TO THE DEMOCRATS
Of the SOUTH,

The success of the Democratic
ticketin the November election will
depend largely on the amount Of
money subscribed by Southern DEM
ocrats to the National Campaign
Fund.
Let me appeal to every Democrat
in the South to make contribution
to this fnnd, which will be used in
the words of Governor James M.
Cox, ITO fight an honest battle.
All money contributed will be used
for legitimate. purposes in presenting
democratic policies to the voters in
doubtful States.
The South owes it's Industrial and
economical freedom to the Federal
Reserve Bank. In the event of Re-
publican success every effort will no
doubt be made to wreck the efficien-
.cy OF this great institution.
Let me appeal just as strongly as
possible to every man and every
women In the Democratic party in
the Southern States to get actively
behind the movement to collect
funds for the fight. Joe Sparks
Assistant Treasurer, Democratic
National Committee.

Americans Stand Firmly Behind Senators
BY JOHN 'sNuRE.

Senate is in favor OF a strong reserva-
ton to Article 10 to hold us aloof from
the obligations to entane,e ourselves
with the duarrels of Europe and Asia
and. not only that. but that the Senate
feels It Is supported by the American
people. The trend OF the letters and
newspaper comments which Senator's
are receiving has long made 1t plan that
the country does not want TO saddle
itself with Article 10 unchanged.
The President has in effect declared
his purpose TO carry into the campaign
the peace treaty issue. This means
that. If he carries out his purpose, he
will urge the country to endorse Arti-
Gle 10 and the position he has taken
with respect to IL. 10 means that he
Will ask The country in effect not TO al
low It to be written down in black and
white in the treaty that American
troops and ships shall not be sent to
fight abroad unless Congress first says
they shall be sent.
The President may so to the coun-
try on this question, but it is begin
ming now TO be realized here that If he
does he will be going to the country
on an issue that has been settled. The
Senate has refused to enter into the un-
restricted obligations of Article 10 and
public feeling is growing less and less
in favor Of this country becoming en-
tangled in those obligations. IL there
Is a test vote on the matter next No
vember, as the President seems to want,
Article 10 in the form he desires it will
be left stranded higher even than 1t is
now.
There are unmlstakable signs and
symptoms that the country day by day
is getting more and more away from the
idea Of tying itself up to any obligatians
to underwrite the may of Europe. One
plain reason for this is the constantly
Increasing indication that Europe,
seething with unrest and turmoil, is
getting ready for new wars instead of
preparing for the reign Of peace. The
American people perceive this and
their common sense tells them to hold
aloOf.
II is not without reason that William
Jennings Bryan tells his party 1t would
be Suicidal to go before the country
on the issue of Article 10 unchanged
advocating the underlying idea OF that
article. Mr.. Bryan, whatever else may
be said OF him, has had plenty OF op-
portunity TO find out where the public
stands when it is proposed to send
American troops and warships to fight
in Europe without the express authority
Of Congress given in advance.
It is a safe prediction that the Ameri-
can people will get farther and farther
away from Article 10 as time goes on.
A few years hence, there will be won
derment that IL was ever seriously con-
templated to take over the obligations
and the time will come and that in the
not distant future when it will be gen
orally recognized that the Senate per-
formed a great and almost unpre-
cedented service to America in shielding
the nation from the inroads Article 10
would have made upon American SOW
creignty.

WASHINGTON, March 3i.--Although
some degree OF uncertainty still OBJ
tains as to what VIII happen to the
peace treaty involving the league cove
nant, II has at last become entirely
plain that this country is not going to
take upon itself the vast obligmations
Of Article 10 to protect The boundary
lines and political independence OF
other nations at the instance Of the
league government.
This much Is fully assured as the re-
suit OF the long and bitter contro-
vcrsy in the Senate and the long and
bitter controversy throughout the
country. Nothing which-will happen to
the treaty at the eleventh hour or the
last minute or later on will change this
highly important fact.
In the long months through which
the treaty Has been debated in the Sem
ate and discussed in the country II has
been dlflcult at times TO see what
would come OF IL all. Many have been
impatient over the delay and have said
So Criticism of the Senate for not
acting quickly has been superabundant.
But a great change has come over
things, has come over the country,
since the treaty was first sent to the
Senate by the President, and IL was
made known that he desired and eX-
pected its ratification without the
crossing Of a "t" or the dotting Of an
81" At that time. il was freely pre-
dicted in administrative quarters that
the Senate would be driven 10 the early
ratification Of the treaty in the form
the President wanted IT, In fact, this
was considered so well settled in admin
istratlon Circles that there was much
talk about who would I'LL this place
and that for the United States under the
league arrangement, and there was a
small army of aspirants for such places
The idea that the Senate backed by the
preponderant sentiment of America
might revolt and might refuse to accept
the plan OF Mr.. Wilson to underwrite
the obligations Of Article 10 was
laughed at
Now, what is the situation? Not
only is there TO be at this time no
ratification Of Article 10 with It's extra
ordinary obligation in the form Mr..
Wilson has insisted it be ratified, but
it is as certain as anything can be in
legislative, political and diplomatic af-
fairs that II never will be ratified in
that form. As the Senate has gone
ahead discussing the nearing and i'm
port Of Article 10 along with other
parts Of the treaty, public feeling
against that article has gradually mus
tered in increasing force.
The best evidence on this point Is
the vote in the Senate to adopt an
Americanized reservation TO Article TO-
This vote was Sc to 26 in favor OF the
reservation or more th9n two to one.
A large body Of Democratlc- SENATORS,
much larger than last fall, lined up for
the reservation and this In the face OF
the declaration Of the President that IL
was unacceptable to him.
The meaning OF this simply is tnat
the overwhelming sentiment or the
