OF course. this is not true, but
we want everybody to know that il
is not true, and therefore we are
taking this method of convincing
the public how horrible a campaign
lie it really is.
Amt 1t Awful, Mabel?
Isn't it a fright what these poll
ticians will do in order to win. We
certainly expect Will II. Hays, the
chairman of the republican nation
al committee, to join with George
White, the democratic chairman,
in an immediate denial of the re-
port.
We also hope that all democratic
and republican papers in the coun-
try will print this denial, being sure
to give plenty of space to the ru-
NOR itself, so that there may be no
doubt as to what is being denied.
We are terribly shocked over this
rumOr. We trust that no demo-
cratic newspaper will be lukeWarm
in branding it with all the Oppro-
brious epithets that it so richly de-
serves.
We View With Alarm.
The bulwark of our liberties will
cave in If such rumors go unde-
MED.
We also solemnly call upon Ar
thur Seligman for an uneduiVocal
statement that the democratic par
ty in New Mexico had nothing to do
with the circulation of this sour
dilOus Canard.
Even in spite of all these de-
malls which we expect will he
promptly forthcoming, we may be
compelled to translate this article
into Spanish, and distribute 10000
copies of it, both in English and in
Spanish, throughout the state.
Or perhaps we may have to cal
on the republican state distributing
committee to attend to this detail
for us.

Both men are agreed upon one
thing and that is that there will be
Il difference between the state and
national tickets in their vOte-get-
ting strength. Chairman Seligman
believes that the democratic presi-
dental electors will be successful
but that the situation or 1916 when
they ran ahead of the majority of
the state ticket will be reversed,
and that Hanna's plurality in the
state will exceed that of Cox and
Roosevelt Judge Craig also eX-
poets a similar result. only he feels
that Harding and Coolidge will run
ahead Of MeChem. though he looks
for the latter to win.
What Seligman Says.
Mr.. Seligman said last night:
Il am fully confident that the
entire democratic state ticket will
win in an whelming victory.
Tho men nominated by the party
are men OF high character, clean
and able to discharge their duties
well. our platform is one of and
for the people.
another factor for success is
the state, which is not bought
press and therefore enjoys public
confidence

SENATOR WARREN G. HARDING
The republican party and ], as

nant to the other nations with
which we have recently been asso-
ciated in the conduct of the worlds

into the covenant that was formed
at Versailles because they had been
led TO assume that IL represented
the only plan on which America
would agree. In this, as we and
they know, they had been crronc-
Ously advised.

of the status quo in the world
would be menace to peace rather
than guarantee of 1t.
Assurcdly we have no intention

scnted to the people of every coun-

THE woman's organization has

/ cannot conceive how anyone In
possession of the true facts can be
against the league of nations. If
this vital issue had not found its
way into politics, l do not believe
there would be Il single objection
to it. Many leading republicans
favored IL in the past, but then they
did not realize IL might become
party issue. They made il Il Dol1ti-
cal issue themselves by preventing
ratification and delaying action.
Now, in order TO save their party
they are Withholding the true facts
regarding peace and the league of
nations from the people. If they
really feel the league of nations
would be as terrible tf!ng as they
claim, why do they not send out

Interpretation of the league OF ma
tons.
One of the objections of the OPP
position is that our joining the
league will send our boys into
every foreign quarrel. and that II
violates and supersedes the consti-
tuition. That is all political, vote
catching bunk" Many authorities
on international law, including cN-
President Taft, hold that the league
of nations does not violate our con-
stitutiOn i'm any way. TIE Opposi-
ton Is making a strong appeal TO
the voters on the claim that it will
neCessitate our boys going to war
against our own wishes and that 1t
will keep us in continual war. 1t
is strange coincidence, however.
that munition manufacturers are
backing Senator Harding to a man.
If these manufacturers really felt
that the league of nations would

they certainly would support the

Text of Statement.
Two issues are made by the
voters in this campaign. one is
the foreign policy of the United
States. The other is the demo-
cratic policy of the United States.
Between our democratic oppo-
nents and the American people
who are supporting the republican
party these issues are clearly
drawn.
There has been a steady at
tempt to deceive the people as to
the issue OF our foreign policy.
There has been an attempt by the
Gemouralic leaders to make the
American people believe that the
republican policy is against Amer

VOTERS ARE URGED TO
REMEMBER THE PLEDGE
During the Campaign the
Governor Has Spoken to
Over Two Million Persons;
Travelled 21,962 Miles.

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 31.-
Governor Cox spent today
quietly resting at Trailsend,
his home near here, for the
final speech of his campaign
at Toledo tomorrow night.
Members of his family were
with him most Of the day,
but in the late afternoon he
tramped alone through the
forest. His only political
conference was a brief tele-
phone talk with Chairman
White at New York.
In a statement tonight the
governor asserted that the
election of Senator Harding
meant that the peace treaty
would not be submitted to
the senate for ratification,
which, he added, would re-
suit in Controversy and con-
fusion" His visits to Sc
states, the governor said,
Convinced him that the SEN
timent of the country fa-
vored Americas entry in
the league.
Campaign Events Are Clear.
Events Of the campaign are so
clear in their significance" said
his statement, that the voter who
is conscientious rather than pre-
JUDGED, senses the difference be-
tween an election result which
means the certain achievement Of
the nations hopes, on the one
hand, and continued uncertainty
and confusion on the other.
Il am in favor Of going into the
league; Senator Harding is in fa-
vor of staying out. | am concerned
about Qualification, he is concerned
about rejection. These are the out
standing words of the campaign.
Senator Harding says he will
not submit the treaty of peace to
the senate as it Is, but that he will
change it, Since the president is
without the right to make any al
teration, this means that he will
not submit it at all. This will re-
suit in one thing and one thing
only--in controversy and cOnfu-
sion.
