HOW TO GET A LEAGUE

Clearer and clearer, as the campaign
progresses, becomes the fact that the
sole hope for a league Of nations rests
in the Republican party.
A plain declaration Of this obvious
situation has been prepared and is be-
ing signed by thousands OF the leading
men OF the United States in all walks
of life
a few of the more widely known are
Elihu Root, william Howard Taft.
Charles l.. Hughes, William Allen White.
Lyman Abbott, Herbert Hoover, the
presidents Of SO OF the nations leading
colleges and scores of the most eminent
churchmen OF all faiths
The declaration Is as follows:
I'VE have reached the conclusion that
the true course to bring America snto an
effective league to preserve peace Is not
by insisting with Mr.. Cox upon the ac-
ceptance Of such q provision as Article
Y, thus prolonging the unfortunate stu
alton created by Mr., Wilson's insistcnce
upon that article, but by frankly calling
upon the other nations 70 agree 10
changes in the proposed agreement
which will ooViate THIS Iitat oo}ectlon
and other objections less the subject OF
dispute.
For this course we can look only to
the Republican party and to It's candi-
date; the Democratic party and Mr.. Cox
are bound not to follow 1t. The Repuo-
lican party Is bound by every considera-
ton OF good faith to pursue such q
course until the declared object is at
tanned
I'VE. therefore. believe that we can
most effectively advance the cause Of
internat ional cooperation TO promote
peace by supporting Mr.. Harding for
election to the presidency

watch one OF the rebel leaders would be
most effective In overpowerinS Huerta
and most amenable to Wilson's purpose
10 establish a new government. John
Lind was one Of these secret agents;
William Bayard Hale was another. What
either Of these men did has never been
told, and never will be told, because
their reports were made to Wilson per-
sonally and were not placed IN the pub
lie archives.
Then there. was Colonel House, the
supcr-amba ssador. House never repre-
sented the United States government
He was given a position by President
Wilson entirely unauthorized by the
constitution. which provides that the
President shall nominate all diplomatic
agents, who shall be appointed by and
with tho advice and consent Of the SEN
ate" Tho senate gave neither advice
nor consent in the case Of Colonel House
for tho very good reason that 1t was
never asked for either.
During the war, Colonel House be-
came "a mysterious influence" He
made several trips to European capitals
and back and was referred to abroad as
tho assistant president Of the United
States" Yet who knows what Colonel
House did or whether he ever did any
thing?
After all these high-handed and I'M
authorized acts, Mr.. Wilson becomes in
stantly offended at the mere suggestion
OF a much milder offense Of which he
fancied himself the victim. Mr. wilson
reminds US Of confirmed practical joker
who gets furiously angry when the joke
Is on him.
