LEAGUE IS FAILURE.
MYS HARDING IN
URGINGHEW PACT
Republican Nominee De'
dares Issue Is Clear-Cut
Between Cox and Himself.
Leaders Praise Speech
MARION, Ohio, Aug. 29.—T0 the
Cheers of a vast throng of Indiana
and Minnesota Republicans, Senator
Warren. G Harding Saturday dismiss
ed, the League of Nations as a hope
less wreck and proposed to erect in
its stead an improved The Hague tri
bunal combined with whatever good
can be culled from the existing
league covenant.
His denunciations of Democratic
•’wiggling and wobbling” brought
shouts of approval and the yard in
front of Senator Harding’s house re
sounded with cheering when he de
clared the present league dead be
yond hope of restoration.
Party leaders assembled for the
occasion were enthusiastic, declaring
that Senator Harding had swung
into an offensive into the league
issue.
Senator Harding traversed almost
the entire ground in his discussion
of American foreign policy.
Much significance was attached to
his declaration that "what is in my
mind is the wisdom of calling into
real conference the ablest and
most experienced minds of the coun
try, from whatever walks of life
they may come and without regard
to party affiliation, to formulate a
definite, practical plan along the
lines already indicated for the con
sideration of the controling foreign
powers.”
”1 yield to no man in willingness,
aye in eagerness, to render the
greatest conceivable assistance to
the stricken people of Europe,” Sen
ator Harding said. "I include all of
them and speak with a genuinely
sympathetic heart, whether it is to
mention devastated France, or sorely
tried Italy, or nobly struggling Po
land, or distracted and misguided
Russia, or gallant little Belgium, 01
pitiably deceived Austria, or the
ruthless mvader, Germany, which
came to-' the supreme tragedy
through a leadership which brought
disaster to her misguided people.”
Because of these sympathies, he
voted for the league with reserva
tions, and he added, would do so
again confronted by the same con
ditions and the same alternatives.
I>eague is Dead
"But the conditions have changed,’-
he continued, "we know that the
league constituted at Versailles is
utterly impotent as a preventive of
wars. It is so obviously impotent
that it has not even been tried. It
could not survive a single test. The
original league, mistakenly conceiv
ed and Unreasonably insisted upon,
has undoubtedly passed beyond the
possibility of restoration. The ma
ture judgment of the w-orld will be
that it deserved to pass for the very
dimple reason thaX contrary to all
of the tendencies developed by the
civilizing process of the. world, it
rested upon the power of might, not
right.”
Characterizing the League of Na
tions as "utterly impotent” in the
matter of preventing war, Senator
Harding urged as a substitute The
Hague tribunal with "teeth in
it.’’ He said he was irrevocably
opposed to the league plan while
Governor Cox, he contended, was an
advocate of the plan on the basis
announced by President Wilson.
This division of opinion, he said, was
the whole difference between the
governor and himself.
"That is the whole difference be
tween us, but is a vital one, be
cause it involves tne disparity be
tween a world court of justice, sup
plemented by a world association
for conference? on the one hand, and
rSe! douncjl of the league on, the
Harding said.
2 More Newspapers
Swing in Favor of
Senator Hoke Smith
As indicative of the growing tide
of sentiment in favor of Senator
Smith, his headquarters point to the
telegram received today from Hon.
Volney Williams, of Waycross, as
follows;.
"The Alma Times and Jesup Senti
nel, both anti-Smith papers, came
out editorially this week for Senator
Smith.”
This is in line with the course of
numbers of newspapers all over
Georgia, who have formerly opposed
Senator Smith.
As it is bbing more and more wide
ly recognized that the race is en
tirely between Smith and Watson,
numbers of papers over Georgia
which have formerly opposed Sena
tor Smith are lining up behind him
as the logical and only candidate to
heat Watson. The Smith headquar
ters appreciate greatly the action of
these two leading south Georgia pa
pers. It has already been more than
probable that every county but one
in the Eleventh congressional district
would line up back of Senator Smith,
and the action of the Alma Times
and the Jesup Sentinel renders the
victory in this district all the more

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. A
slump in the bituminous coal out

lished the preceding week was
shown in a report today by the geo
logical survey, placing the week’s
total at 10,981,000 tons.
-The decline was attributed in
part to the new outbreak of the day

Candidates Are Active
As Georgia Campaign
Approaches Its Close
CEDARTOWN, Ga„ Aug. 28. —In
his speech here Saturday before an
overflow audience in the Polk county
courthouse Governor Dorsey declared
that his recent collection of tobacco
and other special taxes was -ab
solutely necessary to sgve the state,
from a desperate fjoanflal situation.
He told a pathetic story of the
various institutions of the state ana
of their need of better facilities, of
youthful inmates without proper
clothing, and asserted that he col
lected these taxes because there was
no other way to provide for these un
fortunates.
“I had two alternatives, sand the
governor. “It was a question of
either raising valuations or collecting
these taxes, and I chose the latter
course., and have no apologies to
make. Taxes on visible property in
Georgia are too high now, and there
is no reason why you and I should
pay our just proportion of the
taxes while others in the state are
not bearing their just part of the
burden.”
The governor declared that he
made an effort to have the legis
lature decrease the tax rate on vis
ible property, but failel. This meas
ure’s death, he said, was ont his
fault.
While the governor’s audience was
one of the largest he has yet ad
dressed, there was an unmistakable
absence of enthusiasm. His sallies,
which he used in his references to
Senator Hoke Smith, provoked laugh
ter, but the rest of his remarks fell
upon an audience, a large portion
of which appeared to be anti-Dor
sey.
Defends Veto
Attorney Homer Watkins intro
duced the governor, who launched
immediately into his usual review
of his gubernatorial administration.
Then the governor took up his
veto of the measure exempting from
inheritance taxation the Steiner be
quest to the Scottish Rite Hospital
for Crippled Children.
“My political opponents have
been fly-specking the great adminls
• tration over which I had the honor
of presiding and they now say that
I should be defeated because I ve
toed this bill.
“Mr. Steiner .was a good fellow
and a wealthy man, having become
rich in the brewery business and
left a part of his estate to this
splendid institution. I vetoed the
measure exempting this, bequest
from inheritance ’taxation because
the attorney general and the state
tax commissioner said It wag uncon
stitutional. I saw no reason why
the Steiner estate should be exempt
ed when other estates were being
made to pay.”
The governor called attention to a
letter from Rev. Charles L. Bass,
head of the Masonic order in Geor
gia, in which he declared that he
would support the' governor for the
United States senate.
HOLDER IS URGED
TO STAY IN RACE
The following statement was
given out for publication Saturday
afternoon by the campaign head
quarters of John N. Holder, candi
date for governor:
“From Colquitt, Blakely, Bain

fact, all points in south Georgia at
which John Holder has spoken the
past week in the interest of his can

effort of the Atlanta Constitution

friends everywhere—and he has

the result of this attack upon him—
have urged him to stick to the fight,
promising to stand staunchly by

“Mr. Holder has needed no urg

ADDRESS BY HARDWICK
DELIVERED AT PEMBROKE
PEMBROKE. Ga., Aug. 28.—Thom
as W. Hardwick, addressing a good
sized audience of voters here today
in the interests of his campaign for
governor, predicted his sweeping vic
tory on September 8, the day, he
said, which would sound the “death
ki'ell of boss rule in Georgia politics.’’
From one end of the state to the
other, declared Mr. Hardwick, the
people have turned out to hear him,
and the “wool hat boys” have pledged
of sudden change from skirts upon
feminine psychology.
The wholesale appearance of hik
ing trousers has been accompanied,
many charge, by an almost complete
discard of old-fashioned modesty.
The typical costume of the girl
tramper here is tight trousers and
leggings, shirt waists, and kerchiefs
worn gypsy-fashion over the hair.
Scores of official complaints assert
that an alarmingly increasing num
ber of these girls contrive shocking
variations in costume, show disre
gard for propriety, spoon openly and
display utter contempt for the old
standards of decorum.
Others defend the fair hikers, say
ing that conduct is a matter of in
dividual training and sensibility, and
has nothing to do with the adoption
of trousers, and that the great ma
jority comport themselves properly.
themselves to put him in the gover
nor's chair.
“This year the honest men of Geor
gia are going to write their own
tickets,” he declared. “There are no
bosses and no little subbosses going
to control the state politics or the
local politics. They can’t coerce the
free men of Georgia. The day of au-
U tocracy jn .Georgia politics is gone,
l thank God!'’-
Mr. Hardwick declared he is al
j ready as good as elected.

clear majority in a poll taken in
the Kimball House lobby Friday
afternoon. The poll was taken by

ed to hold up his hand as the
name of his favorite candidate was
called. The poll resulted as fol
lows:
Hoke Smith—43.
Hugh ‘M. Dorsey—36. ■
Thomas E. Watson —4.
Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Condra con

the Kimball House where their fol
lowers naturally congregate.
DOUGLAS, Ga., Aug. 28.—The po
litical situation in Coffee county
seems to be rapidly crystallizing for
the approaching primary. In the
race for United States penate, Sen
ator Hoke Smith is now conceded by

The Watson strength in the county
is weakening and the Smith strength
is gaining. The supporters of Sena

every day. Governor Dorsey will
poll ‘only a light and complimentary
vote in Coffee county. His friends
are not active at all except in one
small district.

PROVISION FOR
VOTE IN PRIMARY
The following letter has been sent
to James J. Flynt, chairman of the
state Democratic executive commit

frage association, -following a meet
ing Friday afternoon, at which it
was determined to ask the execu

“Dear Sir:
"The 19th federal amendment to
the constitution of the United States
which gives to the women of the
United States the right, so long
withheld, that enables them to vote
in all elections, has been at last
ratified by Tennessee, the glorious
36th state. The women of that state
have voted in all municipal elec
tions for the past two years, but
the women of Georgia have not been
so fortunate. We were not permitted
by “the men who control” to. regis
ter, although begged them, the legis
lators, to pass an enabling act on
the 23d day of June, 1920. Now,
only ten days remain before the pri
mary election on September 8, 1920,
comes, and nothing has been done to
assure the women of Georgia that
they can vote in that election or in
the November general election.
“We beg to act upon Mr. Fermor
Barrett’s request, viz.. to call a
meeting of the state Democratic ex
ecutive committee at once and make
such provision as will accomplish
that which right and justice to the
women citizens of Georgia have now
the right to demand. Section 1. "The
right of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridg

Many Georgia Papers
Urge Re-election of
Senator Hoke Smith
A Campaign of Misrepresentations
ATHENS BANNER: Georgia has
its Hardwick; its Watson; its go
pher; its reptiles, but of all the evils
with which the state is infested,
Senator Hoke Smith outpoints them
in hypocrisy, demagogy and deceit.
He owns a controlling interest in one
of the largest dailies in the state
and he has interest and mortgages
on some of the lesser lights in the
newspaper firmament in this state.
These feebly edited papers during
the campaign are being edited from
Atlanta by paid employes of Hoke
Smith. Read The Journal and you
can count all the newspapers in this
state supporting Hoke Smith on the
Angers of one hand. You will find
daily clippings from them published
in the personal organ of Senator
Smith.
For the’.-'information of Editor
Rowe, of- , the Athens Banner, the
exchange editor of The Journal in-
him to count “on the fingers
of one hand” the following Georgia
newspapers, which are actively sup
porting Senator Smith for re-elec
tion:
, ; „ Dailies
The Macon News.
The Albany Herald.
The Americus Times-Recorder.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The Augusta Herald.
The Dublin Courier-Herald.
The Moultrie Observer.
The Athens Herald.
The Atlanta Journal.
Weeklies
The Madison Madisonian.
The Walton News.
The Conyers Times.
The Boyston Becord.
The Alpharetta Free Press.
The Nashville Herald.
The Bockmart News.
The Carnesville Herald.
The Catoosa Becord.
The Manchester Mercury.
The Pike County Journal.
The Coffee County Progress.
The Ocilla Star.
The Elberton Star.
The Winder News.
The Gainesville Eagle.
The Boston Bostonian.
And probably others.
The editors of Georgia newspa
pers, regardless of political align
ments, will hardly agree with Ed
itor Rowe that the above-named
newspapers are either “feebly ed
ited” or that they are owned or con
trolled by Senator Smith. As for
The Atlanta Journal, Editor Rowe
could easily find out, if he does not
already know, that Seridtor Smith
sold his stock in The Journal many
years ago,, and that fife has not a
penny’s interest in the paper either
in stock, bonds, mortgages or in any
other way.
Central May Spend
$2,000, OOOin Columbus
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 28.—Mavor
J. L. Couch is quoted as having
said that if Eleventh street is closed
its plans to elevate its tracks for
several blocks, the Central of Geor
gia railroad is willing to expend a
sum estimated at $2,000,000.
High officials of that railroad
will be in the city next Wednesday
and .will discuss at that time the
proposition with the board of aider
men.
The city of Columbus together
with the railroad company has plan
ned to lower Eleventh street, mak
ing an underpass for vehicles both
entering and leaving the city. The
elevated tracks would give two safe
entrances and exits. The inability
of the railroad company to start the
work by March 1921, is the only pos
sible hitch that can prevent carry
ing out th’e plan, according t o th“
mayor. The official said that some
thing would have to be done at an
early date in regard to eliminating
the Eleventh street crossing.

“I have two daughters and three
sons married on the other side.

natural to believe there’ll be more
in time; It seems to run in the

People Leave Hall
As Dorsey Speaks
To Carroll Voters
CARROLLTON, Ga., Aug. 28. —A
general exodus from the Carroll
county courthouse during the course
of his remarks, was the outstanding
feature of Governor Dorsey’s ad
dress here Saturday afternoon. The
governor was in the midst of a,
scathing denunciation of his oppon
ents when he was forced to halt his
speech while more than one hundred
persons filed out of the courtroom.
Prominent citizens in remarking
upon the governor’s meeting, declar
ed it was in striking contrast with
a meeting held in the courthouse
Saturday morning, when Edgar Wat
kins, a prominent Atlanta attorney,
held a large audience almost spell
bound for more than an hour as he
reviewed the senatorial record of
Senator Smith, and unmistakably
convinced his hearers that the state
of Georgia would commit a griev
ous error in displacing the senior
senator during this critical era In
the nation’s history.
Governor Dorsey was more than
one hour late in reaching Carroll
ton, having stopped at Buchanan,
Ga., en route from Cedartown, where
he addressed a large, but rather un
enthusiastic crowd in the Haralson
county courthouse.
Several miles out from Carrollton,
the automobile of Judge James Bell,
of the city court of Carrollton, in
which the governor was being es
corted to Carrollton, swerved from
the road, and was thrown down a
deep embankment. The governor
narrowly escaped Injury, as did
Judge Bell and his young daughter.
Defends His Veto
Governor Dorseys Carrollton audi
ence was a representative one, con
spicuous among his hearers being a
number of supporters of Senator
Smith and Thomas E. Watson. His
scathing criticism of the senior sen
ator drew loud applause from the
Watson men, while his utterances
against Mr. Watson provoked cheers
from the Smith element. Otherwise
his remarks fell upon an audience
that apparently was disinterested.
■The governor attempted to defend
his veto of the measure exempting
from Inheritance taxation the Steiner
bequest to the Scottish Rite Hos
pital for Crippled Children; made an
effort to justify his collection of
illegel tobacco taxes from country
merchants; lauded his own admin
istration in his usual glowing terms;
discussed the League of Nations at
length; launched his usual bitter at
tack upon Senator Smith and The
Atlanta Journal, and criticized Thomas
E. Watson for his antagonism to
the government during the war.
Walter R. Brown Has
Issued Statement on
Challenge to Walker
Attorney Walter R. Brown, of At
lanta, one of the candidates for gov
ernor, has issued the following
statement commenting off the fail
ure of Clifford Walker, another gu
bernatorial candidate, to accept his
challenge for a joint debate:. s
“I expected to have the opportunity to
discuss the one and only issue that vitally
concerns the people of Georgia in the
present gubernatorial campaign, but for
reasons best known to Mr. Walker, he
keeps his lips sealed.
“My challenge was issued to Mr. Walk
er Thursday morning. He deliberately ig
nored me, treating me and the platform
upon which I stand with silent contempt.
I intended to ask him before the At
lanta public and other Georgians .if he
was in favor of Mr. Gompers and his
affiliated negroes dictating to the white
people of Georgia.
“I am sorry to find that there is a
man in Georgia who asked to be elected
our governor, who is either tied hand and
foot by Samuel Gompers or for the sake
of a few votes acknowledges his cowardice
by failing to meet the volunteer candi
date who is championing the cause of the
white people against the domination and
dictation of Mr. Gompers and bis asso
ciated negro unions.
“For two weeks these questions have
been put to Mr. Hardwick, Mr. Holder
and Mr. Walker and up to this present
moment not one of them has had the nerve
and bac.kbone to tell the voters of Geor
gia where they stand on this tremen
dous issue. They content themselves in
discussing Hardwick’s fee. Walker’s hand
shaking proclivities and the misfortune of
Mr. Howell dropping Mr. Holder in the
middle of the branch.
“I state in all seriousness that neither
one has presented a thought to the peo
ple of Georgia which compares to tlrat
of domestic, industrial and commercial
peace of Georgia.
“The effort is being made now by
Gompers and his affiliated negro lodges
to subvert the constitution and laws of
our state.
“I am in favor of protecting the fair
womanhood of Georgia against the insidious
effort made to unionize the farm labor
negroes in our state.”
Lamar County Fete
Is Great Success
BARNESVILLE, Ga„ Aug. 28.
The big barbecue here yesterday,
celebrating the passage of the bill
creating Lamar county by the Geor
gia legislature, was another great
event connected with the new county.
Between 4,000 and 5,000 people were
present, many prominent men from
other sections of the state, and many
citizens from Monroe and Pike being
among the number. More than fifty
carcasses had been barbecued and
the women furnished in addition
scores of basket dinners.
During the morning a number of
fine addresses were made in Gordon
auditorium, where John F. Redding
acted as master of ceremonies.
Among those making addresses were
Senator James J. Flynt, of Griffin;
Senator Herschel H. Elders, of Reids
ville; Zack Arnold, of Fort Gaines;
John H. Adams, of Social Circle, and
Professor Joseph D. Smith, of this
city, who was in charge of the new
county campaign in Atlanta.

month. Before the war 500 men a
month was considered a fair aver
age for the smallest of the three
branches of the service, and the
present indications are that the Au
gust figures will easily double that
number.
The marine corps is now recruit
ed to about 60 per cent of its au
thorized strength of 27,400, and at
the present rate of progress will
reach the maximum number within
a few months. While the passing
of the pay and bonus bills have had
a stimulating effect on enlistments,
recruiting- officers believe that the
educational advantages now offered
to marines are leading’ large num
bers to enlist.

PEACE LEAGUE
AT G.O.P. RALLY
BOSTON, Aug. 28.—The League of
Nations was..condemned .toy Senator
Lodge in an address at a mass Meet
ing of the Republican League Os Mas
sachusetts at Braves’ field, today.
“The league, which has got all mem
bers in it but one,” he said, "has been
an absolute and total failure; It
hasn’.t accomplished anything.”
"It may be impossible. s to-,
with reservations,” Senator' Lodge
added, “if may be undesirable to do
so, it may be necessary to
and strengthen the reservations, or
it may be best to put aside this ill
drawn. ill-conceived league and 'to
take up under the auspices of the
United States a new agreement, As
sociation- or league composed of ail
the nations of the earth under the
leadership of the United -States.
That’s a solution which commends
itself, I believe, to Senator Harding,?’'-
The other speakers included Helen
Varick Boswell, who was a.delegate
to the Republican national conven
tion from New York state, arid Col
onel Raymond Robins, of Chicago?
Louis K. Liggett presided, and read
a telegram .of greetings from Seria-'i
tor Harding. Music was furnished by
a Republican glee club of 100 voices,
and after the speaking. 1,000 Amherst
men who sat in a. special
In cheering and'• sfriging in hioiior St'
Governor Coolidge, who is a gradu
ate of the college.
Senator Lodge charged that the
league had “never interfered with
the invasion of Poland by Russia,
had never interfered to hold back
Turkey from Armenia, had never'
done anything in the matter of Per
sia, and had never done anything to
reach a solution of the Fiume ques
tion.”
“It has done nothing,” he said “and
yet it is full of menace. Europe, 1
think, is pretty well sick of it and
would be glad to be rid of it. They
don’t feel about our president as they
did. I doubt whether it will evfer be
possible to make the battered hulk of
Mr. Wilson’s league seaworthy.”
He explained that the European
situation was "changing every day,”’
and that because of this realization
he had taken “the ground at Chi
cago that the senate deserved the ap
proval of the Republican party, but
above all things we should not bind
our presidential candidate to any
pledge of what he should do with
the league question seven months
hence.”
Senator Lodge denied that the
hopes of the world’s pfeace were ex
clusively in the covenant of the
League of Nations.
“It is almost a sacrilege, he said,
“to suggest that within the four cor
ners of this document the hopes of
the world’s good are tied up—in a
document prepared oy General Smuts
and Lord Cecil, with one article put
in it by President Wilson, which we
have from him is the heart Os the
covenant.” .
“The league as brought back by
Mr. Wilson, is nothing out a political
alliance,” he added, “all full of en
forcement and very little peace in it.
He was severe In his denunciation of
Article Ten, which, he said? diuiered
from every other article in the cov
enant in that it constituted “an in
dividual obligation.”
“At this moment,” he continued,
"one of the most gallant and brave
people In the world is being Invaded
bv Russia in an attempt to bring her
back and partition her as she was
partitioned in the days of the autoc
racy. The sympathy of every Ameri
can is with the Poles.
“But if we were a member of the
league, under Article Ten, if Poland
summoned us, we’d have to go. No
action of the Jeague would be neces-
