CAMPAIGN IN ninth
DISTRICT OPENED
IN LEWIS COUNTY
Louisville Republican Leader Opens
Campaign In Ninth District
With a Big Rally In
Vanceburg

a crowd estimated at more than 1000
Lewis county voters, Eugene M. Dali
ey, of Louisville, opened the Repub-
lican campaign here with speech Mon
day afternoon in which he bitterly as
sailed the Wilson League of Nations
and the present national Democratic
administration.
Opening of the campaign was made
the occasion for an old-fashioned Re-
publican reunion and was participated
in by the voters from every nook and
corner of Lewis county. Mr.. Daley
arrived shortly before noon from Gin
cinnati and was met at the train by
large reception committee headed by
brass band.
The speaking was held in the open
air on the court house lawn and was
by far the biggest political gathering
that has been held here in months.
Included in the throng were hundreds
of women who applauded the speakers
gibes at the League of Nations.
Interest is already aroused in this
community and Lewis county prom
ises to give an increased Republican
majority at the election on November
2. The women will vote in equal pro-
portion with the men, and they are
almost solidly against the Wilson
League.
Taking up the issues of the present
campaign, Mr.. Daley said the Wilson
League of Nations is offered as a pan
acea for all the ills of the nation. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Daley said, YES, Can
didate Cox prescribing for the nation
offers us a pill of Wilson information
alism." M
The day of catchy phrases, Mr..
Daley declared is with us again. In
1916, he said, it was: He kept us out
of war" In 1918, Politics is adj
journed," and now it is HE will keep
us out Of all wars
Instead of the Wilson-Cox pill of in
ternationalism, Mr.. Daley said: SEN
ator Harding and the Republican party
proposes nationalism, which he said,
to the American mind seems sensible,
rational and common sense way of
getting at an adjustment of our do
nestle affairs.
1--WE haven't heard much lately
about making the world safe for de-
mocracy," sad Mr., Daley, land" said
he, Secretary Lansing says that the
fourteen points were not even discuss
ed at Versailles, but they went into the
discard and were RELOCATED to make
way for foreign peace and a foreign
contrived League of Nations covenant.
Governor Cox tells us that the only
way for us to reestablish our eco
nomic affairs here in America is to
adopt without reservations a state
policy which admittedly was prepared
in and by Europe. Senator Harding
believes that oupr problem is a home
problem, that it is here with us and
not with the myriad difficulties of for
eign territorial integrity, foreign SOW
ereignties and foreign political dis
putes.
"The Republican party cleaves to
the American view, while the Demo-
cratic candidate would have this coun-
try accept the view of Europe. While
our country're needs have. been much
neglected during the Presidents alb
sence in Europe thank goodness, the
American people are too resourceful
to allow the country to go to the dogs.
We have enough to eat, although the
Lord knows we have to pay dearly for
it, We have enough to wear, even If
sometimes we do wear denim and
and while there is a great,
feeling of unrest in the nation, the re-
sponsibility for which rests upon the
Democratic administration, our prob
lens can and will be settled through
the stout-heartedness of the American
people"
Senator Harding was described by
Mr.. Daley as a dignified candidate,
man of unblemished character, whose
feet, he said, are planted on the solid
rock of the constitution, man with a
record Of achievements in public life,
and one who has proven,b by his official
acts in the past that his country need
not fear to honor and to trust him.
In closing Mr.. Daley recalled that
during the warm months of August
and early September Candidate Cox
had been predicting that he will be
elected, but said, after the Maine cleo
ton and the primary In Georgia, he
had stopped making predictions, and
that now since the ides of
November will soon be here, the chilly
blasts of autumn must come and then
Governor Cows hopes of victory will
fade away like dew before the morn
ing sun.
