Noted Iowa Speaker Given Splendid
Audience at Court House
Tuesday Night

Col. VIM. p. Chantland, a promi-
nent attorney of FIT. Dodge, address,
ed the voters of Audubon at the court
house Tuesday evening. A large and
enthusiastic audience greeted the
speaker, and to the credit of the wo-
men, they were we'll represented in
numbers.
Col Chantland is a forceful speak
er and put most of his emphasis on
the league of nations. He dwelt
largely on Article X and gave a most
satisfactory and comprehensive ex-
PLANTATION of the provisions of that
article, which President Wilson re-
fers to as the very heart" of the
peace treaty.
The speaker repeated the assertion
made in the papers not long ago that
voting for Cox in November and En-
listing in December" brought forth
prolonged applause. Evidently the
speakers disapproval of the league
of nations found a hearty response
in his audience.
After disposing of the national
issue, he took Up the matter of the
support of Senator A. B. Cummins.
He spoke very highly of the construc-
tive legislation sponsored by Iowa's
senior senator and asked that all
voters give him the support he so
richly deserves.
Col. Chantland spoke in the after
noon at Brayton and Extra and re-
manned in the city until yesterday
afternoon when he went to Kimball-
ton where he spoke and also at Elk
Horn with a night meeting at Irwin.

FARMERS MUST HAVE HELP
Iowan i'm Washington Asks Help of
Bankers TO Aid the Farmers

Vice President Marshall and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Meredith were
on the program for addresses in
Washington Tuesday at the first gen.
eral session of the annual convention
of the American Bankers associa-
ton, the vice president for an address
of welcome and Mr.. Meredith for a
discussion of banking and agricul-
ture."
Shrinkage in the value of farm
products so far this season will re-
suit in American farmers receiving
$4,000, 100000 less than they would
have secured on the 1919 price basis,
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
said in his address.
He classed the resulting situation
as one which demands the best
thought and sympathetic considera-
tion of the bankers of America, and,
in fact, of all the people of the
country"
Mr.. Meredith estimated that the
fall in corn prices had involved
81, 900, 100000 loss to producers
1.-The American people must see to
/ 1t that farmers secure credit suffi-
cient fol- their needs" Mr.. Meredith
! continued "only thus can they con-
tinue to supply the nations need for
food. l think you gentlemen fully
realize that if the farmer is to con-
tinue to produce and to meet the food
requirements of the nation, he must
have adequate prices for his products.
The farmer is not the only one who
would be adversely affected il he fails
to secure a reasonable return for his
efforts. / do not think you can fail
to see that the farmers problems are
your problems, and that your ulti-
mate prosperity depends upon a right
solution of the difficulties confront
ing the farmer"
The marketing problem, Mr.. Mere
dith said, is the greatest one facing
the agricultural interests. He urged
that bankers assist cooperative
farmers enterprises, and acknowl-
edged that bankers already had given
Every great aid" to agriculture.
Secretary Meredith departed from
his prepared address to denounce
what he described as the free seed
gag" He said the practice had prac-
tically only one reason for its exist
ence, custom and that sit never got
one vote for anybody" who had sent
out the seed to the farmers.
The secretary also announced that
he would ask congress for an addi-
tional appropriation of S10,0O0,000
over the previous estimate in order
to increase the salaries of technical
employees of the department of agri-
culture.

Po. s IN STATE
Is WARMING UP
Speakers Representing Both Parties
Hard at Work to Make Voters
Understand Issues at Stake

Whether anything else has been
accomplished by the political cam
paign in recent weeks or not, 1t is
apparent that General Apathy has
been routed.
There is now plenty of evidence in
every community that interest in
the campaign Is keen, which above all
else, forecasts a heavy vote. An
aroused interest in public affairs is
also recognized as healthful sign in
popular government
The democrats continue to ham
mer away on the league of nations
issue. Speakers for the national
ticket in Iowa talk practically moth
ing but the league of nations and
those announced for this week, are
here to discuss this subject. Deflec-
tions from the republican ticket to
the democratic thus far heard from
are on this issue alone.
News from Indiana, where Senator
Harding has been campaigning,
shows that this is a big issue in that
state. Dispatches from there, quote
Harding as pointing out that If Cox
should be elected, there would be an
other deadlock in congress just as
there was during the last session and
the country would get no where on
this question.
I'VE may as well be utterly frank, u
Senator Harding said in his Indian
apolis speech"and say that a demo-
cratic president, even If he were
elected, would not be able to bind
the American people nor mortgage
under Article X, for the simple rea-
son that he could not summon suf-
ficient votes in congress to support
his program. His attempt would re-
suit in another stalemate, an unwill-
ing America would find herself just
where she has been ever since the
bungled negotiations at Paris.
1.-The covenant as negotiated and
insisted upon by the president and
accepted, approved and defended by
the democratic candidate, is impos-
sible and we will not have it, The
extreme menace in it is now iecog-
nized in Europe and denounced by
the leading advocates of world
peace in America. When we have
completed the solemn referendum, we
shall continue to harmonic Ameri-
can sentiment and unite America so
that we may all support becoming
program"

ROOT EXPLAINS ARTICLE X
Declares Signing League Of Nations
Would Forever Bind the
United States

Elihu Root in his only address on
the league of nations during the pres
idential campaign in New York Tues
day night declared that the treaty of
peace with Germany would have been
ratified and America would have been
a member of the league-if President
Wilson had been willing"
"Mr. Wilson, however, was not
willing. He insisted upon the treaty
absolutely unchanged" Mr.. Root
said, adding later on in his speech:
81 do not question Mr.. Wilson's
belief that the disposition of the
treaty for which he was contending
on May 81, 1919, were just and fair;
but, without disrespect, l do ques-
ton Mr.. Wilson's infallibility, l do
question the complete control of alb
stract justice in the processes by
which the four men who dictated
those treaties, which undertook to
make over eastern Europe, reached
their conclusions.
ct have an impression that there
was the accommodation of conflicting
interests, the giving of something
here to get something there, the
yield of some things in order to avoid
losing others, the shading of justice
by expediency which has character
lied such conferences since history
began. l have a strong impression
that some of their conclusions were
mistakes.
81 think it most Objectionable
that the American people shall enter
into a solemn and positive agree
ment to guarantee and maintain by
force of arms for all time the DISPOSE
lions of territory and sovereignty
which these four men made in the
year 1913:
"That is a part of what article 10
undertakes to do 1t is an alliance
to enforce perpetually, through the
operations of the league the decisions
of Mr.. Wilson and his associates in
the year 1919. 1t is a throw-back
to the old discredited alliances of the
past. 1t speaks a language of power
and not the spirit of progress. 1t is
an attempt to do what the Holy ALI
ance sought 100 years ago with just
as noble expression of purpose)-to
impose by force the judgment OF
the rulers of the present generation
upon all future generations"
Mr.. Root declared that I'VE shall
promote the peace of the world" by
electing Senator Harding, Republican
candidate for President, whose stand
on the league, he said, was unchang-
ed from the time he voted for ratifica-
ton Of the peace treaty and league of
nations with the Senate reservations.
The election of Governor Cox, Demo-
cratic presidential nominee, he said,
meant the effort to have the United
States join the league of nations
without change, as it was brought
back from Europe by President Will
son.

L asst JURY CASE
COMES FRIDAY
MANY IMPORTANT CASES ARE
DISPOSED OF BY AUDUBON
COUNTY DISTRICT COURT

The Audubon County District court
has been in session a little more than
ten days and has already disposed
of many cases. The last jury case to
be tried at this term will be that OF
the State of Iowa VS. A. G. Brenneck,
and this will begin tomorrow. On
the completion of the case the peuI
jurors will be discharged and the at
tention of the court will be directed
to the equity division.
Last week as we went to press the
case of John Martinsen VS. Earl HoI-
lenbeek and III. w. Kitson was being
tried. This was a case where Mr..
Martinsen was suing on a note given
as a difference between two automo-
biles, trade having been made. Mr..
Hollenbeck filed a counter claim
The case took several days and finally
went to the jury which brought in
verdict for the defendants.
In the case of Clark Arnold VS. M.
d. Graves the jury awarded Arnold
verdict of 81. This case was the re-
suit of an automobile collision and
damages to the car.
Yesterday and today the case of
Chris Jensen VS. Frank Duvall has
claimed the attention of the court.
This case is the outgrowth of labor
disputes. The witnesses were all ex-
amined this morning and shortly
after dinner the attorneys began
their arguments.
The next case on the docket is the
State of Iowa VS. A. G. Brenneck.
This will be the last jury case. The
court will then hear cases in equity.
The Grand Jury finished its work
on Thursday of last week, having
found three indictments. One was
party in Extra for betting and the
other two were bootlegging cases.
The former plead guilty and was
fined $50. The latter two plead not
| guilty and will stand trial.

HARDING MAKES A
DEFINITE STATEMENT
SAYS HE FAVORS ARRANGEMENT
WHEREBY THERE SHALL BE
AN END TO ALL WARS

Pronouncing the old order of
world affairs at an end, Senator
Harding reaffirmed in a statement
at Marion, Ohio, Monday his belief
that America must play its part in
aiding the formation of an associa-
ton of nations that will discourage
or tend to prevent war and that will
encourage a better understanding"
Such an association, he said could
be formed without sacrifice of Amer
lean sovereignty or impairment of
the American constitution. He de-
clared it his purpose to bring into
counsel on the subject the ablest
American citizenship, including the
women of the nation.
Explaining why he restated his
proposal in a formal statement, the
senator said that while he was "un-
alterably opposed to going into the
league as that particular proposition
now stands" he wanted the Amer
lean people to understand also my
thought of cooperation"
The text of the senator's state
ment on the league issue follows:
1T seems to me there should not
remain a shadow of doubt as to
my exact position as regards the
proposed league of nations as draft
ed at Paris and submitted to the
senate and as regards the great
world sentiment for a better under
standing among nations to discourage
war and generally to advance civil
lization. Let me restate my position
as explicitly as my power of words
permits:
Says Name Unimportant
First: l am unalterably opposed
to going into the league of nations
as that particular proposition now
stands. That proposal is contemptu-
Gus of and potentially destructive of
the American constitution. 1t is not
favored by the American people.
Second: / am in favor of a world
association-call ii what you will,
the name is of slight consequence
that will discourage or tend to pre-
vent war or that will encourage or
tend to encourage a better under
standing among nations of the earth.
The old order of things is done with
not only in America, but throughout
the world, and the United States, al
ways quick with sympathy, always
must play its part in this new order.
Third: 1 believe that such an
association can be formulated with
out wrecking the constitution that
remains the cornerstone of our lib
critics and of our happiness; with
out Selling or filching the sovereign
ty that is our pride and our inspira-
tion to fine living and good works.
Fourth: l can earnestly believe
that the conscience, the ready SYM
pathy, the sense of justice and the
plain common sense of the United
States can be depended upon by the
rest of the world, and that 1t would
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-10-21

be stupid as well as unlawful to at
tempt to chain our sympathies, our
sense of justice and our common
sense, to tie these strong, fine de-
pendable American qualities to the
possible selfish ambitions and aims
of foreign nations or group of ma
tions whose ideals are not the same
as ours, never have been and never
will be.
