ALL CANDIDATES
OPPOSE THE LEAGUE
ALL SENATORIAL ASPIRANTS
MAKE VIEWS KNOWN IN
PLATFORM STATEMENTS.

All six OF the candidates for the
United States senate have issued plat
forms. and all oppose the league OF
nations. Not one among them speaks
a word for it, while fOur-Wrght,
Howard George and Hardwick-
openly oppose it.
Seaborn Wright, of Rome, declares
that the proposed modification of the
Volstead act is the most important ma
ional issue now facing the American
people. and that unless the supporters
of the act awake from their slumber
congress is liable TO pass an amend
ment authorizing the sale OF wine and
beer. which would degenerate into the
sale OF 100 per cent liquor. He sets
forth his position as to the league as
follows: Il stand with Washington
for friendly relations with European
and all foreign countries, but against
entangling alliances with any which
would destroy or impair the complete
sovereignty OF the United States, and
with the trainers OF our constitution |
stand for complete separation OF state
and church, freedom OF speech, OF the
press, and the peaCeable assemblage
OF the people
George Opposes Entanglements.
Judge w. F. George in his platform
places the reduction OF the enormous
burden OF taxation as the first ques-
ton, and second he places the foreign
policy, on which he declares: Il do
now oppose, as | have always, COM
pact with European nations whereby
this republic will either assume an OBJ
legation to protect the boundaries OF
foreign countries or settle their inter
national differences. America was
founded by and for Americans. My
convictions on this subject are deep
rooted and unShakable. While freely
conceding the right OF European ma
tons to settle their differences among
themselves we must recognize the
danger that inheres if we permit the
Monroe Doctrine to be assailed. To
its integrity and preservation | COM
NIT myself
Judge c. H. Howard declares the
most important question confronting
democrats is the restoration OF the
burdens of the Ubiquitous high pro-
teCtive tariff put upon the people by
the republican party. He says as to
as to foreign European entanglements
and alliances is well known to my
friends in the section in which | live,
where | took an outspoken stand
against the league of nations almost
at the sacrifice of my political life at
that time"
Of Olden School.
Governor Hardwick saws in his plat
form: Il am democrat of the olden
school OF the faith Of our fathers.
believe in a rigid adherence, in our
foreign relations, to doctrine first an
nounced by George Washington and
followed, without question, by all of
the fathers in the early days OF the re-
public, namely, that this republic
should maintain, as far as possible and
practicable, friendly relations with all
nations, and avoid entangling alliances
with any. | can see nothing that we
might gain and much that we might
lose now, as in Washington's day, by
involving ourselves either in the jeal-
ousies or quarrels OF other nations.
While | am not only willing but anX-
ious to see this country always exert
its influence in favor OF peace through
out the world | am wholly unwilling
to guarantee the boundary lines OF
other nations, or to protect any boun-
Diary line except our own with either
American blood or American money"
Hon. John T. Boifeuilett's platform
was issued several days ago, in which
he calls attention to his experience
and familiarity with national affairs,
and appeals to the voters on his merits
and not because of any factional align
mcnt.
Hon. John R. Cooper pledges him
self, if elected, to exert his influence
toward reducing railroad passenger
fares and freight rates.
