SUMTER REMAINS IN
WALKER COLUMN

Sumter county remained in the
Walker column in Wednesdays run
over primary for the governorship.
but by a greatly decreased plurality,
largely because of the failure of the
Walker adherents in tie previous pri-
mary to cast their ballots. Walkers
plurality in the first primary over
Hardwick was 488 votes; his majority
yesterday, with no other candidate
dividing the vote was III. Hardwick
increased his total vote in Sumter
county in the second primary, where
as Walker lost nearly 800, polling
only 765 for the whole county against
,027 in the first primary.
The Hardwick forces, while not
expecting victory in Sumter coun-
ty yesterday, realizing the great ham
dicap as shown by the result of the
first primary, nevertheless were busy
every minute of the day and voters
were brought to the polls in many
instances from considerable distances
and returned to their homes by them.
1t was the assertion of diligent Hard
wick workers that they were able to
account for practically every vote in
Lne county. w men III QSNGlOpSu AcloG
night that Hardwick had received one
less vote in the 18th district than he
received on September 8, Hardwlck
worker volunteered the statement
that this one was accounted for, he
being absent at the Confederate re-
union in Houston, Texas. | nall but
three districts in the county Hard
wick at least equaled his previous
strength, while Walker lost in all
but one.
The official returns were canvassed
and consolidated by the county exec
utnve committee today and the result
certified and mailed to Hiram Gard
ner, the state secretary by Fred b.
Arthur, county secretary.
The next step in the election will
be the appointing of delegates to
the state convention at Macon, which
will be hid October 25, to declare the
of Hardwick and other
state officials. These delegates must
be named by October IL, and the
committee will probably hold
a meeting within a very few days
for the naming of Sumter's delega-I
ton. Sumter is entitled to four dele
gates and an equal number of alter
mates.

Tumulty Calls On
Spencer For Proof

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-Today's
contribution from the White House
IN the controversy between President
Wilson and Senator Spencer, of Mis-
souri,, who charged the president with
having definitely promised military
aid to Rumania and Serbia at the
peace conference, was a statement
by Secretary Tumulty that the presi-
dnt had no stenographic report of the
eighth plenary session, at which the
promise is alleged to have been made.
and that so far as the president knows
there is no such record in this coun-
try. Senator Spencer called for the
records. Tumulty added, "it is up to
those making the charges to produce
the proof"

PUEBLO, Col, Oct. For the

didn't advise the senate, and ne

Asked what he would have done il

frank, 1 would have advised more: :"
Asked why the administration did
not send Col. Theodore Roosevelt
abroad at the head of division, he
replied it was because trained officers
in the regular military establishment:
had advised against it, because OF
Roosevelt's limited military expert
ence.
In answer to other questions he
said he favored the League of Ma
tions with reservations to protect our
constitutional and congresslonal
rights.

HARDING JUNKS
LEAGUE, JUST AS
JOHNSON SAID
Declares For Rejection
OF Pact. Even With
Reservations

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. THE
direct issue of ratifying or rejecting
the League of Nations was accepted
by Senator Harding in a speech
here today, he brushing aside the
problem of clarifying reservations
and declaring he would flavor stay
ing out" of the covenant as written
at Versailles.
The candidate said he wanted no
acceptance of the league with reser-
Vations to clarity American obliga-
tions, but the proper course would be
to reject those commitments alto
gether.
81 don't want to clarity these OBJ
legations" Senator Harding said. 81
want to turn my back on them. 1t is
not Interpretation, but rejection am
seeking. My position is that the pro-
posed league strikes dealy blow at
our constitutional integrity and sur
renders to a dangerous extent our
independence of action. The Demo-
cratic platform rejects this position,
to quote the exact words, as utterly
vain, if not vicious"
Governor Cox's definition of the
issue was accepted in direct terms
by Harding, who said that Democrat
ic stubbornness had prevented the
senate from perfecting the covenant
and had made the question placed
before the voters a simple one. He
called upon those favoring super
government to "vote the Democratic
ticket and pray God to protect you
against the consequences of your fol-
ly."
The senator also related his pro-
gram of world association based on
principles in harmony with the con-
stitution, and renewed his pldge to
initiate the formation of such con-
cert Immediately after election.

RUSSIAN CONDITIONS
VERY SERIOUS

ROME, Oct. 6-(Delayed) Con
ditions in Russia are shown to be
very serious in a report on that coun-
try made public by the Confedera-
ton of Labor, which was compiled by
a socialist mission which spent some
time in that country.
The Russians are completely lacking
in experience in politics and it says
the physical condition of the people
in the towns it at low ebb, owing to
insufficient nourishment, while the
economic life is marked by Gestitu-
ton.
The report denies that the Soviet
regime is nearing an end, because the
Bolsheviki have seized all political
and economic organizations and use
the utmost means to suppress the
other parties.

The leopard may not be able to
change his spots, but let no one sup
pose that the special privilege wolf
is leopard. New DISCUSSES are a
favorite method both in state and ma
tional politics. The cliques which or
ganized the infamous Security league,
for instance, have formed no less than
four other national organizations since
that league and its SUCCESSORS fell in
to disrepute. The latest disguise is
the United Americans.
Nonpartisan league farmers in the
Northwest have to meet new organi-
cations of the same forces as quickly
as they discredit the one temporarily
in public view. Good government
leagues, Independent Voters Asspcia-
ton, Citizens Economy leagues,
America First associations, Loyal
American clubs, Stars ind Stripes
leagues, American -Bolshevist as
sociations Business Mems alliances,
have all been strutting on the stage
in the last three years in the Month
west.
Now the Sound Government asso-
citation has been brought forth by tie
same political actors. Reports have it
that special interests in Minnesota
will raise at least $1,O00,0 900 for the
new infant to play VITA. Il is SO
much a machine proposition that the
st. Paul Pioneer Press was able to
