fuse to see in the election results a repudiation of the League of Ma Democratic newspapers in calling on Messrs.1 Taft, Root. Hoover and the other Pro-League Republicans to. re- deem their promise that Senator United States into the League. The Hearst and .Munsey newspapers alone seem to hold the belief that the LeAgue figured as deciding issue in the campaign. Quotations from some Representative editorials follow:
 Up to Pro-League Republicans New York World, Dem: 4 As to the League of Nations, none account of MT. Harding's majorities Appealing from Philip drunk to Phil ip sober, they will keep their faith steadfast and unswerying. Every req of the ratification of the Covenant exists today. None of the e1emen- ytary facts have been changed by the ballots that were cast for MT. Hard Republicans like MT. Taft and MT. Root, and MT. Hoover, and MT. Straus must redeem their own pledges. The record is made and the obligation must be redeemed, or they, too, will have been convicted of de- frauding both the living and the dead.
 For Non-Partisan Settlement New York Tribune. Rep: w With an increased Republican ma jority in the Senate, the prospects of entering some kind of league are greatly improved. Democratic Sen ators in sufficient number u more than offset the 'irreconcilible' Re- pub1icans can be mustered for a non partisan settlement if those who say they are for a league are really for it. Our own judgment is that the easiest way is to enter with proper reservations the League that is It drawn. but contains elements of good and the practical difficulties of new negotiation are great.
 League Issue Submerged New York Times, Ind. Dem.:
 The League of Nations issue, the only one upon which the Democrats could have made any respectable showing was altogether submerged is plain that the Republican party, the real Republicans, lost in strength. votes and character. Great numbers of Republican men and women, in telIigent enough to examine the is sue and conscientious enough to put conviction above party, publicly and privately came to the support of Gov. Cox. It was futile, but it was sig nificant.
 What Does Country Want? New York Globe, Ind. Rep:
 The Republicans have received no mandate except to take Democrats ,out of high offices and put Republi cans in. What the opinion of the country is regarding the League of Nations is almost difficult to de- termine today as it was yesterday The voters did not want the Wilson League badly enough. to endure an other Democratic Administration, but we shall never know how many o1 how few turned against the Demo cratic Administration on account ot - the Wilson League.
 End of the League Menace New York Journal Heart:
 The country has seen an end o1 the Wilsonian kind of national Gov ernment, and an end of the danger iexpressed in the words, 'The League of Nations" es League lis Dead -New York American, Hearst:
 The League of Nations, as regard this country, is Dead.
 Europe has been notified that sht must fight her own fights, if she can not make up her mind to keep tht peace.
 Wilson's Destructive Policy New York Herald, Rep: The veredict as to the Wilson Cove nant is final. Even the President who sought two years ago the ad vice and consent of his fellow coun trymen. and when it had been rend cred refused to accept it and treate' it as non-eXistent, can scarcely dar to refuse to recognize the meanin of this tremendous vote against hin and his destructive policy.
 F1Sht Just Beginning
 New York Evening World, Dem.:
 What about the League of Nations
 Just this:
 If Cox had been elected, the Unite States would have gone into tn League.
 Inasnuch as Harding was elected the United States Must go into tn League.
 This great issue is still a great is sue.
 By electing Republican Presider the country has not changed its fun damental duty toward the greates peace movement in history.
 The final phase of the great figf has just begun.
