ANTI-LEAGUE PRESS PER
Picked.

President Wilson's progress

and unmistakable friendliness OF
the audiences which greeted his
expositions Of the League OF Ma
tions these newspapers find them
selves between tn devil and the
deep sea. If they admit that 1t is
the president and not the league
that is being acclaimed, they are
thereby forced to concede his per-
sonal popularity in section that
is normally republican,. II they
attribute to the genera. sentament
for the league the throngs and the
enthusiasm which met him, then
they are compelled to admit that
he was right when he contended,
and they wrong when they denied
that an overwhelming majority
of the American people fayors the
league. = Whichever view they
take they must necessarily reverse
their own assertions.
TO those who are not myopic |
0 rotherwise affected in their vi
sion, it is plain that both the |
president and the league are pop |
ular. Whether the league is ac-
BECAUSE Of the presi-
dent s popularity, or whether the
president is popular because of
the desirability of the league is a
question which the partisans may
discuss as much as they choose
but without hope of comfort,
however they answer it.
1t is only among certain re-
publican senators that both the
league and the president are dis
liked. And the league is dis
tasteful to them not because of
its intrinsic evids, weakness or
defects, but for the sole reason
that Woodrow Wilson is its chief
chief sponsor.

letter or see it but Lad information about
the contents.
