Defend Covenant - Mrs.
Morrison, Headrick Speak.
VICTORY IS FORECAST

The Democratic defense Of the
league Of nations was resented to an
audience that packed the Coliseum tC
the doors last Eight. The speakers
were VICE President Marshall, Mrs
James w Morrison CT Chicago, aLG
w. D. Heacrick, an attorney CT lIdi
annapolis.
The Girls Glee club Of Farmersville
Ohio, the COX for President club" of
Earlham college. and the Legion and
City bands furnished the music and en-
tertained the audience
All speakers not only proclaimed
the virtues of the covenant but also
launched attacks against the Republi-
can state administration and the men
who are seeking election To office on
that ticket. They endorsed the ma
tional, state and county Democratic
tickets.
Il am not here to criticize anybody
or any party" Vice Presient Marshall
said, in facetious vein Il am not
against the candidate Of the Republi-
can party. He was one of the best
boys | had in my school of Oratory for
seven years. l know what he is try
ing to do. l lived through the days
In Democracy when we had Bryan men
and anti-Bryan men and harmony din
ners that always ended in a fight. So
| know how hard it is to make oil and
water mix. Senator Harding has my
sympathy.
Il have nothing against Senator
Watson. He is good senator for peo-
pie that like that kind of senator.
Stands For Cox.
Il am for Governor Cox for presi-
dent of the United States. He stands
four square to all winds You can find
out where he stands, principally be-
cause he stands for the covenant of
the league of nations. l am for my
old-time friend Thomas Taggart, for
United States senator despite the fact
that some have said that he is not my
friend and | am not his friend. Yet l
call him my old-time friend. l am for
DR.. McCulloch and the whole Demo-
cratic state ticket. l am for DR.. Nc
Colloch even if | knew nothing more
about him than that he was in the
trenches saving the lives of American
boys while his opponent was stuffing
corn into cattle.
Il started on a political campaign
i've weeks ago and tonight find that
am ending up in Richmond in a re-

hook, line and sinker, and am willing
to swallow the whole thing. | have
paid no attention to the long discus
sion on the reservations When | pro-
posed to Mrs. Marshall, she said she
was willing to take me with some
reservations and we have lived 35
years in peace.
Predicts Split.
There is no cohesion in the Repub-
lican party. You cannot put Boise
Penrose and Hiram Johnson in the
same bed without some one getting
kicked out. The Republican party
has been unfortunate in two cam
paigns Four years ago, if they had
left Hughes at home and charged %
cents to see him on his front porch
they would have had enough money to
run their campaign. They sent him
out and he killed himself,
This year they are kepeing Senator
Harding on his front porch. One min
lister said Senator Harding is follow
ing the example of the Apostle Paul
who sat for two years in his home on
the Appian way in Rome and ad-
dressed delegations of Christians who
came to see him. But the minister is

dent to its conclusion, for when ST.
Paul left his front porch he went to
his death.
After Senator Harding had been
told 70 talk he said he was against
Article Ten of the league of nations
because it had teeth. Then he was
for the Hague tribunal when it had cut
its teeth, and finally he decided he
meant he was against it because the
teeth were not made in a Republican
