Already the Georgia League Of
Women Voters is actively in the
get out the vote" movement and
Mrs. H. 0. Jones, president of the
local chapter of the league, will call
a meeting of the members of the To-
cal chapter in the next few days for
the purpose of making plans to aid
in the movement, Mrs. Jones stated
today to reporter.
Not only will the women members
of the local league be called into
session but the members of other
local women's organizations will be
invited to meet with the league,
Mrs. Jones says.
Since Georgia is largely Demo-
cratic, the votes cast will aid IN
bringing about a Democratic admin
istration which, in my opinion,
means prosperity to the South, says
Mrs. Jones. However, our cam
paign will not be to promte partisan
politics. It's prime object is to get
the voters-men and women-to the
polls to express their preference 10
measures by their ballot, whether
they be Republican, Democratic Or
Progressive. We feel that if every
community does it's share Georgia
will show a decided increase in the
number of votes cast.
Besides voting for president
and vice-president, Georgia's mon
and women must decide whether
Georgia viii adopt certain coustitu-
tional amendments that come up at
this election.
''The national League has offered
a loving cup which we desire to win
and to do so we must show an in"
crease of 25 per cent of votes cast
in November as compared with those
cast in 1925. l feel very sure the
Americas and Sumter county women
will do their share in getting out
the stay-at-home vote.
Az meeting to go into this sub
iect will be called by me in the next
few days and I hope every woman
interested will be present, includ-
ing the members of the league, the
woman's club and every other va
mans organization as well as the
women not affiliated with any CT
these bodies. Our women should eX-
ercise their franchise. They are
needed, they have real patriotic
service to perform. "

KIND WORDS ARE
SPOKEN FOR AMERICA

GENEVA, Oct. 8. (By The Asso-
ciated Press. The fifth assembiv
of the league of nations ended its
labors Thursday by unanimously
adopting resolution recommending
that all states accept the protocol OF
arbitration and security.
Apart from The elaboration Of the
protocol for the peaceful settleme ut
Of international disputes, the out
standing feature of the sessions was
the insistence of the delegates that
economic problem, popularity regard
ed as belonging exclusively to the
domestic Jurisdiction Of states. must
be solved on an international basis,
if all causes of war would really be
removed. This insistence was voic-
ed by several speakers, especially
those representing France; it is inn
piled in the protocol itself, and for
a time dominated the discussions Of
the European jurists as they strove
to fashion pact which would not
unduly alarm all nations which jeal-
ously guard the doctrine Of states
rights.
The idea behind the movement, as
explained to The Associated Press
correspondent by the jurists last
night is that the league, having de-
cided to outlaw all war, must logi4
cally turn its attention to all possi-
bic causes of conflict and endeavor
to eradicate them. Fed by the grow
ing spirit of decentralization as a
complement to nationalism and state
sovereignty, the jurists contend that
world opinion now demands that
certain vital problems affecting the
world as whole, such as immigra-
ton and equitable distribution of
raw materials, can no longer be left
to the exclusive control of any state
or states, but must be examined
with view to their equitable set
Element in the best interests of all,
so that economic causes Of war may
be eliminated.

WORLD IN CHAOS
IF LEAGUE FALLS
"a Far Cry From Dawes to

American Bankers

CHICAGO, Oct. 3. (By The Asso-
ciated ss.)-The old order has

Thomas Branch McAda,ns, of Rich

the association at the close of its
5Oth annual convention here Thurs

From a cold business stand
point" Mr.. McAdams continued,

chance have we to collect this princi-
pal or interest unless we assist in
the rebuilding of the business of
our debtors, that they may be le-

strength to such an exten1 as will
enable them to make satisfactory

her place at the side Of other ma

ing,
eff the League of Nations fails in
its infancy, we have no alternative
but to return to the old order. One
of the greatest of English bankers
told me recently in London, that
while England had not been partic-
ularly enthusiastic about the league
when it was originally suggested,
he now felt that if ehe league should
fail, world chos would be inevitable.
"World chaos includes the United
States, no matter how isolated@we

for T.-R. Readers

There are a number of amend

which come up in November for
ratification or rejection by the vot-

The fact that they have been
submitted to the people, that they
are amendments to the fundamental

on the electorate Of Georgia to vote
FOR or AGAINST the amendments.
