WILL DEVISE ISSUES.

The general plan of action agreed
upon by the Democrats. it is under.
stood, is to divide the issues into two
categories. general and specific. Gov
ernor Cox will speak on the issues in
general. stressing this issue in one
locality, and that in another. accord
ing to the psychology of the people
of the particular section he happens
to be addressing. Other specially
chosen orators will then tackle spe-
cifc issues such as foreign relations,
domestic problems, and the like.
Owing to President Wilson's inabil-
ity to take the stump, 1t is generally
believed Secretary of State Colby will
be his mouthpiece in defending the
treaty and League of Nations. Sena-
tor Gilbert NJ Hitchcock of Nebraska,
minority leader in the fight for rati-
