Statement By Democrat Was
Answer to Harding's 0bjec-
tiOn to Questioning.
(sy Associated Press

Yankton, S. D., Sept. Ex-Governor
Cox issued a statement here today
rebuking Senator Harding for the Re
publican nominees objection to ques-
tioning during the Senator's speech
in Baltimore last night.
The governor declared that the
senator was asking the American
people to follow him on the league
not know his own policy. The state
ment was, in part:
The candidate should welcome
inquiries. l can understand how a
member of a senatorial oligarchy
which throughout the years has de
fled public interests and wishes,
would develop as a habit the thought
that the senatorial mind should NOT
be questioned.
In our campaign through the West
the purpose has been to counsel with
the people and in this experience I
have not only welcomed but invited
questions. 1 can understand how a
candidate whose cause is indefensible
and whose attitude is vaciIating
would avoid what the senator desig-
mates as discourtesy.
Senator Harding would have the
American people follow him and ig-
more the intensive labors OF eminent
men. His message to the Americans
is: know not where l am going.

WILSON ENTERS
FIGHT FOR COX
President Issues First of Series
of Public Documents to Aid
Democrats.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. Sept. 28.-President
Wilson took his first active part today
in the presidential campaign. He had
Secretary Tumulty write the first of
O. series of documents regarding the
league of nations and other public
questions which it is proposed to issue
from the White House to further the
candidacy. Of Governor Cox. 49,. -
The document was in the form of
a letter Of E. NJ. Swartz of Los Ange-
lies, Cal, discussing the league of ma
tiOns covenant in relation to the Irish
question. Mr. Swartz had written the
president that some Republicans con-
tended that if the league covenant was
ratified with article 10 in it, this coun-
try would be bound to support Eng
land in holding Ireland under subjec-
tion."
In his letter of reply Mr.. Tumulty
called attention to certain questions
and answers with reference to article
10, and the question of self -determfla-
tion which were made public by the
president while he was on his west
ern tour in the interest of the league
year ago.
The letter to Mr.. Swartz follows:
I'm reply TO your letter of the goth
of September. l beg to say that the
identical questions contained in your
letter, with reference to article \ and
the right of self determination found in
the covenant Of the league Of nations,
were placed before the president while
he was on his western trip last year
and fully answered by him. The presi-
dent directs me to call you attention TO
the following questions and answers
given by him to the press at the time
which l think satisfactorily answer
your inquiries. The questions and an
-wers are as follows:
"Q-Under the covenant, does the
nation obligate itself to assist any
member of the league in putting down
a rebellion Of its subjects or conquered
peoples?
Alt does not.
"Q-Under the covenant. can this
nation independently recognize a gov
ernment whose peoples seek to achieve
or have achieved their independence
from a member of the league?
"A-The independent action Of the
government of the United States in
matter Of this kind is in no way limit
ed or affected by the covenant Of the
league Of nations.
"Q-Under the covenant are those
subject nations or people only that
are mentioned in the peace treaty en-
titled to the right of self-determina-
tion or does the league posses the
right to accord a similar privilege to
other subject nation or people?
Alt was not possible for the peace
conference to act with regard to the
self determination of any territories
except those which had belonged to
the defeated empires. but in the cove
nant Of the league of nations it has
set up for the first time in article NJ
a forum to which all claims of self de-
termination which are likely to dis
turb the peace of the world or the
good understanding between nations
upon which the peace Of the world
can be brought
"Q-Why was the case Of Ireland
not heard at the peace conference. And
