CHALLENGES HARDING TO

Roosevelt Wants to Know How
Nominee VIII Reconcile His
Position to Roots.
IBy Associated Press.1

NEWARK. N. J.. Sept 27.-Franklir
D. Roosevelt, speaking before audi.
ences in Newark and Jersey City to.
night, challenged Senator Harding 10
take "a definite stand on the league
OF nations issue"
Now that Elihu Root is home" he
said. how will Senator Harding rec.
oncile the fact that Mr.. Root, one OF
the leaders OF his own party, has
assisted in the establishment Of a per-
rnanent court Of Justice, which Is an
integral part of the league OF nations
with his assertion before the grand
army veterans that the league Is a
monumental fraud7
Does Senator Harding suppose that
the thirty-eight or thirty-nine nations
that have already Joined tho league
are going to give 1t up to try another
experiment with the Hague tribunal,
which has been q failure for fifteen
years? Docs he expect that Europe
will scrap the league for him. for Mr.
Root for any American, or for all
Americans? Europe today Is facing
grave danger Is she going to cast
all aside to try some new wheel of
fortune? Europe is going through
with this league and she wants us In
it as guarantee that 1t will work"
Mr.. Roosevelt also pleaded for the
election OF Governor Cox as n man
who is not afraid to stand on his
own legs; one willing to take respon-
sihility and one who has a record for
constructive achievement along ad-
ministrative lines"
I'VE cannot have a successful ad-
ministration." he continued, where
the Cabinet Is strong and capable,
but where the President himself is
weak. History has shown that The
Constitution proves 1t. The President
Is the executive power. and he alone.
II the Constitution had intended the
Cabinet TO run the presidency II
would have said so. There Is needed
n President whose capability is
proven. One who has the experience
In more than one executive line. A
Cabinet OF Schwabs and Roots would
not even insure successful business
administration IL the President were
n weakling and accustomed to follow
and say aye, aye, SIR"
