PHILADELPHIA, July 14.--As in the
case Of the Republicans, so In that Of
the Democrats, we must interpret their
platform declarations in respect to the
league in the light Of what their rep
resentatives In authority did when the
league was dealt with. A two-thirds
majority of Republican Senators voted
for the league with Lodge reservations.
We have every reason to expect, there
fore, that they will do so again if on
portunity offers, and that one Of this
two-thirds, If he be elected President
will give them that opportunity.
So with the Democrats, If Governor
Cox is elected President his own
declarations and those Of the platform
show that he will demand that Article
X be retained in unimpaired form. lust
as MIR. Wilson has done, and that he
will not accept the Republican reser-
vation on the article any more than
Mr.. Wilson did.
=, The Democratic platform makes all
this very plain. The platform recites
that the armistlce was granted and the
treaty negotiated on definite assur-
ance that "a general association Of
natlonS must be formed under specific
covenants for the purpose of afford
ing mutual guarantees of political in
dependence and territorial integrity to
great and small states alike" These
words are quoted from the fourteenth
point Of Mr.. Wilson's message Of Janu-
airy 8, 1918, and their meaning is en-
bodied exactly in the words Of
Article x.
The article is Mr.. Wilson's child.
The, .pEd platform \, felicitates him on the
to previously expressed American
Ideals" 1t then commends him for
"steadfastly standing for the covenant
agreed to by all the Allies against Ger
many" The platform then indorses
his firm stand against reservations
designed to cut to pieces the vital pro-
visions Of the Versailles Treaty." It
then proceeds:
Advocate Immediate Ratification
1--WE advocate the immediate ratifca-
cation Of the treaty without reserva-
tion which would impair it's essential
integrity, but do not oppose the &C.
ceptance Of any reservations making
clearer or more specific the obligation
of the United States to the League as
socates."
This last clause is only q consent to
purely interpretative reservations. It
does not in the slightest degree coun-
tenance any such reservation as that

after prolonged conferences we are

4 This word was passed to callers al
Republican state headquarters yester-
day, together with the information that
all the big leaders in the party, with
one or two exceptions. were in favor OF
Miller's designation.
But the opposition, led by Fred
Greiner, the veteran leader of Erie
County, are planning surprise for the
Millerites, and one Of the faction op-
posed to Miller's nomination declared
yesterday that before Greiner and his
followers got through, there would be
another tale to tell.
Wadsworth Opponents Busy
Another split in the party was
threatened by the faction who are OPP
posed to United States Senator James
w. Wadsworth jr. Formal notice has
been served on the leaders that if the
convention designates Wadsworth,
thousands Of Republicans, who are op-
posed to Wadsworth because of his
militant stand against woman suffrage
and prohibition. will oppose him openly
In the primaries, and if they lose will
turn to the Democrats.
Men who like T.adsworth personally,
and who are prominent in the affairs
Of the party, are hoping that Wads-
worth will withdraw. But with the
backing of William Barnes, State
Chairman Glynn, George w. Aldridge
and a few other men from up state, and
Jacob A. Livingston, of Kings County,
Wadsworth hopes to overcome any sort
efopposition.
United States Senator William A.
Calder, head of the anti-Livingston fac
ton in Kings. is one of those who is
hoping that Wadsworth will retire and
save the situation.
Several upstate leaders who are not
tied up with the Barnes Wadsworth
machine also are passing the word that
Wadsworth cannot carry their districts,
either in the primaries or in the gen.
eral election.
Would Not Designate Man
Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore, chairman
az the state women's executive COM
,littee, has advised that the Saratoga
convention designate no one for United
States Senator.
The Anti Wadsworth faction in the
party are considering putting either
Colonel Arthur Woods or President T.
II. La Guardia, of the Board of Alder
men, in the field against Wadsworth.
The fight against Wadsworth, it is
feared, may grow to such proportions
that the convention may adjourn with
out designating any ticket, following
the precedent Of two years ago.
The Millerites are striving to avoid
such contingency. They are now try
ing to get the majority of the thirteen
candidates for the nomination for
Governor to declare themselves in
favor of Miller

CATION Of the United States at all under

ii was the Republican reservation as
to Article x which Mr.. Wilson at
tackled not once, but often. He said
league and that the reservation was a
knife aimed at it's life. He said that
if Article X was substantially inn

Democratic Senator'S to reject the
league with the Republican raserva-

the Republican Senators and Mr.. Will
