GREAT INTEREST SHOWN

Bitterly assaling the Republican ad-
ministration in their policies and tradi-

egotism and unwilhngneS to complete
the good work OF great President IN
establishing and maintaining the League
of Nations, former United States Senator
Willard Salisbury last night impressed
l,5OO staunch American women, at the
reception and ladies' night, held under the
auspices of the Democratic League of
Delaware, at the club house, 6l0 French
street, with the real meaning and value OF
the League of Nations.
"At this election the women are going
to do better than the men have done and
they now have n great opportunity to
appreciate the right to vote" MIR. Sauls-
bury said "The Democratic party has
always stood for manhood and against
money, and even if they had the priec
with which to buy their votes 1T wouldn't
be used. Ladies, the Democratic party
has never bought an election IL any State
and it doesn't intend to do SO now"

who our associates In the future will be?
They will be Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey
and Mexico. In this country there are
more Republicans than patriots and pa
triotism on the Republican side may bc
weighed with their views on the League OF
Nations
"Why do women want a League Of
NationsY Because il saves the mothers of
the future from sacrificing their sons to
war Because it is the only practical workin
ing plan to replace conflict, bloodshed
and sorrow by peace and goodwill With
the League of Nations, Congress by our
Constitution is the only power in this
country having authority to declare war.
But first within the League itself, the
United States by its right of vote may
