MAY ADOPT MODIFIED
RESERVATIONS TO ART. X.

A modified draft of the republican
Article 10 reservation to the peace
treaty is understood to have been
assented to in Washington by a num-
Der of republican leaders working
with the democrats for ratification
compromise.
The new reservation was said to
follow in general the outline of the
original republican proposal adopted
last November, but to contain a
number of changes in wording
agreed to at the suggestion of demo-
Gratis
Republican senators seemed con-
fident that the new reservation
would have the approval of Senator
Lodge.
Democratic senators were slow in
promising their support while they
weighed the meaning of the letter
written by President WILSON, reiterat-
ing his opposition to any reservation
which would impair the full force"
of Article 10.
The presidents letter and Article
10 was debated in the senate, Sena-
tor Lodge declaring that 1t had laid
bare the difference in principle be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and the senate ma
jority.
''There is not any objection made
by the opponents of Article 10 here"
said the republican leader, ."ttat is
not admitted and advocated in this
letter. 1t is set forth as a definite
and binding article founded on
"naked force"
Senator owen, democrat Of Okla
homa, who has voted for many res
ervations, said he refused to be a
party to the defeat of the treaty or
to its delay.

MANY sCHooLs NO CLosE

There is every indication that
many of the rural schools of Audi
bon county will remain closed for the
spring term, all on account of the
shortage of teachers. There are 108
rural schools in Audubon county and
during the winter all but four or five
schools had been supplied with
teachers.
In an interview with Miss Ella M.
Stearns, county superintendent yes
terday we learned that 81 rural
schools of this county are asking for
teachers for the spring term and
that so far only one teacher is avail
able. This begins to look serious.
1t is utterly impossible to secure aid
from outside counties, and unless
the situation changes, at least a
third of the rural schools of Audu-
bon county will be without teachers
for the spring term.
When asked the reason for the
shortage Of teachers Miss Stearns
said: well, the teachers object to
going out into the country in the
first place, and in the second place
many are securing positions that pay
as much or more than they receive
for teaching"
There Is no denying but that the
country is facing serious situation
with reference to school teachers.
They have long been an underpaid
class. Other positions. even though
paying less money are more attrac-
tive. What the solution will be win
be watched with considerable inter-
est. Teachers in the town schools
are asking for higher wages in order
to meet their legitimate expenses and
in many cities and towns their de-
mands have been met.

BOTH AUDUBON TEAMS TO

The boys and girls basket ball
teams of the Audubon high school

The boys team has been invited to
play in the tournament at Casey
where Bayard, Guthrie Center, Casey
and Audubon will contend for hon.
ors. The Casey team has put up a
loving cup which will be awarded
to the winner. The Audubon team
has played number of these teams
and believe they are in position to
give the best team represented a tus-
sci worth while.
The girls team has been invited
to play in the tournament on invita-
ton of Drake University. Sixteen
teams are to participate. On account
of the excellent showing the Audu-
bon girls have made during the past
season. they we're invited to take
part. Here is hoping that both Of
the teams win.

WOMEN MAY YET
VOTE in IOWA
WEST VIRGINIA LINED UP FOR
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE IN A
HOT FIGHT

Women of Iowa will vote in the
June Primaries, is the prediction Of
women suffrage leaders.
West Virginia, the 34th state to
ratify the national suffrage amend
night. The vote of legislator,
who was rushed from Chicago to
West Virginia by special train, broke
tie vote, and West Virginia ratified
by a vote of 10 to IA. Chairman
Will Hayes of the republican nation
al committee was responsible for the
special train, which helped to bring
West Virginia into line.
Mrs. Frank Dodson, chairman of
the republican women's organization
in Iowa and Mrs. H. w. Spaulding of
Grinnell predicted that within a few
weeks the necessary thirty-six states,
with one more for good measure,
would ratify and thus give women OF
the state and nation full and equal
suffrage rights.
Washington, where a special ses-
sion will be called at once, already
has equal suffrage for women. This
since 1910, and the women do not
doubt but that Washington will be
the 35th state to ratify.
The governors of Washington,
Connecticut and Delaware are under
pledge to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
and other prominent suffrage lead
ers to call special sessions for the
purpose of suffrage amendment rat
ification. Both of these states have
republican legislatures. Will Hays
and the national committe are re-
ported as ready to urge these two
states to ratify. This because the
majority of states which ratified have
republican legislatures, and the party
chiefs realize this will furnish cam
paign argument when they seek to
align the women with a political par
ty.
States which ratified the amend
ment in 1919 are: Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Texas, Iowa. Missouri, Arkansas,
Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Utah, California, Maine,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Colo

Those ratifying in 1920 are:

Indiana, Wyoming, Nevada, New Jer-
sey, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Ok
lahoma and West Virginia.

SENATOR KENYON Is
OUT FOR JOHNSON
JUNIOR SENATOR OUT IN
SUPPORT OF THE CALL
FORNIA MAN

Senator Kenyon Wednesday after
noon gave out astatementi in favor of
Senator Hiram Johnson for presi-
dent. He commended Johnson as
a man of the Roosevelt type and not
a reactionary and said the republi-
cons should consider 1924 as we'll as
1920. Senator Kenyon summed up
the matter in this language:
Hiram Johnson has a record of
constructive and executive work as
governor of great state. He fought
the special interests there who were
trying to control the state Just as he
has fought them in congress where
they are ever busy. There will be
no wirelesS> connections between his
administration and invisible govern
ment, none of those desiring to Sc
cure privileges by friendly admin
istration or through legislation, and
the only supporters he seems to have
are the people. He is making the
fight as great, big, red-blooded,
hard-hitting American.
MANY people do not go as far as
he does on the treaty question but,
nevertheless, they have such con-
fldence in the man, his courage, abil-
ity. fidelity to every public trust and
broad vision for the future that they
support him Notwithstanding any
disagreement as to his position on
the treaty.
"As to that. however, the presi-
dent in his Letter of Monday has made
the issue. 1t is article 10 and force
under article 10. Let that question
go to the country. Let the fight
come. Let the democrats nominate
Woodrow Wilson under the white
Mag of internationalism and the re-
publicans nominate Hiram Johnson
under the Stars and Stripes of Amer
icanism. That will be a contest
worth while and there will be hardly
enough left of the Wilson party to
hold respectable coroner's in
quest"

city TICKET NAM
ED AT CAUCUS
R. ID. HAWKS NOMINATED FOR
MAYOR ON THE CITIZENS
TICKET MONDAY NIGHT

A caucus of the citizens of the city
of Audubon was held in the court
room at the court house last Monday
evening. Arthur Farquhar was
made chairman and Blair Rice sec
rotary.
The caucus named full ticket
with r. d. Hawks the insurance man
heading the ticket for Mayor. A.
f. Beason and Ed f. Johnson were
nominated for councilmen-at-large,
George Foley for councilman in the
first ward and F. d. Lane for coun-
Gilman in the second ward. F. A.
Johnson was nominated for city
treasurer and A. L. Viewer for asses
sor.
The attendance was large, more
than lao voting. The first ballot for
mayor was an informal one in which
J. A. Cozine received 81 votes, r. ID.
Hawks 13, F. ID. Lane z. The names
of twelve other men were voted on.
all of whom received from one to
FIVE votes. The second ballot was
formal one and resulted in Cozine
receiving As votes, Hawks 43 with
scattering votes for others The
third ballot resulted in a nomination
when Hawks received So votes, to
So for Cozine.
The balloting for councilmen at
large was a long drawn out affair.
None of the old members were candi-
dates but the people seemed to favor
them nevertheless. On the informal
ballot thirty-seven names were
brought out. Beason received 46
votes, e. NJ Johnson SO, d. W. Full
lerton IL, Geo. Ross IL, Ed Johnson
10, Evans Marquesen 3 and George
Carter 8. The second ballot was
formal one which gave Beason 81
votes, which being a large majority
over all gave him the nomination. On
this ballot f. M. Johnson had 4S
votes and Ed F. Johnson %. On
the second formal ballot Ed Johnson
had "a votes against AZ for e. M.
Johnson.
When it came time for selecting
councilmen for each of the two
wards, the crowd was divided. IT
took several ballots to make nomi-
nation, however. In the first ward
Geo. Foley was nominated and in the
second ward F. d. Lane received the
nomination.
Balloting had been in progress for
over two hours and as the hour was
getting late many went home. How
ever a goodly number remained to
nominate F. A. Johnson for treasur-
err and A. l.. Viewer for assessor. Both
men were nominated on the first bal
lot. Johnson receiving 70 out OF SO
votes cast and Viewer So out Of "a
votes cast.
The ticket seems to meet the APP
prevail of a large number OF the peo-
pie, but there is still some talk OF an
other ticket being put into the field.
It would be better to have second
ticket in the field It would bring
out a larger vote and the voters
should be given an opportunity to
make choice. Irf matters Of this
kind no one needs to feel hurt II they
are defeated for practically every
nomination is made without the con-
sent of the nominee.

BRYAN is oPPOsEb o
THE NEBRASKA .

Inc I0llOWlng statement b.
liam Jennings Bryan was given =
at the> Commoner office for publica-
ton is self-explanatory:
I'm view of the fact that Senator
Hitchcock has signified his intention
Of fling as a candidate for president
before the Nebraska primary, it is
due to the public that / state my po-
sition on this subject. l am oppos-
ed to the senator's candidacy. His
nomination would be equivalent to
an announcement that the party has
no desire for success or hope of vic
tory. Forty-fve states have rati-
fed the prohibition amendment to
the constitution; it would be an in
suit to these states for the demo-
Gratis to put up man, who, like Sem
ator Hitchcock, voted against the
submission of the national amend
ment after Nebraska had adopted
constitutional prohibition by a 49,
900 majority. The woman suffrage
amendment has been ratified by
more than two-thirds of the states,
and there is now no doubt of its rat
ification probably before the national
convention meets. Even though
ratification should not be completed
before the election, more than half
of the women Of the United States
will vote in the presidential contest
by virtue of state statutes or state
amendments. Senator Hitchcock
voted against the submission of
woman suffrage after the state legis-
lature had asked him to vote for it,
and his refusaltto follow the advice
of the state legislature on suffrage
came at a time when his vote would
have passed the resolution for sub
mission and given the democratic
congress the honor of having opened
the way for that great reform. Senat-
or Hitchcock's nomination would,
therefore. be an offense to all the
women voters.
