An important development of
the campaign that strengthens
the Democratic hope and gives
a moral backing worth much is
the publication by The Christian
work of figures showing the at
titude of the clergy towards the
League. Fifteen thousand three
hundred and nine clergymen
signed a petition urging prompt
ratification of the Treaty and
the League without multiplying
reservations. Eight hundred
and sixteen clergymen declined
to sign. The signers outnum-
bered the nonsigners more than
eighteen to one. Every shade
of religious belief was represent
ed on this petition: Protestant,
Catholic, Hebrew and other
faiths. The Northern Baptist
Convention urged ratification in
the name of 100000 Northern
Baptists. Over 1000 Metho-
dist clergymen signed, and other
churches were we'll represented.
The character of the support
that Governor Cox is winning is
indicated by the above and by
the support of DR.. Charles w.
Eliot, John Burroughs and a
host of other Progressives and
Independents.

IA Republican Said.

DR.. Frank Crane, one of the
greatest magazine writer's in
America and a Republican,
speaking Of the League of Ma
tons in Current Opinion, says:
IF you are going to oppose
the League of Nations to me,
you must propose SOME 9TH
Err WAY TO STOP WAR, or I
will not listen. It took the most
fearful war of history to induce
the nations to get together and
consider the League of Nations.
Must we wait for another? I
have been a lifelong Republican
and my father was a Republican
before me. Politicians who are
)>aeved because the League was
proposed by the opposite politi-
cal party, or by a President they
GO not like, should be willing to
swallow their pride and favor
the League in spite of objec-
tons. If they cannot do this
THEY PUT PARTISANSHIP
ABOVE HUMANITY, AND
ARE ENEMIES OF THE HUI
MAN RACE"
Were we have the example of
a great Republican who puts
humanity above partisanship
making the most severe charge
against the Republican party
which it is possible to make.
This is the testimony of a Re-
publican, a great Republican, an
educated Republican, a Republi-
can who loves his fellow man
more than his party. Think Of
it, men and women of Richmond
county.

There is no question but that
the solid German-American vote
will be cast for Senator Harding
for President. Why? Because
Senator Harding violently OPP
posed the League of Nations in
the Senate and his advocacy in
recent speeches to effect a sep
arate peace with Germany. A
man should be judged by the
company he keeps-is it not a
little more than a coincidence
that the German element is
wildly against the League? That
fact in itself should commend
the League to our Richmond
county pure-blooded American
men and women.

The following is a quotation
from an address made by Sena-
tor Harding:
Il think it is an inspiration
to patriotic devotion--to safe
guard America first, to stabilize
America first, to think of Amer
lea first, to live for and revere
America first"
To make this complete he
should have rounded it out by
adding something like the fol
lowing:
"Of all my fathers family W
7 loved myself the best;
If God takes care Of me,
The devil may have the rest"

SAMUEL sMlLEY's SAYINGS.
He Sees a Likeness Between White
Sox Baseball and White Featehr
Politics.

@. What do I think of the White
Sox players throwing the Void Sc
ries last year?
A. The same that think of the
leading Republican players trying to
throw" the World Series with Ger
many.
Q. Who first suggested the slogan,
Boys, Get the Money!"
A. don't know, but in putting it
into operation the White sox beat the
Republican Campaign Committee to
it.
@. Is Harding or Penrose the lead
er of the Republican party?
A. Penrose is the leader; Harding
is the Mastered Mind"
O. Is Harding fighter?
A. No; the only thing he ever tried
to scrap" was the League of Nations.
O. What is Hardings favorite
poem?
"A. The mountains looked on Ma
rion and Marion looked on the sea.
@. One friend write that he wants
to ask Senator Harding a question
and asks: How shall l go about it?"
A. Use the long distance-unless
you want to get, arrested.
@. What kind of League of Ma
lions would Harding be satisfied with ?
A. Judging from his speeches and
considering the fact that he is golfer,
/ should guess that he plans a
small League with enough members
to make up ''foursome'-say with
Uncle Sam, the Sultan of Turkey, the
Dictator of Russia and whoever hap
pens to be President of Mexico at the
time the game is called.
Q. Why do the Deutschland uber al
les boys support Harding?
A. He says that means same as
America first.
Q. How does he pronounce it?
A. He says he is not sure about the
pronunciation, and you can't blame
him--he hasn't been in the brewery
business long enough.
Q. How do interpret his declara-
ton, America First?
A. With reservations: America first
Ito quit
Q. What do think of the fifteen
former Roosevelt Progressive leaders
who have declared for Cox?
A. Americans first.

ward the Proeressiyes?

Robert N. Page, recent candi-
date for Governor in the Demo-
cratic primary, is a man of un-
questioned character. He is a
man of brains and convictions.
He'll is most decidedly NOT a
demagogue. Therefore what he
says about a matter is bound to
be given the greatest weight and
consideration by our Richmond
county people. In his speech at
the courthouse at Rockingham
last Saturday afternoon, he as
serted that in his judgment the
League of Nations is the most
momentous issue that has con-
.
fronted the American people in
his memory! And what can be
more convincing that this state
ment made by Mr.. Page: II
charge the Republican oligarchy
in the United States Senate with
trifling with the peace of the
world in the INTEREST OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY"
He is most decidedly NOT a

stand by the League and the eff
fort to keep the world at peace.

Evidence that Governor Cox
has profoundly stirred the West
continues to crop out, notably
the coming over to his support
of former republican papers and
ministers of the gospel Of repub-
lican affiliation. Every day some
accession of this kind is noted in
the news. Nor is all the demo-
cratic gain confined to the West !;
the East is showing a strong
drift towards Cox as the issues
of the campaign become clearer
and more widely known:
old American traditions and prin-
ciples of government, and their
application to the world. He
says, too, that Article X of the
covenant does not make it pos
sible for other nations to bring
us into war, and nothing in it in
the least interferes with or i'm
pairs the sole right of congress
to declare war.
President Wilson's participa-
ton in the fight is timely. The
great object of the democratic
leaders for weeks has been to
make every American familiar
with the covenant of the league
the republican course has been
absolutely the reverse. They
even went so far as to omit the
covenant from the republican
textbook. The democrats are
putting the covenant of the lea
que either in the hands of or
easily accessible to every voter,
making thus a direct appeal to
the individual intelligence and
individual conscience of every
voter.

LET the Women Do It."

In this country there are
large numbers of men who are
too lazy, or Indifferent, or too
greedy in the accumulation of
wealth to go to the polls and
vote-to pay the debt they owe
to their country.
They think they are good cit
liens, but many other people
think they are not.
Women have always forged to
the front in all good work, and
unquestionably they will take up
their newly acquired burdens of
citizenship as rapidly as they
can adjust themselves to their
new station in political life.
Will they lead in the voting
of the future?
Will they put the stay-at-
home man to shame?
We have faith in the willing
ness of all good women to do
that which is for the best.
Voting is a sacred duty.
Women are not shirkers.
Men sometimes are.
