Awaiting Americas Voice

HE two candidates for the presidency
have issued their final appeals for the
support of the voters of America in the
great national referendum to be decided to-
day, and, as presented by both, the issue is
SO clearly defined that intelligent choice is
put squarely up to the conscience and pa
triotism of the individual voter as to which
set OF policies shall prevail in the working
out OF the future destiny of the republic.
On the one hand, Governor Cox proposes
that the nation shall hold steadfnst to the
purpose for which it entered tho war and
complete the work for which more than
0,00O of the pick Of American youth sacri-
feed their lives at the battles front-the
establishment of conditions of world secur-
ity which will preclude the possibility Of
wars in the future. To the keeping in
violate OF the pledge made to our sacred
dead and to the more than 100000 brave
American lads who responded TO the call Of
their country, the nation is solemnly COM
United. The league covenant, in the maxi
ing OF which Americas official representa-
tive had the leading part. provides the
means for carrying out this pledge.
On the other hand. Senator Harding is
for turning his back on the whole treaty.
81 am for staying OUT" he says. Il am
not concerned about Qualification. but am
for rejection" Thus, he definitely repu-
dates the pledge to which the country
made such magnificent response. and in SO
doing diShonors our dead and living who
answered to its call. If elected, he pro-
poses not only to break the country's
plghted faith with its own valiant de-
tenders in the hour OF its trial, but with
its associates in the war as we'll If elected,
he will refuse to submit the treaty to the
further consideration OF the Senate, but in
stead will Immediately proceed to nego

Thus, the issue Is brought straight home
To the conscience and intelligence OF indi-
vidual voters. Upon their decision rests
the future happiness and prosperity Of the
cuuntry-fOr we are at the turning point
in our destiny-and not ours alone. for as
Governor Cox pointedly submits the case:
Suffering humanity waits upon the voice
OF America. The verdict OF November ,
