APPEALS FOR SUP.
PORT IN REDEMPTION OF THE
PLEDGE TO END WARS
LEAGUE GOING CONCERN
Partisan Jealousy Only Reason Psc:
Was Not Ratified by Senate
10 Months Ago.

Making his chief appeal on the NO /.
cessity of the ratification of the Cove
nant Of the League Of Nations. Georgc
F. Cotterill, democratic nominee for
United States senator, addressed an
audience Of Olympians in Central halt
yesterday. He scathingly denounced
Wesley l.. Jones, incumbent and re-
publican nominee. for taking part III
the filibuster of the "Wilful Twelve
on March 4, 1917. He quoted CO.
piously from republican newspapers,
among them the Tacoma Tribune, the
Seattle Post-Inteligencer, and tho
Spokane Spokesman-Review excoriat-
ing the republican nominee for his
obstructionist tactics. He urged the
election Of Cox and Roosevelt and !
democratic congress to prevent Z re-
version to the standpatism which was
almost obliterated in 1912.
I'VE must enter the League Of Ma
tons" Mr.. Cotterill said, Sin order TO
redeem the pledge we gave our SOL
rdier boys that the World War was to
end all future wars. Unless we rat
ify the covenant an the sacrifice Of
millions Of lives and billions Of treas
ure will have been in vain. There
will be woeful de- Of awakening Tor

is allowed to pass without some rec
ompense."
48 Nations Ratify Covenant.
'The League Of Nations is already
an existing fact. because 43 nations
have already ratified the covenant.
including all the civilized nations en-
cept America, Mexico, Russia, ami
the late enemy powers" Mr.. Cotterill
stated. If there were any danger 0f
q superstatc being erected by the
league, why did not some Of the great
statesmen OF the other civilized ma
tions discover that fact? The repub-
lican oligarchy in the senate would
have you believe Lodge was the only
statesman in the world capable of see-
ing such danger. The European
powers. Great Britain, France, Or
Itay, are no more desirous OF an
dangering their national sovereignties
than America.
There is ony one reason why the
republican oigarchy in the senate rc-
fused to ratify the covenant" Mr..
Cotterill exclaimed. land that is the
jalous, partisan fear that a demo-
cratic president might get some glory
from ushering in great world
event."

Paris. Oct. 4.-Russia's real ruler is
young girl, Olga Gorokhoff, whose in
fluence over Lenine. the Bolshevist
premier, is such that he obeys her
slightest whim like the monk Ras-
putin. who welded such great influence
over the family Of Gar Nicholas, she
processes to possess mystic powers Of
prophecy, which first attracted the at
tenticn Of Lenine to her.
Despite her youth. but twenty three
years. she is bitter enemy of Great
Britain. and from the palace which has
been assigned to her by the Soviet Gov
ernment she breaches holy war in
India and Persia against the British.
According to reports reaching here,
Mile. Gorokhoff's personal charms al
ready have caused trouble between the
Bolshevist heads and officers in the Red
army, several Of these officers having
been denoted recently because they car
ried their friendship to Mile. Gorokhofi
beyond the limits agreeable to the CHIEF
commissioners Of the Soviet Govern
ment.
