"Nighte Night is the work Of two

in an hilarious manner, the conse-
quences which may befall man who

farce has had an apparently harmless
affair with a certain dancer of the
stage in his early life, and the wife
has selected this particular affair to-
harbor constant jealousy The hus.

friend in a Pullman car on hurried

himself to a certain extent, the other
two branches of government: Legi-
slative and Judicial.
Following the speech of Senator
Dillingham;, James Hartness Of
Springfield, Republican candidate for
Governor, spoke briefly.
Mr.. Hartness stated that, in spite
Of the strenuous campaign which
the Republican candidates had car
ried on throughout the state, the
defeated candidates were among the
very first to congratulate him on his
victory. He stated that his cam
paign had been one entirely free
from mud throwing" and brick
heaying' and what he had done in
his recent campaign, he had done en-
tireiy for the best interests of the
party.
The luncheon was attended by
about 100 Republicans from the state
and county and much enthusiasm
was shown Each town in the coun.
ty sent its delegation and many 9TH

WILSON AWAITS
RIGHT TIME To
ENTER CAMPAIGN
President Will Take Part at
Psychological Moment
HIS POLICIES AT STAKE
Party Leaders Are In Doubt AS to
Effect Of White House
Utterances.

Washington Sept 23.-The sharp
difference OF opinion held by Demo
cratic leaders concerning the adyisa
billy OF having President Wilson take
an active part in the campaign for the
election or Coy Cox seems about TO be
resolved IN favor OF those who want
the President to try to have the sit
uation" by inaugurating series OF
Wilsonian statements III favor Of the
League Of Nations and in defence of
the Democratic platform.
Many astute Democratic politicians
who have stud ed the situation
throughout the country believe that
the chief handicap borne by Gov Cox
is his inheritance of the ant.-Wilson
sent nt.ment. These men have been
working quietly but persistently in
many ways 10 keep the President in
the background and silent on the
league and other issues OF the cam
paign. They have desired to give the
conscientious anti-Wilson Democrats
an opportunity to vote for Gov. Cox
without losing their self-respect
For time ii appeared that this coun
sci OF the cautious had prevailed, but
today there were strong hinls from
Administration quarters that the Pres
ident was merely awaiting the 'psy-
Geological moment" to get into ths
campaign with both feet 1t was
intimated that the Wilsonian state
nlents would soon begin and that the
President would enter the limelight
as the real Democratic leader in the
campaign.
The reason for the victory for the
pro-Wilscn groups seems to be that
the effect OF the Western trip OF Gov.
Cox, the lack of Democratic organi'
cation a., over the country and the
apathy Of the regular Democratic
workers have conspired to fr rghten
the Democratic National Committee
into q state of mind where it is will
ing to grasp at any straw in an effort
to win the Presidency. Gov Cox mas
been allowed the leadership without
much If any interference from the
White House since his first visit
there, soon after his nomination, when
he promised the President to stand
for the Wilson League and not 'break
the heart OF the word" by accepting
reservations. But somehow the Gov
ernor did not get away with it" as
one Democrat expressed it here to-
dag.
Therefore the time has nearly come
for the President to step in, Alter all,
this Democrat explained, it is the VIII
son policies that Gov. Cox il fighting
for, and 1t is upon them that he has
chosen to sink or swim; so what
more natural than that the President
should take the lead in the cam
paign?

Germany Faces An Immense Debt
Says Finance Minister.


Says Finance Minister.
Berlin Sept. 23.-Germany is drift
ing steadily In the direction of bank
, r1ptcy. ..,.
That conclusion, which has often
been expressed in the past week, is
strengthened if anything by the state
ment of Minister of Finance Wirth to
a cabinet meeting called to discuss
national finances.
His announcement that the nat onal
debt isc 24g 900, 600, 900 marks was not
a surprise to those in high financial
circles, but created something of Il
sensation with the general public.
In addition, the Claims Of German
citizens for indemnificatton of losses
due to the Versailles treaty, total 49,
0OO,000,OO0 marks. This includes
seventeen billion for the loss OF the
merchant marine, and ninety billion
for the liquidation in enemy countries.
Wirth Informed the cabinet that the
armies Of occupation, the reparations
commission and other inter-allied com.
mi 1sions have cost Germany a total OF
1i,50o.000 900 marks for the year.

EXPECTS DRIFT TO cox
But spargo Sees Harding Ahead Now
British Labor Cautious.


London, Sept. 21.--lf the Presiden
tal election took place tomorrow
Harding would be chosen, John Spar
90 declared to The New York Times
correspondent today, but as things are
he is inclined to bet on Cox, The
Democratic candidate, he believes, is
wearing better and is putting up a
mere aggressive and effective cam
paign.
Spargo, as result of talks with
many labor leaders in the few days he
has been here, is sceptical OF coal
strike occurring. He finds labor
circles respondent rather than desper
ate and in no mood TO take the re-
sponsibility Of great crisis. Then,
too, the trade unionists are divided,
many doubling the justice CT the min
ers' case and still more being appre-
hensiVe lest the entire cause OF trade
unionism to endangered in the eyes
OF the nation. Finally the women are
bitterly opposed to a strike and men
have frankly told Spargo that they
fear what their wives would say il
they went out.
Spargo has also found British labor
proving Geld toward Russia. Labor ap-
proves the allied declaration for non
recognition of the Soviet Government
and such revelations as Mrs. SNOW
den's about Russian and conditions
have given much food for thought
Finally. none CT the leaders, as far as
Spargo has observed, is disposed to
take the famous Council of Action"
