LEAGUE DEFEAT NOT PARTISAN

WashingtOn-"In order that
the country may keep the important
facts of recent history straight, it is
unfortunately necessary from time to
time to correct gross misstatements
disseminated by the Democratic
press" declares the Republican Pub
licity Association, through the Presi-
dent of that organization, Hon. JOna-
than Bourne, Jr., in a statement COM
menting upon the assertion of a Dem
ocratic editor that the politicians de-
! feated the league of nations purely
for partisan reasons.
Now let us analyze that state
ment," says the Association. "If the
league was defeated purely for par
tisan reasons, then that was the ex-
elusive reason for it's defeat-the only
purpose and motive actuating those
who voted against ratification. If that
statement is true, then those who vot-
ed against the league disregarded
their cOuntry's welfare and were
lguided solely by party prejudice. If
that statement is true, then those who
voted to defeat the league were un-
patriotic.
Now notice where the assertion
of our Democratic friend leads him.
There was a national election follow
ing the defeat of the league, and the |
league was the chief issue in that !
election. The people voted their SON
timents upon the league when they |
voted for candidates for the Presiden- |
cy and for the United States Senate.
Warren G. Harding, who, as a
member of the Senate, voted against |
ratification of the league as submitted
by President Wilson, was elected |
President by a vote of 16,OOO,O0O to g.
100000 for his Democratic Opponent
who was at one with Mr.. Wilson. Did
the people of America do that purely
for partisan reasons? Were the peo-
pie of America as unpatriOtic as our
Democratic friend would have us be-
Iieve the politicians were?
Among the Senators who voted
against the league were Brandegee of
Cummins of Iowa, Cur
is of Kansas, Lenroot of Wisconsin,
Noses of New Hampshire, SmOOt of
Jtah, PenrOse of Pennsylvania, Wads-
worth of New York and Watson of In
liana-men scattered throughout the ,
United States. All of them were re-
elected by normal or excessive plural
ties The people of their states re- /
lected these Senators, thus ratifying
heir action in voting against the Y
eague? I
eff the league was defeated for a

But the results of the d

From every viewpoint, the action Ia
the opponents of the league has ts
zen upheld and approved by the peo- m
e of the several states and the peO- te
e of the nation as a whole. An in

ague is, therefore, an indictment of oi

The assertion Of Gov. Reilly of Por

that attacks upon him had been start
ed by dfsgruntled office holders whom
he had elected from power is ques-
toned in a statement issued yesterday
by Martin Travieso. mayor of San

removal of the governor according to

Mayor TraIieso's statement said. II
part:
The men who are demanding the
removal of Gov. Reilly have never
held any office from which they could
be removed by the governor. The
president Of the senate OF Porto Rico,
the resident commissioner in Con-
gress and the mayor of San Juan can
not be reached by the governor in his
mad and stupid campaign against the
majority party OF Porto Rico. These
men have no personal resentment
against the governor.

LAKE SURVIVORS
UNABLE TO TRAVEL
Suffering From Cold and
Hunger SO Intense Recov-
cry Is Retarded.

By iha Associated Press.
SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich. Decen-
ber 20.-A week may clapse before
all of the survivors of the ill-fated
tug Reliance are able to travel to
their homes. So intense was their suf-
fering from cold and hunger after
their tiny craft was disabled and
sbandoned at the Lizard Islands. i,
was said here today. The twenty
persons who reached here last night
are under the care of physicians and
will remain at a hospital and hotels
until they have fully recovered.
One man is in serious condition
with both hands and both feet frozen.
He is Walter Longacre.
With the arrival of these twenty
survivors the thirty-siX on board the
Reliance when she was disabled have
been accounted for. Seven reached
the 500 sunday. two are in Canadian
lumber camp. three still are aboard
the tug Gray. which is engaged in
taking off Superior light keepers for
the winter. and four lost their lives.
Hardship on Island.
Yesterdays arrivals suffered great
hardships before they were found
Monday on one of the bleak islands
near the taUtulau SHbIt
The first day after the wreck
brought the death of three of their
companions-Capt John Mcpherson,
Fred Regan and Gus Johns. who were
swept overheard as they tried TO
launch a lifeboad. Only one of the
boats got away safely. 1t carried the
eight men and one woman who
reached the mainland last week.
The following day it became ap-
parent the Reliance could not long
withstand the pounding of the hlgh
sea and raft was constructed OF
barrel slaves and stairway torn
from the tug.
The storm still ragged so fiercely
that little hope of landing on the
raft was entertained until William

which the raft was pulled. II was

could, board the raft at time. The
entire day was required for the party
to disembark.
Below Zero and No shelter.
On land they still faced dangers as
great as those on the raging waters
of Superior The temperature was
below zero, there was no shelter and
ONLY the ScantieSt of food supplies.
Continued cold weather might block
efforts of rescue craft to reach them
until too late.
But they existed for five days on
few cans of meat. two slices of bread
each and scraps of water-soaked cake
brought from the tug. A fire in the
open and a hut constructed out of
brush constituted their only protec-
ton from the storm that continued
during their entire stay on the island.
The storm abated yesterday, but
severe cold weather continues and all
craft on the upper lakes are making
headway with great difficulty. Only
one vessel remains to pass through
the American locks, which probably
will be closed for the season today or
tomorrow. The Canadian canals will
remain open until the end of this
week.
