hemming and having for four

hitting Johnson and Borah to

and Taft and Hughes to say he
was for it. But now he has cast
in his lot with BORAH-and an

The cheap politics of the Re-

should have the effect Of caus-
ing the women of the country
to line up solidly for the Demo-
cratic party and the League Of
Nations. They certainly can
have no confidence in Mr.. Hard
ing. AS a matter of fact, the
best leaders of the Republican
party favor the League; and
most certainly the independent
thought of the nation is for it.

joined it, it should be good

\ This lady Of 88 years quietly
informed her son last week that

Prior to the enactment Of the

opposed rather than favorable
to woman's suffrage. But now
that the law has placed upon
women the voting privilege she
rightly consider it her DUTY to
register and vote just as much
as any household duty she
might be called upon to per-
form.
And the women all over the

only ten more days remain in
which the white women Of Rich

a duty they owe their county

Il want to commend you for
publishing the remarkable POI
litical letter two weeks ago. It

seriously thinking, and when
once they think seriously there
will be but one result they will
be bound to vote the straight
Democratic ticket. A burnt

surest way to NEVER return to
such days is to vote the Demo-

Personally I was opposed to
woman's suffrage. Her infu-
ence can be welded to much
greater good in the home than
at the polls. But that is not the
point that we must now argue
but rather how to reap the
greatest good from the powers

The once so rosy gills of Re-
publican hope are pale. October
has spread a frost over the
sweet June dream.
Two months ago, even a
month ago, the chance of DEM
ocratic victory in the Nation
were slim. It seemed that the
solid German-American vote
would be too much to overcome.
But the clouds have rifted-the
silver lining is appearing, and
even way down here in Rich
mond county the prospect Of a
National Democratic victory
looms with an exceeding bright
radiance.
Of course no one seriously
questions the result in Rich
mond county or in North Caro-
lima. The only question is as to
the SIZE of the MAJORITY.
But what the Post-Dispatch is
now speaking of is the probable
result Nationally.
The effort of the Republicans
to be both for and against the
League of Nations has broken
down. In fact Senator Harding
last week fatty announced that
he was AGAINST the League,
thereby casting in his lot with
Johnson and Borah. 1t would
have been mighty convenient
for the Grand Old Party" to
! have continued to carry water
on both shoulders until Election
Day. But Borah demanded a
showdown Of Harding, and
Harding came across. But I'M
fortunately for the G. o. p,
there are hundreds Of thousands
Of Republicans Of principle who
are reluctant to swallow their
convictions and they will display
no readiness to put up with the
easy antiquities and double
faced attitude Of their party
leader. Interest in the League
Of Nations is growing and will
continue to grow.
