HARDING REJECTS
 LEAGUE
At Des Moines He Says He Will Have Nothing To Do With Present Covenant But Will Consult With Ameri- cans After Election in An Association For Peace.

Enroute with Senator Harding, Des Moines, la, Oct 7-Senator War ren G. Harding opened his five day invasion of the Middle West here to- day with a, broadside attack upon the Wilson League of Nations, and a promise that as soon possible after election he will consult with the "besr minds of the country and especially With the United States Senate, toward the formation of association of na- tons designed to promote interna- tional peace.
 Speaking for the first time since President Wilson's recent appeal in the Leagues behalf. Senator Harding asserted that the League already has been "scrapped" by the hand of it's own chief architect.
 An audience of nearly 10000 per- sons who crowded the coliseum here heard the Senator's assault upon the League and a sternly uttered warning which accompanied it.
 ''To those,'' he said, "who desire to incur the hazard of entrusting any of recuon of a super government or to a council for foreign powers, I frankly say:
 Vote the Democratic ticket and pray God to protect you from the consequences of your folly"
 "Interpretative" or Clarifying reservations, designed to make more specific Americas obligations under the league are not sufficient safe guards for American independence, Senator Harding declared. These ob- ligations, he said, are already specific enough.
 T want to turn my back on them,'' he asserted. .tIt is not the interpre- tation, but rejection. that I am seek ing"
 Charges that his own position on the league is uncertain, Senator Hard ing ascribed to Democratic attempts to "befog the isssue.''
 ''I do not want any one to be mis- led," he said. "I will have no mans vote on a misunderstanding and I am equally determined. if I can prevent it, that my opponent will have no mans vote on a misunderstanding My position is that the proposed league strikes a deadly blow at our constitutional integrity and surrenders to a dangerous extent our independ- ence of action. The Democratic plat form and candidate rejects this posi- ton as utterly vain if not vicious 'The issue, therefore. is clear. In simple words it is that he favors going into the Paris league and I Nm in favor of staying out.''

SAY VOTERS
 ARE BARRED
 FROM LIST
Claim That Registration Of. fee Should Have Been
 > Opened Till Six.

Fifty and perhaps a hundred men and women who were entitled to reg ister- were deprived of their right by the stubbornness of a public official who refused to abide by the law or take legal advice,' was the comment of a prominent Republican on the ac- ton of Republican General Registrar William Lounsbury, who on Tuesday afternoon closed the doors of the~reg- istrars' office at 5 o'clock and refused to allow those who were waiting to enter and register.
 There were about 1 5 waiting at , o'clock and the first man in the line went in and was informed that it was one minute after and therefore he was too late.
 The law passed at the special ses- sion of the Legislature explicitly says that the registrars should receive applications until , o'clock, Standard time, which means 6 o'clock, daylight saving time.
 Attorney Samuel c. Shaw saw Lounsbury in reference to the matter early Tuesday and discussed the clos ing hour with him.
 Lounsbury contended that he should close at o'clock daylight saving time and Attorney Shaw re- quested him to get an opinionS from the City Attorney Comley but Louns- bury answered that he wanted no 1e- gal opinion he was going to close al
 Attorney Shaw then saw Judge Com1ey, City, Attorney of the city. Judge Comley said that there was nc question but that the office should keep open until o'clock daylight saving time. but when he tried to gel Lounsbury on the phone he could get no one to answer.
 Some of those who were refused the right to vote are contemplating legal action against Lounsbury fo1 illegally depriving them of their legal rights to register, it is said.
 A number of Republicans relied or the printed card which was sent broadcast throughout the state to wo- men, in which it was stated that they had until 6 o'clock, Tuesday after noon in which to register.

 With but two or three exceptions the questions propounded were by listeners who simply desired elucida- tion on points doubtrul in their understandings A well-known social ist agitator undertook to heck1e the secretary with a string of questions but before he had completed his first question he displayed such a woeful ignorance of what he was trying to be annoying about that had it not been for the prompt intervention on two occasions by the secretary, the audience would undoubtedly have roughly escorted him from the hall As it was he was eventually hooted down.
 Secretary Baker in his speech paid a very complimentary tribute to Rol- lin U. Tyler and Lieut. Devine and other Democratic candidates who were on the platform with him. Continued on Page 2.l

Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, Oct. L. Five hundred fans were in line for worlds series game today hours be- fore the gates opened. Hot dogs" vendors did a rushing business as did others selling pork chops.
 As result of the first two games many of the best little baseball ex- perts will not be surprised now to see the series drawn out-perhaps to the full limit of nine games.
 We'll Matched.
 The teams are well matched They are both fighting aggregations ana there is plenty of hitting ability on both sides. As for pitching-the Dodgers have slight advantage. But it is not great enough to count pitchers successfully in the coming games.
 The contest today in all probabilities will be battle between left-handed pitchers, Sherrod Smith against Wal ter Mails. The latter joined the Cleye- land club late in August, and by win ming six games in a row lifted big burden off the shoulders off Bagby and Coveleskie in the final dash for the flag.
 Speaker has made the Brooklyn players bat against right-hand pitching in the two games played. With the teams travelling tomorrow it will enable Coveleskie a three days AS9I' "hiCh SlIoulu put nlIll III ITSI class condition to pitch Saturday.
 Sherrod Smith, the big left handler, was generally considered to be Man ager Robinsons choice. He warmed up with Grimes yesterday and it was not until just before the game started that Grimes was finally selected.
 If Smith should prove ineffective, Manager Robinson can switch to right hand pitching, using either Mamaux or Galore. both of whom did well in the last three innings of the opening game.
