WITH THEIR BACKS TO THE WALL

their own" who have been and are still
advocating the Peace Treaty with its
League OF Nations covenant without res
eraytions, are standing with their backs
tot he wall, and with daily indications of
being completely annihilated.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania recently
gave leader Hitchcock the shivers when
he renewed his motion of last fall to pass
the treaty unreservedly as far as peace
with Germany is concerned, and leave the
League of Nations for later considera-
ton. Senator Underwood, the southern
Header, consented to it as the "Price Of
Peace" and then Hitchcock objected to
immediate consideration. That is the
course that should have been ia len in the
beginning but for the whims of President
Wilson.
And how those Democrats who were so
cocky while ago, go about making the
league party issue are now trying to
get under cover. liz it ever goes to the
people it will be another "He kept us out
of war" victory, with the lt,mocrats and
Wilson adherents on the short end. The
people will not ovte to send their boys to
mix in European wars and quarres.
A recent isslja of the Florida Times
Union, one of the great Democrat dailies
of the south, and perhaps the most influ-
entail political organ of the state, had an
editorial under the caption "How to Com
mt Suicide" in which it holds that for
the Democrat party to go before the peo-
pie tied upwith support of the treaty
would be to go down to inevitable defeat
The Editorial refers to another editorial
IN the Montgomery Advertiser which oc-
cuples relatively the same position in Ala
bama the Times Union does in Florida, al
so warning The Democrats that support
of Il h peace treaty without reservations
will split the party. The editorial in the
Times Union, in part, is as follows:
"A few days ago Senator Underwood,
IN fit af bravado, challenged the Repub-
Icans to make the league of nations Il J.
issue in the next campaign. Without re-
ferring to the senator from it's state
the Montgomery Advertiser, the ablest
and one of the biggest papers in Alabama
published an editorial on the subject
= "The Advertiser refers to the fact that
the advocates of the league suffered de-
feat despite the fact that the intemation-
al bankers who had invested heavily in
foreign securities lined themselves up in
1dNOI Ol Tic league anu CIldC CIley were
assisted by the numerous peace societies
and the majority of the newspapers of
the country. If it is claimed that the pro-
position was defeated because the Repub-
licans opposed it and had majority in
the Senate the fact still remains and must
be considered that while the Republicans
polled their full party strength, number
of Democrats joined them. We are con-
fident that greater difference exists
throughout the country than EXISTED in
the Senate and that if this were made the
issue more than 100000 Democrats
would leavet heir party while the bpub-
icans would case practically solid VOTE
Have Lost in the Test.
Whenever the test has len made the
Democrats have lost out on that issue.
They have already lost Kentucky and the
election in ore Oklahoma district shows
what would happen in that state The
Republicans would win if half the chang
es were made in the other districts that
were made in this district
IF the Democrats accept this as an is
sue they will find it hard to explain why
the United States should have no more
representation than an English colony.
They would go before American voters
and the party would be buried out of
sight,
