consciences, and not acting the petty
part
one is tempted to wonder, when Mr..
Field abandons his unjust suspicion
and comes to the conclusion that such
majority in favor of such reservations
are sincere in their positions. what
he will really and actually do OF
course, If his propaganda is based on
other than partisan camouflage there
will, in such event. be only one thing
to do-and that is to openly oppose
the murderous inclinations of Senator
Jones and the president to strange
that treaty as revised. VIII he do it?
Was he not the orator at the last
democratic state convention who an
nounced his allegiance to the presi-
dent unto the death? And right be-
fore us in his very announcement OF
his new role, he tells us how he APP
proves and supports Senator Jones
.anti-reservation sentiments and sue

Mr.. Field, where are you lat" and
where are you taking US to? How
ever difficult that may be for even
You to answer, apparently from your
propaganda there is one situation you
are knowingly taking us away from,
or trying to. with considerable degree
of alarm, apparently. and that is from
having the general electorate OF the
country pass upon the administra-
tons plan to impose a super govern
ment called the League of Nations
upon our constitution contrary to and
in subversion of the principles the
fathers gave us and gave their lives
to give u.s.
Our Foreign Affairs.
Anu cuph DpSCibiltty that Mr..
Field, shows the deepest concern in
taking us away from, on the plea that
we must have nothing submitted toI
our electorate except domestic matters
and must stand solid as rock and
present a united front so far as for
eign affairs are concerned. Our con-
stitution and whether or not it Is to
be subverted, a foreign affair, indeed |
We knew that President Wilson had |
practically asquiesced in the interpre-
ia ton of our Monroe doctrine becom- |
ing a foreign affair" by consenttng |
that the League of Nations. might in
terpret it for us. but when, pray. and
under whose auspices did the inter-
probation of our sacred constitution,
or the defense Of it by means Of bay |
onets, or reservations against what
honorable senators believe equally de- |
become a foreign affair."

A Political Dodge?
One insensibly looks for some other
conceived and concealed reason for
keeping such questions away from the
voters and the curious position Mr..
Field generally takes in this whole |
matter We may be wrong. but in
view of Mr.. Fields past political rec
ord and of his previously self-con-
fessed blind following of the president
and approval of Senator Jones course
in rejecting the treaty we ourselves
have suspicious, perhaps not as faint
as those involving the reservations
Mr. Field confesses to, that perhaps
mind the adverb-Senator Jones and |
the president may feel, as they begin
to estimate the great revulsion In pub
lie sentiment concerning such reserva-
tons which has set in during the last
few months, favorable to the republi-
can party, that they have gotten
themselves and the democratic party /
in a deucedly bad hole by knitting this
treaty with such reservations; and
Mr. Field is only true to his allegiance
in accepting some committee position
which may give him some chance to
help them out.
l hope no injustice is done Mr.. Field /
by the above, but it was said of old,
Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts. ="
