ASKS The PEOPLE
TO READ TEXT
OF The COVENANT

New York, Oct. 2s.-An appeal to
the people of the United States to see
to it as individuals that the text OF
the Covenant of the League of Nations
beginning Sunday, october 24th, was
issued tonight by George White,
chairman of the Democratic National
COMMITTEE. His appeal follows:
The great issue before the Ameri-
can people is: ''Shall the United States
join the League of Nations with such
reservations as are deemed necessary
to stress the leagues sole purpose to
insure peace and to emphasize the
supremacy of the Constitution?
Governor Cox and the Democratic
party are for going IN on that basis.
Senator Harding, if he stands for
anything. committed his party at Des
Moines for total rejection of the
reservations or notifications. "The
Democratic candidates. the Demo
cratic National committee and the
party have done all in their power to
see that the voters of the United
States acuuaint themselves with the
text of the covenant The Republi-
can party has done its best to pre-
vent this. We printed it in our cam
paign text book. The Republicans
omitted it from theirs.
Newspapers friendly to our cause
have distributed thousands of copies
of the Covenant. Many Republican
newspapers have declined to print it
This committee has distributed mil
lions of copies, the truth, crushed tC
earth, has risen again.
"Now L want to urge all friends
of the league to do these things il
