WorId---AlI Candidates
B, Still Hopeful
BY THE WATCHAIAN

There were few lew develop
ments in the political world dur
ing the weekend. In the sena-
torial nomination race on the Re
publican side. all the candidates,
except possibly Deacon" Jones of
Charleston, insist that they have
the inside track aud will secure
the nomination. Howard Suther-
land says that the outlook was
never better; Edwards has had
the race won for several weeks,
according to his own figures;
Lilly says that the battle is won,
and Ogden is still going strong
all over the state.
Close followers of the game
still hold that there is going to be
some sort of get together by
two Of the candidates before the
end of the campaign 1t is said
that in the final windup there may
be only two candidates, but just
how the proposition is to shape
up, if the dope is correct, remains
to be seen. "

KENNY ADDRESSES
QUOTARIANS HERE; |.
Grafton Man Seeking Nomi.
nation for Congress Pays
Tribute to Women.

aym ond Kenny of Grafton can
didate for the Democratic nomina
ton for Congress in the first dis.
trict, was the speaker at the week.
" lunch OF the Quota Club held at
noon today at the Farm ont Hotel.
/ The address Of Mr.. Kenny. was a
timely one and was much appreci-
Fated by the Quotarians. He said IN
part:
Whenever, in history, the strid-
ent voice Of protest, against some
ancient wrong has made itself
heard. we nearly always find that
! somewhere, some woman of intel,
lect or courage, or high idealism
as the case may be, has been the
uspiratonal genius of reform.
Whether in the castle or in the
vine-clad cottage. at the marts OF
trade, or at their own secluded
tiresides. women have extered an
influence that has been, ninety per
cent OF the time an influence for
betterment in human affairs.
Nowhere on Gods footstool
have the efforts of women for the
Improvement Of the world met with
greater response than in the United
States. AS the sphere of Industrial
life in this country has extended
and broadened, it has been the Wis
ion OF women. that has pointed out
the way towards the practical hui
manization OF our industrial and so
ciaI relations. The long, tedious bat
tie in this country for a federal law
against child labor, fer example
never would have been crowned
with success il it had not been for
\ "a tir>i,, <p4 al Of W.
we're attracted to the project, not
because they had any objective Of
personal gain or fame, but because
their ideals were high and they had
the courage Of their ideals.
when the young men Of the
country went forth to war, it was
the WON en- OF the country who
sn,oothed out the rough places of
discomfort and care. who nursed
the sick am wounded back 10
health, who stood at the grave-sio,
of the unkn own dead, who kept the
home fires burning on every
hearthstone OF the land. Finally in
this day Of reconstruction,2 when
men seek to reestablish their for
tunes. to forget the idealism Of :,
few years ago and center their
thoughts and activities on bus
ness triumphs and material suc<
cssses, it is the women OF our
country-those who stay at home.
and those who go to business
who sill remember the stirring
emotions OF war time and translate
into deeds OF Kindness and good
will that spirit of service which so
many Of us have loved long since,
but lost awhile.''
Mr.. kenny's sister, Miss Anna
kenny'who was located in this city
was a guest at the luncheon today.
accompanying her brother there.
In addition to the address of
Mr.. Kenny. the club greatly en-
joyed seevral negro melodies sung
by A. Y Thornton, head waiter
of the Fairmont. Fs
The next meeting Of the Quota
Club will be held at Yokowish,
the summer camp of Mr.. and Mrs
Bruce FanuS on the Valley River,
and will be the monthly evening
meeting. Plans for the meeting
will be announced later.

REACH AGREEMENT ABOUT
MANDATES FOR COLONIES.

LONDON, July IT. An agree

Britain, France and Belgium on
the various mandates for former
German colonies. Those countries
will submit to the council Of the
League Of Nations at its next ses-
sion today new draft mandates for
class A and class B territory.
The revised mandates are believ-
ed by the allied powers to embod )
all the changes requested by the
United States ard to meet the OBJ
,jections raised in Secretary Col
by's note OF February 1921.
Only one point remains unset
tied and that concerns the mis-
sionaries in French inundated ter
ritory. The French desire more
protection against political activi-
ties by missionaries. It is said the
episode in Syria last spring IN
which Charles r. Crane OF Chicago
was Involved has made the French
more emphatic on this question.
