not able TO complete his campaign.
Whether they agree with his views or
not, the people like to see and hear
the president and the unexpected ter
mination of his tour was no doubt a
disappointment to thousands who ex-
pected to hear him. But the keenest
disappointment was felt by the presi-
dent himself, for he would have soon
entered two states, Tennessee and
Kentucky, in which he had reason to
feel that his presence was most need
ed. Senator Shields of Tennessee, is
one of the democratic members of the
foreign relations committee and has
announced that while he objects to
some of the minor reservations sub
mitted by the majority of the commit
tee, he is in favor of most of them and
will support them. No doubt the
pr esident hoped that his speaking
dates in Tennessee would stimulate
sentiment In the state for the league
that would have its effect upon the
attitude of Senator Shields. In Ken
lucky the recent election in the eighth
congressional district in which the is
sue was confined to the league of ma
tons and the war policy of the ad-
ministration resulted in sweeping
victory for the republicans in strong
democratic district. This election at
tracted nation wide attention and was
accepted as fairly representing the
sentiment of the state with reference
to the issues involved. Then too,
Kentucky Is the home of Colonel
Henry Watterson who as the presi-
dent of the League for the Preserva-
ton of American Independence Is de-
voting all his energy to the defeat of
the league covenant in it's present
form. 1t is probable that President
Wilson regarded his speeches in these
two disaffected democratic states the
most important Of all and was more
reluctant to cancel his engagements

thousands mile trip
However, the recent test vote in the
senate, right at the time the president
was making his appeal to the people
in the west, shows cOnclusively that
he has lost his fight, and the failure Of
his efforts in other places to change
public sentiment indicate that his eff
/ forts in Kentucky and Tennessee
would have been equally futile. The
senate will not accept the league COW
enant in it's present form. The reser-
vations submitted by the majority of
the committee will be adopted Thus
will the interests of the United
States be safeguarded. If the other
signatory powers desire to accept the
instrument with these reservations it
is the opinion of men we'll versed in
international law that they may do so
without calling the peace conference
together and league of nations pow
erless to draw us into war without
our consent will have been formed If
they do not accept the reservations,
F., then the people of the United States
may congratulate themselves upon
Having senate that refused to sur
render our rights and liberties in fur
therance of visionary scheme of in
ternationalism as opposed to ma
tionalsm. In either event the coun-
try is safe.
