Political Issue

Democrats Must Get White
, Women to Polls " to

tlilci(0 Tribune-Omaha Bet Ual Wire.
- Lexington, Ky.. i,pt. 7. The race
Issue is cropping out in Kentuck
l oliticf as the fall campaign goes
'. !!. , Although the league of nations
, snd article 10 may r.gage the atten
lion of national orators and the
.slush fund claims put forward by
Tovernor Cox, obscure it for a time,
ihefe are evidences on the horizon In
this state that the jssue that may
ovcrrl'adow the others in promi
nence is the negress vote. The focus
jf the Kentucky fight lies in the
vvomen's . vote of :'iJ8,0(10. In most
presidential elections here in former
ve.iis the .vote has been' divided al
'inos. ewenly. although sually dem
ocratic by a slight margin, except
that Edwin P. Morrow. republican
nominee, carried the state by 40,000
?.vA won the governorship. Usually,
however, a few thousand votes have
' decided the victor The democrats
realize their chances for a win here
rhis fall, can be swept aside if ths
republicans. Ret niui.li of an "edge"
on tv.e situation. . '
Eighty thousand negro women
will be added to the poll list, all of
vvikw are certain to vote republi
cu. The (ti?stiaii. therefore, of
"how Ken'-'-' will g-). is up to the
white women.
Democrats sny to win it vvill be
necessary for the white democrats to
induce the white women to go to the
polls by telling the white women
that unless they Vote, the negresss.
who arc certain to be. brought out
by the publicans, wiU express the
sentiments of Kentucky womanhood
Being a ,fbrder state" Kentucky
is unlike the "solid south" in respect
to its negro vote. Here it is counted
and that is the factor that keeps
Kentucky from being normally rock
ribbed democratic. ,
First City to Legislate
Against Leisure Driving
, 'Topeka, Kan., Sept. 7. Topeka
probably will be the firsj city in the
Sunflower state, or even in- the
United States; to pass an ordinance
against slow motor car driving on
its business streets.
Complaint has been made to the
city commissioners that its principal
business thoroughfares are being
made use of by automobile salesmen
to demonstrate how ' slowly their
"wares" , will travel in high to the
detriment of traffic, v
Relentlessly "Dry"
Congress to Be Issue
Of Bryan T his Fall
1 Clilene Tribune-Omaha Dee Leaeed Wire
Washington, Sept. 7. The flec
tion of a congress so relentlessly
"dry" that it would not hesitate,
to impeach president, whether
democrat or republican, who might
fail actively to "enforce the pro- (
hibition law. is the present ambi
tion of William Jennings Bryan,
and his sole concern in the con
1 gressional and senatorial cam
paign, in which he will participate
from now on. For the first time
since 1896, he refused today to
discuss presidential or i national
politics. '
Henceforth, however, he will
make' plain his attitude toward the
enforcement of prohibition, for
which he will work regardless oi
party ties. Even now he is engaged
in pledging up candidates for both
branches of congress to oppose
any weakening of the; Volstead
act. This issue he puts above all
party considerations. He will
elaborate his views at the coming
convention in fTiis city of the In
ternational Association Against
Alcoholism. t
Publisher Attacks Rules
Of Methodist Church
New York, Sept 7. The recrea
tion rulps o the Methodist church
which bar dancing and theater go
ing to its members, were attacked
by J. lienry.-Smythe, jr., a' NCw
ork publisher, in an address at
the" convention of the National As
sociation of Dancing Masters.
VI have been making this fight
for the good of the Methodist
church," said, Mr. Smythe. "I am
a Methodist. My father, Rev. Dr.
James Henry Smythe of Philadel
phia, has preached before six presi
dents and indirectly converted Billy
Sunday. Convinced that the recre
ation rules keeri people out of Meth
odism, I deciddd to try to change
the book ,f discipline. John Wes
ley's wise dictum should be suffi
cient 'Avoid the taking of such
diversion as cannot be used in the
name of the Lord Jesus.' I am 'in
this fight .as long as I live, even
if ,t costs my church membership."

Pol 6s Protest
Recent Attacks
By Lithuanians
League trf Nations Called
Upon to Aid Poland Which
Declares Bolsheviki Are
Co-operating in Battles.
By The Asikltci Presi.
Warsaw, Sept. 7. Protest to the
league of nations against attacks by
Lithuanian troops upon the Poles
north of Suwalki, has been, made by
the Polish government. It Is pointed
out that a state ot war does not ex
ist between the two countries-
Russian bolsheviki are supporting
the Lithuanians in advancing into
the disputed region in northeastern
Poland, says an official announce
met. - 'J
"Bearing down from the north,
the statement says, "Lithuanian
troops supported by bolsheviki, coV
tintte to attack Polish detachments,
and are moving irMhe direction of.
Suwalki and Augustow."
In political circles the action oi
the Lithuanians is taken to indicate
probably serious complications in
peace negotiations, as it is virtually
impossible for Poland to reach an
agreement with the Russian Soviet
government regarding the northeast
ern boundaries of this country without-having
an - understanding in
Lithuania.
In diplomatic circles it is state"
that Lithuamia generally favors
friendly relations with Poland.-

Ralph Mulford, picked by many to
win because of his record here (our
years ago, abandoned the race just
about the 14-mile pointf because of
blinding snow, although two other.
cars'had preceded him into the
storm.
It was a grueling race and the
drivers were exhausted when they
reached the summit. .Spectators . at

and snow prevented ''any sTght of

effort to get back into(the race after
stopping in a cloud and shq,w hank

ruled that Mulford could not be
given a new trial ' because all the
other drivers piloted their cars
through the snowstorm. ,' . . . ,
Politics Theme of
Gompers on Labor Day
Columbus, O., Sept. 7. In .a la
bor day speech here Samuel Gom
pers today championed the candidacy
ot-Governor Cox for president. He
said Governor Cox in congress had
voted favorably on all. legislation "in
the uterests of the people" and had
lent his-influence in passage of all
constructive legislat:on as governor
oi" Ohio. . t ,
Senator Harding was character
ized as a "nice fespectable "gentle
man" by Mr. Gompers. "But what
else:," he asked. "The most conspic
uous thing about Harding," he con
tinued. "has been his inactivity in
cveiyrhing constructive and his ac
tivity in everything reactumary.",
Gompers defended . the league of
nathns and characterized congress
as a "congress of negation." t
The Esch-Cunimins act, he de
clared, would "create industrial
slavery."
Three permanent agricultural ex
periment stations will be estab
lished in Jugoslavia in charge of
American experts.

Kansas City, Sept. 7. Lieut. Col.

. Tragic Little Act. s '
Each day as the fast of Lord
Mayor MacSwiney in Brixton pris
on progresses there is staged by the
bedside of the dying man a tragic
little act, which was disclosed to the
Associated Press today by Father
Dominic, Mayor MacSwiney's pri
vate chaplain. ,
"Every morning food in some form
or another is brought in by' the
prison .authorities and offered to the
starving prisoner in the. hope that
his almost uncontrollable craving
will master him, andhat he will be
tempted to eat. Every morning there
is the same end to the act- Mac
Swiney, who is too weak to utter a
spoken refusal, crushes his desire
and turns his -head away. So it has
gone on until the. twenty-fifth day
Daniels, Baker and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson were compared by the
speaker with the men who had held
those post's during his father's ad
ministration. When Colonel Roose
velt criticised Secretary Baker's
record as head of the War depart
ment a woman shouted, "Hit him
again, Teddy."
"I like to hit them when they de
serve it." he responded. '
Allied intervention in Russia and
Siberia was the result of an attempt
to collect the debts owecf by the
czap's government to international
bankers. Mr. Robins declared. "It
was a blunder that cost America
$100,000,000." he asserted.
