President's "AutOcratic Way"
President Wilson in his customary
autocratic and dictatorial role is at
tempting to lead the Cox campaign
Mr.. Hayes said, land he is calling
upon the American people to approve
his league of nations and thereby
sacrifice their principles of American
ism and their Independence. Such
would be the case if Cox is elected,
but God forbid that such a catas-
trophe should befall this country. AS
a matter of fact, President Wilson is
not Interested in the election of Cox
for Cox's sake or for the sake of his
party. With him it is purely the
means of accomplishing the satisfac-
ton of his conceit and selfishness.
This country has made no promises
to either accept or join this foreign
made league. and it is not bound to
keep Wilson's individual promises.
The provisions of article 10 are in
famous and would be the ruination of
=, fIs ,fr.yy Irv
Besides being directly contrary to the
spirit of independence as provided by
our Constitution. it is pledge as
wide as the world. as foreign as could
be, as dark as Africa, as perilous as
war. as deadly as pestilence and as
sweeping as death. Once taken. this
pledge which the democratic party
appeals to us to make. dire conse-
quences would follow one another as
inevitably as night follows day.
Lauds the Sennte's Action.
IF the Senate had not rejected the
Presidents demands American SOL
diers would today be in more than
one foreign country bearing arms and
sacrificing their lives. There would
have been continued demands upon
our Treasury for money to finance the
selfish. grasping and defunct nations
of the world. The President gave as
surance in Paris that this country
would send it's Army and Navy to the
support of Serbia and Rumania, just
as Senator Spencer and Senator Reed,
a republican and democrat. have
charged. The President has made a
feeble effort to contradict these
charges, but he has seen fit to with
hold the stenogra phic records which
could easily prove exactly what he
said. 1t simply is another case of his
unfairness."
Mrs. Logan Criticises League.
Mrs. Logan criticised the provisions
of the league of nations as un-Amer-
lean, and declared that for this coun-
try to enter it would be a crime and
would be the means of tearing down
this big republic, which has enjoyed
genuine freedom and prosperity for
SO many years under it's Constitution.
She made strong appeal to the wom-
en- to show themselves as real citi-
zens and to exercise the rights of
this real citizenship.
Mrs. Tucker said, This nation has
never failed to act in the interest of
humanity and it will continue to do
so, but it needs nothing to bind it
or compel it to come to the aid of
the needy and helpless. Its word is
as good as it's bond.
Because of the waste and lack
of business methods" she said, this
nation is badly in debt and it's people
have been heavily taxed and are
asked to patiently and generously
should the burden"
