WILSON PLEA UPSETS
COX LEADERS HERE
Try to Explain There Is No
Divergence on League.

While the reiteration OF President Will
son that Article " was the life and
substance OF tho covenant and must not
be disturbed was evidently not n sur
prise 20 the managers OF Gov. Cox's cam
paign. IL was evident OF the headquar-
tiers OF the Democratic National Com
nit,ee that the leaders were consider
ably perturbed.
At first no one was willing TO be
quoted on the divergence between the
attitude of Gov. Cox. as explained In HIS
West Virginia speech. and the President,
as stated to the Pro-League Independ-
ents yesterday. Every one refused TO
admit for publication that there was any
difference.
THE President and Gov Cox both
favor going. into the league" said
Chairman George White. "They re
both driving in the Same direction. SEM

Representative Bertrand IT, sncli
chairman OF the Executive Committee OF
the Republican state Committee, said:
There seems to be o pretty vide d.

Nations between the President and Gov
Cox when YOU consider that II was said
their minds were as one. I don't see
how any one can have any confidence
In either or be sure as TO what attitude

THE Presidents statement simply re-
affirms his previous declaration and tho

HAYS DENIES BLAME
FOR USE.O CARTOON
Declares Democrats Have Pub
lished 1t for Sordid
Political Purpose.

Chairman VIII H. Hays of the Rcpub-
ment last night showing that il had no
responsibility for the publication OF the
cartoon that has offended the religious
sensibllities of so many people He ex-
the publication, regretted il. and de-
plored the fact that the Democrats
should seek to use the inadvertence for
"sordid political purpose"
Mr.. Hayss statement said:
''The facts about the publication of the
cartoon labelled Having Difficulty in

lows
1.-The cartoon was sent to a number
OF newspapers early in October by the

Mr.. Reid and was his own idea. AS

partinent. Mr.. Scott c. Bone, kilograms
were Immediately sent TO the newspapers

explanation of the League OF Nations,
answering some of the objections to II

The President would advise Congress
as TO the recommendations of the coun-
Gill;" the heckler stated. asking then:
Would not that morally bind the Con-
gress TO do as the council says?"
Gov. Cox Immediately brought forward
the text of the Hitchcock reservations,
which the Senate rejected.
"It Is very distinctly stated in one
OF the Hitchcock reservations. he said
that we undertake nothing which binds
the United States 10 go to war, but it
has no power TO make such an ar
rangement in view Of the limitation
under the Constitution. My friends. the
covenant is based upon the idea that
civilization has had a lesson and this
covenant is simply a bet on the morality
of the world. You say TO me, How
do you know moral force will be suffi-
cient?' ! viii give you a historic
precedent. Isn't the covenant. inter-

Doctrine is on this continent? What is
behind the Monroe Doctrine except our
moral force? Have we ever had to fire

Conscience of the Nation.
That doesn't answer my question"
said tho heckler
well, then, will answer It in an
other way" Gov. Cox replied. What
you have In your mind is this What
will lay upon the conscience of the world
in the face Of a grave worldwide dis
order? The presumption is that the con-
science of every nation viii determine

but which will be effective

You ask IL we are morally bound. If
IL is a grave matter we are going to ac-

We are making a bet on the morality of

what the proposal was that was made

What did Judge Taft propose instead of

league had been ~ritten, proposed an
Article III. to their plan. which was that
the nations OF the world bound them
selves morally and legally to the joint
use OF their armies and navies under cir
cumstances such as we have described.
That would have been a supergovern-
ment. would ii not? Is that correct?"
The heckler nodded yes.
"All right" said Gov Cox. do you
know who prevented 1t? Woodrow VIII
son. The only substitute We have heard
is the one you are talking about. Per-
haps you are getting some Inspiration
from a suggestion that comes from over
the seas that we drop Article Y. out.
