, The text of the appeal follows:
The League of Nations is a "going
concern" with over 225 officials and
clerks employed in its secretariat. 1t
is administering the Saar Valley and
the City of Danzig, conducting a pub
lie health campaign to shield the
world from typhus and other diseases,
and for the elimination of the opium
| trade and the traffic in women and
, children (thus following out the worR
l begun July rs, 1902, at the Paris con-
, ference on that subject and approved
=, by President Roosevelt by proclama-
ton June Is, 190S.) 1t is helping the
, | Red Cross to bind up the wounds left
| by the war to reduce the appalling
\ deaths from undertaking and lack OF
medical care. 1t has established an
; | international labor bureau, and is al
ready settling international disputes
1t has developed plans, in which
Elihu Root participated, to organize
an International court of justice
l Treaties are being registered and pub
lished, thus marking the end forever
Of secret treaties. 1t is acting as
| clearing house for information so thai
, secret preparations for a predatory
< war will be difficult, if not impossible
The cost of living will be helped
when the world is really again a
: peace. The producer can scarcely
u hope to have stable prices for hi!
, goods as long as there is chaos il
international affairs.
9 The League of Nations Furnishes
, the only hope of early disarmament
J. and the saving TO the taxpayer of the
\ increasing billions which armament!
cost.
1 Without strong League of Nations
another world-war is inevitable.
If the Republicans win overwhelm
t. | ingly the League of Nations may be
come a dead issue. Such a victor.
|, may be taken to mean the triumphs
n. not of Taft. WickerSham, Hughes ant
> | Hoover, but of Lodge, johnson, Boral
0 ! and Brandegee, who are pledged t.
scrap" the league. Every vote, TO
Z Cox, therefore, helps the league, who
p ever is elected. Remember, it is tn
Taft-Hughes-R oot-Wilson league tina
you are asked to support.
Do we want a. separate peace witt
) Germany, enabling her to esca p
making just restitution to our asso
ciateS in the war, who are now al
most bankrupt from the costly effor
which saved US much as it save
them?
Will America go down in hister
linked with heroic Belgium, VIII
stood by her Allies to the end, or wi
IF she do as Harding advises, "scuttle
and lose her honor among nations?
o Ask In Humanity's Name.
, We ask you in the name of hu
y mainly, in the name of your. devotio
t. to fathers, husbands. sons, who's
presene and future welfare is at stalk,
IL to keep faith with chose who slee
9 in Flanders Fields" and made tn
% supreme sacrifice to abolish war, t
t. help establish permanent peace.
This is woman's opportunity, o
'e her first presidential vote under tn
I | Nineteenth Amendment, to sho-
what women's suffrage means and t
