MecoMes STRIKES AT WILSON


Hon. William F. McCombs, chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee in 1912 and until 1916, gives
the Wilson organization the worst
blow yet.
| Here is some of his shrapnel:
"They tell me that America has
pledged its word to Europe and that
this word must be redeemed in the
process Of a national campaign. In
my belief America has pledged itself
to nothing" Mr.. McCombs hits the
president badly blow and tells the
truth. America has pledged itself to
nothing.
"One individual speaking as such,
permitted Europe to believe that he
spoke for a nation, for in the last an
alysis, he was nothing more than a
self-appointed emissary." One indi'
vidual? Who is he? President Will
son, the self-appointed emissary who
undertook to commit the United
States in advance to his policy. ''Per-
mitted Europe to believe" says Mr..
McCombs. 1t not that deception?
America is asked to validate sig
nature affixed abroad The sigma
ture was without authority. without
the consent of two-thirds of the SEN
ate. "In this particular instance
there has been no concurrence" says
Mr.. McCombs.
I'VE do not want to commit our,
selves to the league of nations as it
was brought back from Europe" In
this Mr.. McCombs agrees with the
senators who refused to ratify under
orders from the White House.
ut is an international issue. but it
is highly debatable question as to
what importance it should have in
national compaign. True yet Pres
ident Wilson has forced it into the
campaign.
''In this moment (the outbreak of
the war;, the chief executive again
repeated that he was the leader of
his party, conception heretofore new
er entertained by an American. AS
well might the chief Justice of the
United States, Mr.. White, Democrat,
have made the same proclamation. So
might the speaker of the house of
representatives, Champ Clark. So
might the vice-president, Mr.. Mar
shall" Come to think of it, this is
true. President Wilson assumed ev-
erything in and out of his party. Mr..
McCombs lifts the lid-in factj rips it
off.
"In such a manner for the first time
in the history of this country. autoc-
racy came into being. But
this unhappy hour has passed and at
San Francisco we again return to true
democracy. regardless of place-hold,
ers and pot-hunters. We have finished
with the fine phrases. This country
is determined to act in accordance
18th its unfailing sense OF justice.
The indignities of autocracy will new
er again be accepted by this nation" !"
No president, no public man in any
party has received such a severe in
! dictment as this from member Of
his own party associates. 1t is the
worst yet for the Wilson organization

sentimental considerations, nor BY

that the United States entered thu
war "to make the world safe for de
