DEMOCRATS HAVE EDGE.

The Democrats have the edge in
the 1920 campaign because they not
only have fought great war to a
remarkably successful conclusion,
but they have, or at least their lead

tempting to end war for all time,
argues Henry Ford, in his Interna-

sentiment ascertained can be accept

ty feels, not only is a powerful ar
gument with the great bulk of vot-
ers who did not go to war, and to
the hundreds of thousands of wom-
en- who have been newly enfran-
chised, but it is even more potent
with those who have fought their
way across the Ourck and Vesle and
gone through machine-gun nests of
the Argonne.
Also, the Democrats have the ad-
vantage of their being able to point

DOUSE WILLING
TO ENTER RACE
WITH ANDERSON

In answer to the challenge issued
by Herman Anderson, owner of the
Fairbanks Kid, for match race on
the Tanana river, Fred Douse has
authorized The News to say for him
that he will race the Kid for any
amount Mr.. Anderson cares to put
up, and for any distance. He will
race from Nenana to Fairbanks, or
he will race up and down the river
in front of town, an equivalent to
that between the two towns.
Mr.. Douse says that he can be
ready almost any time to start, and
is anxious to get busy on the de-
tails. He claims to have sufficient
backing to insure an interesting
race, and will put up his boat also,
if necessary.
Now all that remains, apparently,
is for the rival boatmen to get to-
gether on conditions of the race,
and there are many in Nenana who
are eager for the opportunity to
back one or the other of the river
men. Each has a large following.

lONDONERS PAY
HIGH PRICES FOR
ART TREASURES

LONDON. - The enormous for
tunes made in England during the
war are responsible for record
breaking prices which sellers of an
tiques of every kind are realizing
in London auction rooms, in the
opinion of men who have long been
close to the trade. The whole coun-
try is being searched for treasures
of all kinds, which find ready sale
at prices which hitherto have been
paid only by foreigners.
A mysterious portrait which re-
Gently appeared in one auction room
and was said by someone to have
been by Franz Halls, quickly brought
100000, although its authenticity
has even now not been established.
A Reynolds portrait which to the
present had not attracted much at
tention was easily sold for $4,000,
and pictures much lesser lights
brought phenomenal prices.
Artistic furniture is in even more
demand. Six Chippendale Gothic
chairs recently sold at a country
sale for s5,125, in spite of the
fact that modern artists are copy
ing this particular design with
marked success and only the trained
expert can detect the difference. At
another country sale two Chippen-
dale tables brought $1,000 and a
Chippendale cabinet s6,250.
Sheraton furniture is not so pop
ular, excellent tables going as low
as 500. An old harpsichord in a
William and Mary case sold for ST.
500, and a grandfather's clock gave
its fortunate owner $500, in spite
of the fact that the clock had prob
ably ceased to tick more than a
hundred years ago.
Illuminated manuscripts also are
in demand, and as in the case Of
furniture, record prices are being
obtained. Letters of David Gar
rick, and a few by his wife, to
noted persons of their time, caused
spirited bidding, but were with
drawn and will be offered again.
Efforts to trace the purchasers of
some of the choicest offerings have
revealed the presence in the mar
ket of persons who never before
paid any attention to antiques.
Many of them are persons who ac-
cumulated large fortunes during the
war, and now that they have ac-
ouired fine houses, have set out,
with the aid of experts, to give
them the antique touch required by
good taste.
