ing's speech yesterday attacking the

a statement from George White. Demo

cessfully employed in connection with the
Finnish Swedish and Polish Lithuanian
disputes
White also referred 10 Harding's state
ment regarding Panama canal tolls.
THE Senator admits" he said. that
equal canal tolls is a moral obligation.
But the platform on which he was nomi-
mated proposes breaking the obligation.
w. G.. McAdoo. who called at Demo
cratic headquarters to make arrangements
for his forthcoming Western stumping
tour. also issued a statement regarding
the leagues action.
ut should be emphasized that these
two international disputes nave Been set
tied through the peaceful means of arbi-
tratioin and inquiry. notwithstanding the
fact that the United States has not yet
entered the league" said McAdoO.
with the moral influence and active
support of the United States rs n mem
ber of the league the prevention of wars
through these methods will be made even

PACT SCRAPPED
BY HARDING
HIRAM JOHNSON
Californian Comes Out From
Cover for Few More
League Shots.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. 21-Emerg-
ing from the political silence which had
enveloped him since the Chicago conven-
ton, Senator Hiram johnson this after
noon before the Republican State conven-
ton took up with renewed vigor the fight
on the league OF nations, which he char
acterized as the dominant issue" Of the
campaign.
COngratulating the convention on 'the
outlook for Republican success" Senator
Johnson declared that 80 widespread is
the dissatisfaction with the present ad-
ministration, so great the hostility to
many Of the acts Of the President and
so acute the iustifiabIe fear of the meta
morphis of our foreign policy. that ap-
parently nothing can prevent overwhelm-
Ing Republican success in the November
elections"
Referring to the stand of Senator
Harding on the league Senator johnson
declared:
Mr.. Harding, happily for himself and
for America, has scrapped the league. -
The-senator said In part:
1.-THE Indictment brought against Mr.
Wilson's government is severe and is
warranted by the facts. For the first
time in our lives the democratic admin
istration taught us what repression and
suppression were:
The administration not only curtailed
the constitutional privileges of citizens
at home, but endeavored to drive rs into
peril9us paths abroad.
Free speech has been threatened. not
in the interest of patriotism, but for ex-
listing power.
"a free press has been endangered. a
rigid censorship diluted the news.
Not only have these things transptred
domestically, but while our intelIects
were numbed with the anguish of war.
the present Democratic administration
sought to revolutionize the time honored
foreign policy of the nation, and to make
US part of every distant quarrel and
controversy and Of every mad militaristic
adventure.
The League of Nations not alone will
lrrevocably change our foreign policy and
| involve us in the quarrels and contro
versies in which we have no concern
/ and from which we have ever held aloof
but will also seriously effect us in our
domestic relations
1t becomes, therefore, as boht candi-
dates assert and as the President him
self has desired, the dominant issue in
this campaign.
Upon this League of Nations the
issue is clean cut
The language of the two candidates is
plain and unambiguous.
The one says he will get into the
! league and l am proud to say that ouI
| candidate says that he will stay out OF
the league"

Today we will put up a special dia-

One goes on Northwestern avenue. just

It is discouraging to put up signs

not stayed away from the polls on cleo
tion day.
This year, with the good element In
this county with u.s. we can easily win
In November If we can register the Dem
ocratic and Independent vote. Our poll
books now disclose that there are more
women who are Democrats than men and
we are certain, therefore, that we will
gain by the vote of the women.
The good women of this community,
the women who place decent government
ahead of party politics and who realize
that the Republican machine in charge
of our local affairs has not only brought
about high taxes because of its lavish
and unlawful expenditure of the public S
money, but has cast shame on the com
munity by reason of Its inhuman treat
ment OF the unfortunate prisoners in the
jail, and by the desecration of the
pauper dead left In its care, will vote the
Democratic ticket,
The young mems Democratic organiza-
tion can do much to win this election.
and if every one of you viii go to work
now In your respective precincts and as
sist in registering the Democratic vote
you will be doing a great public service
Democrats in Marion County should un-
derstand that this election will be won
or lost on the next registration day, Oct
4. # the people are going to junk the
Republican machine, then is the time to
do It.
