Nobody knows what the league of na- tions plank in the democratic plat- for means, but experience teaches us that it will be construed to mean any- thing that bappens to it after election. If the democratic press and politicians had not been busy for two years abus- ing republicans for telling the truth about it they might have admitted the truth themselves and gone to the polls with a platform declaration susceptible of but one meaning. They liberally abus- ed and libelled republicans for their criticisms of Mr. Wilson until the time arrived when they had to put him up or do the other thing. They took no chances and mark the = prophecy. The time may come when the lion will eat straw like the ox, and the kid will seck the lair of the leopard, but never will the democratic jackass pillow his aching and bewildered brain upon Article 10 of In Keynote Speech at Republican State Convention in ‘Hart- ford, Senator McLean in Reviewing the Democratic Ad- ministration Classed President Wilson a Failure “as Soldier, as Statesman, and as Peacemaker”’—Declared Pulse of Public Was Shown When the Voters Declined to Accede to the President’s Appeal to Elect a Demo- cratic Congress—The Senator Declared Himself a Firm Believer in State and Community Government—Con- fident Senator Brandegee Will be Re-elected by a Vote That Will Surprise His Critics—Positive Women “Will Cast Their Maiden Ballots With Conscientious and In- telligent Regard for the Future of Their Beloved Coun- try”—Senator Brandegee Will be Renominated Today, State Ticket Named, Presidential Electors Selected, and Platform Adopted.

Condition of Hunger Strikers is Serious Youth of 19 Collapsed, But Regained Ccmciwmzui Several Others in a Very Bad Way. Corlk, strikers ing the Sept. 8.—The eleven hunger in Cork jail, who are undergo- i twenty-ninth’ day of their self- imposed fast, are all in a serjous cond tion. Sean 'Hennessy, the 19-year-old youth of Ballingarry, Limerick, collapsed this afternoon and remained unconscious for a time. His parents and the prison chaplain are at his side tonight. The deputy lord magor who made the announcement after his daily visit to the hunger strikers, said that the con- dition of several of the others was very bad. The feeling seems to be growing that all the prisoners will soen be released. The bishop of Cork informed Tha Asso- ciated Press today that he had gained the impression during a recent visit to London that the government would shortly liberate the Cork hunger strik ors. LORD MAYOR MACSWINEY “LIVING ON HIS VITALITY” Tondon, Sept. 8.—Mrs. MacSwiney, on leaving Brixton prison this evening af- ter visiting her husband, the lord mayor of Cork, said that twice this afternoon the attending physician had warned her not to speak to her husband, as he was “living on his vitality.” She added that the mayor suffered from giddiness this afternoon. Friends of the lord mayor, his wife said, were much encouraged at the pres- ence of Premier Lioyd George in Eng- land, following his return from Lucerne vesterday. and hoped that something might ensue favoring the Irish pri oner. E Ex-Premier Asquith, answering an appeal from John Howard Whitehouse, former liberai member of the house of commons, for his intervention in behaif of Mavor MacSwiney, said: “I think the decision to allow the lord mayor of Cork to die in prison is a political blunder of the first magn tude. 1 would gladly intervene if any appeal of mine could lead even now to wiser counsels prevailing, but I fear that the latest declaration of the minis- ters precludes any such hope. POPE HAS INTERCEDED IN BEHALF OF MACSWINEY Rome, Sept. 8.—The pope ha sinter- ceded in behalf of Lord Mayor MacSw ney now in Brixton prison, London, ac- cording to the Giornale D'Italia.

Redmond Howard, nephew of the late John Redmond, has written a letter to Premier Lloyd George in which he offers himself as a hostage for Lord Mayor MacSwiney. Mr. Howard ‘recently sent a_telegram to King George urging clemency for the Irish hunger strikers. the prosperity of a self-governing people. It can be. trusted to do evervthing that can be done to relieye and lighten the burdens that in any event must be borne because of the war and democratic ex- travagance and unbalanced fiscal legisla- tion which they themselves now condems. Harding and Coolidge. Senator Harding is a man of tact and patience and infinite common sense. He is able and honest, courageous and above all_intensely patriotic. Mr. Coolidge will inspire confidence and win many votes because of his high character and splendid record. I do not like personalities, and .1 shall say but little about the candidates of the democratic party; but judging from their conduct since they were nominated Mr. Cox has much to learn and Mr. Roosevelt has much to unlearn. The fact that the party which spent a large portion of its time abusing the real Roosevelt should now cherish that name as its most valu- able party asset is characteristic but far from reassuring. ‘Woman Suffrage. 1 presume it will be expected that I mention woman suffrage before I close. Woman suffrage has been a certainty for more than a year, and since February the date of its arrival has been a matter of months only. For this reason 1 have be- lieved that it was unfair longer to inter- pose factitious or facetious opposition, and that Connecticut should avail herself of every opportunity to end the suspense and expense to which the contending par- ties have been put. 1f the women of Con- necticut think that I have held this opin- ion for the sake of making my own peace with them in the event I should be a can- didate for re-election, let me assure them that I am quite ready gracefully and gratefully to retire to the blessings of private life at any time. In what I have said about suffrage I do not wish'to be understood as having any controversy with our beloved and hopored governor. I have the greatest admiration for his courage and loyalty to duty as he has been given to see his duty. His long and eminent career as judge and executive have won for him the profound gratitude and affection of his fellow citizens of all parties. But now that suffrage has ar- rived, I think it should be made welcome, and I hope that all doubt as to the suffi- ciency of the ratification of the nineteenth amendment will be removed by the gen- eral assembly of Connecticut next week. 1 also hope the women will bear the bur- den of the ballot faithfully and constant- 1y and wisely, for in no other way can it be borne successfully by either sex. Whatever may happen two years from now, 1 am sure the women will cast their maiden ballots with conscientious and in- telligent regard for the future of their beloved country, leaving all other consid- erations where they belong. This is no time for experiments. The mothers of America rightly look upon the sublime courage and patience of their sol- dier boys as @ priceless national asset. These boys won for them and us the ad- 300 Persons Killed by Earthquake in ftaly Se undred Were Injur- used Heavy Dam- age in the Northern Prov- inces. Florence, Sept. 8.—Graver news from the ‘area affccted by Tuesday's earth- quake was received today, the number of victims being put at several hundred dead and injured. The quake caused great damage in the provinces of Flor- ence, Lisa. Leghorn, Lucca, Matsa Car- rara, Regzio D'Emilia, Modena and Pia- cenza.

A DOZEN ADDITIONAL EARTH SHOCKS FELT Florence, Sept. 8.—A dozen additional ve been felt in the afflicted re- since the first one, further increas- = gion ing the terror of the ponulation. Fortu- nately no fresh disasters are reported. Teiephonic communication with Massa Carrara is interrupted. At Pisa the inmates of an asylum for the insane were terror stricken and tried to escape, some of them succeeding. Drisoners clamored to be liberated but were caled when they were transferred to a large courtyard where there was Iittle danger of the walls falling on them. Up to 6 o'clock tonight the number of dead reported was thirty-two. It was said bodies were under the ruins. Numerous rescuing parties are at work, tut food. blankets and medicines are scarce. The lack of ice is especially felt there are many suffering from cerebral concussion. From scores of small towns and v EeS come reports of great destruction io homes.

TWO NARROW ESCAPE: LIEUT, FOR COLONEL ROOSEVELT Joplin, Mo., Sept. 8.—Lieutenant Col- onel Theodore Roosevelt had a_ narrow escape fro mdeath here today while pre- paring for an aimplane flight to Vinita, Okla., to fill speaking dates. The plane ran away with :Colonel Roosevelt before the pilot boarded it.' Colonel Roosevelt managed to jump from the fusilage and land free of the rudders. Colonel Roosevelt was entering the front seat of the plane in which Bert Chand- ler, candidate for congress from the first Oklahoma district, was sitting. while Paul Meng, the pilot. gave the propelier blade a twist. /The throttle was to hight and the big machine tore wildly down the fleld.

S.—Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt escaped in- jury in an airplane accodent a second time today when the airplane carrying him from Joplin, Mo., to Vinita to fill a speaking date, crashed into a fence and a tree at the fair grounds here. None of the four passengers in the plane was hurt. “Accidents will happen.” Roosevelt said as he left the scene of the second smash- up and jumped into another plane to continue his trip to Okmulgee.
