NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Ths Ameri-
can people. In overwhelming numbers.
are going 20 vote on next Tuesday for
a complete housekeeping at Wash
inkton and the restoration OF re-
sponsive and responsible Republican
administration OF national AFFAIRS.
Eight years OF misrule and NAL
administration is more than enough.
The Democratic party cannot escape
a sweeping condemnation upon the
record IL has made.

and because | have 100 per cent evil
dence that this mass intelligence and
intuition viii net miscarry at the
polls.
The American people know the
meaning OF wisconsin. They know
It's cost. They know that IL has kept
US out of peace for two hectic years,
despite an ardent and cunning pre-
tense of beaiifc monopoly upon all
pacific aspirations: and they are fully
alive to the fact that the Wilson
League OF Nations would prove SINH
Iarly counterfeit in keeping them out
OF war In years to come.
The American people know that the
Wilson party is trade marked, not
only with all it's own recently demon
strated incapacities. wsnton eNtrava-
gance, and reckless wastes. but also
with traditional, historic. and con-
sistent Democratic impotence "a
meet economic crises: and they are
fully alive to the danger of longer
gambling with the tremendous re
sponsibilities of an already too long
lodged American reconstruction.
Governor Cox has left no cheap sen
sation uninterrupted; he has exhausted
the dictionary of malignant epithet
he has lowered Presidential dignity
and campaign standards to ward
heeling, soapbox levels In his distem
perate quest for votes. Camoufiag nE
facts with cunning phrases and reck
less rhetoric, he may swindlc history
in being recorded as a Presidential
candidate, but neither he nor his fel.
lows have fooled the American peo.
pie.
The rebuke OF the Democratic party
and it's leadership will be one of the
most decisive in history.

For the first time In their history

their countries.

arrived here on leave. stated today
that within the next few weeks, each
municipality in Guatemala, Hon

Costa Rics would assemble and vote
on the proposal TO form one single

These municipal gatherings wall

posed dictator of Guatemala. still Is
in Jail untried, Mr.. Mcmillan said.
He declared, however, that AFFAIRS In
Guatemala were rapidly readjusting
themselves and that President Carlos
Herrera had gained the respect Of
all. Recent cabinet changes, he said,
had served TO settle many political
dissentions.
HAVOC Is REPAIRED.
The havoc wrought by the earth
quake which destroyed hundreds OF
buildings in the capital was being
rapidly repaired. Mr.. Mcmillan de-
clarcd as supplies now were avail
able for rebuilding.
The general feeling in Central
America, Mr. Mcmillan indicated, was

such a republic, II might lose some

Republicans should achieve the re-

Eliminating the four Southern

Republican gain would be seven seats,
