In an editorial explanation of the
bipartisan selections. Mr.. Kimbal
says:
I'VE believe in Democratic princi-
pies and refuse to surrender voiun-
tarily these convictions to the cause
Of radicalism and anarchy. no matter
in what disguise it may be presented.
The fact that several Non-Partisan
League candidates have horned" into
the Democratic camp does not signify
that the grand fundamentals Of the
party must be overthrown. II sim
ply means that numerous watchmen
were asleep at the switch.

Senator Harding loves to talk
about his early boyhood struggles in
the West, and several times has re-
later to me the story of his playing
the alto horn in the Marion band, OF
which he was manager.
A great event in Ohio was the
contest between the bands of the
state annually held at Findlay. Young
Harding was anxious to get the uni
forms of the Marion band paid for,
and so entered the band in the compe-
tition and took it to Ffndlay. The
uniforms had cost 500, and he
thought If the band could win one OF
the prizes it would pay for the uni
forms. He engineered the affair.
and as he said to me, we blew our
heads of, but there were so many
bands from the big cities that felt
discouraged and thought we had
failed When the prizes were to De
awarded, all Of the players had left
except the bass drum, the clarionet
and Harding with the alto horn. Sud.

won first and second prizes. The
three players former and followed the
other two bands playing as loud and
hard as they could. When they got
back to Marion they received a great
ovation. Senator Harding says it was
the proudest moment in his life.
Senator Harding has had six years
in the Senate. He has served as
chairman of the Philippines commit
tee, on the Naval Affairs committee,
the Commerce Committee, and, during
the past year on the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, where he voted for
ratification of the treaty with the
Lodge reservations. He prepared,
introduced and passed the amend

Desdamona territory now than there

cox SEES THE
sPEcTER OF DEFEAT

WASHINGTON, Oct Comment
ing on recent election returns, the
Republican Publicity Association,
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., makes the following
statement:
THE denomination of Senator
George H. Moses in New Hampshire.
the nomination for the Senate OF
ThomasE. Watson in Georgia, and the
outcome of the state election in
Maine, indicate conclusively the way
In which public thought is crystalliz-
ing against wisconsin and the League
Of Nations. New Hampshire is a
rock-ribbed Republican state. while
Georgia is one of the strongholds of
the solid Democracy, yet the winning
Republican in the former and the
winning Democrat is the latter are in
dividuals who are fundamentally op-
posed to the British-Wilson league.
and bitterly arrayed against Wilson
ism in general. Senator Moses is one
Of the irreconcilables of the Senate
anti-league forces. He not only op-
posed the league as submitted by the
President, but also spoke and voted
against the league after modification
by the Lodge reservations. Mr.. Wat
son has been bitter in his denuncia-
lion of the league, and an outspoken
critic of the Wilson administration
Had he been in the Senate during the
debate on the league-treaty, there is
no doubt he would aligned himself
with the so-called 'bitter-enders'
Senator Moses won his fight
against a man who favored ratifica-
ton of the league covenant with the
Lodge reservations. The contest was
admittedly and frankly one between
an out-and-out opponent of the league
and a reservationist. The former
won an overwhelming victory. One
Of the chief adversaries OF Mr.. Wat
Smith, who had conducted himself
onite indenendently of the President
throughout the Senate fight on the
league. On the final vote he had
cast his ballot in favor of the Lodge
reservations. But the people OF
Georgia were not satisfied with
compromise of that sort. Like the
Repub leans of New Hampshire, the
Democrats Of George insisted that the
British-Smuts-W / SON covenant be
scrapped and Watson beat Smith by
over 10 1. In Maine, Democrats
counted on the women favoring the
League of Nations as a means to
bring peace to the world. But the
count shows that they voted against
the league. The women of Maine. like
those OF the rest of the country, have
a horror of war, but they are con-
vinced that the surest guarante OF
peace is TO avoid the league entangle-
ments
is there any wonder that Gov. Cox
is resorting TO every device his in
gennity can conceive to divert the
people from further discussion OF the
league? He has become convinced
in the way his speeches thus far have
been received that the truth regard
ing the league. and what 1t means to

that there is indeed nothing new

a scrapbook owned by the late

is taken:
"The wages given to servants
