ON HELP TO LEAGUE
Says it Goes Without Saying He
Will Favor Pro-Leaguers
in Primaries.

New York. Aug. On answer to
an inquiry from The New York Times,
asking for his response to the suggestion
made by Governor Cox on Thursday

the League of Nations with reservations,
should urge members of their party to
support in the primaries Republican
candidates who shared those views,
ex-President William H. Taft sent the
following dispatch yesterday from Point
n Picque Quebec, where he is spending
n short vacation
Point n Picque, Aug 8, 1920
To the Editor of The New York Times:
Your telegram received. Governor Cox
says he expects me to favor in primary
contests Republican Senatorial can
didates who favored the League of
Nations This goes without saying.
There are, SO far as | know, no Re-
publican candidates who favor the
League of Nations who will not favor
as the only possible league we can So
cure the league with the Lodge roscrva-
tions, especially the one rs to Article V.

ators as possible stand hv President
Harding IN the policy to which believe
the circumstances will lead him of ,ob-
tanning such an amendment of the pies

fits which the covenant without Article
Y will confer ON the world.

Clothing his thought in obscure sem
tcnccs. or his thought naturally assuming
the obscurity of words that fit its quality,
the Democratic candidate has made his
speech of acceptance of the nomination
OF his party without in anywisc disclosing
any clear, cogent or convincing reason why
he should expect TO gain the conhding
votes of the citizens With the League
of Nations made the leading issue by the
act of his political sponsor, President
Wilson. Governor Cox walks all around
the subject and does not come within n
mile of giving it his outright Endorsement
I'm this there is reflex of the attitude of
President Wilson, who lost the confidence
Of multitudcs of supporters Of League
of Nations by the very evident fact that
he would consent TO no kind Of modlhca-
ton that would be dictated by Republicans
