LEAGUE OF NATIONS
is NOW Seen AS
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Backers of Senator Harding Confident
COx-WilsOn Stand VIII Drive
Wedge Through Democratic
Solidarity.

Marion, O., July 20.-Assurance that
the League Of Nations will lead all
other issues in the campaign is seen
by the advisors of Senator Harding in
over-Sunday developments around the
campfres of the two big parties.
The announcement in Washington
that Governor Cox stands in perfect
accord with President Wilson is taken
here to mean straight out plea by the
Democratic party for vindication and
perpetuation of its policy-a policy
against which Senator Harding and all
of his lieutenants here are ready to
make the fight of their political lives.
Even before Sundays White House
conference was concluded, Senator
Harding had connected this signifl-
canoe and outcome and had taken the
aggressive in public statement de-
handing that the mysterious foreign
commitments" embraced in the Presi
dents program be outlined in detail
so the American people might know
what they were asked to support. At
the same time, he gave assurance that
the Republican party never would ac-
cept that program.
The alacrity with which the league
issue has come to the front has caused
manifest surprise at Harding head
quarters here Many of the Senator's
close associates had not expected Gov
ernor Cox to take sides with President
Wilson. In that event they thought II
probable that the League issue might
be thrust more or less into the back
ground for want of direct point OF
conflict between the two parties.
SO far, however, the ordinarily i'm
portant issues have failed to supply
paramount point Of conflict and the
circumstances are expected to keep
the League controversy in the spot
light
The Harding managers are not UNI
mindful that within their own party
there is some division of opinion re-
garding the league.
They also are confident that such an
issue will drive wedge through Dem
ocratic solidarity and they do not pro-
pose to overlook any opportunities to
thus carry the fight into the enemy's
territory.

On Wednesday Is Real

II you believed that you had inspired
your husband to do big things - to

Life had been drab and dreary for
this beautiful young girl. Surrounded
by the squalor of the Montmartre dis
trict in Paris, she had kept tight hold
of her ideals and side-stepped tempta-
tation.
Then Paul Brehant, the noted sculp-
tor, entered her life. An idealist,
smarting from the disappointment of
finding the woman he loved untrue to
him, Denies purity appealed to him
and they were married, But the other
woman would not so easily relinquish
her place to girl from the gutter.
Did the virtue of the girl Of lowly
birth hold out against the insidious
lies and insults of the woman of high
birth? The answer lies in the happy
ending of THE Virtuous Model" 1t is

play. THE Gutter" written by Pierre

THIRD RACE IN THE
CUP CONTEST TODAY
ResOlute Is Favored in Contest in Bets
BY a Margin Of Six to Five -
Fog Is Heavy.

Navesink, Highlands, N, j., July 20.
The foghorn on Ambrose lightship
was blaring hoarsely as the sun rose
today, the third day of racing between
the Shamrock w and the Resolute for
Americas yachting cup
A thick haze covered the sea, despite
a twelve-mile breeze from the north
west. IA
The haze had lifted somewhat by the
time the crews had been placed aboard
the yachts, but visibility was poor. If
the breze holds at its present strength,
today should witness the first real test
of the white and green racers.
Captain William P. Burton, skipper
of the Shamrock in the first two races,
will be at the wheel again today. Sir
Thomas Upton, on Burton's plea for
another chance under good weather
conditions, reconsidered- his action in
deposing the skipper
The Upton sloop took upon herself
an additional handicap by a change to
large topsail which increased the
Resolute's time allowance to seven
minutes, one second.
Today's race will be sailed over a
triangular course of ten miles to each
leg, the same at Saturdays race which
was not completed.
The Shamrock, despite having one
race to the good in the series, will &C
to the starting line with the odds
against her. Betting favored the Reso
lutte by odds of 6 to s.
After todays race, the races will b.
staged on consecutive days unless one
of the shippers demands day of res
in which to make repairs.
