COL. ROOSEVELT FOR LEAGUE.

Tie late Col. Roosevelt had thous-
ands Of ardent admirers and zeal
Gus disciples in the Republican
party who were ever ready to ac-
cept his opinions on public ques-
lions. A short tiI>ic before he died,
he said touching the League of
Nations:
81 think that rioS! of our people
arc in favor of the establishment of
the principle of such league I'M
der common ScrSe conditions,
which will not atter,pt TOO much,
and thereby expose The movement
to the absolute certainty of ridi-
Guile or failure. There must be an
honest effort TO eliminate some of
the causes that NAV produce future
wars and TO minimize The area of
such wars
Col Roosevelt wrote and talked
much about the League and we

paign issues, Gov. James NJ. Cox
President Wilson and Franklin ID

GOVERNOR COX
From every viewpoint the meet

was at his best, recalling any de-
tail inquired about as bearing up
on the internationa, situation and
enlivening the Whole conference
with q humorous :necdotc now
and then in his old-timc charact-
erlistic way. We ere agreed as
to the meaning and sufiicency
of the Democratic platform and
the duty Of the party in the face
of threatened bad faith TO the
world in the name Of America.
His thought is stu: of the war
and the pledges We gave to those
who sacrificed. One easily sees
thai as the leader Of the Nation
who asked for our sons and our
resources upon a very distinct I'M
derStanding and obligation he Is
resolved that the faith shall be
kept To this hi: thought and
life are dedicated. What he prom
lsed, | shall, if elected, endeavor
with all my strength TO give.

absolutely at one with regard 10
the great issue Of the League of
Nations, and that he is ready TO
be the champion in every re-
spect Of the honor Of the Nation

Gov. Cox will have the vigor

also of an absolutely united Ma
ton.
FRANKLIN ID. ROOSEVELT

could have been a silent witness
to the meeting between these two
men. Their splendid accord and
their high purpose are an inspira-
ton. / need only add that my re-
greet in leaving my post under

the knowledge that NY new Com

BURR AND BURTON GIRLS
DEFEAT RUTLAND HIGH

The Burr and Burton Seminary
girls basket ball team easily defeated
the Rutland High School girls team
last Friday night at the Seminary
Gymnasium by the one-sided score of
40 to H. The Rutland girls never had
a show after the first half, at the end
Of which the score stood 9 TO Z in the
Seminary's favor.
The game was fast and we'll played
from start to finish and proved to be
nearly as interesting, if not as much
so, as any boys game.
Mavis Walsh was the high scorer of
the evening and easily the star of the
game, though every Burr and Burton
girl stood out over their opponents.
The pass work of the team was of the
best when the girls really found"
themselves.
