check by reason of delay in recon
structive work. The present condition
of international exchange is eloquent
to those who understand it's meaning.
You can smuggle against an embargo
or tariff, but not against an unfav-
orable rate of exchanges that kills
business with other countries. The
failure to conclude peace is not only
withholding the essentials of recon
struction from the European peoples,
but it is threatening increasingly to
longest our production and aggravate
the domestic difficulties arising from
our recent state of war. The time has
passed for sacrificing this great issue
TO the play of partisan politics; in the
name of a common humanity and an
enlightened national spirit, let us have
peace!

lions of our republican institutions
menace our prosperity and orderly
progress and bear heavily upon the
destiny of the republic, but none is
more important than the peace trea-
Ity. 1t overshadows all others as the
immediate issue which, without a
righteous decision, is an obstacle 10
the solution of other vitality import
ant problems. 1t bears upon the des-
tiny of nations and the stability and
progress of civilization. It's outcome
will determine our place among the
nations. 1t bears upon our own peace
and prosperity and is vital to the or
derby progress of democracy. of which
America is the leader, and with the
fate of which our free Government is
inextricably bound.
The overshadowing importance of
this Issue was demonstrated by its
weight in the minds of the leaders Of
both parties and in the minds of the
people. 1t is a matter of profound
regret that this question, which ought
to have been disposed of months ago,
still stands in the way of other vital

Of which is necessary to our domestic
peace, order and progress. But there
it stands, and the President, in his
unanswerable argument for its ratifl-
cation, says it cannot be disposed Of
until it is disposed of in the right
way.
If the Senate majority's partisan
stupidity and stubbornness send the
issue to the people, the responsibility
for the delay in driving of a great
program of democratic and humane
advancement into the mire of politics
will be fixed. 1t will rest upon those
who blocked the advance from the
lowest motives of personal prejudice
and hatred and partisan advantage.
The delay of peace reconstruction
and the thrusting aside Of all other
problems which press for solution,
with the consequent suffering and
danger, will not be laid upon the man
who led US to victory in the war and
tried to lead us into covenant of JUS
tice, liberty and enduring peace. 1t
will not be laid upon those who were
willing to make fair compromise.

THE BIG ISSUE

Senator Lodges attempt to put the
blame of the defeat of the peace treaty
by the Senate on President Wilson is
a shameless and contemplate piece Of
insincerity and demagouery.
The President helped to make the
treaty and stands on solid ground OF
honor and right and reason when he
asks that the treaty, which embodies
in the main the ends for which we
entered the war and finished it at
tremendous cost of precious blood and
treasure, be ratified without changes
which would nullify or impair it or
would weaken our participation in its
execution and in the operation of the
League of Nations.
Senator Lodge has persistently
worked to nullify the treaty by vital
amendments, which were designed to
weaken it so much and to reduce our
participation to such shadow that
it's influence would be destroyed. His
reservations, in spirit and letter, take
the soul and strength out Of the peace
covenant and make it shell not worth
the effortito carry out, They pust US
in the latitude of cowardly evasion
of Obligations and responsibilities
which other nations are willing cheer
fully to assume and which we are
bound in honor and conscience to share
fully with them.
We do not indorse Mr.. Bryan's at
titudc of unlimited compromise. He
is moved in this by the bastard spirit
of peace at any price which moved
him to condone the crimes of Ger
many in order to keep US out of war.
The issue of the treaty and the coven-
ant is too important to be shirked.
Their content and meaning the too
vital to the welfare of mankind and
the peace and progress Of all nations
to be lightly twisted and CARRIED out
of the definite great purpose for which
they were framed.
We agree with Mr.. Bryan that the
treaty Sught TO he ratified at once and
that it would a calamity to delay
it until the next election forces the is
sue before the people, but we agree
with Mr.. Wilson that this must be
done unless the treaty is ratified in "a
form acceptable to other signatory
nations and in accord with the highest
standard of honor and fidelity t9 our
own ideals and obligations as a par
ticipant in the war and in the peace
covenant to the end secret, selfish,

LET US HAVE PEACE

-, :.
The artificial division of time in
vests the first day of January with
sentiment; it serves to punctuate the
periods of life, and halt the needless
progression of human thought. 1t is
day for taking stock of the morrow;
whittier are we voyaging and how
the barometer? Let us confess that
1919 las been a great disappointment
to the idealist and the optimist, to
men of liberal thought and hopeful
vision. When the armistice was
signed near the end of 1913 and peace
was promised at an early date, we
looked to 1919 to redress the dlsor-
dered balance of the world and to heal
the hurts of the great conflict. We
looked forward to a period Of recon.
struction in our country and of re-
Mobilization in those devastated by
war. 1919 failed to fulfill it's promise.
Much of Europe remains distracted
and unorg2nized, famine and pesti-
lence stalk in the wake of the grim
spectre of war, the Russian cesspool
corrupts the air of three continents,
the treaty of peace is not signed, the
covenant of the League of Nations
has been rejected, and even the ma
tons that were allied in battle have so
lost the guise of comradeship that
they suspect each other almost as
much as their unrepentant foe. 1t is a
miserable ending to a black chapter
in human history, Evidently a great
mistake was made. The armistice
came too soon. 1t were better to have
continued the fighting long enough to
have finished the task of conguering
the Germans in battle and then treat
ing them generously, instead of leav-
ing the military task unfinished, so
that it had to be supplemented. after
the armistice, by an economic block
ade and other reprisals. "The world
hes had great fright" as Mr.. Lloyd
George said, and in it's fright it took
number of precautions that reflect
ed the distrust of mankind and the
apprehensions of the allied nations so
thoroughly as to undermine the foun-
dations for peace. 1t would have been
better, as we see it now, to have fin
ished the war and foregone the de-
mands for punitive justice; to have
ended the economic blockade and alb
stained from penalizing unborn gen.
erations; to have made a generous
gesture and allowed the enemy all the
help he needed to regain a healthful
natural life; to have called for the aid
of all, conquered as well as conquer
ors, in united effort to bring order
out of chaos and economic Stability
out of internecine strife. The end Of
the year finds civilized mankind in a
mean mood. suspicious, Jealous,
greedy, and auarrelsome. The mes,

MANAGERS PLAN ID
 RENEW SEAT FIGHTS
 BEFORE COMMITTEE

CHICAGO, June 6.-Campaigu man agers today prepared to renew before the convention credentials committee their contests of delegates decided by the Republican national committee. Some of the contests may be carried to the convention floor. There are pos abilities that virtually all of the con tests will be appealed to the creden- tials committee, to be appointed next Tuesday, with expectation of q report to the convention Wednesday.
 The sweep of the Lowden forces in the national committees decisions, it is believed, will furnish the principle work for the credentials committee.
 Chairman Hays today gave out a statement declared it significant that all contests involving large numbers were disposed of by unanimous and viva Voce action"
 Half of the contests had been de- cided" MT. Hays pointed out, by unanimous action and the third days session was far advanced before there was even a roll call. As I recall there were only four roll calls on con test matters during the week. The diversity of the vote cast, which was 36 10 l . in the Tenth Minnesota, s to 34 in the Fourth Georgia.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Failure of congress to act on nearly 200 executive appointments before adjournment yes terday, combined with a number of vacancies now existing or expected to occur soon in government departments and the diplomatic service, is expected to lead to a number of recess appoint ments by President Wilson.
 While the larger portion of the un- confirmed nominations are postmasters of the lower grades, appointments to q number of important offices were not acted on by the senate.
 The latter included the nominations of Henry Morgenthau to be ambassa- dor to Mexico; Mark W. Potter, Henry Jones Ford and James Duncan to the interstate commerce commission; sam uel W. McCull 10 the federal trade commission; Martin L. Gillen to the shipping board and John Skelton Will Hams to be comptroller of the cur Tency-
 The principal existing vacancy in the governmental department is that of under secretary of state, from which office Frank L. Polk will retire June 15. The state department tonight made formal announcement of the acceptance of the post by Norman H. Davis, now assistant secretary of the treasury.
 Diplomatic posts now vacant incluce those of ministers to Bulgaria, Finland Greece and Honduras.

Big Delegations From East Lean

CHICAGO, June 6-A steady stream of delegates is pouring into this md Clle western metropolis from every di- rection, with a result that the city is even now, well filled.
 Political prophecy is a matter of conjecture because of the many cross currents. but with Wood manifestly n the lead. His residence was thronged with delegates Sunday evening and he held an informal conference with the Arizona delegation and other Arizona friends.
 The general is in the pink Of condi- tion after his pre- convention cam paign and serene ands confident. IL developed today that Maine. " ermODT. New Hampshire and Rhode Island will all cast solid votes for Wood and that while the majority Of the Massachu- setts delegates will make a compliment tary vote for Coolidge. the rest of the vote from that state will be cast for Wood on the first ballot. There is also considerable Wood strength de- velopins in tke Pennsylvania and New York delegations.
 A keen contest is being waged for permanent chairman between Senators Lodge, MedIl Mccormick and Bever- idge, with chances favoring the former.
 The Arizona delegation held it's caucus today with Allen Jayne presid- ing and made the following appoint D. on permanent organization: Willis, to notify the presidential nominee: Poole. on rules and order of business; and Elias on credentials The delegates also had a conference with Frank Hitchcock and outlined Q regular plan of action.
 While Lowden has been successful in most of the contests in the southern states and will cast good vote on the first ballot there is but little T,OWden sentiment among the western dele gates and in the big states of New York and Pennsylvania there seems much more Wood or Johnson senti- ment than for Lowden or Harding

North Carolina is the purest American state in the union, with less than one per cent of it's population of foreign birth. Yet, I suDpost that a certain section of the press will an- nounce tomorrow that these Americans have been metamorphosed into Sim Feiners. pacifists. pro- Germans and Red radicals by the act of voting for me.
 How, logically, q candidate can be selected by the republican national convention for presidential nomination from among a field of four, who has never been better than third or fourth, passes belief with me. I'm convinced that a republican convention will hold the will of republican voters.
