AN INSULT TO CITIZENSHIP

Under the above caption The Day
ton News owned by James NJ. Cox,
Democratic nominee for president pub
hshed the following editorial
Senator Gore, summoning all the
arguments he can muster in defense
Of the Harding candidacy (Which
amount to zero), makes bold to assert
in an advertisement of a political ma
ture in a local Republican paper
Thursday night;
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AS OUTLINED BY THE REPUB-
LICAN PARTY WILL KEEP
OUR BOYS AT HOME" etc.
In the same local newspaper, on the
same day. on the front page, there
is a news dispatch from Des Moines,
Iowa, where Harding himself was
speaking. In this dispatch the nomi-
nee said:
1T is not clarifying or 'interpre-
tative' reservations for the league Of
nations that l favor. l want the
league rejected"
Previously Harding had been heck
led into admitting in his speech at
baltimore and in later public address,
es: Il say to you l am not in favor
Of going in. ! hope there is no mis-
take about that l am frank to say l
do not know precisely what sort OF
an association of nations We will
negotiate"
Tor deliberate Misrepresentation and
complete falsehood the campaign OF
the Republican national committee in
the matter of a league Of nations
is without an equal in the history
Of America. Never before, from Valley
Forge to St. Mihiel, has coterie Of
political tricksters stopped to such
disgraceful and inexcusable calumny
in order to try to win national
election.
What is the League of nations as
outlined by the Republican party re-
garding which Senator Gore talks
about SO glibly?
The Republican national platform
adopted at Chicago doesn't mention
any league Of nations.
Senator Lodge says the treaty and
league OF Versailles is hulk" that
cannot be saved.
Senator VIM. L. Borah says he is
against amy league, association or
agreement between the United States
and any or all foreign powers"
Senator Hiram Johnson quite boldly
declares that Harding has scrapped
the league
Senator Harding says he has moth
ing to offer in place of the league
OF nations,
Not a single, constructive speech II
behalf Of league has been made by
a Republican campaign speaker.
Ex-President VIM. II. Taft says, "I
had been in the United States senat,
when the treaty and league wer,
submitted ! would have voted 70
them as they were brought bacl
from Versailles" And yet Taft,
champion Of the league, comes GU
for Harding who wants It rejected.
1t is all very clear now that tn
Republican national committee ha
hoped to confuse the public mint
