WILL -BE" FELT
IN CAMPAIGN
PRESIDENT WILSON'S EN
TRY TO HAVE AFFECT
Mr. Wilson Stand For League
Great Aid to Its Passage Says
Democratic Leaders. At the
Psychological Moment
Washington, Oct. 4 "The Presi-
dent has again proved himself not
only a master of political statements
but an adept in political psychology.
This was consensus of comment of
Democrats in Washington today - on
President Wilson's first bugle blast in
the campaign for the covenant of the
League of Nations. It is believed the
President could not have chosen a
more propitious moment to enter the
campaign. The whole nation has
been listening intently for a fotnight
to hear from the man in the White
House. The people had become more
apathetic than was ever known in
previous presidential campaigns.
"But the people," said Secretary
Daniels in commenting on the Presi
dent's statement, "hunger for only
one thing in this campaign and that
is knowledge of the covenant of the
League. Wherever I have gone in my
speaking tours both men and women
come to me and say don't tell us?
about the Federal Reserve and other
domestic achievements of your party.
We know about them. What we do
not know about, or do not under
stand, is the covenant of the League
of Nations. It is the only thing that
interests us, but the speakers in thi
campaign do not explain it and that
is why we appear apathetic."
Clears Up Atmosphere.
"The President's statement," said
the Secretary, "accentuated the one
issue for it comes when the people
are hungry for it and it comes from
the great master of the subject. Ten
days ago the whole political atmos
phere of the country was dense with
fog. The Republicans have conducted
such an organized propaganda of mis
representation and falsehood that
Democrats feared that they could not
in time get the truth to the people
That fear has passed. The fog is
lifting and Mr.. Wilson's statement
comes down like the unobstrued rays
of the sun."
Senator Hitchcock, leader of the
fight for the President for the League
of Nations who is now here declared
that the League is the only real issue
in which the people are interested
Referring to Senator Borah's com
ment on the President, Senator Hitch
cock said
Senator Borah may be correct when
he states that the President is a very
sick man, but the President is evident
ly not too sick to denounce Repub
lican falsehood and Republican mis
representation on the League of Na
tions. President Wilson's statement,
though moderate, is unqualified. Re
publican leaders and Republican
n p.wsnaners have said that Article
Ten of the covenant makes it possible
for other nations, or for the League
of Nations to decide whether we shall
go to war or not. This lie has 'been
uttered time and time again, and the
gist of the President's statement is
that it is a lie. Coming from such a
high source, it may induce some peo
ple to read Article Ten who have not
done so.
America Could Stop War
Article Ten only consists of two
sentences. The first is the pledge of
each nation to respect the territorial
integrity and political independence
of all nations in the league against
external aggression. The second sen-
tence however, limits the first sen
tence and sets forth the only way m
which the pledge can be carried out
or made effective. It cannot be car
ried out by an order of the league, It
cannot be carried out by one nation
appealing to another. It cannot be
carried out by one nation voluntarily
going to the aid of another. It can
not be carried into effect in case the
nine nations in the council unani
mously agree and 'advise' the nations
of the league what should be done.
They cannot order; all they can do is
to advise, and even te advice cannot
be given except by unanimous vote.
"The United - States being one of
i f fho rmincil. even the

misled by the false statement that the
United States could be ordered to go
to war or be outvoted in the league on
subject of going to war will discover
that President Wilson is correct when
he says: 'this is absolutely false.' "
Present Situation Serious
A leading administration Democrat
whose name cannot be used in this
connection in discussing the Presi
dent's statement- said that what urg
ed the President more than anything
else to take a hand in the campaign
is the president condition of the world,
The two forces in the world which
are today struggling for supremacy
are somewhat similar in motives and
aspirations to the two schools of po
litical thought that are battling in
this country for victory in the No
vember election.
He called attention to the relations
between the United States and Japan,
which he said the President foresees
might become very serious even dan
erous if the Republicans should win
the election and refuse to allow us to
enter the league. If this country does
not enter the league, the league will
soon fall to pieces and two hostile
groups of nations will be the result
and we shall be compelled to join one
or the other of these groups to pro
tect ourselves and this hemisphere
against the other group.
The bolshevist regime in Russia
must soon fall and Germany with her
great skill for organization will enter
that country. Without a League
of Nations, Germany, Russia and
Japan and China dominated by Japan,
Turkey, the Balkan states and all the
near east will coalesce. Under this
alliance will be mustered two thirds
of the human race.
This aggregation would naturally
be hostile to the. European entente

They would become far more danger

1914. With their great strength they
would enter the Western hemisphere
through countries like Mexico. The
United States would be compelled to
join the entente, and eventually war
between these two great groups of
nations.
League the Only Safeguard
The President sees the Republican
party as the instrument of all evil
' iorces in these nations working
against the orderly progress of the
race. The league is in his view the
only safeguard against the races
lapsing perhaps into untimate barba
rism. There are many signs of sue
a danger in the world at this moment.
A great deal of humanity under cer
tain condition exhibits a complete lack
of moral consciousness.
The President in his statement
points to the fact that the creators of
the government were guided in their
great work by the hope that the Unit-
ed States would save the world fron
just such danger as is outlined. In
his view the great mission of the peo
pie of the United States is to lead the
world to higher levels. This Demo

ful country home, "Fairfield" War
ren county, N. C, were thrown open

written in red and yellow dahlias; and
the receiving rooms and halls were
full of exquisite bowls of dahlias and
asters. Punch was served under a
pretty arch of Ivy, with 1895 and
1920 conspiciously suspended above.
The gifts were handsome and num

great many friends all over the
county.

FAIR OFFICIALS EXPECT
GREAT ATTENDANCE
J Warren County's Fair To Open
Here Thursday At 10 O'CIock
in School Building. All Are
Urged to be Present
Much interest is being manifested
in Warren county's fair which begins
here Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
Indications point to the fact that the
exhibits will be better and more num
erous than in any preceding fair held
in Warren. Mrs.W. A. Connell says
that she feels very much encouraged
at the way plans are working out.
The big barbecue will come off during
the fair. The monev for this has
been given by the business men of
Warrenton.
"I am glad to see," says Supt. J.
Edward Allen, President of Warren
County's Fair Association, "that in
terest in the Warren Fair which is to
be held in Warrenton this week is at
a higher pitch than I have ever ob
served in any public matter of this
kind in fifteen years of Warren coun
ty. Years ago so many years ago
that many readers will not know
about it I remember how fairs used
to be held in the field between the
Hawkins school and White's gin, and
how excursions used to run from all
up and down the raiload, and long
strings of railroad passenger cars
used to be seen on the siding in fron .
of what is now Mr. Rooker's residence
down main street way, and the squee
dunks blew and the balloons flew and
the hokey-pokey bellowed for trade,
and everybody was happy, including
myself, a kid in .short skirts. It
looks like we are going to have a re
vival of the good old' times, and we
want your hearty help in "putting At
over."
Continuing, Mr. Allen States that
"We expect a big crowd of our friends
here Thursday and Friday and that
means the whole county. The busi
ness people of the town are glad of
the opportunity to be hosts. The good
people of Warren county are glad of
the privilege of getting together. Am.
the best part of it all is, that this
fair is not one of those many way s
of taking good money out of Warren
county. We are tired of rotten,
ridiculously poor circuses that take
good money out of our midst and do
not even leave a good taste in our
mouths or a smile on our faces or a
'Thank you' and a benediction when
they shake from their soles ungrate
fully the dust of good old Warren."
Make your plans now to meet your
friends here botjt days of the Fair
and make Thursday and Friday days
of pleasure as . well as profit.
Prizes Announced
The three prize letters were all
excellent and so nearly of equal worth
that the judges decision was that no
one be judges first and second and in
their opinion that the just thing was
to divided the prizes equally between
the three. Therefore, the Warren
Record takes great pleasure in award
ing to Mrs. N. M. Palmer, Mrs. P. A.
Agelasto and Mrs. Charlotte Story
Perkinson a prize of $5.00 each. The
prizes will be presented .when prem
iums are awarded.
There were no contestants for High
School prizes.
