Washington, Sent. 9.-The Demo
cratic donkey, burdened with the
League of Nations issue, is barely
creeping alone, staggering under a
succession of blows sufficient to take
the heart right out of him.
On tsp OF the impressive victory
scored by Senator George H. Moses
in winning a denomination to the
Senate by the people of New Hamp-
shire on straightout stand against
the League Of Nations, the very
stronghold of Democracy has turned
around and registered its viii strong
ly against the attempted realization
of the Wilscnian vision.
The fact that Gov. Cox, the Demo
cratic nominee for President, is hand
in glove with Mr.. Wilson on the
league issue and considers the United
States a "quitter" because 1t will not
obilgate itself to police the rest Of
the world brings the Georgia result
to bear directly on the present battle
for the Presidency
The% Administration "butted into
tie Georgia situation to try to beat
Senator Hoke Smith with Hugh Dor.
sey Thomas e. Watson, on a plat
form that he was opposed to any form
Of league, with or without reserva,
tions, beat both Smith and Dorsey
Senator Smith was not opposed to
any league, but had failed to stick to
the Wilsonian coattails on several oc.
casons and was marked for slaugh.
ter.
Politicians here Of both big parties
drawing their inferences from all the
primaries held thus far, are forced to
draw one conclusion from the results
that there is a tremendous swing
OF sentiment away from day dreams
and nonsense of all sorts and toward
common sense, away from a policy
of heads in the clouds toward a policy
Of feet on the solid ground. With
out exception wherever a primary has
been laid there has been only the
smallest shred of hope to be derived
therefrom by the party which has
elected to seek Office on the Wilson
Observation-Disclosures scheme, Demo.
Gratis here admit reluctantly that
this is true. They cannot iuggIe the
New Hampshire or Georgia results in
any manner that will help them.
