OF LEAGUE VOTES COMING IN BY MAIL

of nations, as it will be finally drawn
and agreed TO by our most competent
servant. Woodrow Wilson.
Our reasons for favoring the league
are many, but I will mention fre or
the main ones.
First. We have made a thorough study
of the entire scheme, through reading
everything we could find on the subject.
Second. We find that stronger oppo-
nents of the league, men who have been
opposed to everything the President has
done, showing conclusively that ther
opposition is due to political prejudice.
Third. While believing in Republican
principles, we have the strongest faith
in the power and ability of our Presi-
dent to safeguard the interests of the
United States and are perfectly willing
TO be guided by his superior knowledge.
Fourth. The strenuous support given
the plan by william Fl. Taft. who is
recognized as one of the greatest au-
thorites on International law.
Fifth. We believe that the bringing
together of the various nations of the
world for common cause will bring
about a better understanding of each
other, and will lessen at least TO a de-
gree the possibility of future conflict,
and IL It should prove, after liberal
test, to interfere with our independence,
Monroe Doctrine or any other thing
that we dislike. there is nothing 10
prevent us from Withdrawing. Therefore
we are willing in the interest OF future
peace, to accept in full the plan as
drawn by our greatest of all Presidents.
Woodrow Wilson, and await results.

Sir-Congratulate you for your under
taking IN finding out the peoples senti-
ment about the league of nations. In
deed. was delighted to see that ma
jority are for the league.
I am wounded soldier and have
seen the horrors OF war through and
through. I have seen sights whicn
could make speechiess those patriots
who made millions out of this war
Those heartless individuals are against
the league. for they dream OF another
world bleeding. No right-thinking man.
no man with a human heart can be
against a society of nations to prevent
the repetition Of the boodshed
Furthermore, let me inform those
Senators who are opposing the league
that they and their sons will be the
ones TO fight the next aimless war.
There will no more exist dollar jobs in
Washington for the millionaires who
evaded military service. You who want
war 20 and have a taste of it. We had
enough.
I. am for league OF nations. for only
such society will make wars a thing
Of the past Although not supporter
of the President in other subjects, yet
am an ardent supporter of his league
scheme. appeal to every right-think
ing man to support the President in the
league question.

Sir-As a reader of the ever-clean and
welcome paper. the Public Ledger, for
more than fifty years, ! want to say that
I am heartily in favor of the league of
nations or anything that will bring peace
and happiness to the world and preHent
the bloodshed and slaughter that we
have just passed through.
did not vote for Mr.. Wilson, but
believe that he is All upright, honest
Christian man, and have every. conf
dence that he will see that the best in
terest of our nation is properly taken
care of. I know that many people are
opposed to it. but the majority of these
are made up of noisy crowd that is
never at peace only when they are at
war, and think that the earth belongs
to them and them only. England ap-
pears to be their nightmare.
AS an Irish boy, ] landed at Castle
Garden. New York, one day in June,
1865. That day | became an American,
and I have remained one ever since,
owing allegiance to neither king, queen,
prince nor potentiate, and no flag but
old glory. I have given three sons to
the service of their country, two of
them now In France and the other carry
ing wound received in our war with
Spain. All honor to our brave American
boys There should be nothing too
good for them for their willingness to
sacrifice their all for their country and
the starry banner. But what position
would the United States. France and
Belgium be in today had it not been

Ieague Is Elastic

To thc Editor Of the Erening Public
Ledger:
Sir-Critics of the league Of nations
are forever harping on the Monroe Doc
trine as II the league were to wipe that
out-did they ever stop 10 think that
there il also the Drago Doctrine to be
considerel? President Monroe gave
voice to the doctrine which bears his
name at time when the new republics
of Central America were in need of our
help if they were to. remain free, Mr..
Seward restated it when Mexico was un-
der a foreign domination. Mr.. Olney en-
larged upon it. as did Mr. Roosevelt-and
today 1t simply means that any change
of territorial sovereignty occurring in the
western hemisphere must take place in
such way that no new flag can come
in: nor any form of government which
does not now exist or is clearly created
by the people involved themselves will
be recognized by us.
There is nothing in contravention of
this in the league covenant. OF course
we can start a controversy if we wish

LEDGER was conducting. Being a former
resident of your city, I am taking the
liberty Of sending you my ballot on this
great question.
! want first TO congratulate the PhiIa-
dclpha EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER on at
tempting to find out what the sentiment
is on this the most important question
that now Confronts the civilized world
The Philadelphia EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER, in my estimation. is the lead
ing paper published in the United states,
and read 1t with great interest although
my politics are on the other side Of the
fence" It has been my privilege for
twenty-seven years to closely keep in
touch with government activities, and
through personal acquaintance with
members Of the press. etc. to watch the
course of events as directed by states
men and near-statesmen of both rarties.
! have been privileged also to contribute
to both parties campaign fund at differ
ents times.
That Senator Penrose is against this
measure seems to be entirely in keep
ing with the great record he has of mis-
representing. or rather. not representing
the people of the state OF Pennsylvania.
To one who has the privilege OF listen
ing to the speeches of the anti-leaguers
in the Senate II sounds like nothing more
than an effort to play party politics,
and possibly a desire to let this matter
rest until the new Congress convenes.
trust that by that time. the
league will be approved by the Senators
and the other reactionaries who now
have control of the Republican party
SO that the world will not be ablaze in a
greater measure, and some semblance OF
government left

Gives Reasons for Support
To he Editor Of the Evening Publ
Ledoer:

To the Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger:
Sr--I wish to register my vote for the
league Of nations basis on what l con-
ceiye-to be fundamental principles.
First. Senator Lodge asserts that
wars are the result of contact; but does
not define contact. ! would qualify the
cause of war, selfish contact, as a
fundamental principle.
Second. If. therefore, you can ex-
pose q selfish contact and establish
a just contact by discussion and arbi-
rration, You have eliminated an active
incentive to war. This / believe is the
purpose and intent Of the league of
nations.
Third. while 1t may be true that
Misrepresentation is the first law of
nature" 1t IN not the first law of de-
velopment, which may result from actual
temporary destruction. To hold 10 the
Monroe Doctrine is self-preservation, to
hold to Article y OF the covenant is
development. The development of the
Christian religion has been due to the
destruction OF many well preserved doc
trines, and even Christ Himself was
sacrificed for a higher humanity.
Fourth l can see no possible selfish
cause In the statements of the articles
pf the league Of nations to induce war.
