The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1919-11-22


ident was our chief representative, con-
Stunning about seven months of time, and
costinel this country some $7,000,000. But
one article in the entire League Of Ma
tons covenant was from the pen of the
President, that being the Objectionable
article ten. All the rest of the document
is claimed to be of British origin. The
document has been rejected by body OF
Sc senator's, representing all the states OF
our union, consuming some six months Of
time. Some of these Senators were elect
ed contrary to President Wilson's special
appeal to the people. Just prior to the
last election the President said to the
people eff you have approved of my lead
ership and desire me to continue as your
unembarrassed spokesman at home and
abroad / hope YOU will return Demo
cratic Senate and a Democratic House
of Representatives" The SO Senators, in
Guiding those elected just after the Presi-
dents appeal have carefully considered
his work at Paris, and majority OF them
have pronounced it faulty. The Senate.
both Democrats and Republicans, have
worked hard to Americanize it, and at
the last call the President asked his faith

as he wanted them to vote, to Kill the
treaty if the Senate persisted in chang
ing it according to the program of the
foreign relations committee, and the
treaty was killed.
AS to the merits of the treaty every
citizen is entitled to his opinion. Some
will think it bad thing for the nation,
while others just as honestly think it
good thing, but there is one thing that
is certain and that is it is a great disap-
pointment for the President He went
abroad with bevy of what his Democrat
ic friends have classed as clerks and ne
gotiated the treaty He brought it home
in its preliminary stage and submitted it
to the people, The majority of the Sen
ate served notice on him that it could not
pass along the lines drawn, and he flew
into rage and declared that Senators
would find the league covenant so inter-
woven with the treaty that the two could
not be separated, declared that the SEN
ators did not know the pulse of the peo-
pie, and practically said that the senate
would not dare reject it. He returned to
Paris and came back with just what the
aenate informed him could not pass He
then went to the people and while the
people turned out to see him gladly and
gave him generous applause, he cid not
create intense sentiment for his favorite
treaty Some elections were coming up
and to his great disappointment there
has not been a single election won for his
cause where the League of Nations was
the paramount issue. On the other hand
some have been won for the opposition. In
Oklahoma Senator Reed, the Democrat
Senator from Missouri, was denied
hearing against the League of Nations,
and later Republican congressman was
elected on platform against the league
of nations in the state of Oklahoma. The
same thing prevailed to great extent in
the gubernatorial election in Kentucky
and has had its effects in other places.
All of which is evidence that "straws
show which way the wind blows"
At Salt Lake City the President said
the treaty would be passed League of Ma
tons and all, he knew it would, but ev
ents have proven him false prophet. No
one imputes to him anything but good
motives, although at times he is prone to
be very unfair. The cold facts are, like
other men, he is liable to be wrong, and
in this instance majority of the SO SEN
ators, both Democrats and Republicans
have decreed him wrong, There is no
question but that he made grave mis-
take in bringing the treaty and league
covenant so interviewer that they could
not be separated. Paris declares that it
