special drive against critics of arti-
Gle 10 of the league of nations and
against false criticism was made
here today by Governor Cox of
Ohio.
Nation wide propaganda of mis-
representation" regarding article
10 has been circulated. the demo-
cratic candidate asserted.
The term advise" in article 10,
relative to the league councils pow
ers, was declared by Governor Cox
to be limited solely to advice.
Stressing the provision for unani-
nous council action, Governor Cox
said: -...
1--WE should never in the haze of
wrigSling statements and wobbling
pronouncements, lose sight of the
uncontrovertable fact that under
article 10 the council can render
only advice. And that even this
action cannot be taken unless ana

MENTION OF LODGE
SETS CROWD KISSING
Wilmington, Del. Oct. 21.-An
enthusiastic reception was given
here today to Governor Cox. His
league of nations preachments were
applauded warmly. Every nook
of the theatre where the governor
spoke was filled and hundreds or
persons struggled vainly to enter.
There were Kisses and boos from
the audience for Senator Lodges
name when Governor Cox reiter-
ated that the Massachusetts sena-
tor was the basest conSpirator IN
all the history of humanity More
hisses and some groans were the
demonstrations against Senator
Harding when the governor named
his opponent as among the slgnefs
of the ''round robin" The Incident
halted the governors speech mo-
mentarily.
That Senator Harding should
give the American people the name
of the person alleged to have asked
him to lead the way to new fra
ternity was asserted by Governor
D
Cox.
Probably the most prolonged ap-
plause was given the governor ;
statement of hiseattitude toward the
Irish question.

LOCAL WOMEN
TO AID IN FIGHT
CHILD WELFARE
GIVING ACTIVE SUPPORT TO THE
PASSAGE OF THE SHEPPARD.
ToWNER BILL IN CONGRESS.
HAS STRONG NATION SUPPORT
Organizations All Over Country Are
Backing Measure to Promote Mater
nifty and Infancy Hysiene-Makes
Large Appropriation.

Many of the women of Columbia
are giving their active support to the
Sheppard-Towner bill now pending in
congress and for the enactment of
which an earnest effort is being made
at this time This is the measure that
provides for public protection of ma
ternity and infancy and has wide sup
port from women's collegiate, hygiene
and public health organizations all
over the country.
Many of the leading women here
have written already to the represen.
tatives and senators in congress from
his state urging the active support of
the bill. They are in a drive for its
passage at the short session of con
gress which will come to a close on
next March 4.
The bill provides for instruction in
the hygiene of maternity and infan-
cy and the household arts essential to
the well being of mother and child,
and provides for consultation centers
and medical and nursing care for
mothers and infants, at home or at a
hospital.
To carry on the provisions of the
act the federal government is to appro-
pirate $2,000,00O the first year: this
sum to be annually increased until it
reaches $4,00O000. 1t will be appor-
toned among the states in the proper
tion which their population bears to
the total population of the United
States, provided that each state ap,
a like sum. In addition to
this sum the bill provides for an an
nual appropriation of $480,00O to be
divided equally among the states with.
out guarantee of a like sum.
Many strong arguments are being
advanced by the women for the pass
age of the measure and they are quite
in its advocacy.
Everyone in sympathy with the bill
is asked to write or wire members of
urging its passage at once.

POLL BOOKS NOT
Sent BY LOCAL
ELECTION BOARD
EFFORT MADE TO SAVE COUNTY
WHAT is CONSIDERED AN
UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.
NOT A VOTE HAS CHANGED
No One Objected When the Returns
We're Officially and Openly Canvass
ed at the Court House and Certified
to Nashville.

Maury county is one of the thirty
odd in the state that according to re-
ports from Nashville have not sent
in the original poll books and tally
sheets Of the recent election to be used
by the state canvassing board. Sec.
retary Hopkins, of the county election
board, admitted that the board had
not made copies of the returns and for
warded the originals to Nashville as
is provided by the act Of 1897.
However this has not been done in
this county in several years, said Mr.
Hopkins and his statement is borne
out by the records. 1t is quite an ex.
pensive job, performed at public eX-
pense, to make copies of all the poll
books and tally sheets of the election.
I'VE did not see any use, whatever in
eXpending so large a sum for some
thing that will be useless. No man
has or will challenge the returns as
certified from this county. The re-
turns were openly canyassed at the
court house on the Monday following
the election, just as the law directs.
There was no one to question our ac,
ton and Mr., WEIGH got every vote
counted for him in the county.
"Of course, as the state canvassing
board and especially the attorney gen
eral is insisting on the poll books and
tally sheets we will have to go to the
expense to have them all copied and
sent to Nashville. But we are not
very much worried over the threat of
a $500 fine. l doubt very much if a
grand jury in this county would indict
election commissioners whose only of
fense has been an effort to save the
unnecessary expense"
The returns from this county were
duly canvassed on the day fixed by law
and certified to Nashville.

Work on Columbia's new league

making rapid progress, and it is hop
ed to have the ground in fine shape be-
fore real winter weather sets in.
The promoters plan to have every
thing in readiness and material on

stand, which will be capable of seating
a record crowd for Columbia. as soon
as spring comes.
The new amusement park, when
completed will provide ample space
for baseball diamond, football grid
iron, circus performances, carnivals
and other forms Of amusement. It
has also been suggested that the new
park when completed would prove an
admirable place for a great county
fair to be held when the frost is on

Promoters Of the new park and the
league team for Columbia this summer
are most optimistic, and believe the
park will be a paying proposition from
the start, although league ball here
may have an uphill fight for the first
season.
