MRS CARROLL MAKES AN INTER
ESTING AND PATRIOTIC TALK
ALONG POLITICAL LINES. IA

1 Speaking in behalf of the women
voters IN North Carolina, DIR. Dixon
carroll made a strong appeal for the
league OF nations Wednesday night at
the auditorium before a large audi
ence. She stated that the partisan
view of the Republicans on such a.
national issue as the league is the
sole thing that prompted her to en-
ter into the campaign. She said that
the league covenant is something
more than platform; that it is the
great security of peace, which appeals
to all mothers who sacrificed their
! sons in the recent world war.
DIR. Carroll favored the adoption
of the league of nations without
reservations; and afterwards, if res
erVatlons are necessary, let them be
| a3ded. She said no fault can be
found with the league as it now
stands, and that it's opponents are
opposed to it because a democratic
president is it's author. She further
said great many republicans who
c3ndemn it have never set eyes upon
it. The speaker asserted, "I've read
the league of nations - every word
tc1ng without a question:
Mrs. Carroll pronounced the at
tacks on the league of nations as po-
iltical' madness, which should be ig-
nored until this battle for the presi-
dency is over. She said that the
league covenant was formed, when
Woodrow Wilson and other great
statesmen had their country at heart.
f. was Immediately ensuing the first
d aft at Versailles that Wilson had
the Inag"o docum ct naIkIi~he1 ~ - a
United States. Whereupon, q pro-
posed reservations were suDmlLteu ID
the president by such patriotic states
men as Roosevelt and Taft Where
fore the president returned to YER
sGilles and added these reservations
to the league, so far as was agreeable
with all the other nations. Where
Was Lodge then?" very forcibly asked
the orator.
The speaker said, moreover, that
from that time practically no objec-
tions were made to the league of
nations, until recently when both
parties laid aside their patriotism
and entered the realm of politics.
L
Wilson, being weary OF the petty
objections of the Republican sena-
tors, refused any reservations, for he
understood their motives. She said
that the Republicans did and do not
want to dot an "i' or cross a 't'
but that they want to defeat the
league entirely. Here she appealed
to the women not to let them carry
out their Infamous purpose.
During the latter part of her
speech she spent few minutes in
alluding to the great qualities of the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, Governor Cox. She said THAI
even though many of his enemies
called him "politician," his real abil-
ity could best be judged by the read
ing of the legislation that he has in
troduced into Ohio in the last IL
years, which legislation might well
be used as a model by every state in
the union.
At the very outset of her speech
DR.. Carroll said that the men of
North Carolina are scared nigh unto
death of the new woman voter. And
she said they were something to be
scared of, since there are 100000 in
this state that are eligible to vote
this fall.
She said also that, although a great
many people have been worried in
North Carolina, our governor 1nclud-
ed, concerning the result of enfran-
chising women; but that she herself
never was. She said that women
never hurt anything they go into, and
nothing ever hurts good women; and
although Eve was made from the
m oet crooked bone in Adams body,
women are the best house-cleaners in
The world.
Mrs Carroll ended her discussion
with an appeal to the men of the city
5o encourage and urge the Demo-
cratic women to register and vote,
md thus bring about a complete vic
,cry in High Point, for victory rests
