WOMAN SPEAKER
ATTACKS C. @. p.
Brands Republican Propa-
sur1da as Malicious.

Women win vote for the things of the
greatest benefit to their children ana
their homes, being unselflsh and not car
rying on campaign of graft" said Mrs.
Martha Yoh Marsan to the women of the
Tenth ward st a meeting at State street
and Hovt avenue.
She branded the Republican propaganda
as the most malicious" ever put out by
any political party.
Saying that the Democrats are only
standing on their rights and telling the
truth. Mrs Marsan declared that no sane
person win believe the statement that
Lillian Russell made in Indianapolis that
the Democrats slaughtered $4,000 boys In
France.
She poitned out that when President
Wilson asked Republican Congress to
remove the luxury war tax it refused,
having decided to keep 1t on until after
the election; that the legislation Presi-
cent Wilson asked for against profiteer-
Ing was not given to him by the Repub-
Ican Congress; that the Cuban sugar
which he recommended he bought was
not authorized until after England had
bought it all up; that when it was finally
authorized none was left, for which the
republicans are now accusing Wilson oS
negligence; that Attorney General Palmer
made the price In sugar drop by calling
in the loans to the spectators, causing
them ia either pay for Their sugar or re-
lease it.
All these things, Mrs. Marsan said.
were Republican propaganda, spread In
the hopes that the women would be
turned from the Democratic party.
Mrs. Marsan emphasized the necessity
OF conducting a school of education in
voting for the women in order that they
may not spoil their ballot, thus losing
their votes, and also that the women vote
in the early hours of the morning and
afternoon.
Mrs. Marsan said that many women
who say they are independent are willing
to listen to reason and have only been
waiting to hear the truth.
She classed the League of Nations as
fourth in the rank with the worlds great
documents. namely, the Ten Command
ments, the Magma Carta and the United
States Constitution.

Contrary to the general impression,
stray and outcast dogs and other pets

There are more applications for animals
than can be granted.

other dog, regardless Of weight, and the
other a passion for riding in automobiles

SAYS UNJUST WAR
ONLY IS BARRED
David III. Miller Speaks Here
on League of Nations.

Defending the League of Nations in an
address at the Indiana Democratic Club,
David Hunter Miller of New York last
night declared:
N'The only right the United States
would forfeit by joining the League of
Nations would be the right to wage an
unjust war
David Hunter Miller is legal adviser
to President Wilson. and acted in the
same capacity to the American delega-
ton at the peace conference.
He devoted considerable time to an
swering Republican attacks on article 10
of the league coyenent, asserting:
ARTICLE 10 does not mean war.
at declares against war.
at means peace, and no sane man or
woman who has read it can truthfdIIy
assert that 1t means anything else.
Another point which has been miscon-
strued by good many people and mis-
represented by many politicians is that of
the allotment Of votes to members of the
council.
JUST WHAT
THIS MEANS.
Great Britain is TO have six votes,
while the United States il to have only
one.
This does not mean that Great Britain
through its Parliament is to have all
these votes.
canada, Auatralla and its other col
onies will have voice In these votes and
every one knows that they are not al
ways in sympathy with the British poll
cies."
He answered many questions asked by
members of the audience.
