The county picnic of the nonparti-
san league, which was scheduled for
last Saturday and Sunday at Mill
creek picnic grounds, was abandoned
on account of the rain both days,
and on Sunday afternoon a meeting
was held at the Colville theatre, adj
dressed by NJ. r. Hodgman, rep
resentative of the Committee of 48,
and by Walter Thomas Mills, nation
al lecturer for the nonpartisans.
Both speakers outlined the necessity
of a concerted action among farm
ers, producers, union labor represen-
tatives and the mass of the common
people, to the end that capital may
not continue to dictitate both buying
and selling prices, and hold a mon
opoly of legislation and financial con-
troll. Mr.. Mills had nothing good
to say about Senator Harding, the
republican candidate for president,
but on the contrary he classed him
among the creatures and servants of
Wall street. Governor Cox, the
democratic candidate, was handled
not less lightly, although not so
often. From the applause of the
audience following the various re-
marks concerning the great party
candidates, it was quite evident that
the audience of about 300 was com
posed largely of republicans--or at
least former republicans, for the ap-
plause showed that Harding was
more of a favorite among the nom
partisans than was Cox.

The vote of John T. Raftis was
challenged at the primary election.
He states that nothing ever gave him
greater pleasure than to he able to
stand up and swear that he was a
republican. George W. Seal was al
so challenged, and took the oath that
he was a republican.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1920-09-18

Some extra work against thenonpar-
tisans was done by a Colville man
on election day, because of the fact
that his little daughter thought he
was taking election too seriously and
decided to play joke on him. She
told her father that tall man (de-
scribing him according to the appear
ance of the nonpartisan organizer)
had spoken in her school room that
day, telling that the nonpartisans
were all right, and that their par
ents should vote for them. The
father Immediately took the matter
up with the teachers, who of course
knew nothing about it, and probably
made the case look worse because
they did not know how to answer
him. The father also took occasion
to tell several other people about the
nonpartisans invading the schools.
But when the little girl later inform
ed her father that it was all joke,
the father hardly knew what to do.
1t is not probable that many votes
were changed, but it is probable that
the girl will leave politics alone un-
til it comes her time to vote.

This was the opinion OF . good
many critics today as the coaches OF
the rival teams sent their proteEes
through what may be their last grill

Yale's decisive defeat at the hands OF
Princeton was a hard blow to the blue.

the spirit OF the Ellis is broke. or that
Coach Tad Jones or his assistants VIII

which faced the Tiger.
In anticipation of her big battle with
Harvard II Is possible that Yale can
forget for the time being the sting OF
Princeton's victory and profit from the
lessons learned on New Jersey soil.
The generalship OF the Ellis was de-
moraliEed by the Tigers tidal sweep
and cleverly handled passing assault in
the early stages of last weeks game.
But IL will be more dicicuit to sweep
the bulldogs or their feet by this
method next Saturday. And II must
not be forgotten that Yale has been
pointed all along for the Harvard game
rather than the one with Princeton.
Harvard's strength is not to be dis

Bob Fisher has a machine that COM

football OF tho well known Harvard
variety. The ability OF the Crimson

folks TO believe that Harvard has been
"in hiding" all along. yet this Is not

Yale is in for a very unpleasant time.

The position reported taken bv the
President was taken to indicate that
he would decline to see Senator Sim
mons to discuss compromise and
would so inform Senator Hitchcock.
Ii in replying to Hitchcock the
President thus rebuffs those Demo
Gratis who want to compromise with
Lodge on Article X, all hope of ratif-

the Presidents refusal to discuss the
situation, if he should refuse. would
anger some of his followers, but,
hardly to the point of causing them to
revolt against his leadership in suffi-
alton.
Hitchcock said this morning he had
not yet received a reply from the
President. He therefore declined TO
discuss the reported unwillingness OF
the President to negotiate with his
own followers for a modification of
hls position. Hitchcock has made il
clear, however, that he does not see
