Demo Nominee Quotes From Speeches of Taft Which He Says Disagree With His Present Stand
COX SAYS LEAGUE
 ISSUE CLEAR CUT
Denounces Harding's Posi- ton as Provincial, self ish, Unholy and In Act Unchrisitian"
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11-Governor Cox in his address tonight at the Coliseum propounded nine specific questions to former President Taft bearing upon the latter's support of Senator Harding.
 Governor Cox gave numerous quota tions from MT. Taft's statement today and past speeches in support of the league. The governor asked whether Senator Harding and the former presi- dent were not joined together in de liberate deception"
 "Ex-President Taft" the governor said. "in a recent statement discusses the proposal of adopting the league of nations by leaving article 10 out of it and responds to the question with these words: That is exactly what we want. should like to ask Mir. Taft these questions:
 First: Did you not in an article to the Covenarter under the title The Principle We Fought For discuss Article 10 in these words: The law of the league with the sanction of the power of the league, forbids the viola ton of the international commandment Thou shalt not steal by force It is the embodiment of the principle that we entered and fought this war to maintain
 Says Monroe Doctrine Art. X.
 Two Did you not also in the same article say: The Monroe doctrine, as originally declared by Monroe, was Ar ticle 10 limited to the aggression of non American nations against the countries of the western hemispherer 2
 "Three: Did you not in the same art icle also use these words: Article 10 is one of the great steps forward provided in the league for the securing of gen. eral peaceT
 Fourth: You say that the league to enforce peace had no article in its proposition. Shouldn't you have been more frank with the American peo- ple bv telling them that your plan only | had four articles in it and that your substitute for Article 10 was Article | 8? Can you deny that in your Article you provided for the joint use of the military forces of the signatory powers in event of violation of the conditions of the covenant?
 definite legal obligation to employ forces and in this respect was 1t not very much more drastic than Article 10 of the league?

one was out and Konetchy walked but Mails forced Kilduff to hit a short fly and Evans took Miller's long liner.
 Nesis walked in the sixth but was caught off first with one out on a quick throw from O'Neill and in the eighth Olson drove double to left with one out. He never passed second. however. for Sheehan popped out and Krueger batting for Neis. forced Olson at third.
 Brooklyn made a final effort to score in the ninth. Myers was safe at first with one out when Sewell threw high and l&onetchy forced the Brooklyn out fielder at second. With McCabe run ming for Konetchy, Kilduff lifted long fly to Evans and the game was over.
 Analysis of the pitching record show that Mails and Smith were working on the batters in much the same fashion. The Cleveland hurler's superiority lay entirely in the fact that he allowed fewer hits and scattered them. | Mails threw the ball to the batters 99 times while Smiths efforts totalled 103 in eight innings. The local lad shot over 35 strikes, foul strikes, 26 called balls. 2 fouls. forced 13 men to go out on flies and 12 on grounders He allowed three hits in as many in- ] nings.

We're going out there to- morrow and smash those Indians so hard they will wish they'd never seen a world series and when we get them back to Brooklyn Cleveland won't have a chance. I'll pitch either Marquard or Grimes tomorrow and expect to stop Cleveland's winning streak"
 Xack Wheat, field captain of the Dodgers, strode back and forth and in positive terms explained how Brook lyn would take three straight.
 We will hit from now on." he said. '1f Coveleskie pitches tomorrow we will drive him out of the box despite his two victories"
 Sherrod Smith. the southpaw who lost today's battle with Malls, seemed madder than any one.

 The blaze was the most disas-

 Starting presumably in the smoke house of the Lowell branch of the Tovrea Packing company. the flames rapidly gathered force until they were sweeping with a terrific roar from the lower end of Main street to the yards of the Bisbee Lumber company at the upper end. The total loss is estimated at s750.OO0. according to Chief Wilson of the Bisbee fire department

The letter ends with this paragraph:
1T is believed that the colored citi-

, minded that it is the better part of
patriotism to volunteer for such serv-
ices as may be required rather than
to attempt to lay down conditions

BESTS SHREWD POLITICIANS.

Henry Lincoln Johnson was elected
georgia member of the Republican
National Committee in spite of the
schemes to prevent him from winning
the honor.
Every possible influence was
brought to bear on Johnson. Young
Colonel Roosevelt came to him and
told him that he must get off the
track and allow a white man to be
elected. Roosevelt was PROMPTLY
"cussed out" for his interference, and
told to attend to the business of his
own state. Finally it was decided not
to seat him until he had written q
letter stating that he would make nc
further efforts to be elected and John.
son wrote the letter. However the
statement was absolutely true, he did
not make any further efforts. They
were unnecessary, as he had ALREADY
been elected by vote of - to fo,

1.-THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF
LOAF"

THE APPEAL heartily endorses
every word of the following editorial
from our enterprising and uncompro-
missing contemporary, The Chicago
Whip. What a pity that there are so
few "Whips' among the papers edited
by colored men:
The strongest races of men, and the
most indomitable characters of history
have always either uncompromisingly
demanded every scintilla of their just
rights, Or being denied the full meas
ure of attainment Of their ideals have
spurned even life itself.
Patrick Henry in crying out for
"either liberty OF DEATH" voiced the
sentiment Of the Pilgrim Fathers, who
preferred the unknown horrors of the
great uncharted Western ocean and
the savage-ridden land beyond to re-
ligious oppression in comfortable
home.
But the American colored man is
apparently satisfied with the HALF
LOAF. For $50 years he was so told
that he was entitled to NOTHING
that he even enjoyed life itself by suf-
france. His mind was so deliberately
dwarfed and stunted that he could not
even think to the contrary.
So well, was this psychology in
grained into him, that even today, race
leaders Of the old school, finding it i'm
possible to break from this log cabin
philosophy, handed it down to free
men,"
He was so thoroughly robbed of his
mentality, that he complacently helped
manufacture the shot and shell which
enabled his masters to keep him in
slavery. When Liberty and Citizen
ship were granted him, his childish
mind could not grasp their signif-
canoe. He took what was given him
with thankful heart, thanks to the
teachings of the old school.
He has not yet demanded unequiv-
cally all that. is due him! He fears
to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf
and demand the WHOLE, trembling
lest he be denied any at all. With
apologize mien and Sinking smile,
he renders gratitude for Jim Crow
Settlement Houses, Jim Crow Soldiers
and Sailors Clubs, Jim Grow Y. M.
c. AS, Jim Crow Officers Training
Camps, Jim Crow churches, frater-
mites and politics.
He thus plays the begger's role in
spite of the fact that he has proven
himself to be an. indissoluble and
