PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES A STRONG
FOR SUPPORT OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Coes Direct To The People With A Plea For The
Indorsement Of The League Of
Nations
Washington, Oct. 8.— President
Wilson, in his first campaign appeal
tonight made directly to the people,
urged the indorsement of the league
of nations Issue at the election and
declared "The whole world will wait
for your verdict In November as it
would wall for an intimation of what
its fnture is to be.”
Th* President charsets rised as
"absolutoly false” assertions that ar
ticle 10 of the league covenant would
make it possible for other nations to
lead the United States Into war.
There was nothing in the covenant,
he said, “which in th* least interferes
with or impairs th* right of Congress
to declare war or net declare war ae- j
cording to Its own Independent judg
ment, aa our constitution provides.”
“My fellow countryman.” was the
Prsaiavat's method of addressing hi*
communication to th* people. It con
tained no mention of preaid ealial can
didates by name, but was confined to
a brief defense of artkls 10 and an
arraignment of those who ha declared ■
had roasly misled” the public with i
regard to the treaty.
The President aid that those who {
had spent their lives, as he hsd. “In
familisising themselves with tbs his- ,
tory and traditions aad policies of
tba nation must stand amused at the i
gross ignorance and Impudent soda 1
city which has led them to attempt
to iaeeat an 'Americaniaisi," which
has no foundation whatever In any
of the authentic traditions of the gov
ernment."
"Impwdaat Aadeslty.”
Tbs last of th* appeal follows:
“My fellow countrymen:
“The Issues ef th* present cam
paign are of such tremendous im
portance and of such far ranching
a gnificanct for the influence of tba
country and the development 'of its
future relations, and 1 have necea.
eerily had so much to do with their
development, that I am rare you will
think It natural and proper that I
should add reus to poo a few words
concerning them. Everyone who sin
es rely believes hi government by th*
poop]* must rSjolcs at the turn af
campaign. This election ii to be a gen
uine national referendum. The deter
mination of a great policy upon which
• -a&ffftss rtrsansB
pond ia not to be left to groupe of
politicians of either party, hut is to be
.eferred to the people themselvee for
a sovereign mandate to their rspre
seatativss. They are to instruct their
own government what they wish done.
“Tho chief question that is pat to
you is, of conree this:
"Do you want your country's hon
or vird rated end the treaty of Ver
sa.! In istified? Do yon in particular
approve af the league of nations as
organised end empowered In that
treaty? And do you wish to see the
United States play Ita responsible
part In it? You have beea groesly mis
led with regard to the treaty, and
particularly with regard to the pro
posed character of tho league of na
tions by those who have assumed the
serious responsibility of opposing it.
They have gone so far that those who
have spent their lives, as I have spent
sit Itfe, in familiarising themselves
with the history and traditions and
policies of the nation, must stand
amased at the mss ignorance and
impudent audacity which has led
them to attempt to Invent an 'Amer
icaaiem’ of their own. which bas no
foundation whatever in any of the
authentic traditions of tho govern
ment.
A is aviso's Position
“Americanism as they conceive it
reverses the whole process of the last
few tragical years. It would substi
tute America for Prussia In the policy
of isolation and defiant segregation.
Their conception of the dignity of
the nation and its interest is that we
ehbold stand apart and watch for op
portunities to advance our own in
terests. Involve ourselves in no ro
sponsibilty for tho maintenance of
the right in tho world for tho con
tinned vindication of the things for
which wo entered the war to light
The conception of the grant creators
of the government was absolutely op
posite to this Thoy thought of Am
erica as the light of the world, to load
tho world hn the assertion of the
rights of free nations; as destined to
set a responsible example to all the
world of what free government is and
ean do for the maintenance of right
standards, both national and Interna
tional. This light tha opponents of tho
league would quench. They would re
legate the United States to d subor
dinate role in the affaire of the
world.
"Why should n be afraid of ro
spoailbUlUes which wo era qualified
to sustain, and which the whole of
our history ha* eanatkuted a promiea
to the world wo would sustain? ThU
ia the aioet momentleue Issue that hoe
ever been presented to the people of

NEGRO PAPER URGES
THE WOMEN TO VOTE
_
Raleigh Weekly Advises
Negro Men and Wo
men to Register
(Special Correspondence.I
Raleigh, Oct. 4.— Raleigh's Arst ex
perience with women at the polls,
which occurred last Saturday, In the
special school tax proposition, whan
TOO women participated as regis
trants er voters, is looked upon as
‘^rring "broken the ice" for Inn wo
men and will act to remove the die
taste vrhich many ar« exhibiting to
going to the polls to cast thoir bel
tots.
Another incentive thnt ought to
figure largely in a big registering of
tho white women of the State in the
discovery of Ute fact the ttbe Re
republicans arc counting on voting
large numbers of negro women, as
witnessed m the circulation of tho cir
cular letluT being mailed out ovor the
State from Greensboro signed "Col
ored Women's Rights Association,''
in which the ncgio women are urged
to apply to the registrars and If de
nied registration to report the fact
to local “Republican lawyers,” etc.,
wiLh the view of taking the matter
into the courts. The "grandfather
clause” is unconstitutional any way,
the circular asserts
OJiar passages in the circular in.
elude the following. “Bold your
meetings at nlgfatfl when we get thou
sands of voters on the registration
books tho whits Republicans of North
Carol ins and the South will be glad
to do aa their white brothers of the
North—recognise us as their equals I
We are being backed by them now.

Negro Paper Urge* Weave to Vote
In addition to the above, aad much
more that could be quoted, the negro
weekly newspaper in Raleigh, which
iij/aQted bp tbs qaeretary of- the Ne
gro Rtate Republican Committee,
print* eonspleloasly an editorial, un
der the caption “NegTocs Should
Qualify to Vote,” appealing to both
negro men and women to got busy
aad demand that the name* of negro
women be placed on the books, and
advising muck likv the circular letter
of the "Colored Women's Bights As
sociation” referred to. namely, to re
poTt registrars who refuse to register
them to the "local member of the
'committee.' ”
"Let men end women of eolor in
North Carolina register," shouts the
Raleigh oigan of the Republican ne
K state committee. These partku
i should be disseminated so that
the white women guy become aware
of the situation.
Registration Period New Os
The registration books for the
Slate and national elections opened
last Thursday and will continue
through Saturday, October SSrd.
There is no time like th* present to
do a thing you know ought to bo
done. Tomorrow never comes There
fore, register today. Don’t put it off.
Thor# will be no doubt of the result
if the full Democratic strength Is
polled. It can not be polled if it is
not registered.
Every woman voter must register
betwee nnow and October 23, and j
there are many men who for various |
reasons most register anew In order
t Hot* this year, such as change of
voting precinct, rtc. The letter will be
leas use than a bump on a log elec
tion day unless they attend to this
matter. Women do not have to give
their age, beyond stating thay art 21
or over. They are not required to
pay poll tax or to exhibit any receipt
iherefor. In short, the way is wide
open to you, ladies and the perpetua
tion of good government and whit*
supremacy iri our state in which you
ere moot vitally concerned, largely
depends upon you.

Prices |n all markets hart declined

contracts in How York touching 11
1 -2c before the downward movement
was halted. The decline la contracts
was entirely due ta pressure of ac
tual cotton in the south, particularly
ia Texas. Price of Middling cotton

Oar sheriff goes oat about oneo a

last such capture in this county net

tried by a fair aad impartial jury in
the Hupeiior Court, were convicted .
of the manufaetsxe aad tale of whis, I
key, and to the utter amassment of ,
tha bettor class of eitlsonship in this i
community, tha sentence Imposed op- j
on them by the judge was 9100 One.
This sort ef thing Is being done all
ovar the state with tbe resell that, in
stead of these liquor dealers feeling
diseoutagsd, they feel that they can
make and sail all the whiskey they
see lit to aad, if caught aad convicted
got off by paying a small fine.
If these law violators could be
made to fed the hand of tbe law
heavy open them when convicted, i
there would be a continuous lessen- ‘

whiskey is North Carolina. Such I
judgments as the one above referred {
to, and sot only this one, but other

failure upon the part of our judges
