W. Va. Republicans Back
Senate on League Fight

WHEELING, W Va, Aug 12.-The
West Virginia Republicans in conven-
ton here to-day adopted a platform,
nominated Frank H. Lively, of Charles
ton, for justice of the Supreme Court
and named Walter s. Hallanan State
Prohibition Commissioner, and ". E.
Stone, of Wheeling, as Presidential
elector-at-large.
I'VE indorse the National Republican
platform, and especially its sound
Americanism and the patriotic action
OF the Republican members of the
United States Senate in refusing to
give their consent to the League of Ma
lions as presented to the Senate by
President Wilson," plank of the plat
form stated in part, under the caption
"Americanism."
The platform dealt at length with the
labor question, condemning the en-
ployment of private detectives and
guards and declaring for the use of
force only by the state or local au-
thorities in industrial disputes, and
then only to maintain the law.
Mrs. Ellis A. Yost, of Morgantown,
was chosen to preside over the conven-
ton and was given an ovation.

William Howard Taft
Discusses
Governor Cox's Speech

member only as long as it's purpose Is
to maintain peace and comfy among
the nations of the earth and to pre-
vent the recurrence of destructive wars.
Certainly this does not qualify or mod
NY Article X. 1t only rcaffirms our
undoubted right, given in the league,
TO withdraw from it when we find it is
declared purpose.
The second is that the United States
must act in accord with its constitu
tlonal limitations, which the treaty
making power cannot alter. This is
only saying an undisputed thing in a
solemn way The obligations of Article
a are, of course, to be performed by
the United States in accord with it's
Que constitutional procedure. If by
thas article the United States is under
obligations to go to war, then Con
gress must under the Constitution de-
clare and maintain the war.
Mr. Lodge has admitted from the
hrst that the United States NAV agree
to make war and bind Congress- in
good faith to carry out the agreement:
but he and those who stand with him
object to Article x, not because we
have not the power to assume an obi
cation to make svar, but because under
the article it will imperl the nation
to do so by constantly dragging us into
wars IN which we can have no real
interest
Deadlock if Cox Is Elected
The supporters of the Lodge reser-
vatlon as to Article X oppose anv
obligation which may require Congress
IN good faith to declare war when, un-
hampered by the obligation, it would
not do so. This, they affirm, Article X
does. They object to putting Congress
and the United States government in
a position where they would have ,to
break faith in exercising a full dis
erection on the issue. war or no war.
Mr.. Cox's reservation that Article Y
is TO be interpreted in accord with the
Constitution does not, therefore. con-
tam the slightest concession to the
real objection of the Senators to this
article
Mr.. Wilson has not refused to con-
slcer interpretative reservations IT.
Geed, during the controversy in the
Senate he expressly indicated a will
ingness to do so. Governor Cox's sug-
gestion of his two reservations and his
Willingness, and that of the conven-
ton. to accept others of a similarly
lnterpretative character, are thus no
departure from Mr. Wilson's course.
lnceed. the convention and Governor
Cox take exactly Mr. Wilson'S position.
They all three stand on Article X as
the sine qua non. This means a con-
tinued deadlock if Governor Cox is
elected President
On the other hand, Senator Harding,
with his declared intention to secure
the purpose which he and his col
leagues had in voting for the league
with the Lodge reservations, will find
when confronting the actual situation
that brand new association of nations
has insurmountable difficulties and
that the existing league is not only
the easiest but the only practical basis
for negotiations to attain that purpose.
This gives good ground for belief that
through his election the only possib BILE
solution of the league question, to wit,
the league, possibly perfected in many
ways, but with the obligations of Ar
ticle x removed. may be secured.

Copyright. 1920. by Public Ledger Co.
IN ms we'll written acceptance
speech Governor Cox has confirmed
MS previous attitude as lone with Mr..
wilson on the League of Nations" He
AYERS that the Lodge reservations
clearly emasculate the basic principle
OF the whole peace plan He defends
article X He says: Our platform
clearly lays no bar against any addi-
tons that will be helpful, but it speaks
IN firm resolution to stand against
anything that disturbs the vital prin-
ciple"
having indicated that the Lodge res
ervations do clearly emasculate the
paste principle of the league, he thus
leaves no doubt of his accord with Mr..
iison IN rejecting the league without
Article X. He apologies for some
democratic Senators who voted for the
.eague reservations on the ground that
'hey acted under duress of politi-
ealiy olgoted minority" in a desire to
set snlhgs started. but he neither here
nor elsewhere abates the firm resolu-
ton himself to reject the Lodre reser-
vation as Mr.. Wilson did
The Governors only hope of avoid
ing the same deadlock which Mr.. Will
son caused seems to be that the ex
pressed view of the people in tho
election will induce this politicalIv
olgoted minority" who retain thei,.
seats IN the Senate and can defeat the
treaty to vote for the league without
the Lodge reservations.
Cox Called Optimistic
The effect of a popular vote unor
TINS politically bigoted minority is.
% course matter of Judgments; but he
IS much more optimistic than most
people If he thinks that those who com
pose it VIII come to the league or anv
form OF reservations which leaves nm
limited Article X. The Republican Sen
ators have put their opposition to this
srtlcIe on the ground-which in all
fairness must be conceded to be sin
cere-tnat 1t is dangerous to the public
veal They have been supported in
MS s4 view by such men as Mr.. Root and
1t is most improbable, therefore. that
the result of the election will chanoe
the attitude of the sitting Rennhl;na 8
senators. Inc very object of giving
power to minority in the Senate to
prevent the ratification of a treaty was
10 enable 1t to stand against a popular
majority and check what to 1t seemed q
Fundamentally unwise step in the
Mighty important field of our foreign
relations. Moreover. Republican Sen
ators may we'll refuse to accent the re-
suit OF the election as a popular de-
clslon on Article X. Mr. Wilson's OBJ
duracy IN sacrificing the league to that
article mas no more striking phase
than IN his unreasonable view that the
merits of the article could and would
be passed on decisively in a popular
election with so many other weighty
issues.
Does Not Modify Article X
Mr.. Cox does not at all abate bis
adherence to Article X or his oppcsi-
ton to the Lodge reservations by his
own proposal for interpretation. The
first IS that the United States will CO.
operate IN the league and remain a
