The Democratic Chairman of
the woman vote of Adair county
has got something to do. The
vote must be gotten out, and it
will not do to wait longer in per-
fecting an organization. A DEM
ocrat farmer said to US, Thurs
day, 81 am afraid of the suffrage
vote. In my neighborhood every
white Republican woman and ev-
cry negro woman say they are
sure to vote. The Democratic
women say they will not go to
the polls" Can you not see that
much work is to be accomplished
before the election ? If we hold
our own in Adair county some
effective work must be done and
done quickly. Time flies. A
personal canvass of the men and
women vote must be made. No
use to send circulars. Go out
and talk, and talk with empha-
sis, and good results will follow.

], Why should the Republican
leaders pretend to be shocked by
Gov. Cox's charge that they are
raising an enormous campaign
to buy the Presidency? They
were not shocked when Senator
Newberry was convicted and
sentenced to- ten years in the
pepitentiary on the charge OF
spending a fortune in his cam
paign; they never asked him to
resign from nor threw him out
Of the Senate. They were not
shocked at the millions spent in
the primary campaigns of Cen
eHal Wood aud Governor Lowden
but this latter was a moral and
not a legal offense. Only when
the offense charged might come
within the province Of the GRIM
inal courts do they seem to dis
play a pretense of resentment.
What has become of the claim
that the G. o. P. is ''the party

not the dictum of one spokes-
man."
This utterance adds much to
the clarity of the public's views
as to Senator Harding's posi-
ton. The Senator has tried
very hard to make this position
clear. ..-...
He has told the public very
plainly, time and again that he
is for and against the Covenant;
that he is for and against the
tribunal of The Hague; that he
is for and against separate
peace. In short the public
should understand that the Sen
ator is forlorn and up against it.
But if anyone supposes that
there is disagreement among the
Republicans in reference to the
League, let him consider this
concise statement by the Repub-
lican nominee: I'VE are all
agreed now that amendment, or
revision or reconstruction IS pos
sible and vastly better than res
ervations."
Actually the statement does
not exactly commit the Senator.
He merely says that certain
changes are possible and that
they would be better than reser-
vations. Presumably he is for
and against reservations.
