OPEN TO CHANGES
Speech Bears Convincing
Weight Editor Asserts.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.-The Evening
Bulletin, in commenting on Elihu Roots
speech, says;
More than two months ago. while In
Paris on a mission to which he had been
summoned by the allied Premiers. Elihu
Root was quoted as saying: The pur-
pose of my visit is, in principal, TO ex-
anime the organization of the League Of
Nations on the basis of collaboration be-
tween the United States and the Western
Powers 1t Is to establish this plan OF
action that I am in Europe
Bearing that In mind, there is. des-
pite the modest and diplomatic dis
claimer of any special knowledge, con-
vincing weight In his declaration of
belief, in the course of his New York
address last night, that there arc
clear indications that the other nations
concerned are willing to make such
changes as are necessary to meet the
American objections.
THE readiness of the European Pow
ers to enter into new negotiations for
such an international association as
shall meet the American objection to
the Versailles covenant has previously
been evidenced in various ways. But II
it needed further confirmation, II could
not have been corroborated with more
authority, save by formal official COM
munication, than by this statement of
Mr.. Root, who has recently returned
from conferences in European capitals.
to which he, although a private citizen,
had been summoned for tina. Identical
purpose"

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 20.-"Elihu
Root" said Secretary of War Baker in
an address here to-day, "proclaims
himself believer in the League of Ma
t!cns. He makes, moreover, specious
Plea against one of the provisions OF
the big covenant, which plea Is calcu
lated to mislead people who 10 not
realize that he speaks not tudicially on
the real merits Of the case but as N
attorney for his client. the Republican
party, which Is again resorting to his
great abilities to pull 1t out Of pre-.
dicament.
In the present case his party is d.
Wded by a straddling plank and an
oscillating candidate, and Mr.. Root u.
appealed to. as the great compromiscr
and conciliator. to find a ground upon
which proleague Republicans can OBJ
jet to the covenant as drawn without
abandoning the hope that America will,
ultimately go into the league.
without Article X. there will be no
concerted action OF the nations OF tn /.
earth to restrain the violence Of thu
strong against the weak" the speaker
said, and added: Mr.. Roots whole life
~ lawyer and statesman pleads for the
establishment OF. right as against force.
The logical allegiance of his life, there
fore. Is for Article X. his momentary
task as attorney for the Republican
party requires him to advocate indi-
rectly q philosophy to which his very
Instinct is opposed"
Secretary Baker arrived here to-day
with other speakers. who are making a

President Eliot sees the basis of our ma
tional character being frittered away, and
praises as a light bringer the autocrat

tuition is not a trifie to be squandered in
order TO crafty the ambition of any po-
litical schemer. Mr.. Thayer says 1t can
never he so changed as to give away the
essential principles of democracy and
still serve as guide and pattern for the
United States.
Among other things he says:
Woodrow Wilson has shown how a
man, aiming equally at autocratlc
power. always INSCRIPTIONS and auda-
cious when necessary. can, by simply
sitting In his office with his typewriter
and composing seductive addresses, ar
rive at the same end as the man on
horseback. Machiavelli taught us long
ago that religion and sanctimony, ad-
roitly used. were as effective as armies
in building up and solfdifying the des-
pot
Let the advocates of Wilsonian
Idealism beware. When their dupes
awaken. they will resent being tricked.
and In their rage they will storm
against all Idealism. Woe to the man
who poliutes Ideals! We are told that
the women who will vote for the first
time at this election will be caught by
the Wilsonian trap. I do not believe 1t.
In the long run women have a surer
instinct than men for Ideals and for
separating the True from the False"

VIEWS ROOT ADDRESS
AS VOICE OF EUROPE
Baltimore 'NeuOs' Calls Him
Advocate of Peace

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
BALTIMORE. Oct 20.-The Baltimore
Evening Netcs says to-day editorially:
Mr.. Elihu Root is, and has long
been known to be, a devoted advocate
of International cooperation for peace.
Throughput the long treaty fight he has
advocated using the covenant. with pro-
per amendment. as the basis for world
wide undertaking to that end He is in
the minds Of many Americas foremost
statesman. He Is the one other Ameri-
can to whom those who idolize Mr.. Will
son accord n position in the same class
with their idol.
He Is the one other American, besides
Mr.. Wilson, who has come personally
and intimately in contact with the raen
and forces that are guiding Europe and
trying to guide the league through the
vicissitudes OF the wars political after
math, and he has this immense advan-
tage over Mr.. Wilson. that he comes
fresh from conference with those leaders
and has had the benefit of their impress
sions as altered by the events of
eighteen months since Mr.. Wilson re-
turned.
Mr.. Root could not, of course. refer
to what he learned in Europe in the
course of his speech at Carnegie Hall
But that speech was made by a man
who knew his subject from the stand
point of other nations as well as our
own. and Ii comes almost as near as
surfing their earnest cooperation in the
scheme he indorses as would their an
nounced pledge. 1t Is unthinkaple that
Mr.. Root. with all his record, experience.
and means of exact information. W Juld
rise to his feet TO urge an American
plan of cooperation unacceptable to
Europe and therefore lmpracticabie. He
Is in a position TO know whether Il 10
practicable, whether It would be accept
able to Europe or not"

1T Is also untrue that I am one OF

SMITH RAPS MILLER
ON PRIMARY LAW
Demands in Syracuse That
Judge Outline His Stand
In Measure.
REVIEWS CANAL ISSUE
Governor Says He Has Been
Misrepresented on Social
Welfare.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
SYRACUSE, Oct 20.-Gov. Alfred E.
Smith called upon Judge Nathan l..
Miller to outline his stand on the direct
primary law at meeting tonight In
the Judges home town. The Governor
was greeted by a crowd of 5000 packed
into the Wieting Opera House, where
he spoke with Rabbi Wise Of New York
city and Senator Robinson Of Arkansas
He urged Judge Miller to get away
from the st. Lawrence for at least one
night" and discuss the future of the
State of New York. While decla ring
his approval Of the Democratic national
platform the Governor said that he is
opposed to the St. Lawrence Canal
project
II won't stand on this stage and say
that the direct primary law Is perfect
said Gov. Smith, ''but do say that the
principle underlying It Is something that
should be protected. II puts in the
hands Of the members Of q party the
control Of that party. We don't want
to go back to the disrerutable conditions
that surrounded the old convention
system.
Where does the Judge stand? He
must stand on the plan they drew for
him at Saratoga. At the last sessio:,
they sent down to me bill to repeal
that part of the direct primary law re-
lating to Supreme Court Justices 1
found that 1t was drawn specially for
this Fifth judicial district In which Syr-
acuse 10 located. They didn't think the
voters here were capable OF nominating
judicial candidates properly"
Going into the question Of water power
development. Gov. Smith charged the
water power OF the State Is in the hands
Of few interests who want private de-
velopment.
Judge Miller has taken q stand with
the reactionary group that drew his
platform for private development, -
charged the Governor.
Gov. Smith said no subject has been
so greatly misrepresented as has social
welfare. He said he wants the State Of
New York to help the women and chill
dren unionize so they can fix a living
wage for themselves. He vigorously at
tackled Chairman George A. Glynn OF
the Republican State Committee for his
attack on the Governors attitude to-
ward the farmers. He said he didn't do
anything for the farmers because
"Glynn's party" wouldn't let him.
II called the farmers into conference
and told them the Agricultural Depart
ment and the Department of Markets
were nothing more than patronage ma
Chimes" he said. George Glynn and
his party prevented me from getting a
good live Department Of Agriculture"
The Governor denied that any bill had
ever come to him repeating the day
light saving law. He said he believes
the great majority of the people In the
State favor daylight saving. He ex-
planned that a bill ito satisfy both the
farmers and the city people" came to
him and he vetoed II.
And I don't think the farmers are
going to stand against me for that"
he concluded.
The Governor said he believes he has
made good at Albany and he is confident
that he will be returned there.

concerning TO the group which has In
sisted that he is committed to the cove
nant by the prominent part he took
in preparing the framework for the
Court of International Justice.
HE Launches a dogma Of fallibility
against the President and clinches 1t
with the assertion that II he had not
been stubborn, self-centred and AFRO
gantly autocratic. the treaty would have
been ratified with reservations approved
everywhere and the world war would
have been over. Root puts 1t quite In
extensively. but not the less emphatically.
He leaves no doubt OF how and why
