the young folks and some of the old

soon as the big basket touched the

JUDGE HASWELL IN
GOOD SPEECH HERE

Judge John p. Haswell Jr., of Har-
dinsburg, Republican Nominee for
Congress from this district, spoke to
a fair sized audience at the Court
house Monday. Judge Haswell used
the major portion of his time in dis
cussing the League of Nations. He
took the position that the league was
in no sense partisan. or at least
should NOT be a partisan question. He
told how 22 Democratic Senators had
voted for reservations, how the Demo
cratic State of Georgia, in three
cornered race for the Democratic
nomination for U. s. Senator, with
two strong anti-Leaguers to only one
out and out for it, had given the
coveted nomination to Watson, the
most bitter and uncompromising op-
ponent of the League, thereby indi-
eating that approximately two-thirds
OF the Georgia Democrats were
against it, Then too, he stressed the
fact that Main had just given more
than $4,000 majority against the
League in an election held there
These two special instances wherein.
the question of adoption Of the
League was the chief, in fact the only
real issue, he argued with telling eff
feet, showed that both Democrats and
Republicans were undoubtedly
against adoption of Wilson's League
in its present form, Notwithstanding
the fact that both Wilson and Cox
wore undertaking to make it a parti-
an issue. War expenditures also came
in for discussion. He showed how the
United States had spent thirty bill
lions of dollars in the 10 months she
was in war while England spent many
millions less and was in war two and
one-half times longer and had some
three million more men under arms
than did America. Altogether it was
a splendid argument, clearly setting
forth the things he stood for and
against, Judge Haswell will COM
plete tour of the County Saturday
which will have carried him into ev-
cry section, with telling effect.

mixes the more dough he gets.
