Wichita, Kans., Sept. 26.-It is
understood that the decision to re-
turn to Washington was reached just
before the train was due to arrive
at Wichita. President Wilson want
ed to continue his journey and his
tour but acquiescing in the repeated
statements from DR.. Grayson that he
was taxing himself too severely he
reluctantly consented.
Speaking to tremendous crowds
and endeavoring to make his voice
carry long distances has proved a
great strain on the Chief executive
of the nation.
Washington, Sept. 26-After
President Wilson returns to Wash
ington, number Of Democratic
leaders plan to seek an early con-
ference with him in order to ad-
wise him to accept modified reserva-
tions in the peace treaty and the
League of Nations. They expect to
call his attention to the situation
obtaining in the Senate and to in
form him that it would be better to
accept these notifications in the ma
ture of some sort OF reservation, or
to withdraw the treaty entirely.
e. o. s., Wichita Kansas, Sept.
26.-President Wilson has cancelled
the remainder of his speaking tour
under the advice OF his physician
Admiral T. Grayson and will return
to Washington direct from Wichita.
Admiral Grayson has issued a
statement in which he says that gen.
eral illness and over exertion have
rendered it imperative that he cease
the extraordinary effort he is now
making.
The condition of the President is
not critical and to all outward ap-
pearances he is fit but the strain
of the trip is telling on him. He
has been having headaches and the
strain is telling on his digestive or
gans.

The Rotarians entertained the
teachers of the Wilson graded schools
last evening, and the occasion was
one of the most delightful in the
history of the organization.
President Edgerton had evidently
been tuning up for he was at his
best, and his handling of the pro-
ceedure, and the various features of
entertainment afforded by the com
mittee kept every one on the qui
vive for something new. The de-
clarations that they had never had
such a good time in their lives was
taken seriously by the Rotarians who
sent it back with interest.
Luncheon was served in courses,
and with the Rotarians there were
about eighty served. The entertain
ment started with a roll call, and
some of the single men when they
answered to their names stated they
were single and pitiful. The Ia
dies were entirely non-committa1.
: Mr.. o. v. Foust called the atten-
ton of the chair to the fact that he
had not received the Letter due him
on his birthday, which is supposed
contain the usual eulogy and con-
gratulations that another milestone
on life's rugged road has been reach
ed. This oversight on the part of
the president has failed to secure

MARION BUTLER
AND ALEXANDER
Much Speculation as to What
the Combination Expects
to Do in
N. CAROLINA POLITICS
CAROLINA POLITICS

Washington, D. c., Sept. 25.-Ex-
Senator Marion Butler, who dropp-
ed in on Washington last week
about the time DR.. Alexander was in
terviewing Senator Simmons, has
been located. The big break of the
final is the former Senator's dec
laration that North Carolina is
headed for the Republican column
next year, mad that Judge Jeter
c. Prichard, of Asheville will be
the choice of the Old Guard in
North Carolina for President
The solid vote of the North Car
olina delegation to the next national
Republican convention according
to Mr.. Butler will be cast for
Judge Prichard and here is how
he reaches the conclusion.
Judge Prichard is the equal in
character and ability to any of the
many favorite sons now being men
! toned and the time has come when
the South should no longer be dis
franchised in the nations councils.
| If the South should not be ac-
corded the first place on the ticket,
/ reasons the Sampson lawyer, then
Judge Prichard Will be presented
ard and Butler fused in the nine
/ ed the second place. Our great
State which is teeming industrial
resources is ready to line up for
the constructive policies of the Re-
publican party
Three statements of Mr.. Butler
are interpreted here as conclusive
proof that there has been truce
between the Duncan and Butler
they are regarded as further proof
that the Republicans are going to
fuse with the Farmers Union the
Alexander factions at least, in ex-
actly the same manner that Prich-
ard and Butler rused in the nine
ties and elected Butler to the Sen
ate by prostituting the Farmers al
lance.
There is no division of opinion
among North Carolina Democrats
on that Score. Many of the letters
that Senator Simmons has received
since the News and Observer pub
lished the account Of his interview
with Alexander on the League o1
Nations have confirmed the sugges
tion in that story that the two wing.
, of the party had buried the hatch
, ct and anointed Alexander for the
next sacrifice.
Doctor Alexander is perfectl,
|, willing to be sacrificed too, the!
, | believe. If the Republicans were il
control of the situation in State
TO doubt, DR.. Alexander would b,
} perfectly willing to be sacrificed
t by the Democrats if the Demo
, Gratis wanted to make that kline
l of a sacrifice. w. r. Dixon, o
D Wilson, and E. c. Faires at Aber
e deem will probably help get Dr.
e Alexander to the altar. While the
: are doing so, DIR. Clarance Poe
b C C. Wright, of Wilkes, and w
a c., Crosby will be trying to saw
the organization of farmers from
! an ignomfnious slaughter.

Senators nor any of the Represen

SENATE
ALSO WRESTLING
With Peace Treaty. Clemen-
ceau Tells the Deputies
They Must
VOTE FOR THE TREATY


enceau delivered his long expected
speech in the debate on the ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty in the
Chamber of deputies this afternoon
The whole trend of his arguments
in favor Of the treaty was that
the treaty was one of the solidarity
between allies, who united in
war, must be united in peace.
M. Clemenceau admitted that the
treaty contained many imperfec-
tions, but said it was elimination of
the work of the coalition of liberia
tion, the first of its sort in the
history of the world, as the treaty
was the dawn of a nuew era. He re-
piled the dark days of 1917, and
declared to the opponents of the
treaty that if a peace proposal had
been received then, returning AL
SAGE and Lorraine to France, no
Frenchman would have demanded
the insertion of any other clause,
but would have accepted it.
The treaty brought back more
than the lost provinces; it placed
France on the highest pinnacle of
fame and honor, and in a few years
would bring prosperity.
Those who had spoken in the de-
bate the Premier pointed out, had
criticized the details of the treaty
which mus be considered or rejected
as a whole, whether the instrument
was helpful or harmful to France
The treaty was the ensemble OF
possibilities which was worth
| what the future ruling classes OF
France would make it by their labor
The Premiers efforts was tremen
| dous. He remained on the tribune
| for more than two hours. Many
times he seemed to weaken, hi.
voice becoming SO low as to be al
most inaudible beyond the first row
of government benches. But b,
waved off the advice from al
| quarters of the chamber of rest ant
doggedly continued to display hi
indomitable spirit. He passed light
ly over the criticism which has bee1
prominent in the debate that tn
French language is not the officia
language of the treaty, saying
1t is not my fault if the Englisl
language is spoken by nearly tw,
thirds of the civilized world.
The Chambers APPARENT determin
alton to prolong the debate as lon
as possible was not deferred by tn
Premiers request for vote on tn
treaty today, for while M. Clemen
ceau was speaking several deputie
inscribed their names on Presiden
Deschnnels list as participants i
the debate. M. Clemenceau warne
the chamber that if it refused t
ratify the treaty it would max
it an instrument or death to Franc
. while of the Chamber would bt
come inbued with its spirit, whic
. would mean the life and resurrectio
of the country.

Dislike the Invasion Of the Packers in
to Their Business.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Denuncia-
ton and defense of the Big Five" pack
ers, their methods and alleged control Of
the preparation and supply of food stocks,
were mingled in approximately equal pro-
portions before the senate agriculture
committee yesterday, as witnesses discussed
the Kenyon bill which proposes to license
the concerns and to deprive them of re-
frigerator car and stock yard facilities
Henry w. Lynch, representing stock
raisers and their association IN California
and Arizona, led the defense, while Louis
H. Haney of Jacksonville, Fla, appear
ing for the Southern Wholesale Grocers
association, made a direct and nnquali
fed attack on the packers and all their
activities
The packers growth and strength, Mr.
Haney asserted, was due not to their ef-
tciency, but to the financial power and
their control Of refrigerator car service
which gives them privileges OF a com
mon carrier without a common carriers
responsibility They now have 25 per
cent OF the wholesale grocers business in
the United States, he SAID and were tend

Mr. Lynch simply said that the pack
ing industry represents the selling end
of the stock raisers' business When you
demoralize or. hamper thatas this bill
does -you hurt us
r. A. Eastwood Of Norfolk, Va, a
wholesale meat dealer, assured the com
mittee that he had always found the pack
ers fair and square III their dealings.
I'VE owe our success and prosperity
in business he said .4s:.to following as
! closely as possible the packers methods.
Mr.. Haney dealt at considerable length
with the refrigerator peddler cars, which
he classed as ''storehouses on wheels. rem
dering an exclusive service, at prices
cheaper than railroad service can be rem
tiered by others and with more speed.
