 T favor going on, to put an end to war for all times said the governor. This is my position. 1 am dtermined to secure the earliest possible entrance into the league of nations With the least possible delay and with the least possible reservations needed to accom- plish that result. The platform adopt ed by the convention at which l was nominated permits reservations which will clarify and reassure our people and is opposed only to reservations which would nulllfy and destroy. have no doubt that Republican and Democratic senators alike will loyalty fulfill the peoples mandate which my election will signify. I shall endeav- or to meet all reasonable desires for proper reservations which are offered in sincerity and not merely presented as trumped up for political purposes. My heart is in this fight and will put forth all effort and make any reason able concession to win it that we may secure membership in the league for America"

 When a political committee endeav- ors to kill the news, when it dare not meet the issue on which its candidate wobbles from day to day, when it seeks to secure the presidency by use or a huge corruption fund, it is time for the people to think seriously. I am goine back east after my visit in the west carrying this assurance to friends ano foes-the west is alive, the west lS alert and the west is with me Tn my fight for the peace of the world ano the progress and peace of our land and the west cannot be bought.
