ure Ironically Comments on
Detnos' New Slogan on
Party Ticket.

Republican leaders of this county
were, not surprised yesterday morn
ing when they read a circular letter
addressed by the county democratic
candidates organization, signed BY
Hcster Bronson Copper, and bein.
an appeal to the women to support
the league of nations.
The last lines of the circular
reads:
"A vote for Harding is a vote for
war.
"A vote for Cox is a vote for
peace"
This reminds me-" said w. G.
ure. republican county chairman"
OF the occasion when Vice President
Tom Marshall spoke in the Brandeis
tlieatef four years ago for Wilson
and the democratic cause. 1t may
be remembered that the vice presi-
dents closing words OF his Omaha
speech were:
Not Surprised.
Which do you want, Wilson and
peace. or Hughes and war?"
Charles II. Sloan of Geneva, Neb.,
former congressman, visited friends
here this morning, having just COM
pleted a/speaking tour Of the state.
He was not surprised that the dem
ccrats here should promote another
slogan similar to the ''he kept us
out of war" of four years ago. He
asserted that the women of Nebras-
ka have been growing more and
more convinced that their interests
and that the interests Of their coun-
try would not be conserved by sup
porting the Wilson league Of ma
tions.
One Died Overseas.
take my own case" he said.
fWe had three sons in the world
WAR. Two returned and one died
overseas. Do you think that Mrs.
'S,oan or myself would vote for any
thing that would make it probable
that our boys, or other boys, would
have TO 60 overseas to police some
| foreign country? In my recent
travels through Nebraska, I have not
found much sentiment among the
women for the proposed league COW
cnant."
Mr.. Sloan believes that the demo-
Gratis have gathered all the strength
they are able to muster to their
standard and they are now making
q last desperate stand. He. referred
to Governor Cox's recent statement.
that he would sit with the senate and
reach m agreement IS an indication
of weakness and surrender.
Neither Became Law.
Governor Cox was in congress
while was there and / know that
he voted for a bill which would
place all grains and other agricul-
tural products from Canada on the
free list, and he voted for another
bill which would have placed all
meats and cereals of the world on
the free list, but neither bill became
law" he added. II have been tell
ing these things to the farmers of
Nebraska and they are interested.
The farmers are vitality concerned in
6the economic problems of our coun-
try. :.
"As for the league, if one will
study the covenant carefully, it is
apparent that it would be easy for
this country to get in, out not SO
easy to get out. The covenant pro-
vides that for emergence from the
league it is not only necessary to
serve two years notice, but all obli-
cations to the league, must have been
observed and also all international
obligations must have been carried
out. Can you not imagine the pos
sible situations which might arise if
we signed on the dotted line and
became signatory to such an agree
ment?"
Congressman Confident.
The former congressman is con-
fident that Harding will carry Ne
braska by not less than $4,000.

with these words to the women of
Nebraska:
Women, don't be carried away
by emotionalism, don't be deceived
by slogans, such as He kept us out
of war;"
