ONLY CHOICE FOR VOTERS TO SUPPORT
 REPUBLICANS
(continued From Page oneo

(Continued From Page One.) peace declared by Washington, Jeff ferson and Monroe"
 The Republican party stands, therefore, firmly against the presi- dents covenant as presented, de- nounces it as breeding war rather than promoting peace, and reaffirms the time honored, nation old policies of Washington, Jefferson and Mon rooe.
 The Democratic party on the oth- CT hand rejected every effort to mod fly or qualify the presidents pro- posed League of Nations, endorsed the presidents attitude and took its po- sltion in favor of the League as pre- scented. It is true that the Demo- crats in efforts to placate say some- thing about reservations which might make clearer or more specific the obligations of the United States but the language is meaningless and does not alter the essential position of the Democratic party for the League presented.
 The two parties acted in similar fashion in one respect, but from diff ferent motives and for different req sons. Both rejected the pleas, the adoption of the league with reserva- tions, the Democrats because they
 
 the Republicans because no reserva- tions devised by the human mind could anticipate the contingencies which might arise in the future from an instrument of such potential possi- bflities for harm.
 Thus the issue finally comes from the forum of Congress to the final arbitrament of the American people The oversha flowing question in the campaign therefore is whether we en- ter the ma aelstrom of European and AsIatic politics and diplomacy and become part of the cynical imperial ism of the old world, or whether America shall live her life in her own way, independent, unfettered, mind full always of her obligations to hu- manity and civilization but free to act as each crisis shall arise and main taining always the policy of Washing ton and Jefferson and Monroe of friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none
 With a candidate standing four square upon the platform the issue leaves those who believe in safeguard ing, protecting and preserving our Am ericanisn, but one choice, and that Is to support the Republican party"
