LENROOT'S ELECTION
NECESSARY TO PROTECT
UNITED STATES NATION
Republican Congress VIII Be
Able to Block Democratic Plan
Of Internationalism.
BY MILES POINDEXTER,
Chairman, Republican Senatorial Com
mittee.


Never before has the chief executive
OF the nation openly proposed to sacri-
flee it, and asked the support of it's
own people to accomplish that object
Shall we sacrifice America? That
Is the issue IN this campaign; so de-
clared by President Wilson himself, in
specific terms, on March 5, 1919.
President Wilson represented to the
European and Asiatic nations that he
was authorized by the people of the
United States to commit this sacrifice
by giving up our separate national
fortunes and 'joining our fortunes
with the fortunes of men everywhere"
He was not SO authorized Whether
he or his successor is to be so author
lied, is to be determined in this cleo
tlon. He cannot claim that the world
government he proposes, under the
name of the constitution Of the League
Of Nations is to be a benefit to Amer
lea; for he has expressly designated it
as supreme sacrifice" The senate
alone stood between US and this sacri-
flee and saved us from it; and the SEN
ate alone may be called upon to stand
between US and this same supreme
sacrifice" in the next congress.
Need Lenroot's Vote.
One vote may determine the fate of
the nation. The election of one Demo
cratic senator, pledged to follow his
party in the sacrifice of his country,
may unite us in governmental union
with Europe and Asia. BY the cleo
ton of a Republican senator in any
enc state, pledged to oppose this sac
rifice, our independence and the chief
hope of the world for liberty and

war will come from the setting up of
centralized military power, which by
it's assembly, exercising, as the presi-
dent has said, "the major forces of
mankind" will subject the world to
an unscrupulous and irresponsible po-
!itical and military despotism.
The Democratic party will deny that
such a power will be unscrupul us or
despotic. The history of the world
proves that it will be.
Safeguard OF Nation. ..
The safeguard of the nation is the
election of a senate pledged to sup
port our constitution, our interests,
and our American policies of peace
and friendship with all nations and
governmental union with none. We
have fought four wars with European
nations to prevent the control of
American affairs by Europe, and won
them all. 1t is certain that if the
League of Nations had been in exist
ence we would never have gained our
independence. Do not let us now COM
nit the supreme folly and the "su-
preme sacrifice" of voluntarily sur
renderiSg the independence and sep
arate station in the world which we
have won.
Wisconsin will give Harding and
Coolidge great majority on Nov. 2.
To help give full effect to that verdict
against wisconsin, it must give Len
root n, oil
If Wisconsin is to give a whole YER
dict against wisconsin, it must vote
the whole republican national ticket
for Wisconsin: Harding, Coolidge,
Lenroot.

LENROOT'S STAND
BY FRED c. SHEASBY,

Senator Lenroot was one of tn
men who said that he would rather
resign his seat in the United State
senate than vote to ratify the
league of nations covenant Presi-
dent Wilson brought home from
Paris.
Senator Lenroot led the fight for
reservations to Americanize the
league. He does not take the posi-
tlon that America should stand
aloOf. He believes that we should
go into an association of nations
SO that the moral influence of the
United States might be used
against ar,sbut he is opposed to
the league the president asked the
senate TO ratify.
More than that, he has taken the
position that the United States
must not at any time sacrifice it's
right to determine for itself when,
where and for what it shall go to
war.
He is absolutely opposed to any
plan whereby American soldiers
would be used to police troubled
spots in Europe.
He believes that America should
go to war only when American in
terests are involved.

In the passing on of Mrs H. Tick
nor, beloved wife of Henry Ticknor,

her husband came to this city in an
early day and their lives enter into
the historical events of Wood county
Henry Ticknor, was a carpenter by

this community loses a good woman
who will always be kindly remember

weeks illness of hardening of the ar
teries Mrs Ticknor was 72 years
old at the time of her death and most
of her life time was spent in Grand
Rapids. Mrs. Tciknor was born in

NATION CLAMORS FOR
RETURN OF LENROOT
Needed in Congress to Back Up Hard
ina and CooIidue at WASHINGTON.

Needed in Congress to Back Up Hard
ing and Coolidge at Washington.
Reelection of Irvine L. Lenroot as
United States senator from Wisconsin
is vitality important to the nation, even
more than it is to the Republican par
ty according to John Adams, vice
chairman of the Republican national
committee, in statement to the press.
at should be pressed upon the peo-
pie of Wisconsin that the election of
a Republican senate is almost as vital
as the election of Republican presi-
dent" said Mr.. Adams.
Senator Harding will be the next
president. The next senate will be Re-
publican, but it is not assured that the
Republicans will have a good working
majority. If we are to have real
Republican administration, we must
have a majority of at least twelve.
Such a majority cannot be had unless
the Republicans in every state here
senator's will be elected this year work
in the remaining weeks of the cam
paign as they have not worked since
the Chicago convention.
Republicans everywhere are opti-
n1istic; the reason for that optimism
should be capitalized, not neglected.
Any Republican can visualize the sit
uation Mr.. Harding would face if he,
should be compelled to deal with a
senate almost evenly divided.
THE issues before the senate will
be tremendous. The ending of the war
conditions, the question of league
of nations, the whole tax policy, the
merchant marine, the tariff, and
hundred other grave problems can be
solved rightly only with the aid of the
senate.
"The senate must be safely Repub
lican to solve them properly. To real
| ize this, one has only to consider the
case of Senator Lenroot, as an illus
tration.
"The nation cannet afford to lose
| the services of Senator Lenroot Len
| root is merely not Wisconsin's asset,
he is the nations asset. Men like Len
| root, of great constructive ability,
| trained in legislative experience, and
| even tempered, will be needed in the
senate for the next ten years, as never
| before in the history of our country.
He is Republican, and the Republic
an party is rightly proud of him. He
is a liberal statesman, who serves
| America and all the people first, last
and all the time"

peace, may be preserved. The senate
is the high court of final decision, and
the action of the senate may be deter
mined by a single vote.
In the face of this issue, we cannot
afford to allow personal preferences,
if they exist, to override principle. The
consequences are too vital.
Our soldiers went to war to defeat
the purpose of Germany "to join the
fortunes of men everywhere" We sent
our sons to Europe to fight for nation
al independence; and we will break
faith with those who died and those
that live if we now sacrifice the nation
for which they fought to the principle
of internationalism
In the process of supreme sacri-
fee" the Democratic party has repudi-
ated its solemn pledge and intena-
tionalized the Panama canal; denying
our people any greater privileges in
the canal they had built than those
enjoyed by other nations that never
contributed dollar nor owned foot
of its soil.
Process of Destruction.
AS further step in this process OF
"joining our fortunes with the for
tunes of men everywhere" the presi-
dent proposes the removal of econom-
ic barriers" which, if applied as stat
ed, would open our ports, as he has
opened the canal, to foreign goods on
the saMs terms as our own. 1t is a
process of destruction and we'll de-
nominated by him "a supreme sacri-
fee"
Under the name of mandates" OF
the League of Nations, a military gov
eminent is being imposed upon Meso-
2otamia and Syria. 1t may be neces-
gary; but it is neither necessary MOI
proper that the United States shall
become party to it. Whether we
shall or not llay be finally determined
by the senate, and by single vote il
the senate.
The Republican party proposes tc
maintain those separate fortunes fol
which our fathers fought. American
independence of Europe has mean
much for the world as we'll as for our
selves, and its sacrifice would be {
sacrifice for all mankind as we'll a:
for ourselves.
No Military League.
If disarmament can be brough
about it will be by friendly agree
ment, as with Canada, and not by
military league, as established a
Paris.
If the future peace of the world i
20 be encouraged, it will be by tn
cod;fcation of international law AM
the establishment of court of Law
Judges, to which the nations, in fre
association, will submit disputes. Onl,

WOMEN MAY VOTE
At THE PRIMARIES
Such Possibility Pointed Out
by Mrs. George A.
Dunning
NEED S STATES APPROVAL

1t is possible and probable women
may vote at the coming May primary
election.
Such possibility is predicted by
Mrs. Geor-e A. Dunning, one of the
leA1ers of the woman suffrage move
ment in this city.
Up to the present the suffrage amend
ment to the constitution has been rati-
fed by thirty one states, the last being
Arizona. which took such action re-
Gently.
Women suffragists of Philadelphia
are taking an active part toward bring,
ing about ratification in five additional
states. If these states take such ac-
tion it will mean that the women
throughout the country may cast their
ballots at the coming primary. Toward
this end campaign is being waged IN
more than a dozen states for special
legislative sessions to insure ratlhca
tion.
News that the Virginia House of
Representatives had defeated ratiflca-
tion by vote of 81 to u brought no
great disappointment, it is said, as
suffragists had not counted on Virginia
among the necessary thirty six states.
In discussing the outlook. Mrs.
Dunning said:
eve are virtually sure that two OF
the necessary five states will ratify tho
amendment. AS l view the situation,
New Mexico will ratify soon, and l
believe the amendment will be carried
in one of the southern states, perhaps
louisiana That leaves three special
sessions needed to get the requisite
number of thirty six ratifications be-
fore the primaries.
efforts are being made for such ses-
sions in Connecticut. Delaware, Yer
mont and other states. The organiza :
tion also is working very hard in some
of the southern states, and ! believe IT
is quite possible that it may be success
full in North Carolina.
"All but three of the suffrage states
have ratified. They are New Mexico.
Oklahoma and Washington. The gov
ernor of New Mexico has announced he
would call a special session of the Legis-
lature. but no date has been fixed.
efforts now are being made by the
national organization to get special ses
sions before the primaries in Oklahoma
and Washington and most of us are
confident of success in these states. Two
other states. Louisiana and Georgia,
have regular legislative sessions this
spring, the first in May and the latter
in June

live.
. Wilt, three hours after Mrs. Wilt

ley tracks at Nineteenth street and

scious, but regained his senses when
taken to the Methodist Hospital. He
said he had been struck by trolley
car.
The police. however. are convinced
that he cut his throat while crazed with
grief, as his wound is of such a char
acter that it could have been made only
by, razor or very sharp knife.
Wilt is structural iron worker and
for the last ten weeks had lived in a
rooming house kept by Mrs. Teresa
Branan. Two weeks ago Mrs. Wilt
became i'll. At first it was thought that
she merely had bad cold Then pneu
monia developed and her condition be-
came alarming.

frantic with grief and anxiety. and i'm
plored the doctor to save Mrs. Wilt.

band soon afterward left the house.

SPROUL SILENT ON BOOM
Governor Refuses to Add Anything
to Washington Speech

Although numerous politicians. in
Guiding Senator Edwin II. Ware. have
indorsed his boom for the Presidency
Governor Sproul is maintaining silence
on the subject
When pressed for a declaration on the
matter the Governor said he made his
position clear at dinner recently in
Washington where the Sproul boom was
launched. AT that time he said that if
Pennsylvania should get in the fight it
ought to go stronger than merely playing
the favorite son game and really try
to elect man who is chosen.
In expressing his views concerning
the Governor. Senator Ware said he
was broad gauged business man of the
type that would appeal to the voters.
There will be some lively congression-
nj contests at the next election. 1t was
learned today that William d. Disston.
of the Forty first ward. will contest
with Congressman Costello for the nom
ination from the Fifth district. Mr..
Disston was chairman of the Town
Meeting party in his ward and took an
active part in supporting Mayor Moore.
