WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-While
the Democratic national finance COM
mittee is not limiting the size Of cam
paign contributions, a $2,000,000 total
would be sufficient for the Democratic
national campaign, James w. Gerard,
former ambassador to Germany, and
chairman of the comittee, testified to-
Gay before the senate committee.

Mr.. Gerard testified that his COM
Clittee had collected $12S.621, de-

Mr.. Thompson said he had seven
states and the District of Columbia
under his observation and that all Of
the funds solicited by his committee
were turned over to Fred w. Upham,
OF the national committee, and would
appear in his records. He had a
heated colloquy with Senator Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, regarding the
title of the fund the Republicans
sought. The witness said the quota
fixed for New York state by Mr.. Up

was a dead hard job to get the
money with all this talk about slush
funds and corrupt politics"
He characterized such talk as bar

"Now iet's> see about that" said
Senator Reed. "The total for the

COULTER GIVES GOOD
ADDRESS TO ROTARY;
SETS new STANDARD

Dean Stanley Coulter's address to
the Rotary club on "Challenge to
Men by the World of Today" was
characterized as probably the best
ever given before Rotary, by members
of the club who attended the dinner
at the Atlas Underwear company
Tuesday evening.
About 20 members and their guests
were at the dinner and all of them
cheered Professor Coulter heartily
after his address.

war is gone never to return. Today
we are met with new conditions, with
new demands" MI Coulter said in
opening his address. He then pro-
ceeded to summarize the new Condi-
tions.
Lack Of Standards
"At the present time there is lack
of standards Old standards in educa-
ton, religion, commerce and states

day is to form new and right stand

Second, there is condition of

Third, there is a disobedience 10

classes. How many of us strictly obey
the law in preparing tax reports. yet
we condemn violations on the part O.

Mr. Coulter summarized his address
by saying that it lis the place of
every man to institute new standards
and best standards: to be settled fCc

laws of the land with rigid adherence

ON DEATH BED, He
PLEADS FOR HARDING
TO CRIPPLE LEAGUE

MARION, o., Sept. &c. H. Terrell.
speaker of the lower house of the
Texas legislature, who was a lifelong
Democrat and who brought about the
Impeachment of Governor Ferguson of
his state, died in San Antonio a few
days ago after telegraphing to Sena-
tor Harding denunciation of the un-
American course of the Democratic
party in attempting to deliver the
United States into alien control and
adjuring the. senator to stand firm
for America first and last.
With Death Facing Him
Chester Terrell's deathbed plea for
Americanism will stand as a dramatic
episode in American politics. 1t tells
it's own story. AS he was dying Mr..
Terrell sent this message:
Il presume you think it rather pre-
sumptuous for a man 25 years your
junior to make suggestions to you
about your campaign, but l am going
to take the risk, as Mr.. Scoby will tell
you that my health is in such condi-
tion now that any criticism you may
make will fall on deaf ears.
Il have been Democrat all of my
life. When l was "a years old l was
elected to the legislature Of this state,
and served that term and the two next
succeeding, and the last one | was
elected speaker by the largest vote
ever given candidate for that posi-
tion where there was an actual con-
test.
Il had never contemplated changing
parties until found that my own party
had committed itself to a league of
nations which contains such a provi-
sion as Article X.
"It is entirely beyond my conception
that any American could ever agree
that Great Britain should have six
votes to Americas one, before the as
sembly of the league of nations, before
the labor convention provided for un-
der the league of nations, and might
have as many as three votes to one
before the council.
THE suggestion made for us to
adopt an interpretative resolution,
which would have no binding effect,
is an absolute absurdity.
No Word in Our Own QuarreIs
AN objection to President Wilson'S
statement that the council or assembly
can always block every question, and
IndC we CAN protect ourselves there
by, is that our representative would
not have a right to vote if we were a
party to the controversy.
Therefore you have a question in
which the United States is vitality in
terested. decided by a council Of for
eign diplomats, probably in secret con
ference, and not in an open hearing,
and we could contest their decision
nplS hU ion n a q
effect two years later.
Would Have Voted "American"
Governor Cox is out for the treaty
unamended. If | should live until the
election comes | should like to vote
, for some man who believes in the idea
| have just expressed. l do not care
whether he is a Democrat, a Republic
can or a mugwump. | want him to be
| an American first and last"
/ Senator Harding's answering tele-
gram of appreciation arrived too late
as Mr.. Terrell died just before the
| telegram reached San Antonio.
