"Now that the American people have decisively declared ag&lnst the league ofn ations as written by the president." said Mr. Bryan, "it would seem desirable to carry out the verdict immediately. This can be easily done. "The president should resign at once and turn over his office) to Mr. Marshall, on the condition that on the condition that on the con vening of congress in December, Mr. Marshall appoint Senator Harding secretary of state and him self resign. "Thel aw then would make Mr. Harding president, and with the republican support in congres, he could at once put into operation the plan for the United States to enter into an association of nations for peace. "As world peace is a thing near est the president's heart, he can hardly refuseto hasten the coming of peace by so small a sacrifice if it could be called a sacrifice to escape from a thre months combat with a hostile congress, supported as it is by the recent vote."

Tennessee.Oklahoma Swing Into Republican List on Late Returns of Bedford Named By West Salem Voters as Mayor West Salem, Ore., Nov. 4. No unusual interest was manifested in the city election here. The only contest was in the .selection of al dermen. Eight candidates were In the field and five were elected. Bedford was electeii mayor, that Market Road District. Market Roads Program Calls Far Half Million A road program for the county during 1921 embracing the expend iture of $530,000 was tentatively outlined at a meeting of the Marlon County Market Roads committee at a meeting in the Commercial club rooms yesterday. The proposal calls for the issuance of $235,000 in market road bonds and the dupli cation of this amount thru taxation. The purpose of the meeting was to devise ways and means of dis posing of the bonds that had been authorized at the election a year ago last May. These bonds bear 514 interest and can not be sold below par, and the county court has been unable to dispose of them because money has been command ing a higher rate of interest. A motion was made and carried that it was the sense of the meet ing that the Market Road Districts In which the money is to be spent in the coming year, should sell or buy tho amount of bonds required to do the work, it being understood that it will be necessary to sell $260,000 worth of bonds over the entire county. It was further agreed that in case any district failed to thus dis pose of the bonds allotted to it, that some other district in which - " """ii " iu 5 tor me senate, rrom Colorado, as done during the coming year would sured President-elect Hardina a be given the opportunity to sell' majority of at least 10 in the upper some bonds and thereby cause ad- house, and of fl states where sen ditional work to the extent of the'atorlal choices had not been deter- I sale of tlje bonds, to be done in mined, the republican cundidates G. 0.
