REFUSE TO DEBATE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Republicans Wont Discuss Topic
With Democrats in Open
Forum.

Charles Warner. Republican State
ChAirmanA today replied to a challenge
sent him by Henry X. lsaacs, Democratic
st.trthalrman, suggesting that JOINT
-S6bate on the League of Nations be
arranged between Senators Josiah %.
Wolcott and L. Heisler Ball. Mr.. Warner
refuses tho challenge and states his reasons
why. which are embraced In his communi-
cation TO MIR Isaacs today. A copy of the
letter follows:
October g. 1920
"Mr. Henry r. Isaacs, Chairman Demo
cratic State Commlttee, Wilmington,
Delaware.
"Dear Sir:-Yorr proposal 10 q debate
on the League Of Nations by Senators
Ball and Wolcott, is received.
1--WE have recently observed that a
pubic debate held in Wilmington into
which We entered in entire good faith, WAS
developed into a Democratic rally by a
partisan chairman and an extra speaker
urging Democratic support.
"BeaeIIse of this experience We decided,
several days ago, that the Republican
party would rely solely on its general
rallies and it's many other methods Of fully
informing the citizens OF the Republican
position on the League of Nations.
eve have no doubt that many citizens
would be glad TO hear Senator Wolcott's 8
views and arguments on the League, and
we hope you will provide meeting for this
purpose. We are specially convinced
of this because according to our recollec-
ftion. the last official act in the Senate
on this subject by Senator Woleott was
to vote in favor of the League with the
carefully prepared Republican reserva-
tions
These reservations were designed and
urged by large majority Of the Republ-
can Senators for the specific purpose of
making the League an instrument TO
preserve American sovereignty and the
safety of our citizens against foreign
demands for war assistance
Senator Wolcott is to be highly COM
mended for his last vote on this ISSUE.
while the Democratic party and candi-
date Cox are supporting MIR. Wilson IN
his recent request for the approval of the
League of Nations as organized and en-
powered in the Treaty Of Versailles,
Senator Wolcott's views as expressed by
his vote on the League of Nations IN the
United States Senate (March ., 1920,
are in accord with the policies of the
Republican Party on this issue.
"'rhe Republican party continues to
stand for a league or association of
nations that will, safely for America, carry
out the laudable and centuries-old ideal
for world peace.
yours very truly,
Charles Warner,
Chairman"

These estimates are based on a recent
official announcement that the census
when 81 per cent complete gave popu-
lation Of 90,5s6, TAP for that proportion
of the country.
The relative growth Of the nation from
1900 to 1910 was y per cent but this rate
IS expected 20 he cut 70 AT least Is per
cent this wear, chiefly. Census Bureau Off
cials say, through stoppago of immigra-
ton during the war, and by the heavy
emigration during that neriod.
One of the striking developments Of
this years census was the relative growth
of cities and industrial centers as COM
pared with the farming regions. Rural
growth m the last ten years was only one
third as great as it WAS in the previous
decade. while the cities nearly maintained
their IoOn-l910 rate OF growth.

A new carburetor which cuts down gas

from one-third to one-half IS the proud
achievement of the Air-Friction Car
buretor Co, 256 Madison street, Dayton,

increases the power of all motors from
80 per cent to 50 per cent, but enables
everyone to run slow on high gear. 1t
also makes it easy to start Ford or any
other car in the coldest weather without
previously warming the motor With it
YOU can use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene
and still get more power and more mileage
than YOU now get from the highest test
gasoline. Many Ford owners say they
now get as high as 45 TO 80 miles 70 a gal
