For more than a year the contest
over the presidents league of nations
has been waged in congress-" Senator

the all-engrossing and paramount is
sue. OF necessity, this issue came to
the conventions Of the two great po-
litical parties. Both the republicans
and democrats, in their platforms,
have indulged in the usual political
yerbosity, but nevertheless these plat
forms in direct opposition to each 9TH
er sharply define and clearly present
the question for decision in the No
vember election.
Says Treaty Planks Opposed.
.'The republicans were asked to In
sert in their platform a plank present
ed by Murray Crane of Massachusetts,
and the league to enforce peace, de-
claring for the presidents covenant of
the league of nations with proper
reservations. Emphatically this was
rejected.
.In it's stead the republican party
declared that the presidents covenant
failed signally to accomplish its as
serted purpose, and contained sttpula-
tions not only intolerable for an indie
pendent people, but certain to produce
the injustice, hostility and controver ~

ed.
.The two parties acted in similar
fashion in one respect, but from diff
ferent motives and for different rea-
