WHAT is DOING
ON THE POLITICAL
BATTLE FIELDS
WHITES MUST VOTE
IN NEGRO HOMES

louisville KY, Oct. TO-, Realizing
that their hope for a majority in
louisville depends, on the judicious
coddlng of the negro vote, the Repub-
lican Election Commission of Louis
VILE has made two distinct moves to
Insure a full negro vote and to keep
the white voters from the polls.
The registration here in Louisville
clearly showed that the majority of
white voters are Democratic, for 1t
took twenty thousand registered ne
groes to give the Republicans q ma
jority OF ten thousand in Louisville
To make sure that this negro vote
will be one hundred per cent voted,
and that as many whites will be kept
away from the polls as possible. the
Republican machine has adopted the
following plans:
|. Making the Democratic precinct
boundaries SO extensive that there is
no chance for half the white voters
residing within them to cast their bal
lots,
., Placing the voting booths in the
homes and business houses of negroes.
There are nine negro voting booths
in the Tenth Ward in Louisville. This
move OF the Republican machine was
inspired by the well Unknown distaste of
white men and woman to visit in negro
homes and stores to cast their ballots.
+. The law provides that precincts
should contain as nearly $50 voters as
possible, but one OF the precincts in
llabted by large Intelligent white
vote contains 1000 voters This is in
effect a disfranchisment of half of
them. as there is not enough time for
all to cast their votes on election day,

Do we want our boys sent to war;
OF course we don't. The only way to
prevent it is to vote for the Peace
League of Nations, for which Cox and
Roosevelt stand. Don't be fooled by
what some politician tells you. Read
the League covenant yourself, and then
read the constitution of the United
States. 1t is simple language and any
body with ordinary intelligence can
understand il.
Gov. Cox and Franklin Roosevelt are
so sure that it is successful plan for
world peace that they have issued this
pledge:
x We solemnly pledge the people
that not one single American boy
shall be sent from our shores to
fight unless the people of the Unit
ed States demand il and Congress
sends them.
That certainly ought TO make it fool
proof.
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1920-10-15


If the League of Nations had been
organized ten years ago, with the Unit
ed States and forty other nations as
members. the awful world war would
never have taken place. Germany
would not have started it. She had no
idea when she started the war that the
United States and several other ma
lions would take hand The League
Of Nations would have had so much
potential power that Germany would
not have dared to take chances on a
war of conquest Let's guard against
such another calamity by adding our
moral force and power to that of all
the other civilized nations of earth.
We can not be forced into war thru
the League, because our constitution
says that only our Congress can put
us into war. and the League recognizes
this fact. No President nor Congress
can change our constitution. II can
only be done by long tedious process
through the Legislatures of the. States,
and there is not the slightest danger
of this change being made.

Friday, October is, 1920.
The. election this year falls on No
vember TUESDAY.

President Wilson has made public
the kilograms and correspondence that
passed between him and Elk President
Taft. Elil,u Root and Charles e.
Hughes while the League of Nations
was being written. II shows that all
the five suggestions made by Taft were
written into the League, five out of
seven suggested by Root were adopt
ed. and nearly all those proposed by
Mr. Hughes were used. This settles
the charge that Wilson consulted no
body in fhese matters. 1t is recalled
that when he came back home with the
first draft OF the League he called the
Senators to the Whitehouse and went
over the entire document and made
changes suggested there. Then he took
the document; back to Paris and sue
ceeded in getting the other nations TO
agree 10 them.

WHAT'S DOING
In POLITICS

Registration tiguras throughout
Kentucky prove highly encouraging TO
the Democratic party. Compared with
the registration in the Presidential
race in 1916 there is a decided gain in
the Democratic majorities throughout
the state. The only encouragement
the Republican machinery received
was in the city of Louisville, where
the throng of negro office holders and
their friends piled UP large total.
Despite this fact, Chairman John L.
Grayot, Chairman Democratic State
Headquarters, is highly encouraged by
the registration. These figures" ne
declared, indicate clearly what Is
happening throughout the State Of
Kentucky. ss..>
THE new voters, who are mainly
women, have definitely aligned them
selves with the Democratic party and
the great moral cause it REPRESENTS in
the League of Nations.
THE gains made by our forces In
the smaller cities wcra in many eases
remarkable. There is absolutely no
doubt that 70 per cent of the women's
vote of the state will be cast for the
Democratic ticket in November, which ;
makes victory for the Democratic
ticket in this state tertain.N ~. 2, ,

Governor Ed Morrow has gotten him
self in a pretty tangle because of a
speech he made deliberately misrep-
resenting the League of Nations. This
balIyhoo orator told his audience that
he United States could be forced to
send AN army TO Siam or l'imbucto
without the consent of Congress. When
Franklin d. Roosevelt twitted him on
his knowledge OF geography, the gov
ernor answered that he might NOT
know geography, but he certainly does
know American history. Whereupon
Mr.. w. W. Davies gave Gov. Morrow
a little lesson in American history, ac-
it with the assertion
that the governor knows less history
Iilan he knows geography.

dents and nobody made the foolish
claims that they would lead MS into
