At one time. the journalist says,
Poincare was on the point of de-
manding Clemenceau's resignation
but the Tigers" immense popular
ity as The Father of Victory" made
him fear such a demand would be
repudiated by the French Parliament
and arouse a nation wide storm of
protest.
Wherefore" continues the Cri de
Paris article. the President came
to the conclusion that the only thing
left to do was for himself to resign.
He consulted NJ. Deschanel. who,
however, dissuaded him with the ar
Sument that Poincare's resignation
at that juncture would only encour-
age Germany and show a radical
weakness among the allies. So Poin-
care decided to serve out his term

WHAT IT MEANS

A vote next Tuesday for Brecken-
ridge Long for the Democratic nomi-
nation for United States Senator
means:
An Endorsement of the National
Democratic Administration, its un-
precedented array of constructive and
beneficent measures enacted into
laws, its successful conduct of our
participation in the world war, and
its efforts to establish League of
Nations covenant for the purpose of
preventing future wars and insuring
the permanent peace of the world.
An expression Of broad American
ism that is unawed and unafraid,
that can and will take care of itself
in any contingency that may arise in
any League of Nations to which it
may lend it's moral and financial sup
port for the peace and betterment of
the world and human liberty, and
that neither the President nor the
Senate has or can surrender under
any pact any authority of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which
confers in the Congress alone the au-
thority and power to declare war, ap-
propriate monies to carry it on, or
permit troops to be taken outside the
borders of the United States.
An Endorsement of honest, unpre-
JUDGED and faithful enforcement of
the Constitution of the United States
and the laws enacted Hereunder.
An Endorsement of the clear and
comprehensive platform adopted by
the National Democratic Convention
at San Francisco. Il y W
And the Endorsement of a man for
United States Senator whose practi-
cal experience has familiarized him
with our foreign and domestic af-
fairs, and who possesses the ability,
honesty and fearlessness to expend
his efforts and energies in the Senate
to carry out the principles enunciated
in the Democratic platform and to
work for the pest interests of all the
people all the time. i at.u,

The Statesman has no object ir
taking part in this controversy con-
corning the League of Nations ex-
cept to find and give the TRUTH OF
the case of it's readers. We cannot
see the good in believing a lie. We
can see less good in propagating lie
We cannot see why partisans should
cloud the truth and state falsehoods
even to defeat another party and gain
the offices.g But if they do so, we do
not see why the people, who have
the comforting of these offices by
their votes should desire to think and
act crookedly, and be SO biased and
blinded by partisanism as to rush in
and do something that will be regret
ted ever afterwards by them. All
who have read and who understand
the provisions of the League of Ma.
tions want it. Some try to put a
false Interpretation on it, and persist
in it because they hate Woodrow Will
son, as though he were the issue. Viii.
son will be remembered many long
years after his opposers are buried
from memory under the mountain OF
obliquy they are making for them
selves. If the people would stop and
reflect on the private and political
character of the men who are leading
the opposition to Wilson, they would
be for Wilson. as strong as horse.

| Using for his selection by the Demo-
Gratis as its candidate for that high of
fee on next Tuesday. Should he be
successful in that race, his election in
November would be assured, as he
would surely run well up with his
ticket, and the chances are that he
would run ahead owing to his unus-
ual qualifications for the duties of the
position of State Auditor, as we'll as
his great personal popularity.
Mr.. Mars many friends through
out the State feel that his nomina-
ton would not only mean his cleo
ton, but would also be source of
real strength to the entire ticket at
the general election. 1t is this feel

Dear County Superintendent
The purpose of this letter is to call
to your attention the candidacy of
Mr.. r. E. Lee Marrs for the nomina-
ton for State Auditor of Missouri,
subject to the Democratic primary,
Tuesday, August 3, 1920.
Mr.. Marrs is Secretary of the Mis-
souri, Senate. | think he is clean, ca
pable, conscientious, and we'll quail
fed for his candidacy so much be-
cause of his qualifications. | AM IN
TERESTED BECAUSE HE HAS
PROVED HIMSELF TO BE A
FRIEND OF THE COUNTY SU-
PERINTENDENTS OF THE STATE
OF MISSOURI.
The knowledge which he has gained
by being engrossing and chief clerk
of the House of Representatives,
made him very familiar with the de-
vious ways which bill must travel
in the Missouri Legislature before it
becomes a law.
AS Secretary of the Senate, he dis
charged every duty pertaining to the
bill passed by the last General As
sembly, increasing the salaries of the
County Superintendent fifty per cent, |
chcerfully, willingly and
well. Not only did he perform those
duties creditably, but on more occa-
sions than one, he gave counsel and
advice to those working for its pass
age and most valuable information as
to the course the bill must pursue, !
which was helpful to the animated no.
vice working for its passage.
A delay of thirty-six or forty-eight |
hours on his part would have pre-
vented the passage of the bill in time
for 1t to have become law during the |
present terms Of the County Superin-
tendehts.
AS a member of the State Board of |
man with such a love |
for the public schools can render them
help.
think we, the County Superintend-
ents of the State, owe Mr.. Marrs
iebt of gratitude which we can par
tally pay by helping nominate him
Tor State Auditor.
If you do not belong to the same
faith as he, can you speak
good word in favor of his candidacy
% your friends in his party?
Most sincerely,
