WILSON CREETS G. O. P. LEAGUE ADVOCATES
HEARST TO COX:
Throw Off Wilson Yoke.
Be Democrat.
Be An American.
And Be President.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, October 26.


Governor Cox has finally realized that the people 'of
the United States do want the League of Nations.
The Hearst papers have been saying this from the
day that the League program first became public through
the discovery of the copy of it's provisions sent the
Wall street bankers by Barney Baruch.
If Governor Cox had followed the advice of the
Hearst papers he would have taken his present stand at
the beginning of his campaign If the Democratic party
had been truly Democratic party, and not merely
Wilson party, it would have taken the Jeffersonan
position of opposition foreign entangng alliances and
it would have carried this election.
If Governor Cox had realized earlier that President
Wilson's British policies milestone and not
life preserver he would not have hurried to Washington
before taking his political plunge to have that milestone
hung about his devoted neck.
Governor Cox is trying to get rid of the mill
stone that is dragging him to the depths of defeat.
The Hearst papers wish him success and hope that
his repudation of Wilson and the Wilson policies will
be sufficiently complete and sufficiently prompt to do
him good before election
Sinbad got rid of his old of the at last, and
Governor Cox may be able to shake off the heavy stran
Cling load of Wilson and the Wilson policies and take
firm stand for true Americansm and genuine Democracy
Senator Harding, subjected to the powerful financial
influences which control the Republican party, is be-
ginning to wobbe on the League.
The 'ss:igyfe and wobble that the Republican caI,
paign posters say must be done with is beginning
to appear in the attitude and utterances of the Republican
candidate.
In the meanwhile great Democratic States like
Georgia il Democratic convention laundering un
alterabe opposition" to the League of Nations.
Opposition to foreig gn entanging alliances is the
natural Democratic attitude expressed by every great
Democratic President-Jeferson, Madison Monroe,
Jackson, Cleveland.
There is yet time Governor Cox, to take the historic
Democratic position.
Repudiate utterly Wilson and the Wilson party lead
truly Democratic party with true Jeersonian policies,
and lead it to victory.
Be Democrat.
Be American
And be President.
