NO. 3S
REPUBLICAN SPElL6INDER
SPEAKS At COURT HOUSE
Does Not Mention Platform; De-
votes One and a Half Hours
To Abuse of President

In an address in the interest of
the Republican ticket, delivered at
the court house here, Monday after
noon. Hon. Philip p. Campbell. of
Kansas. devoted an hour and three
qcarters to criticism Of President
Woodrow Wilson and two or three
members of his cabinet. Not once
in his address did he mention the
Republican platform and not more
than a dozen words were devoted to
the Republican candidate for the
presidency.
He spent considerable time in
quoting figures to show that the Ad-
ministration purchased more sup
plies than were used by the army,
and never for a moment did he ad-
nit that no one knew when or where
the war would end or how large q
supply of equipment and food would
be needed. In many instances he
made gross exaggerations. For in
stance, after giving the number of
spurs bought, he gave the number of
officers in the army and estimated
the number to each officer, when in
fact anyone who ever saw an army
knows that all calyarymen (enlisted
men and oficers) wear spurs as do
stable targeaEts orderlies ana
others throughout the entire army.
He also gave the number Of saddles
purchased and then compared this
number with the number Of cal
varymen in the service. when in
fact several hundred saddles were
used in every infantry division as
well. He gave the number of sets of
single harness purchased and made
the statement that he had been un-
able to find a soldier who saw single
harness used in France, when the
actual facts are that thousands Ui
horses were used singly in drawing
water wagons, food, ammunition
and machine gun carts. Many other
such exaggerations and evasion3
were used.
About two thirds if the seating
capacity of the court room was filed.
Those present were principally jur-
ors, witnesses and others here to
attend court. There was a small
sprinkling of people from Hartford
and vicinity.

TINES BECOMING NORMAL

Industry, credit, prices, every.
thing seems to be trying to get
back to mon normal level, and
even labor will eventually undergo
some liquidition."
This was the statement made
by Richard S. HaW IS, of St. Louis,
president of the Amrican Banker
Association, in recent address be-
fore the II ntucky Bankers Assoia-
ton at Louisville.
Mr.. Hawes said that the people
were now beginning to rconomize,
after an orgy of senseless spend
ing. This is one of the main fac
tors in bringingt down pric s. and
will eventually bring back normal
times but not the pre-war prices
for a considerable time.
Some months ago Mr.. Haw's, in
a signed statement said that for
the average investor U. S. Securi-
ties VI re by far the best and SAT-
est. If the people will now refrain
from isienseless spending, and in
Ysst their money in Government Sc
curities, they will bring back nor
NAL times much sooner.

NOT so in MCLEAN

The Central City Argus, which
is now a Republican news paper
complains that Democratic post mas
ters are becoming too active in poll
tics, in his section.
We do not know anything about
the situation in Muhlenberg county,
bet we do know that it is not true
that the post masters of Mclean are
taking any active part in the cam
paign now opening up.
The majority of our Mclean
county post masters are almost
afraid to give a Democrat his mail
And we know of one who hides
himself every time he sees as many
as FIVE Democrats coming into the
post Office together.-McLean Co.

San Francisco, CAL, Sept. ia
thousand women Of San Francisco,
many of them gray haired, some OF
them in mourning for their dead in
the war, cheered as their grand
daughters might cheer at a football
game when James M. Cox presented
to them today his plea for the lea
que Of nations as the only adequate
proposal that has been offered for
preventing war.
The unusual demonstration oc-
Cured in the luncheon of the San
Francisco Center of the California
Civic League at the Hotel st.
Francis. Cordial at all times, the
gathering came to its feet again and
again as the Democratic candidate
made his plea to end war, and then
inquired whether the Republicans
had any substitute to offer for the
league.
Between speeches today Gov. Cox
found time to confer with numerous
Democratic leaders in an effort to
put a little more ginger into the
Democratic campaign in California,
which it is freely admitted has been
tagging. The apathy has partly
been induced by the fact that the
Republicans, disgruntled over the
nominations of the Chicago conven-
tion, have themselves displayed an
utter lack of energy and enthusiasm.

LEAGUE is CALLED
SUCCESS BY SWEDEN

right to live as an effective means
of preventing future wars growing
out of international disputes, HAL
mar Branting, Prime Minister of
Sweden said
81 will not use the word war,
but the situation between Sweden
and Finland was tense" Premier
Branting declared.
Sweden has complete confidence
in the league as means of prevent
ing future wars, and proof OF this
lies in the fact that we unhesitat-
ingly placed our case in its hands"

Then came a deafening blast. A

thousands of broken windows and
torn facades of adjacent buildings.
