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—Wright,
Howard, George and Hardwick—
openly oppose it.
Seaborn Wright, of Rome, declares
that the proposed modification of the
Volstead act is the most important na
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: *“I 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 framers of our constitution I
stand for complete separation of statc
and church, freedom of speech, of the
press, and the peaceable assemblage
of the [M’Oph‘.”
George Opposes Entanglements.
Judge W. F. George in his platform
places the reduction of “the enormous
burden of taxation” as the first ques
tion, and second he places the foreign
policy, on which he declares: “I do
now oppose, as | have always, a com
pact with European nations whereby
this republic will either assume an ob
ligation 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 na
tions to settle their differences among
themselves, we must recognize the
danger that inheres if we permit the
Monroe Doctrine to be assailed. To!
its intergrity and preservation I com
mit myself.”
Judge G. H. Howard declares the
most important question confronting
democrats is the restoration of the
party to power, so as to remove the
burdens of the iniquitous high pro
tective tariff put upon the people by
the republican party. He says as to
the league of nations: “My position
as to foreign European entanglements
and alliances is well known to my
friends in the section in which I live,
where I 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 says in his plat
form: “I am a democrat of the olden
sclrool oi the faith of our fathers. 1
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. I 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 I am not only willing but anx
ious to see this country always exert
its influence in favor of peace through
out the world I am wholly unwilling
to guarantee the boundary lines of
other nations, or to protect any boun
dary line except our own with either
American blood or American money.”
Hon. John T. Boifeuillett’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
ment.
Hon. John R. Cooper pledges him
self, if elected, to exert his influence
toward reducing railroad passenger
fares and f{reight rates.

GEORGIA HAS THE FIRST
WOMAN U. S. SENATOR
Mrs. Watson Declined Honor, and
‘Mrs. Felton Was Named.
Georgia kas the distinction of hayv
ing the first woman U. S. senator in
the history of the republic.
Governor Hardwick: tendered the
appointment to Mrs. Thomas E. Wat
son to fill the vacancy in that office
caused by the death of her distinguish
ed husband, but she declined the hon
or. The governor thereupon appointed
Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Cartersville.
Mrs. Felton, a distinguished Geor
gia woman, recognized ‘for political
sagacity by President Harding, will
be the first woman ever to bear the
title of United ~States senator. The
title will be honorary, because the sen
ate is not new in session and will not
convene until December, by which
time a successor to Senator Watson
will have been elected.
The famous wceman, now in the eve
ning of life—having reached her cigh
ty-seventh birthday last June—seemed
to forget herself in her expression of
appreciation for the honor. Her only
thought appeared to be of the great
victory that had come to American
womankind. For Mrs. Felton had
spent her years in a tireless fight for
equal political rights for women, and
she had lived to see her fondest dream
realized—a woman with the title of
United States senator.
As she expressed it—
“A member of the greatest and
most distinguished legislative body in
the world.”
Mrs. Felton was joyful in the fact
that it remained Yor her native state
to thus advance women politically.

CALIFORNIAN WILL WALK
THIRTY MILES ON WATER
Using ;\irlight- pontoons attached to

from the mainland to Santa Catalina
islands, a distance of 30 miles.
Nearly everybody in Gastonia and
vicinity either knows or has heard of
J. F. Clemmer, the building contrac
tor, of 311 East Third street. Not on
ly does Mr. Clemmer rank A-1 as a
builder, but he is also highly respect
ed and esteemed as a man and citizen.
Mr. Clemmer had suffered much an
noyance from rheumatism for a year
or more, and not being able to find
relief from other sources he finally
resorted to Tanlac. But let hinf tell
his own story. Here is his statement:
“T was suffering from rheumatism
so badly in my arm and shoulder that
[ could hardly move. I was in such
pain that it was almost impossible for
me to get anything done. It had_ren
dered me almost helpless and, as noth
ing did me any good I became very
much distressed.
“My wife kept insisting that I give
Tanlac a trial, and I have been thank
ful a thousand times that finally 1
took her advice. After I finished my
third bottle the rheumatism was gone
and while that has been a year ago
now I've never had the least trouble
since. I don't know what Tanlac will
do for others, but it certainly did the
work for me.”
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists.—adv.

The Law of Habit
Habit is the deepest law of nature. We first k.
our habits, and then our habits make us. ;
It's essentially as easy to form one habit as anothe,
—as easy to be habitually prudent and saving as hah;;.
ually extravagant.
Train yourself to save a reasonable portion of your
income, and such saving will soon become well nigh as
automatic as the heart action itself. T
We have to form this habit ourselves—no one el
can confer 1t upon us.
Remember the saving habit 1s worth while.
