President Wilson
to Resign Office

~ HSSoSiaroO FFeSS.
Chicago, Nov. 4.-WIiiiam Jen-
'ings Bryan, in Chicago today,
2 ie out statement suggesting
Sat president Wilson should re-
s'gn at once"
) "Now that the American people
have decisively declared against
the league Of nations as written
by the president" said Mr..
Bryan, "it would seem desirable
to carry out tho verdict inn
mediately. This can be easily
done.
THE president should resign
at once and turn over his office
to Mr.. Marshall, on the condition
that, on the oonvenins of con-
sress in December, Mr.. Marshall
appoint Senator Harding secre-
tary Of state, and then himself
resign. The law then would
make Mr.. Harding president. and
with the republican support in
congress he could at once put
into operation the plan for the
United States to enter plans for
the association of the league of
nations"

New York Democrat Stands Out as
One Who Almost Won.

New York, Nov. 4.-Altho defeated
for reelection. Gov. Al Smith stands
as the miracle man of American
politics.
Republicans and democrats alike
agree that the democratic governors
achievement of almost accomplishing
his own election despite the more
than 100000 New York state land
slide plurality for Senator Harding
sets mark never before equaled in
popular elections.
Figures tell the tale Of Governor
Smiths remarkable run better than
adjectiyes. For instances:
Harding's estimated state
plurality over Cox. ,272, sos
Nathan Miller's estimated
| plurality over Smith. E,7O3
The republican gubernatorial can
didate thus ran more than 100000
votes behind the republican presiden-
tial candidate and Governor Smith
ran just so far ahead Of Cox, the
democratic national leader.
While Harding was carrying New
York City by the unprecedented re-
publican avalanche of 434,130, this
same democratic governor was lord
ing it over Miller to the tune Of 319,-
Gil. The complete figures for Greater
New York show that Governor Smith
outran Cox in this astonishing fash.

Outside of this city, Harding's es-
tin2ated plurality over Cox was $685.
$50, while Miller's upstate plurality
over Smith is only s71314. It was on
ly the strongly republican rural dis
tricts that pulled Miller thru.
Much of Smiths achievement un-
doubtedly is due to his personal pop
ularity but there are various contri-
buting causes, all of which combine
to stamp Smith as the acknowledged
national leader of the badly shattered
democratic party. Smiths race is
cited by democrats as the one hope
full spot on the political map since
yesterdays balloting.
Smith already is being spoken Of
as the logical democratic presidential
candidate in 1924, and eastern demo-
Gratis are bemoaning the fact that he
was not the national standard bearer
this year. They assert that Smith
could have carried New York state if
he had been the presidential nominee.
AS it was he had to turn over a mil
lion voters-get a half million re-
publicans to vote for him while vot-
ing for Harding.
The governor is the most popular
political figure in New York state in
many years. He is known and ad-
dressed by all as AL" He has come
up from an orphan newsboy to gov
ernor Of the greatest state in the
union. Republican papers candidly
admit he has given the state a good
clean administration. His record
was great vote getter.

and the chances are that in days
ahead many a city moonshiner will
have bitter experience of these tire
less, fearless, and determined men.
And if any Of the gun-men of New
York should engage in moonshining
and bootlegging they will find that for
pulling" first and shooting quickly
and accurately they are outclassed by
the men who have been trained in the
mountains and swamps. The wilder
ness moonshincrs are also to be hunt
ed and harried as never before. 1t is
probable that observation airplanes,
equipped with military cameras, will
be brought into this work and will vie
with the eagles in lowering over
mountain Businesses.
There will be various ways of get
ting a drink, if one be exceedingly
thirsty and as exceedingly rich. Per-
haps we shall return to the pictur-
esqueness of an olden day. 1t is pre-
dicted:
Smuggling will return with much
of its old-time romantic fascination.
| Indeed, it is already here. Smuggling
on a gigantic scale has gone on across
/ "wet dry boundaries ever since pro-
hibition began to break out in spots,
and since war-prohibition went into
effect it has become a big game on
Bahamas, Mexico, Canada, and the
little French islands of st. Pierre and
Miquelon, in the Gulf of st. Law
renee, are already successful SNUG
Cling bases. With whisky worth any
where from $40 to $50 quart, the
temptation is great and the rewards
enriching. According to circumstan-
tial reports, BLOCKADE runners" al
ready appear regularly off the Flori-
da coast at preconcerted rendezvous,
where they are met by motor-trucks at
night. The cargoes are lightered
ashore, loaded on the trucks, and by
dawn thousands of gallons Of whisky
are scores of miles away. This is
American whisky that was exported
to the Bermudas or other bases at
cost of about So a case!
Canada is all dry, except the Prov
ince of Quebec, though interprovincial
commerce in liquors is still permitted;
so Quebec, which is very conveniently
located with respect to New York. is
| pTOillSHlS SUuTCe VI lllClJ supplies
for the northeastern section of the
country. However, the smuggling
spectators regard st. Pierre and
Miquelon as the ideal bases, especially
for foreign liquors and wines. The
Breton fishermen can bring the stuff
ut as ballast from France-and Maine
has a very tortuous coast-line.
All of this means a new field of ac-
tivity for the revenue cutters, and if
they are not equal to the job of guard
ing the coasts against booze infiltra-
tion, the enforcement unit will likely
put out fleet of chasers of its own,
which will, of course, be "long, low,
rakish," and very speedy.
Thus, while the dreamland romance
of the banquet-table, the festal board,
and the bar will romance no more, for
most American booze will continue for
many long year to be source of
stimulation through the news, not to
mention the host of works of fiction
that will now have to bring in moon
sinners and liquor smugglers before
they can intoxicate the hero on the
william or produce the alluring envi-
ronment of adventure, villiany, and
crime that they will otherwise lack in
drinkless, saloonless. diveless land.

INFLUENZA OFTEN MISNAMED

Much has been written and said
about influenza, but there still remains
points in connection with the disease
that the public is slow to grasp. U.s.
ually this is because the essential is
sues are scented in discussion, even by
experts.
The increase in the number of cases
in Chicago has given the impression
of an epidemic, which in no wise ex-
lists, at least yet. and there has been
some agitation over the fact that
Camp Dix was incorrectly reported
closed as a result of the cases of "new
white plague" there. Camps Meade
and Benjamin Franklin, the latter adj
