M'ADOO URGES
FINE SPIRIT OF
COOPERATION
Says Country Wants Peace
Democratic Party is
Far From Dead.

New York, Nov. S.-William G..
McAdoo. former secretary Of the
treasury, in a statement last night
commenting on the election, de-
clared that what the country needs
is subsistence of the passions and
hatreds engendered by the war and
the partisan political appeals that
have followed.
1T is Of no value to try to ex-
plain the causes of the Democratic
defeat Nov. ~ the statement said.
THE overwhelming Republican vic
tory has given that party the presi-
dency and both houses of congress-
After March 4, it will have entire
responsibility for the policies and
administration Of the government
Under our political system it is al
ways better to have one party con-
troll at Washington than to have di-
vided authority.
Need of Genuine Peace.
What the country imperatively
needs now is subsidence of the pas
s;ons and hatreds engendered BY
the war and the partisan political
appeals that have followed. The
country is sick of political slanders
and controversies. 1t wants dOmes-
tic as well as International peace
and it wants restoration Of that fine
spirit Of cooperation which made
America invincible in war.
I'VE face domestic and interna-
tional problems OF, great gravity
The only way tossolve them Is
through cooperation. The highest
duty of the leaders Of both parties
is therefore to promote better feel
ing among all classes, to refrain
! from unworthy appeals to class and
racial prejudices, and to bring tC
bear upon our serious problems
that dispassionate and intelligent
consideration through which alone
there is promise of genuine public
service.
Democratic Party Not Dead.
1.-THE Democratic party has suf'
fered a severe but not a disastrous
, defeat. 1t is far from dead; it is
not even seriously wounded
Throughout our history overwhelm
ing political reverses have been fol
lowed by extraordinary political re-
coveries. So long as the Democrat.
ic party is true to its mission o
service to the common people i
will live. What we must do nos
! is to build up and strengthen th'
party organization, not in the in
terest of any individual or group Of
faction, but for the cause of democ
racy itself. and above all, for serv
ice Of country. 1t will not be diff
cult, through proper leadership ant
organization"

Russian anti-bolshevik forces under

General Wrangel has many long

as other heavy pieces, which have
been planted to protect his line from
the Sbolsheviki who also are con-
centrating their artillery forces.
It is believed probable the cam
paign during the ne3t few weeks
will be restricted to artillery bat
ties, unless General Wrangel de-
cides to attack the bolsheviki, as he
did last April successfully, when
the soviet armies were demoralized
by long operations and Withdrawals
to the Polish front.
1t is recognized General Wran-

CRASH LEAVES
LAD LYING AT
DEATHS DOOR
Six-Year-Old Moline Boy
Struck By Auto On
Street.

Donald Dawson. years old, son
Of Mr.. sand Mrs. H. Dawson, 745
Fourteenth street, Moline. is fight
ing for his life at the Moline public
hospital today from injuries incur
red when he was struck by an au-
tomobile Saturday evening. The
boy is suffering from concussion Of
the brain, but DR.. J. W. Seids, the
attending physician, believes he has
a chance for recovery.
The accident, which so nearly
cost the boys life, occurred on the
crowded street in front Of the Fifth
avenue exit Of the Fisk & Loosely
store about 5 p. m. Saturday. The
child had been sent to the store
for skein of green silk thread.
with instructions to look out for
automobiles and hurry right back.
He purchased the thread. left the
store after lodging two street cars
that were unloading and receiving
passengers. and was starting across
the south side Of the avenue when
he was struck and dashed to the
pavement by an automobile driven
by Pierre Flemming, 712 Nine
teenth street.
Injured by Force Of Fall.
It is believed the fender of the
car struck the boy in the head and
that it was the force of the fall to
the pavement that injured him,
there being no marks on his body.
Donald was lifted bleeding and
unconscious by Al Dunderberg and
Mr.. Flemming, who stopped his
car three feet from the spot where
the boy was nit. He was taken to
DR.. Seid's Office and later to the
hospital. 1t was reported Saturday
night that he would not live, but
this morning hopes for his recov-
cry are brighter.
Parents of the injured boy were
not informed of the accident until
almost an hour after it occurred.
Mrs. Donald was 2nxiously await
ing the return of her son when a
policeman and a pewsboy. who
knew Donald, arrived to tell her Of
the tragedy. Donald had been un-
able to give his name when taken
to the hospital and there were no
other means 'of identifying him.
ExOnerate Flemming.
Police exonerate Flemming, de-
claring that the automobile driver
was in no way responsible for the
accident. The fact that Flemming
stopped his car few feet from
the spot where the boy was struck
is taken as proof that he was not
driving rapidly. Flemming stated
that he did not see Donald until
Ahis car had struck him. the two
, street cars from behind which the
lad dashed obstructing his view
Hundreds of shoppers who witness
ed the accident also cleared Flem-
ming OF blame.

Harding Revealed.

l g.
Copyright 1920 by The August

Elihu Root has advised Sen. s
.ator Harding that "A new deal
from the beginning by sbAn.
! doning the peace treaty Of Yer.
sallles is impossible, and TINT
TO attempt 1t would bring chabG !:
and IA entire loss Of the re.
suits Of the war, and general
disaster involving the United !.
States"
This advice, it can now be dis
closed. was given by cablegram
during the latter part, OF August
and was an effort to keep Senator
Harding from adopting the extreme
position on the treaty and league
which Senator Johnson was advO-
eating. l d,
The ,cablegram was sent partly as
a result of an inquiry by Will Hays.
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, as to whether The
Hague court could not be so de-
fined as to include the work sup
posed to be the object of the League
Of Nations.
Also, there is an interesting story
of what happened az Marion when
the cable from Mr.. Root arrived.
First of all, this correspondent
presents exclusively today in The
Argus the ideas of Mr. Root as ca
bled to q man who was stopping In
Marion during the latter part OF.
August and showed the cablegram
10 Senator Harding. 80
/ What Root Cabled.
Here is substantially what Mr..
Root cabled:
"The Hague court cannot be
made to cover anything but Jus
ticiable questions. Matters of state
policy must be dealt with by con-
ferences of powers. See explana-
ton in my letter to Hays of March,
1919. 1t is very unwise to declare
the league dead. 1t would not be
true. The league has hardly begun
to function because the terms ut
peace have not yet been enforced
by the victorious nations. Polibh
questions, for example, are proper
ly being handled by the foreign Of
fees without any reference TO the
league. They are not the leagues }
business.
in my opinion a new deal from
the beginning by abandoning the
. Versailles treaty is impossible To
attempt it would bring chaos and
an entire loss Of the results Of the
war and, in general, disaster In.
volving the United States. The only
: possible course is to keep the
treaty. modifying it to meet the
requirements of the senate reser'
vations, and the Chicago platform
: and probably in some ether TO
spects.
THE precise way in which some
notifications can be best made
must be determined at the time ir
conference with the other parties
1t is impossible to forecast thu
: methods because conditions ney'
March are necessarily uncertain
. Now the control idea is that thu
deadlock resulted from Presiden
Wilson's perverse refusal to neso
tate for the consent Of other power'
4 to Americanization of the treaty. bu
that our new administration vii
secure that consent. A separate
declaration of peace was justifies
only by President Wilson's reflsa
1 to act. After March that viii M

President Elect. Says 'Meb-
be- and Likes a Good
Story; Doesn't Pose.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial TO The Argus. }


Marion. Ohio, Nov. 7.-(Enroute
to Washington.l = Presiaent-elect
Harding left on his vacation
trip with a feeling that the big
problem that will face him in his
administration will be better
tackled after a thorough rest and
complete detachment from the at
mosphere of politics in which he
has for SO many months been en-
veloped.
The president-elect leaves behind
as expectant q body Of townsfolk
as ever sent q man to the White
house, Those who have known
Harding for years know his every
fault and his every strong point,
and united in their expressions Of
confidence that he will make
good" They base it entirely on his
happy faculty Of making friends
and keeping them. He has a splen-
did amount Of tact, and good taste.
He makes people like him.
Nobody in Marion except OF
course the extreme hero worship
pers believe Warren Harding to be
a genius. He is looked upon. how
ever, as capable of surrounding
himself with good men and getting
help from them. All summer long
he has had advisers galore and
while it is unjust to say he has
been Influenced altogether by out
side minds for on many occasions
he has made decisions contrary to
everybody else's advice, it is q fact
that he has availed himself of such
advice as he has thought good And
rejected what he thought unwise.
~First Name Administration.
Another thing: The next admin
istration will be first name" ad-
ministration. What does that mean !
Simply that thers will be scores ot
folks who will be able to call the
new president Warren" and there
will be even more folks who will be
called Harry or. Dick or Tom as
the case may be by the president.
For Warren Harding is one OF
those human persons who isn't ex-
pected to change when he gets into
the White house. He will NOT
change as SO many presidents have
on reaching the White house il
Mrs. Warren Harding has much
to say about things-and everybody
seems to be agreed that she will
have q great deal to say. She has
the happy way of staying genuine
and breathing spontaniety. There
isn't neighbor in Marion who has
yet seen anything up-stage about
Mrs. Harding. She was Just the
same to the home folks after the
Chicago convention as before, AND
| she is Just the same after election
as she was in the campaign and
it's a safe guess that she will be the
same at the White house. There's
something delightful about the per
sonality Of the president-elec
! which impresses any newcomer. HI
makes q much better impression II
his private talks with newspaper.
men than his public speeches
Somehow he feels the restraint o
public speaking much more thar
most men do. Among the most in
| teresting incidents of the past weel
have been the talks between thu
president-elect and the newspaper
men in the little shack which ha.
been press headquarters through
out the campaign.
