SEE DEMOCRATIC
SCHEME AT WORK

Hundreds Of Republicans in the
Seventh Ward. which is part Of the
Third Representative district. today
received through the mail marked
ballats Of the Second Representative
district. The Republican committee
today lsaid 10 had nothing 10 do with
sending out those ballots, and il was
presumed they were sent out from
Democratic sources.
Republicans Of the Seventh Ward
who received the Second representa-
tive District ballots should not use
them, as The casting OF the Second
Representative District ballots in tbe
Third Representative will mean the
throwing out and not counting Of that
ballot. AS the Third Representative
district is heavily Republican, the use
Of the Second district ballots there
would be a great benefit to the Demo-
Gratis and would account for such
Democratic trickery in the latter
pariys so-called "clean elections
campaign.

LEAGUE COVENANT PROVIDES PLANS FOR
FUTURE WARS

OF more Of the parties to the dispute, the
members Of the League agree that they will
not go to war with any party to the dispute
which complies with the recommendation
of the report"
But any member of the League may go
to war with any party which does not
comply with these recommendations.
Article XVI. says: "Should any members of
the League resort to war in disregard of its
covenants under Articles IL, 13 or is, 1t
shall ipso facto be deemed to have COM
mitted an act of war against all other MEM
hers of the League II shall be
the duty Of the Council in such case to recon-
mend to the several governments con-
oerned what effective military, naval or air
force the members Of the League shall
severally contribute to the armed forces to
be used to protect the covenants of the
League"
This speaks for itself. The mobiliza-
ton and employment Of such military
forces is in itself war. In other words,
the League would go to war to punish
unruly members.
Again, Article XVII says; "If State so
invited shall refuse to accept the obligations
of membership in the League for the pur
poses of such disputes, and shall resort &c
war against a member Of the League, the
provisions of Article 16 shall be applicable
as against the State taking such action"
That is, the League will go to war t'
punish a member of the League whicl
refuses to abide by the Leagues de
cision.
