''The trend and wave towards the
league of nations, with Governor Cox
standing out so plainly as the pro-
ponent of the leasue, is Sc strong in
this state that it places Iowa in
very doubtful state Ofsaffairs," said
Dr. J. w REYNOLDS chairman Of the
democratic state central committee.
Realizing, as do. that Iowa is ordi-
narily strongly. republican, never
theleSs think because OF the league
issue Iowa will go for Cox The re-
peated speeches of Senator Harding,
attempting to clarity his position on
the league. but\Of which aacn sue
ceeding one abounds in ambiguity,
have diseusted thousands Of republic
cans. And because of Senator Hard
mss wibble wobble position, these
voters are going to vote for Cox. It
would not SURPRISE me if Iowa went
for Cox by ma jor:ty Of twenty or
thirty thousand The women of tie
state are takin" an active part in the
in behalf Of the league Of
nations: and of course their votes are
going to be felt strongly on election
day.
We will elect both Clyde l.. Her
ring for governor. and Claude r. Por-
ter for United states senator by good
safe majorities. Mr.. Porter is GER
tain Of election because the farmers
Of this state are aneered a the Cum
Minis Esch bill. with its consequent
increased freight rates. The farmers
'eallZe that because of this bill they
must pay increased freight on every
hing they ship and everything they
)uy. This together with the fallen
srice OF farm products. has height
,ned their feeling against the Cum
nins-Esch bill. Of which Senator
~ummins is co-author Union labor
