THE LEAGUE ISSUE IN A NUT

Wilson has forced Cox to accept the
League just as Great Britain forced
it upon him, and together they are
trying to force it upon the American
people A vote for Cox is vote for
the British League of Nations.
A majority of the U. s. Senate, both
Dem ocrats and Republicans, found
dangerous ttsleepers" in the British
Wilson League and adopted certain
reservations making the League safe
for America. The League as thus
amended Is The American League of
Nations.
Wilson rejected the Anericanized
League. He and Cox demand The
British League.
The Republican party stands for the
American League. for which Harding
voted in the senate. A vote for Hard

VOTE FOR HAYS B. WHITE

The voters of the Sixth congress
sioral district should re-elect Con-
gresham Hays B. White at the
election in November for many good
and sufficient reasons. First, be-
cause he has made good and was an
efficient worker for economy and the
reduction of expenditures in Wash
ington in the session recently closed.
Second, because he is Republican,
and the next administration will be
Republican, and the district would be
in poor shape to send man who was
in opposition to the next president
But the main reason is that it is I'M
fair to all the people of the district,
Republican and Dem alike, to
send a man to congress who can
conp1ish nothing, even If the Demo
Gratis were in power This is not a re-
Election on Judge J. c. Ruppentha1,
the Democratic nominee, who is
man of the highest character, and
qualified in every way for the Office
1t is merely reflection on the sys-
tenn used by the Democrats when they
are IN power. 1t is known to every
one that the great majority of Demo
cratic congressman come form the
| south, and even when the party is in
is given little or no recognition in
committee assignments. In the past
seven years, with the president and
both houses of congress Democratic,
every important committee chairman
ship has gone to a southern Demo
crat, and the men from the northern
states were placed way down the line
on the committees where they were
! mere fgureheads, and could WELD no
/ influence in behalf of their districts.
| Take the case of W. A Ayers, Dem
ocratic congressman from the Eighth
/ Kansas district, for example Mr.
/ Ayers is a man of fine ability and
| high character He has served sever
| al terms in congress and his ability
is recognized by the people of al
this state, regardless of party. But
| the Democratic committee caucus
which is controlled by the members
from the southern states, gave him
! seventh place on the committee or
! Naval Affairs, the only committee OF
any Importance that he got. He was
so far down the line that he would be
compelled to serve six or seven terms
/ in congress before he drew a chair
manship, if the seniority rule wa.
adhered to- Every chairman of i'm
portant committees was from stat.
south of the Mason and Dixon line

ocratic admins tration, and with sew

ENDORSES ]. NJ. RINKER FOR
REPRESENTATIVE

We publish herewith letter writ
ident of the Farmers Educational and
Co-Operative Union of Kansas, IN
which he sets forth the reasons why
Mr. Rinker who is the Democrat can
didate should be elected to repre-
sent Trego County in the Kansas
legislature The letter came as the
expression of the best wishes of Mr.
MeAu1ife.
Salina, Kans-, October p, 1920
Mr. j. NJ. Rinker, Wakeeney, Kans-
Dear Frind Rinker:
I, very recently, heard you were
candidate for the Legislature and
earnestly hope that you viii be
elected to fill that honorable position,
not SO much for my own sake, though
I certainly would be greatly pleased
to hear of your temporal advance
ment in any way because of my APP
probation of your ability a bust
ness man, your genuine An1ericanisnn,
your general activity and Hbera1ity
both IN time and money to any and
every undertaking, whether originated
by you or some one else that made
for the betternne nt, not only of your
own town and county, but for Western
Kansas a whole.
1t is my earnest hope at this time
my dear Mr.. Rinker, that all of the
people Of your county, regardless of
the kind of, business they are engaged
in, will show their appreciation of the
efforts you have put forth for the
betterment of all your people 1t is
possible that your efforts may appear
to some of the citizens of the county
as being directed to a greater extent
to the betternent of the farmers con-
dltlon than that of those engaged in
other pursuits, and if such has been
the case, you have shown wisdom
and farsightedness beyond that of
many men more pretentious than you
are.
Trego county, being purely an agri-
cultural county, the prosperity of
those engaged in pursuits other than
farming is measured by the prosper
ity of the farmers. Therefore your
wisdom and farsightedness in using
your greatest efforts in advancing the
agricultural interests of the farmers
first, knowing and believing that
prosperity of the farmers would re-
dound to the prosperity of those en-
gagged in other necessary avocations
which make for the upbuilding of a
united and prosperous people.
My business acquaintance with you
has given me a splendid opportunity to
determine largely your splendid quail
fcations to make a legislator whose
efforts as such legislator would reflect
great credit on yourself and the people
of your county for selecting a man sc
capable to represent them in the
coming Kansas Legislature, as / know
you are.
Here is hoping, that when NEE
you in Topeka during the coming ses
