UNDISPUTED FACTS.

1. If the Allies had been beaten in
the Great War, an autocrat would now
be debating world policies; and, al
the very least, the industries /of this
country, and the countries of western
Europe would now be mortgaged to
the countries of Central Europe for
the payment OF enormous indemnities
indemnities which would have re-
quired the people of the beaten coun-
tries to pay colossal tributes to the
autocrats for generations to come.
2. The Allies would have been beat
en- had it not been for the glorious
work of Americans, who turned the
tides Of battle at Chateau Thierry
and kept them turned until victor,
was complete.
3. Notwithstanding these undispu.
ted facts, there are voters enough il
this country at the present time ito
imperil Democratic success next Tues
day, because this country, under the
leadership of a Democratic President
made it possible for the Allies tt
win the war. eros

IOWA REGISTRATION PASSES o.
600 MARK.

More than 5000 different students
have already enrolled in the univer-
sity of Iowa this year and with regis
tration for the present semester stu
incomplete and the increases OF the
second semester still to be added 1t
seems reasonable to expect that the
anticipated attendance of about $500
for 192O-21 will be reached. IT a con-
tinued increase at last years rate is
maintained until November 1, regis
tration will have reached 5,2O0 by
that time.
This represents an increase over
last year of about 141s per cent II
last years figures for about this time
are compared with the present in
complete total. On October "a, 1919,
the total attendance was 4,575.
Excluding student nurses, at the
end of the first two weeks last year
there were 1855 students on the cam
pus. This year there are 4,219. This
increase is 534 or 1412 per cent.

BOLsHEyIsM ENTHRONEs MISERY
IN PETROGRAD.

A detailed description Of conditions
in the dying capitol of Russia IS fur-
nished by the Finnish Red Cross,
I with confimatory documents supplied
from Russian Sources.
In the time Of the Cars, Petrograd
had a population Of about 2,Ooo.ooo.
OF the fewer than 100000 remaining,
all are hungry, cold, half-clothed and
poorly housed; thousands are SICK
without proper attendance, and, with
winter at hand, the death-rate OF
10000 a month presages pestilentiai
epidemics which threaten tragedy
that is probably unexampled in the
history of the world.
! Bolsheyism stands for the rule OF
the mob, for terrorism, for the MUIR
I der of the Industrious, the skilled
( and the learned, and for the abolition
of the Ten Commandments. 1t seems
almost incredible that herein America,
a country full OF schools and churches
and newspapers, that there would be
any room for Bolshevism. But, in
credible as it may seem, we not alone
have men in this country who favor
the rapacity of jungle barbarism. but
there are enough of them to nominate
a presidential candidate. Every per-
son who votes next Tuesday will
find on the ballot ticket headed
Socialist, with Eugene v. Debbs
for president. Debbs favors Bolshe-
vism and is now serving term in

PRESIDENT OF LEAGUE AMAZED

The following is an s> Associated

Leon Bourgeois, president Of the
council of the league of nations
talking to American newspaper cor
respondents last night said that Ar
ticle x. Of the covenant OF the league
OF nations is considered by Euro
pean statesmen as a vital and es-
sential element of the covenant.
M. Bourgeois said he had been sur
prised that Article x had caused SO
much emotion in the United States
HE said that Article X could be elm
mated without in any way modifying
the effectiveness of the league of ma
tions.
Article X, said Mr.. Bourgeois, lis
scarcely more than moral back
ground to the covenant. 1t is not con-
sidered so important by EUROPEANS
as by Americans
There is really no sanction, or
penalty, in this article. All penalties
provided for in the covenant in order
to make the leagues action effective,
are in other articles

EXPENSES OF CAMPAIGN COM.
MITTEES.

VI. I. . Y y d III
The sworn statements required by
the law show that up to the 21st of
this month the Republican national
committee spent nearly four times
as much money as the Democratic
committee. Here are the exact fig
ures:
Republican expenditures s-$2, ,741, ,503.34
Democratic expenditures -$699, ,071.6s
Do not these figures suggest this
question: Why are the Republicans
expending so much money, il they
are as certain of winning the election
as their claims would indicate?

WITHOUT A LEAGUE.

Without a League of Nations to
promote peace the mothers Of America
have sent their sons forth to war in
each generation. With the exception
OF the civil war in 1860, America,
operating without a League Of Ma

ARTICLE x, THE STORM CENTER.

AhlACAE ~ InL SIVhM CENIEk.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette, in its
leading editorial last Saturday, COM
ments in a commendable manner on
Article x. It truthfully says that there
is no necessity for publication Of the
covenant in full; that Article x Of
the covenant is the storm center about
which the partisan patriots have built
their fabrication Of alleged evil; that
the fight against the League is the
fight against Article x; that every
dire prediction that adroit political
minds could conceive, has been made
with that Article; that every pessi-
mistic Interpretation that might be
placed on those simple sentences has
been extracted from them. It again
publishes Article X so that it's read
ers may determine how much of the
enmity against it is inspired by par
tisanship and how much by patriot
ism. Article x was agreed upon by
the best statesmen of more than 40
nations and adopted by the people Of
nearly all of the civilized nations Of
the world. Here it is in is entirety:
ARTICLElX.
"The members Of the League UNDER
take to respect and preserve as against
external aggression the territorial and
external aggression the territorial in
tegrity and existing political independ-
ence of all members of the league. In
case Of any such aggression or in case
OF any threat or danger Of such ag-4
gressiOn, the Council shall advise
upon the means by which this OBJ
legation shall be fulfilled"
On this page can be found what the
President of the League has to say
about ArticleX. 1t should be read by
every elector. The entire article could
be eliminated without hurting the
Covenant in any manner.

THAT ANONYMOUS CIRCULAR

1t seems that an unsigned circular.
which AYERS that there is negro blood
in Harding's veins, is being circulated
In Ohio. without offering any proof
to support it's charge the Press of
last week calls the screed Demo
cratic Campaign Circular"
If we ever indulged in a game of
chance we would wager dollars
against doughnuts that no Democrat
had any hand in the preparation or
circulation of that circular; that If the
truth were known the circular was
designed by Republican smart aleck
for much needed purpose. These
are our reasons for so believing:
1. Harding's election would not be
possible were it not for the Negro
vote.
2. The Negro, unlike some other
voters, has no grievance against the
Democratic party for winning the war,
and the League OF Nations issue was
likely to induce the colored people
to forget their old time party align
ment and divide their votes between
the two leading parties of the coun-
try.
8. Harding was beaten in his own
state unless something could be de-
Used that would prevent part OF the
,eayy colored vote of the state from

THE CLAIM STAGE OF THE CAM
PAIGN.

Everyone who has helped to manage
a political campaign, Of any consider
able Importance, knows that short
time before the election the claim
stage makes it appearance.
In truth and in fact newspaper
readers are quite as competent to fore
cast election results as political man
ayers, because the political manager
who would keep from the public any
fact likely to influence the voters of
the country would be untrue to his
party. Notwithstanding this some polit-
ical committeeman are willing to make
claims which they have good reason
to believe are gross exaggerations. The
object of such claims is to influence
the thoughtless flotsam that likes to
drift with the majority. The claimants
probably satisfy their elastic con-
sciences by thinking that the end
sought justifies the means.
To prove the worthless character OF
the claims now being made by Repub-
lican managers we need go back no
further than the presidential cam :
paign of four years ago. The claim
was then made by the Republicans
that Hughes would carry California
by 200 900. On election day Wilson
won by 3,806.
The Republican claim department
gave Kansas to Hughes by 100000, but
Wilson carried the state by 36,93O.
During the claim stage of the cam
paign years ago Republican manag-
ers were quite certain, that in addition
to the states named above, they would
carry by large majorities these IA
states: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Mary
land, Missouri. Montana, New Hamp-
shire, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Ohio, Washington and
Wyoming.
On election day Wilson carried these
states by the pluralities stated below:
