was one of the big questions to come before the, executive committee of the democrat- ic national committee which opened a two day conference here today.

 Eastern, to include New England and the Middle Atlantic states, with head quarters in New York; southern, in-l cluding the southeastern states, with headquarters at Washington; middfeI western. including the central states, headquarters probably in Butte, Mont and the western zone, comprising thel Pacific coast and the southwest, with headquarters in Seattle or Portland.

RUSSIANS GOING
 DEEPLY IN DEBT

London, Sept. i, Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Interest on Russia's state liabilities today amounts annually to approximately 43,5O0,000, according to a state 1nent issued from Omsk by the min ister of finance of the Kolchak gov- ernment.
 In 1914 the national debt was s. 637, 100000 rubles, the statement says. Internal war loans aggregat- ed 35,0O0, 900, ,00O rubles while loans contracted abroad amount to S.OOO,- 00p,000 rubles, thus bringing the debt to a total of about 5O,OOO,OOO,- 900 rubles. About 5O,OOO,O0O rubles yearly would be required for the amortization of this tremendous sum-

SAYS PRESIDENT HAS
 ANTAGON|zED WORLD
Senator Cuulmins Attacks His
 Work in Paris

urorbi,g+on Sept 26.--When President Wilson ended ms "ork at the Paris peace conference the United States had not lrlehu III Eurone Asia or Africa, and our brilliant service in the war was ai- most forgotten in the storm of pro- tests which followed him as ne sa1leo for home" Senator Cummins, re- publican. Iowa, declared today Tn an address in the senate attacking the league of nations covenant
 Sees Possibility of Wars.
 "The only thing the president brought with him which was loy- fully received in America by multl- tudes of good people" Senator cum mins said, was covenant Tor league of nations and thls only pe- cause the people believed many or them without inquiry that the league would bring peace to a War-Weafy world and would maintain It Tn all the years to come. Gradually they are beginning to see the great bur dens we are asked to assume, and gradually they are understanding that there are some provisions in the covenant which must inevitably pro- yoke war"
 Senator Cummins contended that tempt of some senators to charge other senators with opposing the treaty simply to discredit the presl- dent and to accomplish their polltl- cal designs, as well as efforts of the latter group to make it appear that those supporting the president were indifferent, if not hostile, toward the vital concerns of their own country
 U. s. Should Not Butt-In.
 Senator Cumins contended that when the war was ended "our exit should have been as speedy and complete as possible.' This did not mean, however, he added that the country should have abandoned it's allies or made a separate peace with Germany "but it does mean that it was not our duty to associate our selves with foreign powers in reform ing the map of the world and in agreeing to maintain it as the Victors had made it.''
 Conforming disposition of Shan tung, Senator Cummins said he wanted to relieve the American re- public from the eternal odium of the Shantung crime,' and from the disgrace of passing over Thrace to Bulgaria" There will be many Shantungs, he said, and if the princi- pal associated powers worked in harmony it would mean nothing less than complete and arbitrary power of the world. Much as he deplored the wrong done China he would ad- here, he said, to the principles he had previously announced and vote against the committee amendment awarding the province to China.
 Wants America Free.
 "If America" he said, 'is shackled to the proposed league of nations just as it is written, she will go blindly and b1underingly into the future, inca pablo of guiding her own people safely through these dark and difficult days.'' y,
