You don't allow the accused to sit on
the jury in Kansas, do you?" he asked
mo more should he sit on his own
case in the league assembly"
Senator Harding was flayed for get
ting on ali sides of the league ques-
ton. as Governor Cox defined his OPP
ponent's position.
He seems to have satisfied John
son and Taft" he said. II don't know
which one he fooled. I don't care If
he fooled both of them. 1 am only
concerned that he does not fool the
American voter"
FIXTURE of America to enter the
league pact was held in no small
measure as responsible for siumps IN
p(iccS of grains and other markers
Europe without credit cannot buy, ne
said. and America with her grain must
be denied her markets
Only One Big Issue.
Always he held before his audience
the fG CT that the league is the one big
and dominant issue
That is the one great issue in this
campaign. and 1 might call your at
, tention to the fact that we are not
going to have a settled condition in the
world until the nations of the earth
agree to stop wasting their resources
in the building and maintenance of
large ornaments. If there is coun-
try banker here. I would like for him
to tell his neighbors in ihe discussion
OF these questions what the result Will
be in Europe, in the world, in Amer
! lea, IL the nations of Europe cannot
pay this ir debt. If they cannot pay
| their dto*, they won't have credit, and
/ they cannot have credit unless they
stop maintaining large ornaments, and
IF they don't have credit. they can't
; buy the surplus products of America.
/ That is one reason why cattle are not
bringing the prices they did a year
ago. why hogs have come down in
price. why the price of wheat and
corn and all the surplus commodities
Of America have declined in price
for the simple reason that the aEen-
cies of international exchange have
been upset and disorganized.
No Credit from Europe.
THE nations of Europe cannot be
given credit any more than an indi-
Yidual can be given credit unless 1t is
known that they can pay their debts.
and they cannot pay their debts unless
they stop the great expense Of main
| tanning the necessaries of war A bat
/ tleship costs forty million dollars in
this modern day. You can reclaim
two million acres of land in any west
ern state for the price of a ba-.leship.
! T am in favor, therefore, of taking our
resources and using them for the pur-
pose of creating the agencies of feed
nance of agencies for the slaugh. or
and destruction of humanity
I'm the truer sense. we are making
! ihis fight as much for the next gen.
Grafton as we are for this generation.
We have just been in a war. in which
ten million people lost their lives. Not
1 many years ago, they were mere chill
dren. and if the new order which we
are attempting to establish in the
world had been adopted twenty-five
or thirty-five years ago. the Ten mil
lion soldiers who are in their graves
now would not be there. 1 men'ion
this in order that you may understand
what 1t is in the main that I am con-
tending for in this campaign.
An International Arrangement.
THE old order in the world brough;
war overnight. We are contending for
the new order in the world. We are
contending for an international ar
rangement under which controversies
between nations will be submitted to
discussion and to arbitration rather
than to war. We find in every state
| a Quickened and increasing interest in
/ the cause. 1 90 not myself see how
men and women can find difference OF
fopinion upon that subject. Certainly
peace is more desirable than war. Tho
only way to gain peace in the world
| is for the nations of the earth to agree
| to stop maintaining large standing
armies and to stop building and buy
| ing battleships. If you disarm the
I world. the world cannot continue war.
