COOLING CONDEMNS
LEAUGE OF NATIONS
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR
DENOUNCES COVENANT.

For more than hundred and thirty
years the virile forces of American
manhood has defeated the Constitu-
tional rights of the American people
on thousand battle fields, and that
same force will protect and defend
the rights of the American people to
the end of time.
There is a vast difference in the
people of the old world than here
in America. We have higher stan
dard of citizenship, and higher stan
dard of living all the way around.
In large measure those people OF the
old worlds must be left to work out
their own destiny.
You will remember that the Demo
cratic Party wrangled and fought for
days over their platform at San Fran
cisco, and finally the Wilson wing
of the Democratic party predominated
and Mr.. Wilson's League of Nations
was adopted without the crossing of a
It" or the dotting of an "i".
After commencing the President
for steadfastly opposing and reser-
vations to his League of Nations, the
Democratic platform says: "But we
do not oppose any reservation MAX
ing clearer Or more specific the OBJ
legations of the United States to the
league associates"
/ am unable to understand why the
Democratic party calls making clear
er or more specific the obligations of
the United States to the League as
sociates reservation. AS l under
stand it a reservation is one that
makes exception or reserves the right
not to be bound by that portion of
the covenant or agreement. Mr.. Cox
must repudiate his platform before
he can accept any reservation. Max
ing clearer or more specific the OBJ
legations of the United States to the
League associates is only Tightening
the chains that are to bind America
to the new super-government of the
world
That there may be no misunder-
standing as to Mr.. Cox's position, and
to show you that he and Mr.. Wilson
are one on the League of Nations, I
want to read an interview given out
by the President soon after Mr.. Cox's
nomination when he visited Mr. Will
son at the White House:
81 found what I indeed already
know and what Governor Cox has let
the whole world know in his speeches,
that he and / were absolutely as one
with regard to the great issue of the
League Of Nations, and that he is
ready to be champion in every re-
spect of the honor of the nation and
the secure peace of the world. Gov
ernor Cox will have the vigorous sup
port of an absolutely united party"
And now let me read you what
Governor Cox said:
10 he "a
and sufficiency of the Demockatic |
platform and the duty of the party
in the face of threatened bad faith |
to the world in the name of America
His thought is still of the war and i
the pledges we gave to those who
sacrificed One easily sees that as
the leader of the nation who asked
for our sons and our resources upon
4 very distant understanding and OBJ
legation, he is resolved that the faith
shall be kept. To this his thought and
lis life are dedicated. What he prom
sed, shall, if elected, endeavor with
Ill my strength to give"
Now, i want to read to you the
to Article x and Article /
XII offered by the Republicans in the
Senate:
1.-THE United States assume no OBJ /,
igation to preserve the territorial in /,
