THINKS TREATY
WILL BE IN VAIN
MINUS LEAGUE
Wilson Says European Re
adjustments Need Action
of All Nations
By Associated Press.
Helena, Mont.. Sept. 12 Declar
ing that the Treaty could not be
carried out without the League,
President Wilson cited the terri
torial adjustments of Mid-Europe as
an example of the sort of tasks which
he asserted only a concert of nations
could accomplish. The League was
to be the instrumentality, he said,
"by which the goods are to be de
livered to the people to whom they
belong," in territories of disputed
sovereignty.
The League, too, would be a step
toward world democracy, the Presi
dent said, because for the first time
it would place the small and weak
nations on a footing of equality with
the great and powerful.
Scores Boston Strike
The text of the President's refer
ence to the police follows:
"I want to say this, that a strike
of the policemen of a great city
leaving that city at the mercy of an
army of thugs is a crime against
civilization. In my judgment, the
obligation of a policeman is as sacred
and direct as the obligation of a
soldier. He is a public servant, not
a private employe and the whole
honor of the community is in his
hands. Ho has no right to prefer
any private advantage to the public
safety. I hope that that lesson will
be burned in so that it will never
again be forgotten because the pride
of America is that it can exercise
self control."
Saying he had been told the west
Woman Thinks She Is
Privileged to Talk
"If anyone ever had a miserable
stomach I surely had. It was grow
ing worse, too, all the time. Had
severe pains and attacks every ten
days or two weeks and had to call
a doctor, who could only relieve me
for short while. Two years ago
last February I took a treatment of
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and I
have not had a spell of pain or
misery since. My friends just won
der that I am looking so well. I
feel I am privileged to talk about it"
It is a simple harmless preparation

tically all stomach, liver and intest

i SAYS CARRANZA IS
THROUGH
By Associated Press.
Mexico City, Thursday, Sept.
11.—"Venustiano Carranza under
no circumstances will seek re
election as President of Mexico
and without fail will turn the
Presidency over to his successor
upon completing his present term
in December, 1920," Luis Cabrera,
Secretary of the Treasury, an
nounced to-day.
This statement was made fol
lowing the publication of a re
port that a meeting of various
political leaders had been held to
consider the re-election of Presi
dent Carranza.
was pervaded by "what is called
radicalism," the President declared
the only way to keep men from agi
tating against grievances was to re
move the grievances. As long as
"things are wrong," he said, he did
not intend to ask that men stop
agitating, begging only that they use
orderly methods.
He said radicalism meant "cutting
up by the roots," a process that
would be unnecessary if "noxious
growths" were removed.
i When the President was intro
duced by Governor Sam Stewart at
his night address here, the crowd
stood up and cheered.
Mr. Wilson said that the issue
after all was whether the sacrifice
of the war would be in vain. The
task of those who fought was only
half done, he declared, and if the
Treaty was not put into effect "men
like these will have to die again."
Why U. S. Entered War
The United States, said the Presi
dent, did not go into this war will
ingly and the Nation had tried to
convince itself "that the European
business was not our business." But
presently, he continued, it became
apparent that civilization itself was
at stake.
"We fought Germany." he con
tinued, "that the world might be
a fit place to live in. And the world
will not be a fit place to live in as
long as any great power can do what
Germany did."
Under the League, asserted Mr.
Wilson, there would be no oppor
tunity for a people to be thrown into
war without their consent. But if
the League failed he declared the
United States would be deliberately
guilty of "preparing a situation
which would bring on the final world
war."
FLEET AT VICTORIA
By Associated Press.
Victoria, B. C., Sept. 12.—With shore
batteries and ships guns booming
their salutes in a drizzling rain, the
U. S. S. New Mexico and Arkansas,
with Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and Admiral Hugo Rodman aboard,
conveyed by a division of destroyers,
dropped anchor in Victoria harbor
late yesterday. Shortly afterward
the official reception party came
aboard the Arkansas. Heading the
party was premier John Oliver, of
British Columbia.
jSteelworkers Promise
; Company Big Surprise
When Strike Takes Place
Washington, Sept. 12.—There was
no move in Washington to avert the
strike of steel workers, scheduled
for Monday September 22. With
President Wilson en tour conduct
ing his fight for the Treaty and
Samuel Gompers in Dorchester,
Mass., where he was called by the
death of his father, apparently no
one here had authority to act.
Representatives to the twenty
four steel-craft unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
who constituted th? special steel
workers' committee which issued
the strike call, left Washington one
by one. John Fitzpatrick, chair
man of the committee, the last to
leave, said he was going to Chicago
and later to Pittsburgh, where the
strike headquarters will be establish
ed. William Z. Foster, secretary of
the workers' committee, also went
to Pittsburgh.
"There is no change in the situa
tion," said Mr. Fitzpatrick, who de
clined to comment on the Presi
dent's latest message to Samuel
Gompers asking Gompers not to
permit a walkout of steel workers
until after the President's capital
and-labor conference to be held here
October 6.
Union leaders reiterated their
statements that officials of the Steel
Corporation would get the surprise
of their lives when the strike came.
Officers of the Steel Corporation
maintain that not more than 10 per
cent, of their employes are union
ized, while the union officials say
that the organization in Pittsburgh,
Chicago and Cleveland districts
amounts to 85 per cent.
Demand Union With
Greater Russia as
Extinction Threatens
By Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 12.—Complain
ing of alleged suppression and per
secution of the Russian race in Ga
licia and Bukowina by police, Mag
yars and Austrians, a committee
representing the Carpatho-Russian
nationality at Paris has addressed
a petition to President Wilson and
Congress in which they demand
union of their people with greater
Russia.
Humorous instances are cited of
oppression of Russian peasants be
cause of race and religion by mem
bers of the dominant races. It is
asserted that the Red Russians have
suffered prosecution tor six hun
dred years as first one nationality
and then another gained the ascend
ancy over them and that they are
now threatened with extinction un

ference to unite with their co-na

MOYER PRATSEDT
AT MIDDLETOWN

support. So far as I am advised,
the Republican organization of Dau
phin county has been conducting the
Republican politics of this county
fairly, honestly and capably, and.
therefore. for my part I see
no reason why I should not
support that organization, provided
the candidates recommended by it
are capable of filling the positions to
which they aspire."
Mr. Moyer Praised
After speaking of some of the
candidates and their qualificatins for
the several offices, Mr. Hargest re
ferred to the office of district attor
ney its follows:
The office of district attorney is
one of the most important county
offices, and it should be filled not
only by a capable lawyer, but by an
experienced trial lawyer. Good
lawyers are often experienced in
various ways, some are good office
lawyers, good Orphans' Court law
yers, or good corporation lawyers,
who do not have experience in the
actual trial of cases. The district
attorney must necessarily be largely
engaged in criminal trials, and
herefore, should be a good triai
lawyer. He should also be a fair
minded man. District attorneys too
often are over zealous for the con
viction of defendants. They forget
that under our system of jurispru
dence a defendant is considered
innocent until he is proven guilty,
and they often demand of
ants 'the pound of flesh.'
"Philip S. Moyer has been in ac
tive practice at the bar for ten years
o- more: he has had such experi
ence in the trial of cases, both civil
and criminal, which fits him for the
office of district attorney, to which
he aspires. He has been engaged
in four or more murder cases, and
is thoroughly familiar with the ad
ministration of the criminal laws
His association with his fellow mem
bers of the bar have proven him to
be a careful, considerate, conscien
tious and capable lawyer, who in
every way will measure up to the
standard which I have Indicated for
the office of district attorney, and
I am sure he will fill the office with
credit to himself and entire satis
faction to the people of this coun
ty.
"That his associates at the bar
recognize his fitness for this office
is shown by the fact that over 90
per cent, of the Republican mem
bers of the bar signed his nominating
petitions."
Mr. Hargest also commended
Henry M. Stine and Charles C.
Cumbler as men who should be
elected county commissioners;
George W. Karmany, of Hummels
town, for sheriff; Ed. H. Fisher for
register of wills; M. Harvey Taylor
for recorder of deeds and Oliver C.
Bishop for county treasurer.
Reports from headquarters this
morning were that all of these can
didates are running well and It was
freely predicted that they will be
nominated next Tuesday. The so
called opposition candidates, Ed. F.
Doehne, for district attorney; Joshua
Rutherford, for county treasurer;
Carl B. Shelley, for register of wills;
Lockwood.B. Worden ror recorder,
and several others who have lined
up with them, were also busy to-day
and it was announced would keep up
their fight until the close of the
polls. By a peculiar coincidence both
Taylor and Worden are best known
among those who love sports. Wor
den is a gunner and angler and Tay
lor is well known as a former base
ball player of skill and popularity.
Taylor was formerly city commis
sioner In charge of parks and fire
department and Worden served out
the unexpired term of his father as
prothonotary following the latter's
death.
