"a-How do you reconcile your recent
statement that the President was re-
sponsible for the failure to ratify the
treaty with your statement In your
Metropolitan Opera House speech,
March 8, 1919. as follows If the Presi-
dent insists. as / hope he Will. that the
league be Incorporated IN the peace
treaty, and brings Il back, responsibility
for postponing peace Is with the body
that refuses to ratify IT.. and also with
that part OF your speech delivered jan
uary, 1920. at the Academy OF Music.

to think that the persons who prepared
the reservations as a whole were shoot
ing down the avenue at the White
House"
Except for the questions put to Mr.
Taft in the hope that certain indie
pendent voters may be won over, Gov
Cox's League OF Nations arguments fol
lowed their usual course in speeches
not only In st. Louis but as well in
East ST. Louis and Springfield I'll. The
crowds were small. There were several
rear platform speeches when the train
travelled from Springfield. At hitch
field there was O speech which was not
on the schedule. The train was not even
to stop there, but the local trainmen
set the signals. and so Gov. Cox APP
pesred on the platform when the train
stopped and the trainmen came run
ming back TO see what had happened.

I'VE are trying 10 make a peaceful

the military and naval strength OF the

I'm those circumstances is II unrea-

Puts Nine Questions.

Nine questions were prepared Tor Mr.
Taft, picking to pieces an interview that
the one time President gave concerning
Senator Harding. Here are the nine:
~. Did you not in an article in the
Covc,lonter. under the title The Prin-
ciple We Fought For discuss Article Y
in these words: The law OF the league
with the sanction of the power of the
league, thus forbids the violation of the
international commandment thou shalt
not steal by force" 1t is the embodi-
ment of the principle that We entered
and fought this war TO maintain
"3. Did you not also In the same ar
ticle say, The Monroe Doctrine, as
originally declared by Monroe, was
Article X limited to the aggression OF
non-American nations against countries
OF the Western Hemisphere?
''S. Did you not in the same article
also use these words. Article X. is one
OF the great steps forward provided in
the league for the securing or general
peace
"a. You say ihat The League 10 En-
force Peace, of which You were chair
man, had no Article y. In its propo-
sitlon Shouldn't you have been more
frank with the American people by tell
ing them that your plan only had -four
articles in II and that your substitute
for Article X. was Article III? Can
you deny that in your Article III. you
provided for the joint use of the mill
tary forces of the signatory Powers In
event of violation of the conditions Of
the covenant?
"5. Did not your proposal carry def
mite legal obligation 10 employ forces
and IN this respect was II not very much
more drastic than Article Y. OF tho
league
&c. You say that Senator Harding haf
already voted twice for the league with
reservations, but you failed to say that
your candidate within the last two weeks
very definitely announced that IL he had
IL to do over again he would not vote
FOR the league even with the Lodge reg
ervations.
"7. You say that Senator Harding
promises that as President he will in
dorse the covenant without Article X
To whom mas he given the promisef Ger
tainly not TO Senators johnson and b.
rah. Every one knows that he has not
given il 20 the American people. Has ht
given il to your II so. Is IL not 80 much
in conflict with Senator Harding's re-
cent statement that he proposes IRON
now on to turn his back on the league
with or without reservations that i

Speaks I'm HIS own Defence.

Referring TO the controversy which
arose week ago between Senator
Spencer and President Wilson over a
speech Senator Spencer had delivered in

junior Senator charged the President
had made the pledge, Senator Reed said
81 have no interest in the political
fortunes Of Senator spencer, The only
reason ! have said anything in the con
troversy is thar senator Spencer in his
speeches quoted one OF my speeches as
authority for bis statement that the
President had made certain declarations
to the Rumanlan and Serbian delega-
lions.
"A direct denial OF the truth OF Sen

CLEANERS PICNIC.

The Cleaners of Shiawassee county
met for their annual picnic at Nc
Curdy park, Corunna, Tuesday, Aug
ust "a. The day was fine for the oc-
casion, the attendance also being good
considering that the farmers were
very busy threshing. After dinner all
enjoyed an excellent program.
The address of welcome was given
by Judge Collins in which he extended
a welcome to the Cleaners and all
American citizens and was very frank
stating that he had no time for any,
one who would denounce the Ameri-
can government. John Y. Martin
gave the response. The address of
the day was given by Ross l.. Hollo-
way, secretary Of the order. 1t was
