Bisbee daily review., 1920-06-18

!
 They have been aud are being en-
 forced with as little injury to the
 welfare of the country and rights of
 individuals as possible. don't know
 that 1 would even care to defend my
 policy that l have deemed essential
 to the fullest protection of the na-
 tional interest. That would be too
 much like offering an apology where
 one is not needed. I do not believe that my course calls for an apology
 of any kind
 1 The Republican. and not the Dem ocratic policy, has been responsible
 for any bad effects that have resulted
 from the failure of the Republican ! senate to ratify the Versailles treaty and the covenant of the League of i Nations"
 "The Republican policy or negation
 has been persisted in for the sole par ticular reason of advancing Republi- ! can chances for winning the coming presidential election and has never re- | flected sincere effort to amelioriate 1 the effect of measures adopted for pro- tecting the country in time of war. The Republican policy has been rath-
 CT to e1aggerate the effect of these measures"
 Names No One
 The President declined to discuss tion.
 Il have the greatest faith" he said,
 in the intelligent appreciation by the delegates who will assemble at San Francisco two weeks hence to write the platform and nominate the stand ard bearer of our party. They will
 have before them Republican platform and will have estimated the effect of 1t upon the people generally. They Will have. from whom to select candi- dates for the presidential and vice presidential nominations, a number of excellent men. 1 should not want to express any preference or opinion re- 2ardinS either persons or platform, which might influence the minds of the men whose votes will ultimately decide both.
 hope and believe that the plat form to be adopted at San Francisco will be more progressive and clearer to the understanding than that drawn by the Republicans at Chicago The character of the men who will sit as delegates in the San Francisco con- l vention should be sufficient guarantee 1 that the issues upon which the cam | paign is to be fought will be met with 1 definite and concrete statements. and ! not cloudy and ambiguous terms as ! was the case in the Chicago conven- l tion''
 T have not raised my hand or voice." the president continued, ito ald in the promotion of any ambition Tor the Democratic presidential nomi- nation and l shall not do SO I think that the leaders of the party and dele gates who will sit in the San Fran CISCO convention will earnestly try to |, provide platform and candidates that Il VIII attract greater support than those II put forward by the Chicago conven- -lon. l am also confident that the Democratic leaders and delegates will Il hold the fullest appreciation of their Obligations to party and to the people II U IS unthInkable that party Democrats II should for an instant be influenced by II he selfish and sinister motives that II ie back of the Republican plan to II

 "l do not belive that they will per nit themselves to be led astray in II order to gratify the vanity or promote he uncharitable or selfish impulses of my individual"
 The Republican convention" he N tdded was the apotheosfs of reaction. M t was the direct antithesis of what II nope the Democratic convention will Il urn out to be. The leaders who call | themselves progressive and who pre-. end to speak for the progressive ele- \ nent in the Republican party sacri- iced every principle htat made attrac- i've the movement of eight years ago O gratify the ambition of some pres mt day leaders to prevent the people If tn United States from fulfilling ! heir honest obligations to the rest of he world and to themselves. The j abandonment at Chicago of the pro- 'ressive spirit was wOefully tragic. Iope and believe that the tragedy at 'hicago will provide the Democratic , with an object lesson in bis direction that will not be over ooked.'
 President Wilson also declined to iiscuss in detail the subjects of pro- woman suffrage or the high cost of living. He expressed opinion
