Cox. But the limits of my space for
bid my taking more room.
How about Mr.. Donahey? shall
vote for him in preference to Mr..
Davis. The action of the various min
isters' associations in different cities
of the State against Mr.. Davis is
sufficient to induce me to favor Mr..
Donahey. 1t is true that there are
four or five ministers out of a hun
dred or so who favor Davis, but these
are in an insignificant minority.
While Davis was Mayor, Cleveland
became the headquarters of thugs and
holdups. Davis lax enforcement of
laws in Cleveland does not give any
hope that he would do better as a gov
ernor. I am satisfied that practically
all the dry votes will 60 for Mr.. Don
ahey, who is a clean-cut Christian
gentleman, a member of the Metho-
dist church in regular standing.
As a Republican l expect to vote,
with one or two possible exceptions,
for all other candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket. But when my party

buke it, not only at the primaries,
but later on the general election.

who are taking the same course. l
have no quarrel nor fault to find with
others who think it their duty to favor
party men. -,
Some of my ry~best friends will
support Harding. If they are against
the League, and if they think that
Harding is safer man to put in
charge of the greatest job that Amer
lea has to offer, I certainly respect
them and their choice. At the same
time, I believe those same people will
accord to me the same measure OF
respect, even tho I can not see the
thing as they do. But the man who
believes blindly what other people tell
him for and against the League,
without reading the exact text him
self, to say the least is not voting in
telligently, altho he may be voting
his conscience.

to the League have actually read the
exact language of the League cove
nant. If the United States had en-
tered the League, to my way of think
ing, war would now be impossible.
There would be a gradual disarma-
ment, and the nations of the League
in the mean time would have to sub
NIT their disputes to the council. The
council, in turn, would quickly set
tie the dispute or refer it to arbi-
tration. In the failure of either, the
nation that persisted in going to- war
would be deemed to have committed
an act against all the other members
Of the League, and be subject to an
immediate >boycot from all other ma
,tions. With trade relations cut off,
war would be impossible. l favor the
League with all my heart, so that my
boys will not have to be used as can
non fodder.
The question before us is not so
one of men as it is one of issues.
expect to cast my vote SO that the
League may be placed in the hands
Of its friends rather than of it's enc
mics. Harding's election will be
construed as a referendum Of the
people against the League. It may
be a generation or two before we can
get into league Of any sort again.
If Mr.. Harding had accepted the
position of Mr.. Taft he would have
had my enthusiastic vote.
Some of my friends are surprised
that l, ury, can vote for supposed
ly wet presidential candidate. l
must choose, between Mr.. Harding
and. Mr.. Cox. One is as wet or dry
as the other, with the advantage, per-
haps, in favor of Mr.. Harding; but
Mr.. Harding, while in the Senate
voted 80 times wet and A times dry,
and he talked more wet than dry
most Of the time. When Mr.. Cox
was asked the question how he would
have voted at the same time, he said,
while in the, West, unequivocally he
would have voted dry. To satisfy
myself further I asked Mr.. Cox, thru
Mr.. Russell, how he (Cox) would
stand on the 18th amendment and the
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1920-10-29

discussed by Attorney F. w. Woods
and MIR. E. r. Root of the A. I. Root
Co., both lifelong Republicans, and
able and forceful speakers.
These well-known citizens will tell
in no uncertain manner why they
favor the United States entering the
League of Nations, and why they
purpose casting their votes next
Tuesday for James M. Cox for presi-
dent.
Both men have made a careful study
of the covenant of the League, and
it is hoped that as many men and
women as possible will be at the court
house next Monday night to hear
these well-informed gentlemen ex-
pound the chief issue of the, cam
paign.

In view Of the fact that / am being
asked almost daily if it is true that
am going to support Mr.. Cox against
Mr.. Harding, perhaps a word of ex-
PLANTATION should be made. In the
Ifrst place. have been from the
start ana am now, an ardent sup
porter Of the League of Nations, with
or without the Senate reservations.
! regard this as the greatest issue iii
the campaign, If not the greatest that
ever came before the American peo-
Pile. 1T is most unfortunate that
such an issue should be befogged in
partisan politics. Mr.. Cox on the
one hand is for the League, and Mr..
Harding is against it, or at least his
attitude is SO equivocal from day to
day that it is hard to tell where he
stands. regard the League issue
as greater than the temperance issue.
Mr.. Harding has said a number of
times he was against it; but yet he
is in favor Of some kind of league,
but has no definite plan in mind. Just
imagine MIR. Harding, if elected, call
ing together a solemn conclave to
build a new league and then ask the
43 nations who have signed this pres
,ent League of Nations to scrap the
existing organization and take up
with Americas new product. Do you
think those nations, made bitter as
they are, would drop a league that
is already functioning and adopt
Harding's experiment? Suppose they
would adopt it, how would they know
that some filibusters in the United
States Senate would not treat Hard
ing as a former Senate treated Will
son? To go all over the procedure
again is unthinkable. Europe is al
ready disappointed at our Senate.
She is bleeding, and needs help. On
the principle Of the man who fell
among thieves, it seems to me that it
is unchristian that we as a great ma
ton should pass by on the other side,
like the priest, and not act the part
Of the good Samaritan.

The language here is very broad

Suppose we give Mr.. Harding the
benefit of the doubt-that he is lit

ference between the men on that
point, then ! reserve the right to cast
my vote for the man whom I think is

First:-I am for the League Of

all that we did in the great war is

the civilized nations of the world that

The advice of Washington, Jeffer-

they travelled. I believe their advice

be good if the same conditions existed.

day, separated us from Europe for

BOBBED HER OWN HAIR
In STREET; ARRESTED
When BARRIERS Refused, Catherine
Piled Shears Herself-Judge
Seems Shocked.

NEW YORK, July 14.-The notion
that her appearance would be greatly
enhanced II her hair were bobbed took
such a grim hold of Catherine Nc
Partland, twenty-five years old, she
left her home yesterday and entered
the nearest barber shop. where she
demanded that the operation be per-
formed.
"Your hair Is too pretty, miss, and
I couldn't think of cutting It," remon-
strated the proprietor.
After she had met with polite re-
fusal at three other barber shops In
the neighborhood, Miss Mcfarland
borrowed a pair of scissors and. while
standing in the street, began shipping
off her tresses herself. a crowd OF
300 persons gathered and watched the
process with interest until Patrolman
Fentner interrupted II by arresting
the young woman.
Magistrate Corrigan seemed shocked
at her appearance when she was ar
raigned before him in West Side court
on a charge of intoxication.
"Ill suspend sentence" he said. "If
