Uncle Harry Talks About
Ambassador Ha1veyS Speech

What did you think about the
speech that Colonel Harvey, the
new American Ambassador 20 Eng
land, made in which he said that
under no circumstances would the
United States have anything to do
with the League Of Nauons2" asked
Joe.
why, I think il was very strange
that Colonel Harvey never said a
word to me beforehand about that
speechi" said Uncle Harry, smiling
but / think he must have talked IL
over with President Harding before
he sailed for England, so guess III
have to excuse him for not taking
me into his confidence"
Many Different Views.
But l thought from some Of the
things that I have read" said Helen.
that there was a possibility OF the
United States joining the League
providing certain changes were made
in the Covenant; or at least that
there was a chance of a new league
being formed with the United States
as one OF the members"
"Well, It is rather a perplexing
said Uncle Harry. There
are today in all walks OF life. in our
own country and throughout Eu-
rope, many different views as to the
value OF the League of Nations Our
own congressman, as 1 have pointed
out to you, are very much divided in
their opinions as to just what our
country's relations should be with
the present League. even assuming
that il is changed; or with a possi-
BILE new League OF Nations.
Il think, however. that President
Harding has made it quite plain in
a number OF speeches that he re-
CARDS the result OF the election last
fan as indicating very clearly that
the vast majority Of people in this
country were opposed to our country
entering the League of Nations as IL
is at present constituted
'In spite Of Mr.. Harding's speeches
however, there seems TO have been
a good many people in this country
and in Europe who had an idea that
perhaps the President didn't mean
exactly what he said. Under these
circumstances, therefore, it would
seem to me that Ambassador Harvey
did the right thing in speaking
frankly about the matter even
though his remarks did seem rather
blunt

The three members OF the so-called

comparison OF the vote further
emphasizes the high run made by
DR.. Banton colored. who is a mem-
Der OF the present Board of Educa-
ton. Whereas DR.. Banton received
1902 votes and won sixth place
among the victors. J. Victor Dorrell,
his colored adversary. polled only
765 and came out at the foot Of the
entire ticket
DR.. Banton drew considerable
strength from Democratic districts
polling a big vote in the Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth wards
Ellwood Souder, who was ap-
pointed as a member of the State
Board Of Education by Governor
Denney on Saturday. has announced
that he intends to stay on the city
board, to which he has been elected,
and also will accept the State ap-
pointment
Although II was general expected
that Shermer II. stradley, chairman
Of the finance committee Of the
present city board, would receive
the largest vote. nevertheless the
fact that he rolled up more than
10000. or more than 1900 above his
next highest competitor, proved a
surprise. In Mr.. stradley's home
ward, the Ninth. he polled 22OO. the
highest vote given to any candidate
in that ward.
The first three men elected,
Messrs. Stradley, Rommel and Dr.
Palmer win serve terms of four
years. The remaining four. Mr..
Chandler, Mr.. Souder. Dr. Banton
and DR.. Washburn, will serve only
two years.
Mr.. Souders vote undoubtedly
would have been much greater but
for the circulation Of a story that he
had withdrawn as a candidate to ac-
cept appointment TO the State Board
Of Education. This rumor was per-
sistently circulated Saturday after
noon.
That a powerful combination was
at work in behalf Of certain of the
candidates elected was evident when
the polls opened on Saturday The
combination varied somewhat in
different districts but it always in
cluded Messrs. Rommell. Palmer
and Banton Of the "Old Guard" Re
publican and Democratic workers
Hike lined up for this combination
and added others TO ii as they chose
Ia many districts.
In some districts Negroes voted
for DR.. Banton and for nobody else.
This was strikingly illustrated in the
NTH district Of the Sixth ward where
Banton received 33S votes. while
Mr.. Rommell. the next highest, re-
ceived III votes.
