Senator Mosess campaign and his
probable denomination are of outstanding
interest and Importance, not only to the
Republicans of New Hampshire, but to
the Republican party all over the United
states. The League Of Nations; woman
suffrage and the tariff were the three
principal Issues that developed after Mr.
Spaulding, formerly State Food Admin
istrator. entered tho Aght against the
Senator, but Senator Moses based his
campaign almost entirely on his record
In opposition to the League of Nations
He was one OF the irreconcilables or
this question when the league was be-
fore the United States Senate, and the
returns from the early voting indicate
that he received the solid support oi
the New Hampshire Republicans who
are opposed to the league in any form
and the returns indicate also that these
are much larger in number even than
the Senator had maintained.
Has Effect All over United States.
The success of Senator Moses in win
ming his denomination on an out and
out anti-lea gde issue is expected to give
considerable impetus to the Republican
campaign throughout the country. The
indicated majority by which the Sena-
tor will carry New Hampshire against
Mr.. Spaulding, whose attitude on the
league is that he would accept II with
the Lodge reservations, proves conclu-
slyely that the vast majority Of the
Senator's constituents approved his
stand in the Senate against the peace
treaty and the league.
Republican candidates throughout the
country who are basing their campaigns
on the same issue that won for Senator
Moses will be able to point to the result
IN New Hampshire as proof that their
contention that the league Is not favored
oy the people is likely correct.
While the league issue was the prin-
opal and the most important issue of
the campaign, woman suffrage and the
tarln also came in for their share Of at
tehtlon' The Spaulding forces exerted
great efforts to capture the woman vote
!o1 their candidate on the strength of
senator Mosess opposition to woman
sunrage ever since that question has
oeen before the public. On the other
hand, the State Anti-Sufrrage Associa-
uon published appeals to women who
nad opposed suffrage TO register and
vote for the Senator.
