BRITISH LEADLRS ARE UNDECIDED ON PARI TO PLAT > Discussion at Bonar l.aw and Lloyd George Headquar ters l.ively. CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND LIBERALS ARE BUSY Opponents of Former Premier Say He will Not Give Bat tle But One Newspaper Says He Can and Will Fight. (By Associated Press.) London, Nov. 1-—Chieftains of the conservative party, led by Prime Minister Bonar Law, and the national Liberals under the banner of David Lloyd George, were still undecided today as to whether they would really “spread the war” against one anoth er’s candidates in the coming election or stand on the Present situation of fighting bitterly in some districts anil co-operating in others. “To fight or not to fight,” was the subject of discussion at conser vative headquarters last night, but no orders wer e ’ issued to Political leaders i n the hinterlands, and it was said that the matter would be threshed out later. Meanwhile the Political gossips who vent tiheir idea s upon readers of morning papers are noising it about that Lloyd George is not keen for reprisals against the Tories. These writers point out, the former premier capable of throwing reserve candidates into the scrap should the tacit agreements to co-operate go to smash. Besides, Lloyd George hasn’t built up such a large number of local or ganizations as have ihis opponents Some of the papers thinks his threat to “spread the war” is only a bluff. But his journalistic champion, the Daily Chonicle contends that Lloyd George really has the men and tihe mean g to use them and that he is simply holding back in the hope of “returning sanity elsewhere” The Chronicle reports a hot feeling among the Lloyd Georgians over t,h e attitudes of the Die Hards and free liberals who are opposing the nationals liberals. 1 It accuse,, them of petty spite, intolerance and be havior both shabby and vindictive. The political expert of the Daily Mail believes that he has discovered a strong tendency of the coalition conservatives to unite with the anti-coalition group now in harness. He maintains that only conserva tives like Lord Birkenhead and Sir Robert S. Horne continue to indentify themselves closely with Lloyd George. Another feature of today’s news is the report that the Asquitian liberal candidates are increasing at a rate that indicates that they will show as much strength on nomina tion day as the laborites. Lobor’s progress in the campaign is difficult to gauge. Their leaders express high hopes and great con fidence, but their confidence is not shared in other circles. LADIES OF Y. W. C A.

Boykin. He s poke late in the after noon and he was in action for an hour and a half. Of course the star performer for th e state was Albert Deal. He was reserved for the last. H e was the .final big gun. He went into action and he never went out un til and hour and a half had been con sumed. He had a fine audience to speak to. The town took a holiday to hear him and Wallace Pierce. Statesboro’s beauty and chivalry wa s here- It was a great setting for speech making. Every spare inch in the court room was take n and there was about one-third as many wo*en a s men. The gallery was given over to juvenile Statesboro, and the over flow of youngsters was accommodat ed with seats on the railing leading to the judge’s bench." And those who came were well re paid. Albei t Deal was in fine fettle. He shook his gray locks and rolled his piercing eyes and shot his bolts of oratory under the ribs of the jurors i n great shape. He had fun with Pierce and Boykin and Ander son, as they had had fun with him, only a little more so The judge had given the lawyers plenty of latitude and the code of Georgia seems to give it to them, too, and every man who sPoke started off with some per sonal reference to the opposing coun sel. It was all good-natured if not entirely relevant, to th e case, and the crowd enjoyed it. The charge of Judge Park occu pied about a n hour. It would have been longer had he charged every thing the attorneys for the defense wanted him to charge. He went pret ty fully into th e matter of insanity and the attention he jurors ; should Pay to the evidence give n to show that Padrick was Insane. Boiled down, it was chat if the jury believed Pad rick to be sane and if it found he had killed Mrs. Nixon, thas he should be convicted. If it was found he was insane, then he was to be acquitted upon that ground. GENERAL MURGUIA IS -1 SHOT BY FIRING SQUAD A TOPESUANTES, MEXICO A t By Associated Press A Mexico City, Nov.

A 1 BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA. THURSDAY NOV. 2, 1922. ILL SIGNS POINT 10 A REPUBLICAN DEFEAT TUESDAY Ohio Prophets Say That Demo crats are Sure of Great Victory REVOLT IN NEW ENGLAND COMES GOOD AND STRONG Manufacturing Section of the Country Said to Be Turning to Democrats; Latter Waging Warm Fight Everywhere. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 1. —While it Is the natural thing for the publicity bureaus of both the Democrats and Republican campaign headquarters to boost party prospects at the elec tions t° be h r -ld November 7 there are at the samp time, certain signs that indicate a good licking for the G. O. P. In the Prelsdent’s home state— ; Ohio —the reactionary Republicans ; are in for one of the worst trim mings of their career. Everything indicates the re-election of Senator Pomerene, Democrat! by an empha tic majority, the election of the state ticket, and a Democratic represonta . tion in the next House that will be a surprise to the country generally. ' This is the outlook despite the ex ’ traordinary efforts made b.v the Re • publicans, who have filled the state , with their top-notch speakers and flooded it with real money from end to end. HOPE TO SWELL VICTORY The manufacturing sections of New England will help swell the Democratic victory. The farm states will return the same verdict as the other states. The farmer lias been well described as “gritting his teeth and biding his time.’’ In the great business and commercial centers bus iness men are turning to the Demo cratic party for relief from the odious and obnoxious Fordney tariff bill which is threatening to do great damage to business conditions every where. In almost every state the cam paign has been fought out on the leading domestic issues of internal and tariff taxajt|on; upon extrava gant expenditures and reckless ap propriations; upon the inefficiency and incompetence of the present Re publican congress and upon the fail ure of both congress and the admin istration to keep their election prom ises. There is also the Newberryism and Goldsteinism issues which hav e been little less than disastrous this year In lowa a large element of the Re publicans are in revolt against the extreme radicalism of Brookhart, the member of the senate who succeeds Senator Kenyon, placed by President Harding on the Federal bench, The Republicans opposing Pinchot and Beveridge and Brookhart will contribute their share to the general Democratic victory. In the last extremity, Republicans of the stripe of Phil Campbell, Re publican congressman of Kansas, who has just been defeated for re nomination are seeking to make it appear that the Democrats are not. trying to carry the house. This, of course, is pure mandaelty. and one of the las e causes of an already de feated Old Guard organization. The signs of discontent with the present Republican organization and administration are most apparent Likewise the signs of Democratic victory are everywhere to be seen. The peopl generally are disgusted with the do-nothing Republican Con gress and dissatisfied with the shift less, drifting vacillating course now, being persucd. Reports from half a dozen states which are violent battlegrounds at the present time, furnish the infor mation that Democratic candidates and speakers are drawing larger and much more enthusiastic audiences than their Republican rivals. This is strictly noticeable in many of the rural districts, though it has been observed generally throughout many of the States and is not at all con fined to the country sections. Ohio and New York are the states in which this preference of voters for the Democratic candidates ’ar been most striking and so ominous to the Republicans that their nation al and local managers have drawn largely upon members of the Hard ing cabinet as recruit speakers. Ip the interior sections of New York State the apathy towards the Re publicans contrast sharply with the reception given Defocrats.

A Poll of the women, showed a majority as al ready having registered. Mrs. Cate also suggested that the members continue to study all the important Political questions of the •day, thus resolving the league into sort, of a “current events’’ class. Mrs. J. T. Hotc-h gave a most inter esting paper in ’’The Divorce Prob lem,” which was ably presented. Som e startling facts were give n on this serious question. Mrs. Hotcih stated that each state had a differ ent divorce law. A uniform divorce law is now being advocated for the whole country, by the National League of Women Voters, and it is hoped will be passed at this session of congress.

Touching the relationship between the newspaper and toe league, Mr. Leavy stressed the fact that both institutions could b e of great Public service in the community ,by using their power with an eye single to the city’s betterment, and by a closer co-operation and mutual un derstanding between the two. Mrs. Joe Borchardt presented the mooted question of the creating of Peach county in a clear and con cise manner, giving facts and fig ures, both for and against this measure. It is sure that if the women pres ent had not already made up their minds as to how they would vote on this question o n November seventh, they left the meeting well fortified with facts, in aiding th e decision- Mrs. S. C. Townsend, of St. Mary’s who had previously requested the opportunity to be heard, spoke on the ’Fourth district' senatorial mud dle. Mrs. Townsend championed the cause of Hon. C. S. Arnow, who is running as an independent against Hon. J. T. Vocelle, the regular Dem ocratic party nominee. She repeat ed many of the charge s made against . Mr. Vocelle by the A-i'now advocates. Mrs. G. V. Cate, president of the league, responded to Mrs, Townsend, and while refraining from any dis paragement of Mr. Arnow, urged the importance of party regularity in this case. Mrs. Cate deprecated the present method of naming senators, which means a complete new senate, every two years. The league took occasion to Pay a high tribute to the work of the Young Woman’s Christian Association and by unanimous vote endorsed the drive now being made for funds.
