EXPECT TO CALL
ANOTHER ELECTION

Up to press time. the Star has not
been able to obtain the returns by
precincts of Tuesdays bond election.
1t will print them as soon as possible.
The county commissioners are in
session, and in view of the close vote,
and the large sum of government
money to be obtained, they are con-
sidering calling another election. They
will, however, probably consult with
the people first and try to find what
changes are desired in the original
Plan which came so near succeeding.
They have wired the state road de-
partment to learn how much grace
they can obtain. but as the chairman
is absent from Tallahassee they can
not obtain a reply at once.

STAND BY WILSON
Senator Fletcher's Position on the
Lodge Resolution to Reject the
League and Treaty

In his speech on the floor of the
Senate during the consideration of
the Lodge resolution, providing that
the constitution of the league of ma
tions and the treaty should not be ac-
cepted by the United States, Senator
Fletcher said:
"Mr. President, in reference to the
resolutio nnow before the Senate, it
must be distinctly understood that
those who oppose the resolution in it's
present form are not thereby commit
ted to the proposition that they are
opposed to any reservations whatever
to the treaty. 1t must be understood
that there are reservations involved
in the resolution which are regarded
by those who are friendly to the
treaty as Objectionable.
"There are quite a number among
the friends of the treaty. l am sure,
who would really raise no question
concerning quite a few of the reser-
vations embodied in the present res
olution, but it is perfectly plain also
that the resolution includes reserva-
tions which make is at it stands prac-
tically destructive of the very life
and heart of the treaty, and it is on
tnat account that many of us-I do,
speaking for myself-fnd our selves
utterly unable to support the resolu-
tion.
81 shall not take up the time to
argue the reasons why l think the
treaty ought to be ratified, and this
league ought to be approved, but
from that standpoint alone I would
appeal to every senator upon this
fioor-and think it would meet fav-
orable response in the breast of every
American in the land-that we say to
our friends: This is an important en-
terprise; it is worthy your contribu-
tion and our contribution; we have
been with you up to this time; we will
&C with you to the end; we will en-
deavor to do our part, and we will
not shirk our responsibility; we will
not ask anything for ourselves that
we are not willing to give to you, and
we will 60 on and try this experiment
ont in an effort to see that there shall
never again come to the world such
| destruction of life and property, such
distress and suffering as we have just
gone through with
"Mr. President. seven and a half
millions of the bravest and best young
men of the world lie buried, killed in
battle; over 100000 more are Grip
pled and manned and wounded, and
$185, 200, ,OGO, 900 has been the cost in
dollars and cents up to this time. Do
we sit idly home contemplating the
possibility of continuing upon a plan
of competitive ornaments. looking
again to a war that must come be-
cause we assume it can not be avoided.
Ought we not make every effort on
our part at least to see to it that so
far as it can be accomplished we
shall put an end to that sort of thing
in the future?"

The Craftsmanship of the Red Cross
falls into good hands with Mr.. Duval
as it was largely due to his efforts
that the county branches were so well

in spite of having the very difficult
position of chairman of war savings

county and with splendid results.
