SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

Reports received from the Post Of

additional orders for more than 100.-
900 additional pieces Of both s25 and
500 certificates have been received,
and in Mondays mail seven post Offices
each gave additional orders for one
hundred $1,000 certificates.
1t is evident that the investing pub

this new issue Of certificates, and the
orders received for the lower denom-

statements disseminated by the Demo
cratic press declares the Rcpubli.
can Publicity Association, through tn
president Of that organization, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jrs in a statement
commenting upon the assertion Of
Democratic editor that the politicians
defeated the league Of nations purely
for partisan reasons.
Now Jet us analyze that state
ment,' says the association. IF the
league was defeated purely for par
tisan reasons. then that was the exclu-
sive reason for lis defcat-the only
purpose and motive actuating those
who voted against ratification. II
that statement is true, then those who
voted against the league disregaried
their eountry's welfare and were guild
ed solely by party prejudice. II that
statement is true, then those who vot-
ed TO defeat the league were unpatri-
otic.
Now notice where the assertion Of
our Democratic friend leads him.
There was national election follow
ing the defeat Of the league, and the
league was the chief issue in that
election. The people voted their SEN
timents upon the league when they
voted for candidates for the Presi-
dency and for the United States Sem
ate.
Warren G. Harding, who, as a
member Of the Senate, voted against
ratification Of the league rs submitted
by President Wilson, was elected Pres
ident by a vote Of 16,000,000 to 9,O00,-
900 for his Democratic opponent who
was at one with Mr.. Wilson. Did the
people Of America do that purely for
partisan reasons? Were the people
Of America as unpatriotic as our Dem
oeratic friend would have us believe
the politicians were?
Among the Senator's who voted
against the league were Brandegee Of
Connecticut, Cummins Of Iowa, Cur
,tis Of Kansas, Lenrott of Wisconsin,
Moses Of New Hampshire, Smoot Of
Utah, Penrose Of Pennsylvania, Wads-
worth Of New York and Watson Of
Indiana-men scattered throughout
the United States. All OF them were
reelected by normal or excessive
pluralities. The people Of their
states reelected these Senators, thus
ratifying their action in voting againS>
the league?
"lf the league was defeated for par
tisan reasons, it must have been for
Republcaa partisan reasons, for the
overwhelming majority Of the votes
against the league were cast by Re
publicans. But the results Of the
election disclosed largely increased
Republican membership Of the Senate,
in which body the league was defeated.
"From every viewpoint, the action
Of the opponents Of the league has
been upheld and approved by the
people Of the several states and the
people Of the nation as a whole. An
indictment Of the opponents Of the
league is, therefore, an indictment Of
Of tie great majority Of the people Of
the country. An indictment Of the
majority Of the people is an indictment
Of representative popular government.
We leave TO the Democratic press the
ask Of showing that this is not the
conclusion from the asser-
ion that the opponents Of the league
we're actuated by purely partisan

,eived any income?
Have you any income from royal

ire working?
Do you appropriate, or have the
light TO appropriate, the earnings Of
such children? If so, the amount
nust be included in the return of
ncome.
Has your wife any income from any
iource whatsoever? II so, it must be
included in your return or reported in
separate return of income.
Did you receive any directors fees
II trustees fees in the course Of the {
ear?
Do you hold any Office in a benefit J
