SOME MEN WHO WOULD DARE TO
DIFFER WITH WlLSON-COX LEAGUE

The question in the minds of Ameri-
cans who believe in the men who
made this country the great Republic
that 1t is today, is this:
Is Woodrow Wilson a wiser man
than George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln and James Monroe and all
the illustrlous leaders Of our countrys
pasti
1t is true that Woodrow Wilson
already has tried to force his every
view, his every idea or thought, upon
the American people. 1t is true that
he has made up his own mind about
internal and international policies
without ever consulting the American
people or their representatives In
Congress.
But II Woodrow. Wilson 4 DOES
think that the American people are
not to be counted as material when
he attempts to shape this country's
policies, he will have to work hard to
convince them that the policies of
Washington and Lincoln are not ac-
ceptible in this day. Washington
said in his time:

FRANKLIN D. HAS NO
CHANCE WITH WOMEN

Franklin d. Roosevelt, who was
placed upon the Democratic ticket to
neutralize the unpleasant impression
sure to be made upon American
women by Presidential candidate
selected by the French Lick Oligarchy,
has startled the country by mala-
droit confession that destroys all
chance the Democrats may have had
of winning the woman vote. Briefly,
he states that President Wilson put

League of Nations the United States
could always out-vote England by con-
trolling the votes of the Central and
South American Republics.

The Democracy is hardly to be con-

Four years ago a large number OF

and of the woman voters attitude toward a candidate for President who has been divorced by his wife
 Only McAdoos final and unequivocal withdrawal from the race could lead to the nomination of Cox. That might dc it, or it might result in the choice of a darl- horse.
 The woman vote is a big factor, too. With regard to the platform the decla- ration regarding prohibition will be dry or it will be meaningless straddle. It won't be wet. The liberalizers of the Vol stead act are up against the same diff culty as the anti-prohibtionists in Con gross. Many delegates would like to put a little moisture in the platform. They can point to states that might be won by holding out some faint hope of light wines and beer. But they always face the loss of the west and that uncertain factor-the woman voter-in the states which they might think possible to carry by putting a little moisture in the plat form. For political reasons, the liquor plank will probably be a straddle. But it will be so by grace of the drys espc- cially the southern drys who think that votes may be gained in the east by a straddle.
 Over the convention hangs, not only doubt of it's leading candidates inten- tions, but doubt about the White House. The dem ocrats would like to get Mir. Will son out of the way. They think that this would leave them all free, including MT. McAdoo, for they impute his hesitation to some doubt about the Presidents in- tentions, and feel sure that in some way, directly or indirectly, the White House was responsible for the McAdoo state ment or withdrawal

 There is great rejoicing among the Greeks in Constantinope over the ad- vance of the Greek army west of Ala Shehr, walled town in the Vilayet of Aidin, the ancient name of which was hladelpha. The Greeks report the Turkish losses in the capture of Ala Shehr as 5000 men killed, wounded or captured. All the Greeks of military age in the city are being recruited to rein force the army.
 Greek officials here say that the troops of Renal Pasha are undiciplined and are too poorly equipped with artillery to offer effective resistance against the Greeks.
