PreS't Emeritus Eliot Says
Republicans Disgrace Party
By Attempts to Bolster Up
Fight By Attacking Wilson

oppose now and hereafter the ac-
ceptanCe OF a mandate for any coun-
try in Europe or Asia
one OF the most interesting Ques-
tions at the coming election Is
whether the majority OF the Ameri-
can voters, or the majority OF the
members OF the house of represen-
tatives Of the election is thrown
into the house, has become so de-
graded as 10 accept that teaching
OF republican senators and the re-
publican platform, and so unfeeling
as not 10 revolt absolutely at that
remark OF the republican platform
about President Wilson.
Wilson'S Character and Conduct
Not Issues.
Many established members OF the
republican party. both old and
young. are going 10 feel great DIFF
fculty in voting for the democratic
candidate for the presidency next
November, even though they earn
estly desire the prompt ratification
OF the covenant and treaty and the
entrance Of the United states into
the League Of Nations because they
have somehow acquired an utter dis
trust OF the character and conduct
OF President Wilson. They are con-
vinced that he is insincere, or shifty;
that while his sayings are apt 10 be
sound, his doings are apt TO be un-
sound: that he chooses his counsel
lors badly: that his nature IS cold
and inconstant IN spite OF his much
talk about justice, mercy. coopera-
tion. and good Will. and that he is
utterly incapable Of attaching TO
himself able men as disciples or ar
dent followers.
This picture OF President Wilson
is accepted by a large proportion
OF republicans and by some demo-
Gratis. Those who have accepted II
cannot but be reluctant 10 vote for
Gov. Cox, because he IS the heir 70
President Wilson's policies and pub
lie doinEs, although he holds him
self free 10 depart from or modify
the presidents recent line OF con
duct in respect 10 the ratification
Of the covenant and treaty they
can hardly bring themselves 10 vote
for a measure or a principle which
is attri butable 20 President Wilson.
Their aversion 20 his personality
overCOmes every other considera-
ton.
Il may be fairly urged. however,
, upon all voters. old and young. re-
publican and democratic, that Pres
ident Wilson'S character and con-
duct are not practical issues IN the
coming election. He Is perforce a
retired statesman. and the disputes
or differences about his character
and conduct should not affect the
voters desire OF purpose 10 use his
own vote in the best interest OF his
country ana the world President
Wilson's policies and ideals are the
main issue. not his personality. His
tory will give him much later his
rightful place.
Tomorrow Pres. Eliot Will an
swcr the question: Which party on
| its record Is the safest 20 trust?

Points to Misrepresentation
Indulged to Fan Flames of
Hate Against Executive.
III
By CHARLES w. ELIOT.


The objections urged against the
Treaty and Covenant by the group
OF senator's who have defeated rati-
fiCation are extraordinarily narrow
minded and selfish.
One would think that they had
never perceived the prodigious
changes In the civilized world since
Washington used the phrase "en-
tangling alliances: that they had
not felt the eXaltatiOn OF the Ameri-
can spirit when the people went 20
war with Germany 20 protect the
free nations from the Prussian au-
tOcracy. 10 defend the weaker na-
tions against the stronger, 20 make
right triumph over wrong, and 20
make impossible in the future such
war as Germany was waging upon
the freer nations OF Europe.
They appealed during the long
and ram bling discussion TO only the
selfish side Of the American char
acter. They urged the people TO
make no more sacrifices for liberty
and justice in the world, 70 save
their own property, and 10 share
their resources in the future with
no other nation, not even with their
recent comrades in arms. They
would have none OF cooperation be-
tween the American Republic and
the other free nations 70 make the
world a better place for the rising
generation TO live in. They had no
faith IN the magnanimity and disin-
terestedness Of the American peO-
pie
Republicans Low Estimate of the
American People.
What an incredibly low estimate
OF the moral quality OF the Ameri-
can people these men formed. right
in the face OF the sacrifice the younc
men and the fathers and mothers
OF America made between April.
1917, and November. 1918! One OF
the most outrag geous OF their SLAM
ders against the people OF the Unit
ed States was their statement that
Americans would never accept any
mandate on behalf OF Armenia.
Now the republican platform In
dorses the language and the con-
duct OF the senators who defeated
the ratification. II says outright
We commend the republican sen
ate for refusing the presidents re-
quest 10 empower him 10 accept the
mandate for Armenia; and again
NO more striking illustration can
be found OF President Wilson disre-
gard OF the lives OF American boys
or Of American interests and ac-
tlon": and again. We deeply sym
pathize with the people OF Armenia
and stand ready 10 help them in al
ways; but the republican party viii
