REPUBLICAN LEADER
STANDS FOR LEAGUE
QUITS REP. PARTY

George E. Morton, Milwaukee, a
prominent Wisconsin Republican, has
quit the G. o. p in order to support
the League OF Nations. Introducing
Governor James NJ. Cox at Milwaukee
recently, Mr.. Morton said:
American stands outside the beau
tiful building erected to peace, but
which we aspired during the war, un-
willing to take the front room and
hold up our heads to the world.
1--WE said while we were fighting
that we were going to erect an inter-
national building over there, a build
ing erected to peace; that we would
have a great world league that some
time would try to stop war. The ma
tions got together, called in their ar
chitects, and planned it. They erect
ed a beautiful building and reserved
the front room for the United States.
For that reason I am for the men
who come out bodily and plainly to
say, 1--WE stand for a League of Ma
tions. We want this League and we
want it now"
Tells Why He Left G. 0. p.
Explaining the reason for his ap-
pearance at Democratic meeting,
Mr.. Morton said
"You all know what l have been in
the past politically. | will try to say
in a few words why | am here l am
here because two years ago, when we
were in the midst of the most terri
Bile war of history, | said to myself
and to others: If the League of Ma
tions question is not settled before
the next campaign, that question: is
going to settle my politics.
When | was a young man l used
to be able to turn back somersault
physically. | never tried it mentally.
And ! made up my mind, when the
Republican party came forward with
the platform and the candidate it did,
that | would not attempt any such a
feat as a back somersault on that
question. That is why l am here.
Believes I'm League.
Il believe in a League of Nations,
not some indefinite relationship in the
future that Mr.. Harding and no one
else seems able to define. I am for
the League of Nations that we have
presented to us; that is possible and
not some imaginary thing that he
neither seems to be able nor to want
to define. The League covenant is an
English document, written in English
can read it and l know it.
When | get on the political train
this fall l don't propose to get into
company l don't like to ride with and
don't want to get on with men who
are not for the things that we were
fighting for

CROP REPORT SAYS
GOODNESS is HINDRANCE

Last weeks crop report reads as
follows: Beneficial showers have
occurred in some eslocalities, but rain
is still needed over large part of the
state for late potatoes, corn, pastures,
meadows, truck and tobacco. The
nights have been too cool for satisfac-
tory growth. The threshing of small
grains has progressed slowly in most
localities, but the yields have been
satisfactory. The filling of silos and
the harvesting of tobacco are in full
swing and the digging of late pota-
toes has begun. The ground is too
dry for fall plowing in most sections.
Sugar beets are doing we'll A good
crop of plums and early apples is
ripening."
