Subscription, $2.00 Per Year ,1 REPUBLICAN VICTOHY PROVES LANDSLEDE Itraulla Shaw Country Tlrrd of llaon lm. Muteiun HefrrrBflura Sauna I'eoplre' Maud oa League of ftationa laaue. Warren U. Harding, United States Senator from Ohio, and Calvin Cool Idge, (iovemor of the state of Massa chusetts, were elected President and Vice-President, respectively, of the United States, in the election held on Tuesday, Nuvembr 2. The result of the election was not long in doubt. Early returns were so strong for Harding that there was no room left for doubt, and before mid night the l)emocratic headquarters had conceded the election of Senator Hard ing. As Mark Sullivan says in bis (sum mary of the result, It was never In the cards for Cox to win. "The Ues Muines speech of Senator Harding, the race Issue where it appeared locally, and the last hour return of a portion of the Irish vote to the democratic fold, all these were mere ripples made by the light breeze on the surface, and It did not set back the tremendous and cu mulative force of disapproval of Wil sonism and the democratic administra tion which began in November, 1S18, and has been steadily increasing ever since. The republicans held one card, which was not only a trump, but was ace. Joker and half a dozen other cards! combined. That card was resentment against WIIboii, a belief that the demo crats have mismanaged various as pects of the government connected with the administration. The republicans could sit still, hold tight to that card and let Cox do his boat. As a matter of fact, of course, the re publicans did not only do this, but con ducted an extremely Intelligent cam paign. Hut that card alone was enough to prevent Cox from winning. It wnulu be futile at so early a moment to at tempt any generalizations, liut a few things are clear. Among these the clearest Is that Senator Harding's In Btlnctlve feeling nbout the league of nations aa about the other Issues of the campaign show him to bo completely sympathetic to the common feelings of the average man on these subjects. A large part of the democratic campaign and especially a large part of the ar guments of friends of the league of na tions have been based on the assump tion that Senator Harding chose his position on the league as a matter of Intelligent artfulness and as a matter of political expediency. There Is not enough art in Senator Harding's per sonality to do this. What he did was merely to take the position that was Instinctive to him personally and It turned out that what he felt was the normal feeling of the average man. In his heart and in public addresses Sena tor Harding's greatest emphasis was not laid on the league of nations. 11 was laid on disapproval of what he' called tho autocratic government ofj President Wilson. It was a plea for 111 return of accustomed forms of govern ment. That probably was the plea thai ' went farthest to mako him kin to the I average man. Within the first hour after the polls! closed returns begun to verify the ex-! pectatlon that it was decidedly the, kind of election In which the tail goes' with the hide.

"Still the greatest mother In the world," the American Red Cross is claiming due attention of the people, now tnat the election is over and we j are turning out thoughts to other; things. The annual roll call will be under. way on Armistice Day, November 11, and will continue for two weeks, com. ing to a conclusion on Thankseivina- Day. What the Red Cross has done in times is a matter of history, a history showing a record of which we may well be proud. But the Red Cross Is not primarily a war oreaniE.ition. It is carrying on a great work in peace time with which many people may not be familiar. Better community cen ters; more sanitary livintr conditions for the protection of good health and strong bodies; libraries, hospitals and visiting nurses are only a few of the phases of this great organization. We will recall the efficient work car ried on by the Red Cross during the in fluenza epidemic whiih swept the coun try a rew yeais ago. Many families were cared for and aid given where they would have been neglected other wisex The local canirnicn for membership Dick Johns was called to his old home in Grant county last week on account of the serious illness of his father.

Dr. Chick reports mother and daughter as doing well. J. J.
