cate more than the ordinary change
of public sentiment between elections
They show complete revolution in
political opinion. Such Reputation
goes beyond all precelents. When

works are not only diSapprOved, but
stamped with national condemnation
"Only the aroused patriotism of q
whole people will account for such col

den inflicted on the American people
in high prices and high taxes have
done much to promote dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Wilson, they alone never
could have caused the political cata.
clysm that has overwhelmed the Viii.
son administration. The monstrOus
proposition of the Wilson League OF
Nations was necessary to bring about
this unprecedented collapse.

interesting revelations of the election
concerns the wOmen's vote. 1t Is now
evident that, as much as the Wilson
and Cox people talked of women fav
Oring the league, the truth was and is
that American women are as much Op
posed as American men to surrender
ing our freedom and independence to
foreign control. This cannot be en-
phasized too strongly. 1t stands out
