CASE NOW
READY FOR JURY
Cox Saws Issue is Made Up; People
Resent Plot of Senate
Oligarchy.
Nv Associated Press to Every Evening

By Associated Press to Every Evening
Springfield, H., Oct. 1.-THE League
of Nations lease is about ready for the
Jury" Governor Cox declared today IN an
address launching his Illinois campaign.
Senator Harding, Governor. Cox said,
has gwen vhat appears TO be an 1iitt-
rnatum" against the League, and the
American electorate has had an unequalled
opportunity Of making a contribution
to the civilized world. :
Following up his publication OF CORE
spondence between Wilson and former
President Taft, in which the latter ap-
peared as the President adviser in the
League drafting. Governor Cox quoted
Mr. Taft to show that the former Presl-
dent has repudiated Senator Hardngs
plan for a new world association.
Governor Cox, champIonlng the league,
gave concisely what he said were the four
great causes OF war and the four league
''cUratives.
1t has been an easy matter TO sense
the temper of the people in the last week,
he said. They resent the deliberate plot
of the Senatorial oligarchy and its political
agent, VIII II HAYS. head of the reac-
tionary forces in America, TO keep the facts
Joined to the greatest issue of the century
from becoming public.
al have found it an easy matter to pre-
sent the basic principles of the league.
II is based upon the primary objective OF
preventing war. The profound inter-
national authorities who perfected II dis
cerned the symptoms of disorder IN the
world and applied the remedy along COM
mon sense lines Reduced to few words,
the plan is this: The causes of war In the
past have been:
'First-The seizing of territory by one
nation from another by force.
''Second-The practice OF secret treaties
under which the local controversy is apt to
involve a dozen nations.
"Third-The immense national arma~
ment.
'Fourth-POwer OF monarchs or their
diplomats TO precipitate war overnight.
''The curative measures are these:
"First-Article ten of the league is
nothing except the eighth commandment,
Thou shalt not steal
.'Second-All treaties made. between
nations in the future must be filed as public
documents with the League of Nations.
"Third-A systematic process Of dis
armament is provided.
"Fourth-Differences between nations
which in the past led TO war are to be
submitted TO discussion and arbitration
for period Of not less than nine months
THE peoples of the world want pro-
lection against war. Ii cannot be given
except by a concerted action on the part
of the nations of the world. A method
entered into now by forty-one nations has
been devised. No one has proposed a
substitute Even Senator Harding admits
that in his talk of a new association of
nations he has not a single constructive
idea as to how it is to be done. The case
is about ready for the jury. To no cleo
toral body has ever fallen the opportunity
of making such contribution to the civili-
cation of the world as that which now
comes to the men and women ofAmerica. !"
Governor Cox spoke at an open air mass
meeting on the courthouse square.
