This brings Us 10 the second great
reason for opposing Senator Hard
ing. namely:
go TO check the senate oligar-
ny. IN, as Mr.. Taft seems 10 think
the people OF the United States can't
GET the league because the republican
senatorial oligarchy blocks their will
hen the senate ollgarchy, not the
league, is the Issue III the senators
lll tne League. they should beware
lest the people kill eventually the
senate. Outraged democracy la Eng
and reduced the house OF lords to
impotence. Ex-Governor Mccall OF
haAsaehusetfs. the distinguished re-
publican authority. has In the Sep
tember Atlantic Monthly sounded a
loie OF warning against the growing
entertainments OF the senate.
The republican senator's, or a 1
group OF them. should be rebuked for
playing politics beyond the waters 1
edge and over the graves OF our sol
Hers In France.
They should be rebuked for defy
ns public opinion In the choice OF
their Candidate. The people wanted
Hoover, but. In the republican con
which they controlled. the
senator's paid no heed to public senti- n
ment, not even 10 the result OF their
'wn republican primaries.
They have tried one objection 10
he league after another: for IN \
tance. that the league was written !

iat the league could compel US TO go In
war against our Will; that IL could
