 The senatorial candidate for the presi- dency within the last three days" GOV ernor Cox told his audiences, "has de- clared positively against the League ot Nations. I am for the league and I am for it with all my soul
 In his league preachments, Governor Cox charged Theodore Roosevelt with msstating that the league could declare I war and send troops abroad.
 Reasserting that Congress only has | such authority, Governor Cox sahd. Some real friend of the great Roose- welt, if there be any who are on speak
 ing terms with the reactpnary crowd now in control of the republican party, should set this boy right concerning the | fundamentals of the league. It is q pitiable spectacle to see this son of q great sire shamelessly faded before ths l public. Out of respect for the memory of his ilustrious father, someone should | take this juvenile statesman aside and, in primer fashion, make plain what really ought to be obvious. Such emi- nent statesmen as Judge Taft and for mer Attorney General Wickersham, who, ! for the sake of party victory, have sacri- feed principles to their partisanship in assocating with the reactionary candl- date, should instruct Roosevelt junior in the A B C's of the league by reading ito him their own lucid interpretations oi the covenant, published before the sub ject had become a football of politics.
