PAPERS OFBOTH
PARTIES COMMENT
ON WILSON SPEECH

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-The effect
of President Wilson's address to the
delegation of pro-league Republicans
at the White House yesterday is re-
garded by political observers here as
problematical.
republican managers and Repub-
l1can newspapers were quick to seize
upon the presidents eloquent de-
Tense o fthe covenant, especially Ar
ticle X, as in effect rebuke to Gov
ernor Cox for his intimation in his
recent speech at Huntington, w. Va,
that he would be willing to COM
promise and accept almost any res
the senate might agree. The New
York Herald, in it's editorial today
reflects the view taken in Republican
circles generally when it says:
Governor Cox in the eleventh
hour of his INSCRIPTIONS campaign
comes out and virtually says he will
do anything to the league to get
votes. But President Wilson comes
back and says the League of Nations,
his league, Article X, and all, Is sa-
cred and let no Democrat dare touch
it,"
Governor Cox's Huntington decla-
ration is being as extensively re-
printed by the Republicans today as

by the Democrats.
On the other hand. Democratic
managers and Democratic newspa-

charge that he has rebuked the
party's candidate but that the docu-

garnering pro-league Republican
votes for Cox next Tuesday. 1t is
pointed out also that the president
is quite specific in denouncing tho
attitude taken by Harding, particu-
larly on his american first" plat
form. The Democratic view gener-
ally IS voiced by the New York
Times which says at the end of a
long editorial Analysing the presi-
dents address:
