where. 1t is not unusual to find practi-
cally the whole first page filled with
stories calculated to make Democratic
votes. Throughout the state the Demo
Gratis also have the advantage with the
press. The Republican leaders are bas-
ing their hopes entirely upon heavy
woman vote in the mountain districts,
which are Republican. And they are
counting upon a majority in the Louis
vile district. They think the state will
go Republican by 10000, but are pre-
pared to be disappointed, first, if the
weather is bad in the mountains and the
women don't go to the polls; and second,
if the majority in Louisville should turn
out to be less than calculated.
The writer happened to meet, among
others, Swager Shirley, who for years has
the Louisville district in CON
gress and was beaten last time he ran
by a Republican. He said that, if the
enthusiasm and interest displayed by the
Democrats when he made the race was
only one-half of what it is this year he
would have been elected by a decisive ma
iority. The Democrats have polled many
precincts in the state and have spIen-
did organizatiOn-and the canvass looks
rosy for them They have the advantage

There's a good deal of anonymous litera-

camnaign are the league issue and the

RED CROSS SPENDS
$51, 100000 IN EUROPE
Ends It's Activities In France and Bel
GUM - Leaves Body of Trained
Workers to Carry on Relief.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-The
American Red Cross furnished relief to
war-stricken Europe during the last year
to the amount of sol, 000.00 The most
extensive of overseas activities of the
organization. however, ended during the
year with the closing of relief work in
France and Belgium.
Red Cross work in Europe. according
to statement issued from the national
headquarters here and based on the
forthcoming report for the year that
ended last June 80, is now confined to
Poland. Serbia, Montenegro. Albania.
West Russia and the Baltic states,
South Russia, Vienna, Budapest and
Constantinople.
In bringing the work in France and
Belgium to close, the Red Cross pro-
rectly benefited 30,000.00O persons by
gifts or sales at nominal prices. In Italy
the need of direct relief practically has
vanished and the Red cross confined its
work there to home service for American
soldiers and their families and the
founding of welfare institutions for
children.
Local self-help ran hand-in-hand with
the Red Cross relief and whenever the
American organization withdrew from a
territory it left sufficient body of
trained workers among the people to
carry on the activities

the forehead was found on the outskirts

and guardian, shortly before a warrant
charging him with the murder of
Drewes was issued. I'VE are practically
marking time just now" Major S. o.
Wynne, chief of the county detectives,
declared.
We have strong hope that Brines
knows by this time that his friends have
engaged counsel for him and that he has
read the appeals for him to return and
give his version of the shooting. At any
rate, he now has a chance to appear
and explain. If he does not. / feel GER

Mr. Virgins told the officials that if
Brincs communicated with his relatives
he would be urged to give himself up at
once and that everything possible would
be done to assist him. He said he had
not the slightest information regarding
the young mans whereabouts. Brines's
mother is still a patient in a hospital.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Oct. 25.-If
Chairman VIII Hays is basing his pre-
dictions of Republican success in the ma
tion or the factors that are expected, for
example. to make Kentucky a Republican
state, then there is something wrong
about the information at Republican ma
tional headquarters For Kentucky is
Democratic. Weeks ago it was claimed
by the Republicans. Today they admit it
is close. And the Democrats are talking
about landslide with absolutely the
yame kind of confidence that one gets in
Republican circles in New York state.
Something like a religious fcrvor is
sweeping Kentucky on the league of ma
tions issue. The drift here is very much
like that in Indiana-an 18th hour turn
on the league of natiOns-althOugh in
Kentucky the growth of sentiment has
been more gradual and is coming now
like a tide.
The Republicans really did have a
chance to carry Kentucky. There is no
doubt about it. Last year they carried
the state for governor by a 10000 ma
j0rity But the Republican administra-
y
some. weaknesses that will cost the ma
tional ticket many votes. The biggest
mistake the Republicans have made how
ever, is the raising Of the race issue.
Woman suffrage came and the Republi-
cans. directly cr indirectly, encouraged
the Negroes by every kind of approach
the Negro newspapers the church, the
schools. And in the Louisville district.
more than $1,000 Negro women registered
to not more than 20 affiliated as Demo
Gratis. Fully 10000 Negro males have
registered as Republicans, The city Of
Louisville, therefore. viii go Republican.
The effect of the registration of 50 many
Negroes has been to antagonize and
arouse the whites. The women of the
state have done more even than the men
to get things going. The Democratic
campaign organization here has more life
and ginger than any the writer has en-
Countered in the whole country Unques-
tionably the race question has been a ma
tcrial factor: but the truth is. the Demo
Gratis have made 100 per cent use Of the
league of nations as an issue.

speeches and campaign effort than else
