LEAGUE DEBATE

The question of the entry of the
United States into the League of Ma
tions was debated before large audi
ence at the courthouse last Sunday aft
ernoon by John j. Healy of this city
and j. Il. eastman, residing in Kewau-
nee county. Standing room of the cir
cult court room was occupied to the
four walls and hundreds listened from
the rotunda outside. A. j. WySeman
presided.
Each side had an hour and a quar-
ter Mr.. eastman is a fluent speaker
with a ready wit that captured the
crowd, most of whom were his parti-
sans at the start. His popularity per-
ceptibly lessened when he advocated
the election of Thompson near his
close.
Mr.. Cashman's entire argument was
hung on the theory that the league is
an English league, craftily devised by
England to make Uncle Sam guaran-
tee England's possession of her war
loot.
The point upon which he asserted he
won the debate was that in matters
wherein this country is interested we
shall have no vote, in either the cOun-
oil or +ha oecar,bl,r
Mr.. Healy made fine presentation
of the league side. He claimed that it
was an American plan, that Wilson'S
fourteen points are all in the covenant; /;
that it will prevent wars; that Eng
lands alleged six vote is mere dust
throwing. He covered the field well
for his limited time, and while not so
spectacular and not receiving as much
applause as his opponent he made a
much better appeal to logic, reason
and the real merits of the question In
fact he presented a conclusive and un-
answerable argument in favor of the
league.
Mr.. Cashman'S argument was seri-
ously marred by constant exhibitions
of bitter and unreasoning hatred of
everything British He had his subject
well in hand and made the best of ev-
cry opportunity, his eloquent periods
applauded to the echo. He was re-
buked by the chair twice, once for ap-
pealing over the chairman's head to
the audience for unlimited time con-
trary to his agreement and once for
taking rap at Lenroot.
The question had to be stated mega
lively so as to give Mr. eastman the
opening and closing, he having refused
to debate unless he could open and
close.

HARDWARE STORE BURGLARIzED

Burglars entered the Stangel hard
ware store last Friday night and gath
cred up loot estimated to amount to
over $1,000. Saturday morning a cas-
ual glance showed that the place had
been ransacked The show cases were
in disorder and large quantities of the
smaller and more valuable merchan-
disc was gone. Goods, such as valu-
able knives, razors, pistols, had been
packed up.
Entry had evidently been made
through rear door which had care
lessly been left unlocked. The work
inside progressed in full view of any
one looking through the door way, all
though view through the plate glass
front was shut off. 1t was a daring
job. There is no clue.

H. S. FOOTBALL

Oconto High School Football team
beat the local highs last Saturday, 2s
to 0.
The local team was sadly handi-
capped owing to the absence of Schuet-
tie, star tackle, and of Randolph who
got in only near the end of the game.
The Manitowoc boys claimed that the
victory was won by Oconto by "shoe-
string plays, a ruse whereby a player
is concealed in the crowd and which
play has been held to be illegal. This
is the first defeat for the local team.
Next Saturday Sheboygan comes
here for a game. The Chair city boys
have a strong aggregation and the
Manitowoc team has its work cut out
for it.

REPUBLICANS SWEEP COUNTRY

The Democrats were buried Tuesday

and Coolidge were swept into the pres
idency and vice-presidency by the big
gest popular majority in the history of
American politics. They have appar-
emily carried every state except the
"solid south"
The entire republican ticket swept
into power in Wisconsin with big plu-
ralties, in the wake of Hardings over
whelming victory, according to the lat
est returns.
With incomplete returns, Senator
Irvine l.. Lenroot has lead of 4l,OOO
over James Thompson, Independent,
with Prof. Paul S. Reinsch, democrat,
a poor third, and Frank Weber, social
list, fourth.
John j. Blaine has piled up lead of
$4,000 over Col. Robert b. Mccoy in
the governship contest.

secretary of state; Henry Johnson,
Madison, state treasurer, and William

Much territory favorable to Lenroot
is to he heard from, so the senator
should incmrease his present lead
Both Thompson and Mccoy put up
a merry chase in the first returns Tues
day night, but once Lenroot and Blaine
hit their pace they pulled away fast.
Every Republican for congress in
the state was elected. Lampert in this
district won over Fox by over 10000.
The entire Republican county ticket
was elected by pluralties running from
1900 to about $500. The Democrats
saved nothing out of the wreck. Below
will be found a tabulated result of cleo
ton for state and county officers.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

in the new city hall on Franklin street,
lately the Victoria hotel, was held
Monday evening.
! A bill of the utility department
against the city for hydrant rental was
sent back for the fourth time because
of an error in computation. The bill
is for $S,429.l9 The mayor expressed
the desire to have an expert account
ant go over the utility books before his
term of Office expires. The state audit
orS who were here recently did not ex-
anime the utility accounts, that being
outside their work
The city clerk said that the state
auditors in their report on their work
here, to be filed, will recommend that
the city employ an expert accountant
by the year. The mayor seemed to APP
prove of this and incidentally remark
ed that one of the school departments
had taken to itself the power of dis
bursting public funds without the
mayors signature.
An old story appeared when a pro-
test os Ed Endriese to be forced pre-
paving installation of lateral pipes to
his triangular tract at Western avenue
andn Wollmer street was up. He said
that future buildings could be served
from the other street, but the council
refused to make any concessions to the
special condition there.
Election officers will get SO per day
for service and the chairman an addi-
tional half dollar
The council approved the proposal of
Judge Chloupek that Manitowoc and
Two Rivers cities join in the employ
ment of woman parOl officer. Each
city will have a member of the advis-
ory board and after considerable bal
loting and tie votees Thompson was
chosen over O'Donnell as Manitowocs
member. A salary, not to exceed S2,-
900, to be apportioned between the
cities according to population was ap-
proved.
The ordinance providing for annexa-
ton to the city of territory west of
the fair grounds to the Northwestern
tracks and north of the fair grounds
to the Plank road east OF the tracks,
including Elmhurst was held up and
action deferred. The aldermen began
to. consider the cost of installing water
mains, sewers and lighting and decided
little more looking into on this would
do no harm.
A request of the telephone company
that it be permitted to use city electric
poles in Stringing cables to Riverview
was granted. The company will pur-
chase half interest in the poles. Man
ager Shea of the company told the
council that this plan worked out well
in other cities in the state.
John Peppard, building Inspector, re-
ported granting 20 building permits
during October for work estimated to
cost SS5,7S0. Total fees of S2524s
were collected during the month.
The city attorney had on file the new
contract which it is proposed to enter
into with c. Gushing Smith, Chicago
landscape artist, for the improvement
of Lincoln park.
The council authorized a stand pipe
at the new West Side park for the pur-
pose of flooding the ice rink and for
park water
