No other proof is needed, 1T seems
to me, when Mr.. Wilson refused to
accept this reservation that he is in
favor of delegating the right to the
League of Nations to involve this coun-
TRY in war without the cansent of
Congress.
So Mr.. Cox accepts Mr.. Wilson's
League of Nations that violates the
constitutional rights of the American
people. and gives to England six votes
to our one, making her the dominant
force Of the League. This country has
just as much right to demand vote
for every State in the Union as Eng
land has to demand vote for each
of her colonies. No international
agreement can ever be of any benefit
to the world that is founded upon self
ishness such as exists in the League of
Nations that Wilson brought back
from Europe.
am sure the American people have
not forgotten the Democratic cam
paign four years ago when the Demo
cratic orator pictured the horrors OF
war and promised the American peo-
pie that by voting the Democratic
ticket Mr.. Wilson would keep them
out of war. He will be around 10 see
you again in this campaign with the
same old tears in his eyes and the
same tremble in his voice and assure
you if you will vote the Democratic
ticket, that war will be no more, and
the birds in the future will build their
nests in the lannon's mouth. The
League of Nations will keep you out of
war the same as Mr.. Wilson kept you
out of war four years ago.
am not unmindfuI that we were al
lies with England in great war; that
our soldiers fought and died together
on the battle fields of Europe for a
great cause, but there must be no SEN
timent in a matter so vital to our peO-
pie as an international agreement If
we are to keep our place in the on
ward march of civilization.
Give England six votes to our one
in the greatest organization the world
has ever known, and you will make
her the dominating force of the world
for a thousand years to come. Never
by any vote of mine will England be
given any advantage in any organiza-
ton that deals with the great prob
lens of the world, for her selfishness
has been a matter of history for hum
dreds of years past. If we are to have
an International agreement to pro-
mote the peace of the world, all ma
lions must share alike in the admin
is tration of it's affairs. Anything less
than that would do more harm than
good and involve the nations in a
worlds war within few years.
Let no one tell you that the Re-
publican party is not for peace and for
the betterment of humanity all over
the world. 1t came into existence as
a party in a great struggle for human
ity and the preservation of this Union.
In that struggle 1t broke the shackles
rom four million slaves and gave the
world the first free government it
3ver saw. It made Cuba free and
broke the tyranny of Spain in the Ar
and gave those people the
'irst liberty they had ever known. Our
treatment of the Cubans, Porto Ricans
ind Filipinos stands out as the great
st example Of unselfiShness the world
las ever known.
Sometime ago l read in an Associa-
ed Press dispatch that an English
ord was quoted as saying: America
aust be brought into the League OF F
Nations at all cost or some day Ameri- !
as navy will outrank that of Eng h
and, and thereby strain the relation +
hip between the two countries" If 7
he size of our. navy is to be the test J
f Englands friendship, then some day q
! may be strained AS 1 am given 4
he light to see, it is our duty as a +
eople to continue that great work. the
ounders of this Republic gave us to a
o. and if in the course of human {
vents we outstrip other nations in the /
ommerce of the world, and our navy r
utranks that of Great Britain, and the {
supremacy of the seas shall rest on 4
MS sire of the Atlantic, which | hope T
ONE day will be true, England need
ave no fear, as far as we are con- !,
erned, that our friendship will be g
riken or even strained h
The Republican party will never ac- 2
ept any League of Nations or any in
national agreement where our voting :;
