No fractional Lines

When the SO Republicans Joined in
their protest against the league cove
nant with it's surrender of American
sovereignty, the Democratic publicity
bureau and the Democratic press were
at loss for line of attack. At first
the Democrats were inclined to resort
to the old trick of calling the defend
,ers of Americanism "reactionaries",
but an inspection of the list of sign
ers soon put stop to that On the
list were Hiram Johnson or California,
who had been the running mate of
Theodore Roosevelt on the Progress
sive toicket in 1912, Poindexter Of
Washington who had been prominent
in the councils of the Progressive
party, Borah, Mccormack, Cummins,
Lenroot, Gronna, and others who are
recognized by their constituents as
far from "reactionary". Moreover,
among the signers were men who had
Just been elected to Congress. Among
the men of that class were Moses of
New Hampshire; Edge, from the Pres
ident's own state; Mccormick Of Ill
inois, who defeated James Hamilton
Lewis, the Presidents spokesman;
Phipps of Colorado, Spencer of Mis-
souri,, Newberry OF Michigan; who had
defeated Ford, the Presidents special
choice for Senator from the Wolverine
state; and Ball of Delaware who had
defeated Salisbury, the head Of the
Democratic campaign in 1916.
No Signs Of Wavering
When the Democrats failed to make
any Roadway with their cry OF "reac-
tionaries", they resorted to the ex-
! pedient of representing that the ranks
| of the defenders of American nation
alism were broken by secession. Ev-
cry time any man indicated desire
that the covenant be amended he was
| classed as q deserter from the group
| that proposed to stand solid for main
tenance Of American independence,
and for preservation of the cinstitu-
tional right OF Congress to raise arm
les, declare war. impose import duties
land regulate immigration. Almost ev-
cry time ex-President Taft gave out a
statement In behalf Of the League, II
was seized upon by the Democrats and
either placed in the Congressional
Record or promulgated as league pro
paganda. But even these tactics did
not swerve one OF the 80 Senators
from the Arm determination not tG
make the supreme sacrifice" which
the President had demanded "at what
