Portland attorney, gave six reasons why the people of the United States should vote for the League of Nations In the November referendum. In an address at the " East Side library Tuesday night. "First, the league provides for the re duction of the armaments of all na tions," he said. That means elimination Of a prolific source of all wars, means reduction of taxes, means more men for useful occupations and means the pro duction of useful wealth. HeconQ. It provides for the abolition of all ecret treaUen. all war-like treaties, all treaties existing now or In the fu ture which conflict with the peaceful spirit of the League of Nations covenant. Kecret treatleu have done nothing but breed and bring on war. AUBIJKATIOX PROVIDED . "Third, It provides for tha arbitration of all disputes. Nations will settle ihelr differences and quarrels In the courts as individuals do. We have mads duelling between Individuals a crime. The League of Nations makes duelling between na tions a crime. Nations finally Ret around a table and settle their differ enceswhy not do it before they kill the flower of the human race. "Fourth, it provides thai a nation that wants to so to war shall be boycotted. It is feasible and practical. No' nation on earth can wage war 90 days If hoy i cotted by Jhe balance of the nations. "Fifth. It provides for a world court whose 1 Jurisdiction will cover Judicial questions or other questions confronting ' the Wjorld. TEltniTORJAfc INTEGRITY 'Sixth, it contains an agreement be tween nations to respect the territorial Integrity of other nations. That means the elimination tt 99 per cent of the possibility of war." Watklns pointed out that the people ef this nation have faced three funda mental questions, the adoption of the constitutron.Jhe' slavery question and the League of Nations. The first two they decided correctly, he said, and the third will be decided by entering the Leugue . of Nations. "Had we not adopted the constitu tion this nation would now be a con glomeration of petty states," Watkins insisted. "Hid we not decided the slav-r-ery question as we did, America would have been split. And now we find the same arguments being presented against joining the league as were espoused by those who wished to defeat the constitution." DR.

The renomination of Senator Moses of New Hampshire has turned out to be a challenge to ths mora Intelligent thought in" New Kngland. The leaders are not so confident of a victory for Moses as they were three weeks ago. The determined opposition among- New Hampshire voters, particu larly the women (who nurture a griev ance of their own), has caused connid erable apprehension that the electorate votes of that state may go to Governor Cox. In 1916 President Wilson carried the Granite state by 6 votes in a total of 88, 76 per cent. Massachusetts looks to be entirely safe for the Republicans. The closing of several banks conducted under -the supervision of the Republi can state government and In no way subject to federal control, has somewhat destroyed the argument that all evils financial and otherwise can be charged to the Wilson administration. Demo crats and Republicans say whatever personal appeal the Republican presi dential ticket makes to voters In Mas sachusetts Is due to respect for Gov ernor Coolidge and not for Mr. Harding. PREJUDICE C5ABATEB Democratic leaders who are hopeful Republican trouble will keep the major ity for Harding below 60.000 are com pelled to admit that there haa been no appreciable abatement of the intense prejudice among the Boston ympa thlsers with the Sinn Fein movement, despite the fact that former Mayor Fitsgerald and Congressman Gallivan are supporting Governor Cox. The Bos ton Democratic leaders assert that there is no question that they will carry the city by the minimum of 5000. Four years ago Massachusetts gave Hughes its 18 electoral votes by a plur ality of 21,000. The most optimistic among the Republican leaders of Maine do not claim Its electoral vote for Hard ing by a majority as big as that given Pafkhurst in the state election. They are talking from 25,000 to 40,000 and admit the difference will be accounted for Bi the division of Hontiment over the League of Nations. Vermont looks safe for about the normal Republican majority. Four years ago Mr. Hughes won it by a little more than 12,000 in a vote of 89.000. Rhode Island, which usually follows Wall street, looks to be safe for Harding by 5000, according to Republican claims, and temocrUe ad missions. Four years ago lluphes car ried it by 1500. The Rhode Island So cialists, who polled 2000 votes four years ago, are counting on a minimum of 6000 and perhaps 10,000, which may af fect both the major parties. BRATf DEGEK HAS FIGHT : Republican leaders admit that Senator Brandegee is going to have trouble in Connecticut. If the believrs: in the League of Nations and women voters are sufficiently active they may be able to defeat him and possibly with the cooperation of the very large Socialist vote expected turn the electoral vote over to Governor Cox. That the Re publican national leaders appreciate the danger to Brandrfgee is clearly revealed by the tremendous effort being made by the railway and other corporations of the state to insure his return to the senate. The greater number of women voters are fighting him vigorously and supporting Mr. Lonergan, his Demo cratic opponent. They also display a friendly leaning toward the League of Nations. The manifest growth of pop ularity of the Bociallst cause in the state is causing the Republicans a good deal of concern. Four years ago, when Hughes ' carried the state by 7000, the Socialists polled 5179 votes. The indi cations are that this will be trebled next month. Elderly Man Bilks Kalama Bank With Worthless Check Kalama, Wash., Oct. 6.
