PRESSING GERMANY FOR PARTITIONS IS A BAD IDEA-GEDDES
Sir Edric Geddes Says Ger many Lacks Money to Pay Obligations at the Pres
 ent Time

London. November 7.-sir Eric Geddes did some very plain talking about German reparations as the guest of the Thirty club of London recently. This club is an association of advertising experts When in Parliament Sir Eric was noted for his straight forward style of speech, and since he became a business man again he is more outspoken than ever
 "In 1918 I was a politician" he said, "and I said then that we should not make a fetish of reparatiens; that we might find reparations a boomerang, and that the demanding of great sums from Germany might be bad. I nearly lost my seat over that statement, and I had to hedge a bit.s
 He was under no necessity of doing any hedging before the Thirty club, he continued. What I said in 1918 has come absolutely true now" he declared We were absolutely wrong, as allies, in trying to get the last penny out of Germany. We can not get it because it Is not there.
 Tt is no use chasing mirage. You can only get separations out of Ger many by either money or goods. She has no money. and if you take her goods it will mean unemployment here If the leaders of thought could bring that home to our people, 1t would be a good thing for this coun- try.

 Twenty-two counties had reported 72 precincts up to 10 a. m. and the figures showed Howell 3.0S1 ahead of Hitchcock. and Bryan 1,745 ahead Of Randall.

It was also said that some of Senator Hitchcocks acts on woman suffrage and on the prohibition ques- tion were responsible for the loss of many votes tc' him.
