ANTI.LEAGUERs PUSH ISSUE.
Organization Is Working to Carry
Question Into Campaign of 1920.

Organization Is Working to Carry
Question Into Campaign of 1920.
Washington. Dec. 29.-An organiza-
ton to force the league of nations into
the 1920 campaign as an issue. wheth-
er the senate datifies the treaty or not
has been perfected by senators who
are opposed to any form Of treaty rati-
fication.
Branches Of this organization are al
ready at work In six states. BY the
time the presidential primaries and
state conventions for selection of dele
gates to the national conventions be-
gin the organization would be repre-
scented in every state, it was declared.
The movement Is non-partisan, it's
hackers declared today. Their pur-
pose they said, is to put on record by
one means or another all candidates
for office, from constable to president,
on the league of nations pact.
They are determined. they said, to
get something about the league writ
ten into party platforms. state and ma
tional. They want to put partisan or
CARNATIONS everywhere on record
either for or against the league
dates; speeches are to be delivered to
keep the league question constantly be-
fore the people, and efforts are to be
made to elect as many delegates to the
national conventions Of both parties as
can be pledged to work for inclusion
of an anti-league plank into the party
platform.
"The league Of nations issue can
never be settled to anybodys satisfac-
ton until it has been voted on by the
people at large" said Senator Borah,
discussing the organization. NO mat
ter whether the senate ratifieS the
treaty or not, the league cannot be-
come q verify unless the public senti
ment of this country is behind it,
1.-THE only way to find out whether it
is or not Is to make the league an is
sue in the campaign"
While the "irreconcilables" are thus
organizing to force tie lea:.::,o into the
campaign, both the democratic and re-
publican forces in the senate are work
ing equally hard to keep ii out. To do
this, they think all that is necessary
is to ratify the treaty. SO determined
do eighteen republican senator's feel on
this point that they have served notice
on Senator Lodge, their leader that
unless he brings about compromise
they will join the democrats and vote
with them.
This is the second time within week
that a virtual utimatum Of this sort
has been served on Lodge. Behind 1T
are the groups known asrthe mild res
ervationists and the middle groundcrs.
While these senators blame Lodge
for his inaction with respect to COM
promise, they also say Senator Hitch

Democratic caucus on Jan. 10, when 4

bureaus representatives are advised
to be careful of their personal ap-
pearance, to be at all times and I'M
der all circumstances courteous,
and mot to forget to inform the
taxpayer of all his rights"
whether your interviewer be

Fort Dodge, Dec. 30. - For al
legged false statements, the National
Highway Marker Association has
filed suit against Sam Ness, a farmer
living near Fort Dodge, asking for
$4,000 damages.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Ness
brought action against the National
