The Turkish Nationalists have
taken over the Constantinople govern
ment and deprived the sultan Of all civ
, il power. Heretofore the Allies have rec
ognized only the sultan's government;
but when the Nationalists under the
lead of Kemal Pasha, demonstrated
their dominating strength, the Allied
commission aCquiesccd. Rafet Pasha
has been made governor of Constant
nople. The Nationalists made demand
on the Allies for the military evacua-
ton of Constantinople but this the AL
lied commission, speaking with author
ity from Great Britain and France,
promptly refused. The indications are
that Kemal Pa9ha proposes to ignore
the armistice agreement reached at
the Mudania conference. Among 9TH
er things the Turks have demanded
that warships shall not pass the
Straits without their permission, and
then genly one at time. This the AL
lies have not agreed TO. 1t is COM

Nationalists are being backed by the

As chairman of the national Demo-
cratic senatorial campaign committee,
Senator David l. Walsh on Wednesday
gave OUT this statement: The election
returns from the country cannot be
construed otherwise than as q rCpudi-
alton of the Republican party. The
landslide in New York which returns
"Al" Smith to the governors chair
making him strong presidential can
didate, and sends DR.. Copeland to the
United States senate, was not local in
character. Senator Gerry has been tri-
umphantly reelected in Rhode Island
and the overwhelming m1joritics of
1920 in Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Connecticut have been reduced al
most to the vanishing point. u is the
verdict of the voters upon the twenty
months of the Harding administration
with its record OF protection Of the
privilege interests and utter disregard
of the rights of small business and the
vast consuming public. When the
country awakcns to the iniQuity of the
tariff and taxation legislation Of the
Harding administration the rcbuko Of
today will be turned to an utter Re
publican rout in the presidential cam
plign of two years hence"
