PACKED HOUSE
\ GREETS DR.. POWELL
Noted Divine Advocates League
Of Nations In Most Eloquent
and Forceful Address

At the court house Thursday night
one of the largest and most repre-
| sentative audiences of Madison coun-
ty citizens, composed of both men and
women of voting age, assembled to
hear the Rev. E. L. Powell, of the
First Christian church of Louisville.
DR. Powell arrived one hour late on
account of missing his train out of
Louisville and had to come in an au-
tomobile. His chauffeur got on the
wrong road between Lexington and
Richmond and lost considerable time.
He also had to make a detour on ac-
count of road repairs between Shell
byville and Frankfort and lost about
an hour. However, the crowd waited
patiently and none had left when he
arrived at $50 o'clock.
Hon. w. B. Smith, the nestor of
Democracy in Madison county, enter
tanned hte audience together with
Marshall Vaughn, Of Berea, and kept
everyone in fine humor until the
speaker arrived
DR.. Powell spoke for an hour and
delivered one of the most complete,
convincing and eloquent arguments
in favor of the covenant of the
League of Nations that has vet been
heard in Richmond. He said at the
outset that if this We're merely an
ordinary political question or econom-
ic question that he would not be CIV
ing his time and spending his energy
in this campaign. He said, however,
that the only issue and real issue
was the future guarantee of perma-
nent world peace provided for by the
covenant of the League of Nations,
and that this issue was great moral
and religious issue, and that it in
volved not only political factions of
this country, but the principles of
Christianity as we'll; that as min
lister of the Gospel he felt it his duty
to defend the democracy of this coun-
try, to defend it against attacks on
an issue where principles of morality
and Christianity are involved.
DR.. Powell denounced in strong
terms the tactics being used by those
who are at present controlling the
leadership of the Republican party,
and did not hesitate to say that in
their attacks upon the peace treaty
and covenant of the League of Ma
tions the Republican leaders were
now trying to mislead the people by
falsehoods and lies. The Daily Reg
lister hopes to be able to print COM
plete copy of his speech,
The noble women workers and those
interested in the success of the DEM
ocratic cause of Madison county feel
that such speech coming from such
an eminent divine as Dr. Powell has
been received with great confidence
and will do great good in arousing
the citizens of the county to the real
idation of ther duty on election day
and feel and that men and women,
irrespective of party, ought to be
convinced that on the issue before
the people now it is their duty to
vote for Cox and Roosevelt.

UPHOLDS LEADERS
IT CONDEMNED
C. o. p. Organ Strongly Denounc-
ed Republican Senate Leader
ship In Treaty Fight

/ LOUISVILLE, Ny., oct. 8 - 1he
Louisville Herald, which has now
become the organ of the republi-
can party in Kentucky, in its pres
ent campaign, has reversed its po-
sition in exactly twelve months.
One year ago, or to be axact,
November "a, 1919, the Louisville
Herald deplored the Staying of the
treaty by republican leaders and
condemned the policy of Lodge
and the irreconcilables it now up
holds. 1t said in part
"The outcome of Senator
Lodges fight against the admins
tration brought little comfort to
anyone except the irreconciables.
His long and tedious struggle
with the treaty and the League of
Nations reservations prevented
Congress from accomplishing
many things that had been ex-
pected, and resulted only in the
humiliation of himself and his
patty through his failure to pro-
cure ratification after he had sue
ceeded in forcing adoption of res
ervationS.
wiser leadership is needed if
we are to escape the peace by
resolution which Lodge now pro-
poses. His resolution declaring
the war at an end, introduced just
before adjournment and he had
seen the Versailles treaty voted
down, goes over to the December
session.
''In the meantime this Lodge
resolution must appear to Amer
leans a poor substitute for
treaty of peace dictated in the
hour of victoy.
'It conveys no intimation OF the
fact that America participated in
a great war against nation that
that grievously offended her and
humanity; that she contributed
untold wealth and the lives of
thousands of her sons to winning
it; that she makes peace as re-
suit of the valor of her soldiers
and their sacrifices upon the field
of battle
"We abandon the advantage of
victory. We abanyon ever "a
vantage in dealing with cruel
and truculent enemy that was
won for us by the sacrifice Of
American lives. We negotiate
with an enemy absolved by reso-
luton. We cannot draft our terms
and say: Here is what we de-
mand Take it or leave it' We
must ask Germany to confer with
us, to bargain to agree to a peace
treaty in which she may have as
free voice as ourselves, x < x
"The reason for the embarras-
sing position in which the republi-
can party now finds itself is clear.
1t was clear from the start. Taft
saw it, Root saw it, Hughes saw
it, Hays saw it-any republican
leader whose eyes were not dim
med with the miasma of Wash
ington's small hatreds saw it and
it interpreted it to Lodge.
Lodge failed because of lack
of that wise moderation which
men call craftsmanship. All the
great nationals in his party's
high councils advised him not toi
embody in fair and reasonable in
terpretive clauses, the points
which he believed essential to the
guarding of Americas rights
Root, Taft, and Hughes even
draw the text of such reservat
ions. y **
'In behalf of republicanism, in
the name of America, we call up
on the moderate republicans in
the mild reservationist group to
start the next session of Congress
with their hands upon the throt
tie of party power"

I the streest, for this will be considered
a misdemeanor and punishable by a
fine of not less than $25 nor more
than 500 for the first time Without
swerving to the right or left, Mr..
Mershon was there with another or
dinance. He hung out the red flag
and continued. This measure makes
it unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation to burn leaves or throw
ashes on the new pavement. He was
informed that there was already an
ordinance prohibiting the throwing Of
ashes in the streets, but the worthy
councilman insisted that the streets
had just been paved and must be look
ed after, furnishing the further infor-
nation that it costs money to pave
streets. This information did not
seem to startle anyone. So much for
gossip.
Mr.. Mershon just kept on ordinanc-
ing, presenting another which says it
is unlawful to draw vehicles over the
streets with the wheels locked. This
would also be injurious to paving.
This went through like the other or
dinances without hitch.
Mershon gas began to wane at this
juncture and his voice became husky
when he had finished reading the fl
nal measure and explaining the same,
and Mr.. O'Neill started in and wanted
to know how the new streets were go
ing to be kept pretty and clean. This
matter was referred to the street
committee, and it is possible that
there will be corps of men especial
ly engaged for the work, since there
is a disposition upon the part of the
cGunciimen to have the new pave
rent kept looking like new.
Mr.. O'Neill hesitated and was lost,
since Councilman Terrill steered
straight for the center of the stage
and reported that the contemplated
on B street would have
tn be carried over for another short
period, since he had been unable TO
get the names of all property owners.
lie was given further time. He re-
ported while he had the floor that /
Lancaster avenue had been inspected
and accepted by the city engineer.
Then he got the ordinance habit and
presented an ordinance relative to the
collection for and payment of same,
details of which are published in an
other column, as we'll as all other or
dinances passed.
The city firemen will be given their
regular vacations, Thomas Hardin
being named as substitute. One Of i
the regular men will be allowed to go
at a time. Hardin is said to be good
both at fires and in handling an auto
or truck. Messrs. Stone Maupil and
Nose Nelson were informed that they
will be expected to have their substi-
tute get on the job before leaving him !
in charge.
Mayor Evans, who had been watch |
ing for vehicles ahead, took this OPP
of asking whether there
was any coal in the cellar. Someone |
reported that there was half carload
there, but none in the stove. The at
mosphere corroborated the somewhat
statement. There will be a
fire there when winter comes. Stimuli
taneously it seemed to dawn upon all !
that there was a slackening up and
was announced, together
with the fact that there was a big
Democratic speaking in the court
house, and the adjournment was soon
in order.
