So in that way these great corpor-
alton interests exercised a predomin-
ating influence in the elections of a
president and congress knowing all
the while that their contributions
were merely as bread cast upon the
waters
When Mr.. Hartman was called to
the White House to have that famous
interview with its then occupant he
returned to Wall Street and in little
while had raised a sum amounting in
the aggregate to $2500OO.
In a letter to Mr.. Sidney Webster
Mr.. Hartman said:
This amount enabled the New
York State Committee to continue its
work. with the result that at least
$4,000 voters were turned in the City
of New York alone, making differ
ence of 100000 votes in the general
result.
That changed the result of the cleo
ton and defeated Judge Parker.
So with the corrupt "slush funds
gathered together by Truman H. New

II defeated Mr.. Ford for the senate,
gave the republicans control of that
body and defeated the ratification of
the League of Nations and is respon-

been harmful to our nation and the
whole world.

Mr.. HARDlNG'S LOGIC

Candidate Harding says that the
League of Nations lis an irredeemable
failure" while it has not yet been
tested-before it has been ratified.
How is that for presidential logic:
Candidate Harding can say with
just as good grace that National Fe
male Suffrage is an "irredeemable
failure" before vote has been cast
under it's provisions.
Nothing, Mr.. Harding, can be called
a failure, irredeemable or otherwise,
until it has had 'try out"

President Wilson make you appear

IS THE UNITED STATES A cow
ARn7

No great state paper has ever been
subjected to more downright menda-
city than the covenant of the League
of Nations, and no other provision OF
that covenant has been the object of
so much deliberate falsehood as Ar
ticle X.
The language of Article X is plain
and the meaning of it is clear to any
body who is not trying to prevent it:
The members Of the League under
take to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the terri
torial integrity and existing political
independence of all members OF the
League. In case of any such aggres-
sion or in case of any threat or danger
of such aggression, the Council shall
advise upon the means by which this
obligation shall be fulfilled.
The Republicans who are opposed
to the League, and in particular the
Republican Senators, insist that under
the terms of this article the Council
of the League can order the United
States into war and send our troops
wherever it pleases. They are the
only people in the world who so con-
strue 1t.
Senator Harding continues to talk
about "a foreign Council command
ing the United States to go to war and
Congress being obliged to submit.
That is not only demagogic nonsense
but Senator Harding knows that it is
demagogic nonsense. Even so I'LL.
