the war against Germany. DO
we now not care to Join in the
effort to secure them?
We entered the war most re.
luctantly. Our people were pro-
foundly disinclined to take part
in a European war and at last
did so, only because they be-
came convinced that it could not
in truth be regarded as only
European war, but must be re-
zation itself was involved and
human rights of every kind as
against a belligerent government.
Moreover, when we entered the
war we set forth very definitely
the purposes fog,ssWhich we en-
tered. partly because we did not
wish to be considered as merely
taking part in European con-
test. This joint resolution which
I return does not seek to accept
any of these objects, but in effect
makes complete surrender Of
the rights of the United States
SO far as the German government
is concerned A treaty of peace
was signed at Versailles on the
twenty-eighth of June last which
did seek to accomplish the OBJ
iects which we had declared -
be in our minds, because all the
great governments and peoples
which united against Germany
had adopted our declarations OF
purpose as their own and had in
solemn form embodied them in
communications to the German
government preliminary to the
armistice of November II, 1918.
But the treaty as signed at Yer
sailIes has been rejected by the
senate of the United States
though it has been ratified by
Germany. BY that rejection and
by the method we have in effect
declared that we wish to draw
apart and pursue objects and in
terests of our own, unhampered
by any connections Of interests
or purpose with other govern
ments or peoples.
Notwithstanding the fact that
upon our entrance into the war
we prGfessed to be seeking to
assist in the maintenance Of
common interests, nothing is said
in this resolution about the free
dom of navigation upon the seas,
or the reduction Of armaments.
or the vindication of the rights
of Belgium, or the rectification OF
wrongs done to France, or the

The workers, it was learned, will

CHICAGO, May 27.-Interest in the
Forthcoming republican convention
centered today in the contests for del
egates, scheduled to be taken up Mon
day by subcommittee of the ma,
tional committee.
! Indications were there will be 13S
contests, mostly from southern states
and involving principally the candi
dacies of Major General Leonard
Wood and Governor Frank D. Lowden
A few seats will be contested by Sen
ator Hiram Johnson. .
+ The subcommittee will collect all
data, classify it and submit its find
ings to the credentials committee.
Frank Hitchcock is expected to look
out for Woods interests in the con-
test hearings, while Angus McSween
will handle Johnson's affairs. Low
den's representative had not yet been
chosen today.
Despite the Importance of these con-
tests there seems to be not even the
remotest possibility of them swinging
decision.
With the republican pre-convention
campaign completed. the apportion-
ment of instructed delegates-conced-
ing West Virginia's sixteen to Sena-
tor Howard Sutherland on incomplete
returns-would be as follows:
Wood, 131; johnson, 113; Lowden,
80; Senator Warren G. Harding, 80;
Sutherland, Is; Senator Miles Poin-
dexter, IA.
Granting authentic claims to- unin-
structed delegates, the standing would
be:
Wood 258; Lowden, 1866; Johnson,
162; Nicholas Murray Butler, SO; Gov
ernor William c. Sproul, rs; Harding,
IS; Governor Calvin Coolidge, %;
J. C. Pritchard, 5.
Meanwhile, the democrats in nine
states and two territorial possessions
are yet to choose their representatives
at the San Francisco convention APP
potionment of instructed delegates is
as inconclusive as ever. the standing
to date being:
Governor James NJ. Cox. "A; Cover
nor Edward 1. Edwards, 28: Senator
Carter Glass, "a; Senator Robert
Owen, 20; Senator Gilbert Hitchcock,
16; William Jennings Bryan, 10:
James W. Gerard, 10; William &.
McAdoo 10.
McAdoo continues to gain in I'M
pledged delegates, the standing of the
democratic candidates, on the basis of
both instructed and uninstructed del
egates, being:
McAdoo, 26S; Cox, 1888; Edwards.
1870; Attorney General A Mitchell
Palmer, 76; Champ Clark, Sc; Vice
President Thomas r. Marshall, 30;

dith, 26; Glass, "a; Senator S. F.

A total of forty-four delegates is
involved. The last scheduled state
convention is that of Mississippi, June
