URGENT APPEAL TO WOMEN

New York, Oct. 20-Mrs. Car
RE Chapman Gait, Americas
most conspicuous suffragette
leader, and undoubtedly one of
the most influential women in
the United States, came ont I'M
equivocally today for Governor
James M. Cox for president. She
made an urgent appeal although not
a democrat, that independent women
support Governor Cox and the league
Mrs Cats decision was announced
in letter to Professor Irving Fisher
of the pro-league independents. She
makes it clear that she earnestly de-
sired to remain nonpartisan in this
campaign, and that only a convic-
ton that through Senator Harding
there could be no hope of entering
the league of nations in case of his
election, finally prompted her to de-
clare for Gov. Cox.
81 hold that there is but one
course for those who believe in the
league, and it's program and that is
to vote for Cox" she says in her
letter.
81 am glad to accept the appoint
ment as one of the vice chairmen of
the pro-league independents. I am
enrolled in no party and desire to
continue non-partisan. l have
long been an advocate of a league
of nations and now I believe in the
league, because a league Gin the
hand" is worth any number of lea
cues Gin the BUSH"
Agrees With Johnson
II agree with Senator Johnson
who said in Cleveland October H.,
"the league of nations is the great
est campaign issue since the civil
war" When he announces further
that Mr.. Harding wants neither
interpretations, nor reservations, but
rejection" and Mr.. Harding does not
object, it becomes clear that the way
to enter the league does not lie in
the direction of Mr.. Harding. The
only hope promised by the Root
statement purporting to represent
the league wing of the republican
party, is that Mr.. Harding, if elected,
will cause an entire new covenant
or a fundamental revision of the
present one to be written.

greater promise for supporters of the
league lies through Mr.. Cox. Since
he stands squarely for the league
his election would be an unmistak-
able mandate from the country cal
ling for participation in the league.
The senate will in any event insist
on reservations, but with Mr.. COX's
election as a guide to indicate the
public demand those reservations
will more certainly be of such
nature that the league will accept
them without losing it's present
members.
Cox Only Hope
Remembering that the sole aim
of the league is to abolish war; that
such a league could only come into
existence through a covenant of
compromise which could please no
one completely: that ours is the only
eligible nation outside the organiZa-
ton where Al countries have fear
lessly assumed it's obligations: that
rejection of the league means re-
fusal of this country to cooperate
in the worlds greatest effort to make
an end of war; that safety for Amer
lea first may mean sending the sons
of future mothers to world war. l
hold that there is but one course for
those who believe in the league and
it's program and that is to vote for
Cox
"There are millions of men and
women who will vote on the dem
ocratic and republican tickets be-
cause their traditions would permit
them to do nothing else. There
should, however, be a determined
number of independent men and
women voters who aspire to do no
party favors, recognize no party
thralldom and fear neither the cri-
ticism of friends nor foes but who
do want their vote to serve the evo-
luton of society. These should be
able to turn the tide and by so do
ing to open the door for the en-
trance of our nation into the world
compact to build the enduring
peace. This does not mean that I
have allied myself with the demo-
cratic party for am not democrat"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1920-10-28

votes are required. Even if the
most roseate republican expectations
are realized in the coming election,
that party could not command more
than Sc and this number would be
hopelessly divided between the group
led by Senators Johnson and Borah,
which will consent to no league, and
those who might be rallied by the
support of the new covenant. The
republicans would be forced to Sc
cure anywhere from 20 to 40 dem
ocratic votes in order to ratify the
new proposal. Is it reasonable to
suppose that these democrats will
be more literally intentioned to-
ward republican covenant than
republicans were toward an alleged
democratic covenant? A senatorial
deadlock seems the only possible re-
suit arising from that combination
of circumstances.
SHOULD the impossible eventuate
however, and Mr.. Harding plus Ga
senators come to agreement upon a
new or much amended covenant,
what then? The United States must
present the proposal to the organized
nations now composing the league,
with it's explanation that the price
which this country demands for en-
trance into the league is d covenant
of our own writing. That covenant
built in Paris by the official repre-
sentatives of many nations through
weary weeks of effort, concessions,
reflections, compromise until a COM
mon agreement had been reached
must be thrown into the discard and
a new one made in America substi-
tuted. Would the world accept so
preposterous a proposal? Or, if the
necessary majority of nations should
accept the covenant which suits us,
how many and what nations unable
to accept the American plan would
withdraw? The risk of disintegra-
lions is too apparent to give conf
dence to friends of international
peace.
Many Republicans in Despair
This division of republican views
into two definite and equally unsatis-
factory programs of procedure has
filled millions of republicans with
despair. They may still vote for
Mr.. Harding because they have al
ways voted republican ticket, but
the fact remains that their vote will
not bring what they want.
However painful it may be to re-
publicans it is clear that the path of
