LOUIS APPEARANCE RATHER COMPLICATED Chnrges That America Wu Kept Out of War for Political Reasons (By United Press.) St. Louis, Oct. 16 (by Raymond Clapper, en route with Senator Hard- ing).—Off on the last leg of his present speaking trip, Senator Hard- ing today faced a heavy day of rear- end speeches throughout Indiana and Illinois on his way to St. Louis, where he speaks tonight. Because of the spht in the repub- ]mm organization in Missouri, Hard- ing’s schedule was so arranged that he gets into St. Louis shortly after 7 o’clock tonight, just in time for his speech, and leaves immediately after- ward for Marion. His appearance in St. Louis is rather complicated be- cause of the fact that it is the home of Jacob Babler, the national com- mitteeman for Missouri, who figured in the pre-convention financing of the pregidential boom for Lowden, of 1linoi The national = republican ommittee, since Babler did not re- sign, gave the active management of the campaign in Missouri oyer to State Chairman Hughes. Harding is now aiming for an anti- Wilson bludgeon in many directions. He is swinging it hard at the failure of the administration to enter the world war earlier. He deliberately charged in his Indidrmpolis speech that \America was kept out of the war for' political purposes and for the sake of winning the election chon- sands of American lives were sacri- ficed on the battle fields of France. Speaking with visible emotion, Harding charged this was a betrayal f American manhood, and before he was through some of the women in the audience were wiping tears away. He got into this phase of the at- tack after denying the charge made in a recent speech by Willlam G. McAdoo that he favored compulsory military training, only the peace stand of military training in America must be voluntary. Harding said the statement being used against him now is one made during the war when the administration was refusing to permit Theodore Roosevelt to take volunteers into France.

" | OF MACSWINEY, HONGER STRIEE. United Press Correspondent 5&{8 Only Death Will Prove His Case Definitely WAS NOT ALLOWED GLIMPSE OF INTERIOR Food Is Kept at Bedside But It Is Claimed Lord-Mayor Does Not Partake The United Press assigned Webh Miller, of the London staff, to make a personal investigation of the cir- cumstances ‘under which Lord-Mayor Terrence MacSwiney, of Cork, is continuing his hunger strike in Brixton prison. This was done in view of the fact that no man has ever before gone without food for sixty-four days and many believing such a prolonged fast impossible. Following is Miller's report on his investigation. (By Webb Miller, copyrighted 1920 by United Press.) London, Oct. 16.—*“Death only can or will prove defimtely whether Ter- rence MacSwiney is fasting his life away or whether he is taking nour- ishment in the hope that some turn of facts will release him from prison without making him a laughing stock. Herhas accomplished a sixty-four day fast thus far. Friends and relatives when questioned declared that' the only sustenance given MacSwiney has been the sacred host. In communicating with prison offi- cinls and attaches of the home office they refused to-talk, declaring it is . the policy -of the government to main- tain silence. Irish officials admitted, owever, that if this government were able to obtain evidence of feed:: ing, ;they would doubtless be glad to announce it to the world in the hope of belittling the mayor. Heavy police guards held news- paper men at the gate of Brixton prison. “I was unable to cajole them into allowing me a glimpse of the interior. At the home office I was received courteously but with the imperturbable statement that noth- ing could be said regarding Mac- Swiney. Muriel MacSwiney, the lady mayore ess, talked with me in behalf of rela- tives. She talked impressively of her husband’s death as a thing assured and showed no signs of worry and grief, only inasmuch as that there should be doubt as to her husband’s course. in carrying out the death strike. “We would not be able to feed Terry even if we wanted to do it,” she declared. “Prison officials watch us too closely. One of us is at his bedside day and night. They keep food at the bedside, milk and bread, in sight at all times in the hope that he will yield. Besides what would be the use of feeding now. It would only keep him alive a few days. He has given up all hopes of release and, is determined to continue his fast until death. His eventual death will prove to the world that his will has not weakened.” Prison physicians are domg every- thing to keep MacSwiney alive, his wife said. His room is kept at a high temperature and his emaciated body and the war-service certificate to the navy recruiting station nearest his home.” CONTRACTOR DAHL DIES FROM STROKE OF APPOPLEXY E. A. Dahl, ditch contractor, who has had a large ditch contract in the northern part of the county, died yes- terday-as he was being taken to Bau- dette for medical attention after suf- fering from a stroke of appoplexy. Mr. Dahl has been engaged on thic contract since 1916 and in another month would have completed it, had he lived. The contract was one of the very large ones involving almost half a millfon dollars.

HOLDS IMPORTANT MEET Last evening the organization meeting of the class in citizenship was held in the Civic and Commerce rooms. Intense interest was shown in the course of study. Miss Mabel Bonsall,~instructor at the Normal school, and Miss Anna Hoag, of the Junfor High school, gave interesting talks on ‘“What Women Need to Know Before the Coming Election.” This included how to register, how to vote, and also the platform. A very pleasant feature of the eve- ning was a talk given by Mrs. Hol- ton of Blk River, who is the guest of Mrs. H. C. Baer. Mrs. Holton was a Red Cross nurse over seas during the war. After the armistice she went from France into Italy, where she was stationed for several months. Mrs. Holton described the poliffcal conditions in Italy ahd told,what wo- men are trying to do there in poli- tics. She described the Italian wo- man as having good executive ability and trying to organize. They still retain their feminine charm and are not aggresalve or formidable, she says.
