William Howard Taft
Discusses
Root and Cox

to Article x is not that 1t takes away
the necessity for Congressional action
before war can be brought about. but
that 1t imposes the moral and legal
obligation upon Congress in certain
situations to declare war, and that
Congress cannot exercise its undoubt-
ed power to withhold the declaration
of war in such q case without commit
ting breach of the obligation of the
government under Article X. Mr.. Cox
has nowhere said and cannot say, in
the face of Mr.. Wilson'S position or
of the platform or of hts previous
statements, that he is willing to take
out of Article X the legal and moral
obligation that it contains which Con-
gSess can ignore without committing q
breach of It, Nothing which Mr.. Cox
says about the Constitution and his
Willingness to have reservation that
shall require a constitutional construc-
ton of the obligations of the league
affects this point at all. The state
ment of the pro-league Republicans,
headed by Mr.. Root and Mr.. Hoover.
and Mr.. Roots speech have made it
very clear to Republicans anxious for a
league that there is no hope for any
League at all through the election of
Mr.. Cox. 1t only means the continual
tlon of the futile deadlock between the
Executive and the Senate. The only
hope of any. progress in the right di-
rection is through Mr.. Harding's be-
coming President
1t is the consciousness of the wide
influence among pro-league Repub-
llcans OF these two statements of Mr..
Root on the league which prompts Mr.
Cox to send this trucuiant but cloudy
dispatch to Mr.. Root, which is no more
clarifying, effective or substantial
than Mr.. Cox's proposed reservations,
and leaves the matter exactly where
1t was.

MIR. Cox's telegram to Mr.. Root Is
iei'ner formidable nor impressive
Mr. roots statement to which Mr.. Cox
taxes exception is entirely true in sub
stance. Mr.. Cox has never cone in
ahyehlng he has said beyond the let
tcr OF the platform of the San Fran
CISCO convention, in which it was said
tnat there was no objection to reser-
Vatons which should interpret and
not nullify the league, and which
should clarity and make more definite
me obligations of the United States
indeed, Mr.. Wilson has said SO and
approved some innocuous reservations
presented by Mr.. Hitchcock in the
Senate.
Mr.. Coxs present statement goes
no further. Mr.. Cox has not said that
lie could consent to eliminate Article
or that he would consent to such
q reservation as the majority of the
senate imposed on Article X On the
contrary, he has defended Article X,
and both he and Mr.. Wilson have made
IT, by every reasonable implication
rom thelr words. the sine qua non
or the treaty. 1t is Article X chiefly
tnat made the question between the
Senate and Mr.. Wilson, that made the
issue upon which the Democracy based
Its position at San Francisco, and it
could have been only this in respect to
which Mr.. Cox has said that he was
at one with Mr. Wilson. Mr.. Cox's
assertion that under the league as it is
Congress must declare war before the
United States can enter war, and that
ne is willing to have a reservation
which shall declare that. does not, in
any way, help to alter the position in
which Mr.: Root correctly put him.

y. E. REYNOLDS CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION

The announcement Of Judge J. E
Reynolds, who is a candidate for re
election to the office of Judge of thu
Third Judicial District, which is com
posed of Bienville and Claiborne Par
iSheS, Is to be seen in the announce
ment column of this issue of the Dem
Ocrat. He announces his candidacy a.
subject to the action Of the Democrat
ic primary to be held in November
1920.
No introduction through the col
umns OF the Democrat is needed by
Judge Reynolds, for his splendid re-
cord as public servant during his
term OF office, is the best and most
favorable Recommendation that could
be given him.
Of 20 cases disposed of by Judge
Reynolds, and which have been ap
pealed to the Supreme Court of Louis
lana, not one Of his rulings have been
reversed. He has opened court
promptly on the minute every court
day since he was elected judge, and
has kept the docket clean so that
every litigant could get his case pass
ed upon at any time. We understand
that the fines assessed and collected
from boOtleggers and pistol toters
during his term of Office has been
more than enough to pay the cost of
the court during that time.
If reelected, we feel sure that Judge
Reynolds will strive to uphold his re-
cord, and continue to make a good
judge, tempering justice with mercy,
leading in every movement that tends
toward progress and the best interest
OF the citizenship Of both Parishes
We commend his candidacy to the
thoughtful consideration of the voters
of Bienville and Claiborne Parish.
