LEAGUE SCRAPPED'
JOHNSON SAYS IN HIS
FIRST COP. SPEECH

SACRAMENTO. Calf, Sept. FL
Senator Hiram w. johnson, Of Cali.
frnia, In his first speech in behalf Of
the Republican national ticket, en-
dorsed the attitude Of Senator War
rem G. Harding. nominee for the presi.
dency, on the league Of nations here
today.
"Mr. Harding. happily for himself
and for America, has scrapped the
league" Senator Johnson said. SEN
ator johnson had been one Of the
most bitter foes of the league In the
United States senate.
The speech, first of several Senator
johnson Is scheduled to ma ke in Cali
fornia in the national Campaign. was
made to the Republican state conven-
ton at its opening session. It began
with congratulations upon the out
look for Republican success" and an
attack upon the present Democratic
administration.
Wide Dissatisfaction Seen
$50 wide is the dissatisfaction with
the present administration" he said,
so great the hostility to many acts
Of the president, and SO acute the JUS
table fear of the metamorphosis of
our foreign policy. that apparently
nothing can prevent overwhelming
Republican success in the November
election.
THE indictment brought against
Mr.. Wilson's government is severe,
but warranted by the facts. For the
first time in our lives. the Democratic
administration taught us what repres-
sion and suppression were. This ad-
ministration not only curtailed the
constitutional privileges of citizens at
home, but endeavored to drive US into
perilous paths abroad. Free speech
has been threa tened. not in the inter-
est of patriotism. but for existing
power
"A free press has been endangered.
A rigid censorship diluted the news,
and facts to which all were entitled
were forbidden publication. while gov
eminent propaganda, colored, and
often distorted, gave the information
permitted to come to the people.
Intolerance is Bred
These assaults insensibly bred in
tolerance, the ancient foe Of freedom.
The necessary restrictions Of wartime
have been inexcusably prolonged in
peace. and our government has stray
ed far from those funda mental prin-
ciples upon which, for more than a
century and a quarter. the republic
has SO securely rested"
Senator Johnson then attacked the
administration on the league Of ma.
tons issue.
During all the bitter. indicative
months this has been the fight" he
said. 1T finally eliminates now in
solemn referendum to the people. Mr..
Cox says II he Is successful he will go
in. Our candidate says he will stay
out. Mr.. Harding, happily for him
self and for America has scra pped the
league

REVISION OF FRENCH
CONSTITUTION BACKED
BY PRESENT premier
(By Associated Press>

PARIS, Sept 21.-Revision Of the
French constitution which will give
greater stability to the government
and enlarge the electoral college which
chooses the president Of the republic
will be attempted by Premier Miller
and when he takes office as president,
according to newspapers here.
He would have the electoral college
include not only members Of the two
houses of parliament, but delegates
from local elected bodies, and from
great corporations.
NJ. Millerand also believes the pres.
ident should be less Of a figurehead
than has been the rule in the past and
that Official should play a role OF
confident and cordial collaboration
with the government in office.
In other words his idea would be
that the president should be like the
head OF a stock company. in which the
ministers would take the part OF direc-
tors and the premier the managing
director. He is convinced, it is said
that this plan would assure great con-
tinuity and cohesion in the executive
branch of the government.
Application is Criticized.
In his address outlining his program
upon entering office, NJ. Milelrand said
1t was not so much the disposition of
the French constitutional system
which aroused criticism as its applica>
ton.
"The essential guarantee OF liber.
ty," he declared, lis division Of pow.
ers within the government. Each de-
partment should be independent in his
own sphere and should not infringe on
territory Of another
Of all powers under one head whether
1t be person or an assembly. The
responsibility OF the executive power,
which theoretically chooses and ap-
points inevitably disappears the day
when it merely ratifies decisions in.
stead OF freely choosing.
These decisions are whispered in his
ears under threats which are some
times but thinly yelled. We must
break with this system and give to
each department entire authority &C.
cording to its rights. The president Of
the republic Is today elected by 900
members Of parliament. constitutional.
ly. he is not the creature of parlia-
ment. but Is really the first represent.
alive of France.
Serious reasons rule out the cleo
ton OF president by Universal suffrage,
but between that method and the
method Of today there is a gulf which
can without danger be bridged. In my
opinion with great advantage by con-
siderably enlarging the electoral
college"

Junior High Notes

A ruling has been made at Junior
high school that no student will be

with their work to have them called
