MROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
coz. HUNTINGTON. W. Va. Oct rs.
Governor James M Cox's belief is
that in the event Of his election, he
can obtain ratification of the peace
treaty through a compromise with the
senate based on a series OF reserVa-
tions about "half way" between those
of Senator Hitchcock and those OF
senator Lodge, it was learned today.
This is the Interpretation which the
governors advisers who are with him
on his stump tour place on his state.
ment here that "the sort of agreement
which I shall be enabled to obtain will
be determined by the senatorial cleo
tions."
The governor has made it plain he
considers the ratification of the treaty
of vital concern to the United States
and to accomplish The end he will be
willing to go considerably further
than President Wilson did in effecting
a compromise. Wilson approved the
Hitchcock reservations but rejected
those of Lodge. Cox said if too much
has to be given in compromise now 1t
can be corrected or modified by the
people ait later elections.
Democratic leaders believed Cox's
statement that he will accept the
views Of the senate to considerable
extent will be a big factor in swing
ing more proleague republicans to
the democratic fold. Cox is confident
republican leaders such as Elihu Root
can no longer attempt to claim he
wants the league just as negotiated.
After stops at Kenova. West Vlr-
ginia and Ashland, KY, today, Cox
will be back in Ohio for the final fight
of the campaign. With just week
remaining he win continue to stress
the league as the dominant issue of
the campaign.
Upon concluding his trip through
the mining districts of West Virginia
the governor said he was confident Ia
Dor is for the league.
F. c. Roberts, representative OF the
American Federation of Labor. who
has been touring the state told the
governor today eighty-fve per cent of
West Virginia working men will vote
for him and he is confident this will
swing the state into the democratic
column.
Not Heart Of Covenant.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Republican
managers are planning to make ex-
senstye use during the latter days of

~ Leon Bourgeois, president of the
council Of the league of nations, to
American correspondents in Brus-
sels.

, ceptance OF the article with suitable
reservations.
Democrats believe Bourgeois views
do not affect the issue, pointing out
they are personal and individual and
come from a man who differed with
| President Wilson and other peace
conference leaders as to many de-
tails Of the covenant. Also, they
point out in the same interview,
which was ok'ed by Bourgeois before
publication, he admitted article ten
was the 'smoral foundation Of the
covenant"
Republican managers today were
making much of what they term
Cox's Throwing over" of Wilson in
the democratic candidates statement
in reply to the query of the fifty re
publicans and democrats whether he
would, if elected, accept such modifi.
cations to the league as might be
approved by the senate. They inter.
pref his reference to possible com
promise as a distinct departure from

Democrats. however, insist there is
nothing in the Cox statement justify

would go so far as to accept the
Lodge reservations.
Article Ten Not Vital.
[By Raymond Clapper, United Press
Staff Correspondent
MARION, O., Oct. 26.-Possfbility
that the league of nations covenant
may be- amended so as to permit
Senator Warren G. Harding, il elect
ed president, to propose that America
ratify the revised pact, was seen here
! today in the statement by Leon Bour-
geois, president of the league coun-
Gil, declaring that article ten is not
o; tho covenant.
The statement OF M. Bourgeois
aroused considerable speculation
around Harding headquarters, but
failed to bring forth any official ex-
preston of opinion. It is regarded
as a feeler, and the candidate may
shortly have something to say about
it.
Senator Harding has never turned
his back entirely on the league of
nations idea, although he is unre-
servedly against entering it as 1t now
stands.
M. Bourgeois is supposed here to
have taken his cue from Senator
Harding's declaration at Rochester,
N. Y, that he will never, as presl-
dent, send to the senate covenant
with article ten in it
In all his attacks on the league,
Harding has centered his fire on
article ten, and considers this one
clause utterly impossible of accept
ance. With that provision eliminated,
the whole question might appear in
new light, and what Senator Hard
ing would do in that case is prob
lematical.
The republican nominee has al
ways insisted his course as presi-
