 Let all new voters, women voters, Indepen- dents and Republicans who in doubt, consider whether this statement of thrty-one eminent Re mises are true or false, whether its reasoning is sound specious, and whether its conclusion is and patriotic, or injudicious, dangerous for the country, and at bottom immoral The thirty signers of the statement all honorable men.

 The conclusion of the statement of the thirty one eminent Republicans just quoted contains the attractive phrase advance the cause of interna- tional cooperation to promote peace" Where does that noble idea come from? From the pre- amble of the League of Nations Covenant, as fol. lows: 'The High Contracting Parties in order to promote international cooperation and to achieve international peace and security CD by the accept of obligations to resort to war, (2)by the prescription of open, just and honorable relations between nations, (3) by the firm establishment of understandings of international law as the actual rule of conduct among Governments, and (4) by the maintenance of justice and scrupuious respect for all treaty obligations in the dealings of organized peoples with one another, Agree to this Covenant of the League of Nations" If the new voter or the doubtful voter who loves the real America as he loves his mother his wife, will take into his mind and heart that preamble to the League of Nations Covenant. he will not to place the control of the government of the United States in the hands of the apostate Senators who defeated ratification

 sentimental verdict the League of Nations to the business interests of the country, such as national administrative economy. the labor prob lem, reduced taxation, and forth. In making this change they are counting dense ignorance and indifference and woeful lack of thinking power among American business men; for every compe- tent observer of European and American indus trial and financial conditions today testi6es that good functioning by the League of Nations is essential to the restoration of Europe and therefore to the prosperity of America. If the League of Nations fails, thers cannot be any reduction of national and state expenditures of taxation in the United States, any satisfactory settlement of the labor problem.

ss During the past few days good deal of light has been shed on the patriots duty at the coming election; because the moral issue in the campaign has been made clearer. To this carihcation the Republican candidate for the Presidency has tributed much, and so has the statement lately issued by thirty-one eminent Republicans. If this night be carried into the minds and hearts of a few millions of voters in 1he doubtful! states during the next fourteen days, decisive verdict will be returned on November End.
 What is the main condition or fact concerning which the American voters are to render verdict The main fact is that small group of Republican Senators have prevented the American people from doing their part in the great enterprise which devised and proposed by the International Confer at Paris, the reasons given for their action by the members of the group being selfish, mean and eowardly that they together constitute slan- der on the national character. Those Conferences developed Covenant for League of Nations which was the embodiment of ideals long cherished by political and religious philosophers, but first put into practicable shape, the leaders in that nercifa undertaking being American statesmen and scholars.
 For year and quarter already the Amer- can people have been prevented from doing their part towards winning the fruits of the military vic tory from standing faithfully by their comrades in arms from promoting the reduction of armaments the destruction of the military class, the abolition of secret diplomacy, and the prevention of war by dealing promptly and publicly in international bodies with incipient causes of war. This is the mortifyng and sickening fact which has now gone into history. Who did this evil thing3 The group of Senators who defeated ratification.
 The main concern at the coming election of every believer in democracy, of every man who has confidence in the magnanimity, courage, and good faith of the American people a whole, of every man who thinks that all honorable and profitable business is founded the complete fuhment of obligations oral or written. is how the government and people of the United States be rescued from this hralldom, placed again in honorable co-opera- tion with the forty odd nations already in the League and restored to their natural position in the world as the leading advocates of liberty, jus ticc, and peace for all men, The precise question before the intelligent and conscientious voter today is, For which candidate shall I vote, in the hope of restoring my country to its rightful position among the nations?
 The Republican candidate was selected by the very group of Republican leaders who have put this country into its present humiating and impo- tent position aiS he is sure to be their tool The Republican platform actually comments those same Republican, leaders for their action in the Senate
 The Democratic platform, on the other hand approves and supports the revised Covenant and Treaty; and the Democratic Convention nominated man who declares that he is in favor of carry ing the country into the League of Nations with or

CINE Company
Here is an industry that is already success
full. At this writing there are orders on the
books of the Midwest Engine Company for
over THIRTY THOUSAND UTILTTORS,
with a persistent demand from the biggest
truck and tractor builders in America for the
new Midwest high-speed, heavy duty truck
and tractor engine
Today when farmers, fruit growers and
truck raisers are looking for means with
which to solve the labor situation and still
maintain an ever increasing food production,
the Midwest Utilitor is filling definite need
and taking its place as one of the important
stabihzers of our economic life.
The Utilitor is simple mechanical device
correctly engineered and sturdily built-a ma
chine chat does the work in the field of one
horse or mule and on the belt the work of a
three-horse power engine.
The Utihtor does not suppant animal pow
er, but saves it. The Utilitor helps food rails
ers to get better work dorchester and at
less expense.
The Midwest Truck and Traction Engine
is an indication of this company's ability to
keep abreast of logical commercial develop
ment Pneumatic tires on trucks plus good
roads, very naturally produced demand for
a greater average speed from trucks. The
Midwest Engine Company is the FIRST
heavy duty engine that will operate continu-
ously under full load at either HIGH or low
engine speeds.

There is not weak spot in the whole Mid

the products are world famed and can never

Joining hands with these men should be

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
BEFORE THE OLYM-
PA LAWMAKERS

OLYMPIA, Wash, March 22.-Rati-
fication of the proposed suffrage
amendment to the federal constitution
probably will be one of the first acts
to be completed at the special session
of the Washington legislature which
convened here today.
Legislators and other state officials
said they believed there will be very
little, if any, opposition to the rati-
fication. Washington was one of the
first states to vote suffrage to women
and the last legislature petitioned
congress to submit the question OF
ratification to the states.
In addition to action on the amend
ment, the special session of the legis-
lature will also vote funds for the
states educational institutions. Money
voted by the last regular session has
not been enough, on account of rising
prices, to carry the schools over unit
the next regular session.
Governor L. F.. Hart hopes the spc
cial session will require cnly about
two days to complete it's work. Tht
session probably will occupy only TIVE
days, it is said, if flood of bills doe.
not come in. An agreement may b,
reached to keep out extra bills and t
confine the work to necessary bust
ness.

MEXICAN CONVICT
SAVES LIFE OF A
e~ MAN HE DISLIkES


PHOENIX, Ariz., March 22.-How
a physically powerful Mexican con-
vict saved the life of the foreman he
lisliked at the risk of his own life is
4 story p R. Mines, private secretary
to Governor Campbell. has brought
here on his return from trip to the
state penitentiarv at Florence, Ariz.
The convict, Pete Salinas. serving
term for burglary, had grudge
against his foreman of the road con-
struction gang, "Shorty" Mcdonald,
because of the discipline which the
foreman had to impose, according to
Secretary Mines. On the other hand
Salinas was considered troublesome,
powerful enough to be a source OF
danger, and spelling under restraint.
His act of heroism came one day
just after premature explosion
knocked Mcdonald unconscious. Sa-
linas who was out of the danger zone,
rushed in and, before all the rock had
stopped falling, threw his own body
on top of that of the foreman.
A rock fell on Salinas head and
dazed him, the secretary said. but
realizing another blast was due to
explode Immediately, the, 81 convict
struggled to his feet, picked up the
still unconscious foreman and dragged
him out of danger.
