The Real Issue

Concerning the League of Nations. Governor Cox would have the issue to be whether the United states shan enter such a league not. In his Phoenix ad- dress he attempted to make considerable capital out Of the fact that the United in the league, and would have the people believe that the Repub- ucan party is opposed a League of Nations.
 We do not believe that the question as to whether the United States shall shall not join League Of Nations is the issue in this campaign Those who are entirely opposed to membership in such a covenant are relatively few in comparison with .he great number in the Republican party who favor a League Of Nations preserve the peace of the world The platform the Republican party pledges t to such an agreement with the other nations of Tho world as shall meet the full duty of America to civilization and humanity" The issue of this cam saisn therefore. Is not whether the United States shan enter such a league. but what form this cove -nant shall take.

VI. THE POLK CLAY RACE OF 1S44 Pv Erederic J Haskln

BY Frederfc J. naSkln
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5.-ln the live-stock markets of the year lS44 there was great premium placed upon mules of a certain particularly ugly hue. Flooded horses did not command so much ready money in the Kentucky marts. That was because every loyal whig in the country wanted to ride in the Clay procession at the big whfg barbecue and ne wanted to ride on "claybank" mule. the while he sang: Get out O the way, you're all un-
 lucky;
 Clear the track for old Kentucky"
 True it is that certain naughty small boys of Democratic percentage did se- crete themselves along the roadside and lie in wait with the felonious pur- pose of staining the wethers of those beautifully ugly "claybank" mules with a pigment made by expressing the roy al purple juice of the poke berry. For was not Polk the Democratic candi- date? And had not Andrew Jackson, the beloved "Old Hickory" given the stamp of approval to this Young Hick- ory of Tennessee?" Andf did not the Democrats, defying Mexico and Eng land alike, prove themselves true patriots in rallying to Folks cry for "the reoccupation of Oregon and the annexation of Texas and did not every Democratic heart beat faster when he heard the alliterative slogan: Fifty four forty or fight2"
 And when it was all over and the unbelievable news was borne in upon the minds of the people that the great Clay. the gallant Harry of the West had been defeated by a nonentity, a mere nobody, like Polk, did not strong men give way to tears? And even the 1,a1v, hut FnDl sorry for the famous Kentuckian whose life ambition was once more denied
 The election of James Knox Polk, the first dark horse" candidate for presi- dent and the defeat of Henry Clay, then at the apex of his personal popu larity. ended a political campaign which had a more profound effect upon future history than any other yet re- corded. It brought about the annexa- tion of Texas. the acquisition of Cali fornia and made the Civil War inevit- able.
 Clay Sure of Victory
 The Whigs had sung and shouted their gallant Harrison to such a noble victory that they were certain tha Clay could not be defeated. Harrison had died after only a month in the White House and had been succeeded by John Tyler. The Whigs of the Clay wing believed Tn a Bank of the United States. They passed two bills to char ter such an institution. but both were vetoed by Tyler. The result was complete break in the Whig ranks, anC the reorganization of Tylers cabine along T'a~ ocratic lines. Then lyle began give heed to the appeals fo annexatton from the new Republic 0 Texas. The South wanted Texa~

 Both Whigs and Democrats were sti afraid to take hold of the slavery ques tion. The leaders feared that the in | troduction of the Texas question woul
