CHANGE
TO SWAY ELECTION
Many Political and Economic
Factors Have Entered Pres
ent Campaign.
"REGULARS" ARE UNEASY
Party Lines Shaken by Spirit of
Revolt and Desire for
Change.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,

(This is the first of a series Of daily
articles to be written by David Lawrence
as he canvasses political and economic con-
ditions in twenty-one northern states from
coast to coast between now and election
day.
Nearly four years have elapsed
since the guns ceased firing on the
western front and the peoples of the
world began to turn governments up
side down in a desperate effort to
achieve quickly the normalcy of pre-
war days.
How far has the restlessness Of the
electorate been checked, if at all?
How vital are the murmurs Of dis
satisfaction today as compared with
the gloomy months of low farm
prices and unemployment which
started with the painful processes of
detiation just after the 1920 presiden-
tial election? Will the republicans
survive the spirit Of change which
has been working to the disadvantage
everywhere?
A Milestone Year.
Few campaigns have had more in
teresting questions to answer. This
year is a milestone in the era Of re-
construction after the great war. All
the ills Of an electorate irritated by
wars inconvenience were combined
in the verdict of 1920. Much of the
vote was in protest against acts made
necessary by war, particularly bur-
densome taxation. Is the need Of
heavy taxes better understood today?
The answer to this question will be
registered in many a congressional
district on November Z. 1t is the
writer's intention to make survey
Of the situation in twenty-one north
ern states, where, If political revo-
luton is in sight, the result may have
a bearing on the attitude of Congress
in the winter session and on the
presidential contest of 1924.
One can get preconceived Ideas Of
the public attitude by living in the
Washington atmosphere constantly,
and nothing is more refreshing to the
student of politics than to get away
from the standards by which politi-
clans measure the public pulse and
study at first hand the currents Of
thought in all walks Of life.
For one thing, the republican leader
ship here is convinced 1t will retain
control of Congress. In those words
retain control may be read an ad-
mission that the republican majori-
ties will be cut down. There are

GREECE DESPERATE
AS HER HOPES FAIL
Despairing of British Aid to
Keep Turks From Invasion
of Thrace.
NATIONAL PERIL IS SEEN
Fear Moslems May March Even to
Athens-Reports Of Up
heaval Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, September 23.-Greece. in
the grip of great national peril, is
beginning to fear that she must ride
alone. She counted on Great Brit
aims military assistance to prevent
the Turks from invading Thrace, but
even that hope is fading rapidly.
With economic distress increasing
and the prospect of a Turkish army
marching through Thrace and per-
haps even to the Hellenic peninsula,
the Greek people, as a whole. seem
in no gracious mood. They whisper
together in the Athenian cafes and
speculate darkly as to the future.
See Peril to Athens.
One representative Greek said to-
day: What Is to prevent Mustapha
Kemal Pasha from marching to
Athens himself and signing the peace
here? Could our disorganized and
poorly equipped army halt him."
An optimist replied: Greece will
die to the last man rather than let
the Turk invade Greece proper
The newspapers agree that Greece
is isolated. irrespective OF whether
they are of the Constantine party or
of the veniZelos group. They de-
mand the unification of public
opinion. It is understood that the
as precautionary meas
ure has decided to proclaim martial
law a few days before the convo-
cation Of parliament, which. is sched-
uled to meet only after the Or
Of the new army for
Thrace. This army will be composed
of younger men. The class of 1928
will exclude men of Mussulman
origin.
Upheaval Reports Denied.
Reports of a ministerial upheaval
have been officially denied. Owing
to the difficulty of agreeing on suit
able appointees. Thrace is still with
out a governor and Constantinople
without a Greek high commissioner.
Conservative opinion in Athens is
In the necessity of an
early convocation Of an international
of near eastern affairs.
Every days delay in the failure to
adjust the Balkan situation engenders
chaos and increasing bitterness in the
near east, 1t Is claimed. The Greeks
want no half-hearted agreements
like the treaty of Sevres, they say.
It is the opinion here that a meeting
like either Genoa or The Hague con-
ferences would only prove disastrous.
There is a tendency to subordinate
the old differences between the Con-
stantine and the Venizelos groups to
interest as g. whole.

GENEVA, September 23.-The
question of revising article X of
the league of nations covenant or
eliminating it altogether was
passed on to the fourth assembly
by the present assembly today
without other observation or
recommendation than the subject
be considered in all it's bearings.
The Canadian delegation showed
no disposition to push Charles ].
Doherty's amendment eliminating
the article.
NJ. Barthelemy Of France said
article X ought not to be changed
in the hope Of bringing the United
States into the league. There was
no assurance that a change would
have this effect, he declared, and
in any case the article ought not
to be changed until the United
States was on the scene to delib-
crate upon it with the rest Of the

Ioosa Addresses Birmingham

the relation between the proposed
clinic and feeble mindedness. Ho
stated that scientific tests had
shown that from seven to thirty
thousand people in Alabama were of
subnormal mentality, and that since
il is impossible for the state to take
active charge in helping these good
people, it Is up to the various COM
mnnities to push the work.
The commonwealth fund OF New

posed to establish in Birmingham a
clinic for the study of mental hy-
giene throughout this section of the

EDITOR TALKS ON
PORT AMENDMENT
Shows Advantage of Water
Route in Shipment OF
Cotton

r. G. Stephens, editor of the South
ern Democrat, Oneonta, Blount
county, says the tremendous ma
jority given for the port aid amend
ment by Blount was not only due to
education on the subject. but that
Blount. shortly after the election had
an object lesson in what the War
rior river and the port OF Mobile
mean, to the inland counties OF the
state.
In the early fall Manchester, n.
H., cotton mill representative visited
Oneonta and vicinity and bought
/, 900 bales of cotton, paying one cent
NOR than the then stated market
price. He said he was enabled to do
this because the cotton was to BE-
shipped down the Warrior river via
port of Birmingham and from ship
out of Mobile to destination at a
considerable saving in the all-rail
rate.
The older of the staple profited by
the lower freight rate and that gave
them a more favorable attitude to-
ward port aid than they had had be-
fore, says Mr. Stephens. The result
was that Blount gave a large ma
jority for port aid in the last cleo
ton as 1t gave against the amend
ment in the election of two years
ago.

IS MAKING APPEAL.
IN QUIET MAINE R.
Institution Is IS Per Cent
Self Sustaining, But Needs
Supplementary
Funds

The annual solicitation OF the
! board of directors Of the Young
Women's Christian association for
necessary assistance in completin :
the budget for the coming year is in
progress in Birmingham this week.
As usual, however, the solicitation
is being carried on the quiet but
effective way that so notably char
acterize the work of the well known
women who direct the affairs of the
Birmingham association.
The Birmingham y. W. c. Ais APP
proXimately rs per cent self sustain
ing because Of the various depart
ments from which revenues are Sc
cured. Certain classes of work, how
ever. make it necessary to call upon
the associations friends for assist
ance. In the past the ladies of the
board have had little difficulty in
meeting their requirements, although
there is certain extension work
which they are anxious to enlarge
as soon as the budget Will permit.
During the past year there has not
been quite as much money as was
needed and as a result some of the
secretarial work has had to be com
bined instead of having separate sec
tetaries for the various branches.
1t is hoped that this years solicita-
ton will have such results that the
full scope of the associations work
can be carried out for the next IL
months.
The Birmingham public is well in
formed in general way of work
done by the association here. AS
the ladies OF the board point IL is
TO great extent preventive and 20
extending Tronar oar. aud qurroustJ
ings for young women who are alone
in the city. In addition to the dor
mitories maintained at the main CEN
trail building the association has n
downtown lunch room for young
women which has filled a very wide
spread need. Lunches are here pro-
vided of wholesome and delightful
quality to young women at very
moderate fee. The travellers aid.
maintained at the railroad stations
lis also very effective and valuable
assistance is given to young women
who may happen TO be travelling
alone.
At the central building are also
maintained the reading and reception
rooms, the gymnasium and training
work of various kinds. The board
expresses the hope that tho people
of Birmingham will feel free TO call
at the central building at any time
to become more familiar with the
details of what they are doing
