Candidates Resort 70 PIatitudes
in Answers to League of
Voters QUESTIONABLE.
BY f. q. ORR

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Oid you
ever know a person whom you
couldn't pin down to a single issue.
who had such a flow of platitudinous
language you felt yourself under tho
influence Of some drug, while you
listened to him?
1t seems to me that the answers
given by most of the candidates for
election to the Senate or the House,
to the questions put them by the
National League Of Women Voters,
are Of that kind.
I visited the headquarters of ths
National League. They showed me
the compiled results Of the questions
asked the candidates in Nebraska.
The Republican nominee for United
States Senator, r. 3. Howell, says he
approves the Washington conference
affirmations." Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock,
the Democratic nominee, has no state
ment at all to make on that subject.
Mr.. Howell says we should have a
hand in world affairs, so far as our
interests dictate, beyond that so far
as we may without prejudicing our
interests" Maybe that means some
thing to somebody; 1t certainly means
nothing to me.
And this is a fair sample

fleet pair Of heels he showed, taking
into account his heaviness Of body.
Duchemin saw him swerve from his
first course and steer for q vehicle
standing at some Enthusiastically
the conveyance which had brought
the sighteers to view the spectacle of
Montpellier-le-Vieux by moonlight.
Waiting in the middle OF a broad
avenue of misshapen obelisks, d.
lapidated barouche on either side its
pole dropped two sorry specimens of
crowbait. And their panied amaze
ment was so unfeigned that Duche-
min laughed aloud when the fat rogue
bounded to the box. snatched up reins
and whip and curled a cruel lash
round their bony TANKS.
Since it took them some moments
to come to their senses and appreci-
ate that all this was not an evil
dream. Duchemin's hands were
clutching the back of the carriage
when the horses broke suddenly into
ar awkward, numbering gallop.
Tho moment Duchemin found his
own feet in the swaying vehicle he
leaped on the shoulders of the other
and dragged him backwards from the
box.
What followed was not very clear
to him, a melange of impressions. The
mock-American fought like devil IN
chained. The animals at the pole ran
away in good earnest, that wretched
barouche rolled and pitched like rud-
derless shell in a crazy sea, the two
men floundered in its we'll like fish
In a pail.
They fought by no rules, with no
science, but bit and kicked and
gouged and wrenched and stuck as
occasion offered and each to the best
Of his ability. Duchemin caught
glimpses OF a face hideously dis
torted with working features and dis
figured with smears of SCOT through
which insane eyeballs rolled and
glared in the moonlight.
Then a hand like a vice gripped
his windpipe. he was on his back.

floor, a thumb was feeling for one

Still. Duchemin knew as many
tricks OF hand to hand fighting as the
other perhaps a few more. And then

they just kept on running.

when they quit running and sat down
to rest.

Freddie Fox.

agreed Willie Weazle. land because IT
IS all Raggedy Ann and Raggedy

our daddies can know the Raggedy's

THAT IS a very good idea, Willie
Weazle," said Freddie Fox. Tets start
and hunt them now"
So Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle
hunted with their keen little noses
until they followed Raggedy Ann and
Raggedy Andy to where they were
sitting by the laughing brook watch
ing the little fish jumping into the air.
'Ha, kar' cried Freddie Fox as he
caught Raggedy Ann.
'Ha. har' cried Willie Weazle as he
caught Raggedy Andy.
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
wiggled and twisted, but Freddie Fox

So Freddie Fox and Willie WeaZle,
without even knocking, carried Rag

into the two funny little old wom-
ems house.
The two funny little old women
locked the door, "click. clickr' and

they said.
Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle did
not know what to do when they saw
the two funny little old women hug
the Raggedys, so Freddie Fox and VIII
lie Weazle went to the door and
scratched to get out. 'No. you don't,
cried the two funny little old women.
And running to the kitchen, they both
came back with pan cake paddle.
Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle never
looked behind them when the two
funny little old women unlocked the
door and let them run home.
1T served you just right" said
Mrs. Freda Fox and Mrs. Wilbur
WeaZle when Freddie and Willie told
them how the two funny little old
women had paddywhacked them.
Now you can both wash your neck
and ears and go to bed for the rest of
the day, and if you are quiet, we will
ask daddy not to paddywhack you
again. And Freddie Fox and Willie
Weazle did just this. for the pancake

Women Voters have work to do which
in certain respects resembles that Of
a presiding elder. Each Of them has
a district-the country IS divided into
five such distrtcts-and IS expected to
visit local leagues IN order TO keep one
unit informed Of what other units are
doing and to resolve, now and then,

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1z.-Mrs.

Such & man, such woman, is a
Stacker. Men and women who will
not vote are doing all they can to
destroy democracy, for no cOun-
