Arthur Krock.

From time imrnemorial, men have
dreamed of reace; poets have sung of
1t; philosophers have written about
It,; statesmen have discussed It; men
everywhere have hoped and prayed
that the day might come when wars
would no longer be necessary in the
settlement of international differ
ences. For the first time in the
turbulent annals of the human race.
such project has become feasible.
The destruction OF militarism. the
crumbling of thrones. the dissolu-
tion of dynasties, the world wide np-
probation of the inner meaning OF
war has at last made II possible to
realize the greatest dream that was
ever conceived
1t is in these words that Senator
Homer Cummings appeals for support
for the League of Nations and for
Governor Cox who has come out op-
emily for the covenant. 1t is the
vital issue of the campaign and the
issue is clear cut. 1t is Cox and the
League of Nations or Harding and
no League.

There may be some dispute and
some debate about the exactness Of
Governor Cox's figures of the Re-
be no denial of the fact that he has
shown by official Republican docu-
ments that commercialism In written
all over Republican campaign--or-
ganized commercialism Boys,
get the money is the refrain that
runs through every line OF the Re-
publican campaign.
Harding and Coolidge have the
confidence OF tho people-but, boys,
get the money. The platform is
sound enough to hold the weight OF
the Nation-but, boys, get the
money"
This is simply another example Of
Republican reaction. 1t Is back to
Dudley's "blocks of five"; it's re-
turn of Quay's shaking the plum
tree" Y
The general staff of the Republic
can party in their plan OF campaign
do not rely on appeals to reason, to
patriotism and right, they rely on
money. The candidate is great
and good man-but, boys. get the
money; America first-but, boys,

amongst the nations OF the world Is
great and glorious-but, boys, get
the money.

DEMOCRATIC LETTER
The Editor.
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
A variety of circumstances has
delayed the organization work OF the
Democratic National Committee at
least two months. Consequently,
we are faced with the necessity of
attempting to achieve In less than
sixty days what ordinarily would
have received four months OF effort
In this extremity the Democratic
National Committee turns hopefully
to that portion of the press favorable
to the ideals of the Cox and Roose-
velt campaign.
II these newspapers will aid US In
the organization of Cox and Roose-
velt Clubs in every precinct of the
county in which they are published,
we shall be able to overcome the
serious time delay and to accomplish
what no other agency can. 1t is
possible for the newspapers in thirty
days to organize the debatable terri
tory, and feeling that this is whole
and legitimate and progressive idea,
an improvement on old and discred-
| tied methods, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee respectfully solic-
its your aid.
WEI you not, IN this behalf, get
in personal connection with your
county Chairman and lend him ev-
y, oil, h.
licity in the formation of Cox and
Roosevelt Clubs in every precinct
under his direction? These clubs
of course, are to be composed of men
and women, and II you will give
space In your news columns to their
activities and expectations the sery-
ice asked by the Committee will
handsomely have been rendered. The
Committee will greatly appreciate
such a personal assurance to your
chairman and an acknowledgement
direct to me of the receipt of this let
ter and your intentions pertaining
hereunto.
In the opinion of this Committee
such newspaper aid now is logical
outgrowth of what the newspapers
did for patriotic interest during the
var. For this campaign is the d.
rect successor of that war; it is a
battle to preserve the fruits OF VIC
tory for civilization. The moral
issues are our issues; and the pro-
gress of humanity will be advanced
or retarded as the Treaty of YER
sailles is ratified or rejected. Gov
ernor Cox favors going into the lea
que. Senator Harding would re-

GROWERS MAY MANUFACTURE
 THEIR WOOL INTO BLANKETS

Owing to the unsettled condition of the wool market, the Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association in cooperation with the Sheep Specialist of Connecticut Agri- cultural college have been working on plan which will give the wool grower an opportunity to manufacture his clip into blankets.
 The plan is to have the wool graded, secured and manufactured into all wool, four pound double blankets 64XS4. The cost of transportation, grading, securing and manufacture will be about $40 per 100 pounds of grease wool. The 100 pounds of grease wool when secured will make 12 blankets. At the retail price ot these blankets this plan should net the grower $1 per pound for the wool. The wool will be pooled and handled by the association. The grower will finance the securing, manufacture, etc, which will be about 50 cents Der pound.

 The bowel walls are weak. the parts almost dead.
 To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles. you must free the circulation send a fresh current through the stag nant pools. Internal treatment is the one safe method. Ointments and cut ting won't do it.
 J. s. Leonhardt, M. D., a specialist, set at work some years ago to find a real internal remedy for piles. He sue ceeded.
