The most serious decision ever
reached by the Aaser,>sn people
will be made ON Tuesday, Tie sec
ond of November, tae ooanuy
will vote on that day 10 continae
American Government ,ndopoii-
cent of European cea,roi, or ~
will vote to end independent gov.
ernment Of tho United States and
substitute for IL control by EI-
rope under the League of Nations.
IL you will take the trouble,
you can change at least one vote
between now and election day.
And il you do that. the League of
Nations will be killed. And with
the defeat Of Mr.. Cox, Europe,
learning that il cannot call on the
United States TO help in its hght-
ing, will 20 back to peace. Vote
AGAINST the League of Nations,
AGAINST Mr.. Cox, and every
man that advocates the war
league.
WOMEN
You create the 'food for can
non," the sons that are sent to
war, lie in trenches and moan in
hospitals. ,.
The League of Nations, which
Mr.. Cox is pledged to fasten on
the nation, would drag the United
States into wars entirely apart
from our responsibility.
Those who tell you that the
League of Nations is a PEACE
League do not understand plain
English, or they lie to you.
Article K, which would compel
this country to defend the bound
aries Of fifty foreign nations, could
compel this country, at moments
notice, to enter wars Of foreign
countries.
The League of Nations is a
WAR League. The woman who
votes for it votes to establish war
more firmly in Europe. Europe,
of course, would fight more often
and more readily with Americas
men and money to draw upon.
A vote for the League of Ma
tions is a vote to give the wars of
Europe a claim on your son,
brother, husband.
WORKINGMEN-
In the game of war, which the
League of Nations would keep
permanently alive, and fasten on
this country, you workingmen are
the pawns. You are little pieces
in the war game moved about,
showed up in front, and picked to
make openings for big pieces in
the rear.
You are the RAW MATERIAL
of war. And soon, you see signs
of it already, you are to pay for
the recent great war with unem-
ployment and want.
When this country goes to war
of its own accord you have some
thing to say about it-although not
much. But with League Of Ma
tions running the countries Of the
world and managing the United
States, what influence would you
have? You'd be conscripted like
sheep herded into the yards.
No matter what any labor lead
er, flattered by foreign attention,
or influenced by foreign birth, may
tell you, remember that the League
of Nations would deprive you
workingmen, absolutely of any
chance to decide war or peace.
You would 60 when ordered, and
orders would come from abroad.
Don't let anybody deceive you
with talk about the power Of Con-
gress." How much power did
Congress have when the last war
was on? Not more than a collec-
ton of puppy dogs in front of a
buffalo stampede.
If workingmen with their votes
fasten the League of Nations to
this country they will vote away
what remains Of their own free
dom. They will deserve what they
get, and they won't soon forget it.
BUSINESS MEN
You pay large part Of the
bills in war. You and others pay
in taxes now five hundred millions
a year to make up for interest that
Europe does NOT pay on ten
billions borrowed from US re-
Gently.
Later you will pay in taxes
money that this country is now
lending Poland to carry on war
against Russia. You will pay for
years to come the expense of wars
all over the world, II you allow
this Government to enter the
League Of Nations. and allow a
foreign council to decide for the
United States what it shall do
under given conditions.
You are not deceived by state
ments that the United States
might refuse TO obey foreign
orders. II we enter the League,
Mr.. Cox's government in favor Of
the League would select the one
man to vote for this nation in the
foreign council. Selected by an
