 Judge Taft is a great man. He feels sense of loyalty to the party that
 honored him, and he has tried to fol- low his candidate throughout the
 campaign, but his candidate makes
 so many sharp turns that poor MT.
 Taft is all the time out of breath trying to keep up with him.
 A few days after the Senator made a statement from the rear of a train, not one of his written speeches. He had gotten away from the censor oThe senatorial oligarchy for the pe- riod of five minutes had unstrapped him, and there has been trouble eve- 1 since He said that in the new asso- ciation France. wanted to come. He implied she wasn't for the League He said representative of France had come to him and France want ed him: to lead the way
 He made another statement at Des Mo1nes, We must consecrate our selves to the welfare of America, and not to the welfare Of countries else where. want you to reflect on that and bear that reflection home. First, the commercial significance of such a policy. The nations of Europe are in convulsion- They haven't credit.
 The nations of Europe must be per- manently. helped to re-estab1ish them selves or we will have more wars. If you are going to say that we will build "a world on this hemisphere I then you have to admit that we will have to reduce our production to cor respond with our consumption. We will have to close B per cent of the American factories to do that and stop til1ing one-third of the soil we | are cultivating because that much of our products we are selling overseas. More than that. The demand from Europe has already dropped because | they can't buy. Why? Because they haven't credit, because the interna- t1onal revenues that establish credit won't give it to them. Why. Be- cause they don't know whether they can pay their existing national debts because they don't know whether i they are going to stop building navies and maintaining armies Why doesn' t Europe stop that? Because she can't until America stops and America can't stop until Europe does. We all have to- do it together and here is the chance we have to do it. the only
 chance, by becoming members of the League of Nations pledged to disarm the nations of the world together As Congressman Lonergan came up the aisle, Governor Cox said:
 ! T am just about done, Senator, and l I will give you this audience iii a 1 minute.
 There is a. spiritual consideration also. Are we to turn our back upon the deso1ation of the world?e I was told last week that 5000 babies are | oying every week in the hospital of Austria; that in Vienna the rich ana poor walk barefooted in the streets |(Eleven million children are underfed in Germany. Petrograd had two million people in 1914 and today only 100000.
 "A representative of a great po-
 litical party says we shall close our
 overseas. When we do our hearts, l the American heart, will become a tro- phied and when it does thes oul of America will bewin to die Why do you maintain hospitals in Connecticut and humanitarian projects of all kinds? It is because you believe in thee reed of Christ, which is that the well shall help the sick and the strong sail help the weak. I believe America is not going to be indifferent to mis- cry in Ireland, in Germany, in Aus tria or in Russia. I believe that America is devoted to the creed of Christ rather than the creed of Cain. Whoever wants to preach the creed of Cain in this campaign can have a monopoly of it so far as I am con- American policy based on the creed of Christ, and I leave to my oppon- ents the creed of Cain.
 'I am in favor Of going into the League. I am going to sit down with the Senate on the 4th of March, if
 
 MT. Lonergan there with me. hope there will be some other new faces. I shall say, Gentlemen, the American people have spoken, and it is time for
 business. Let's conc1ade this thing. I am willing to accept any reservation if it is good reservation. I want to consult with President Wilson, with ex-President Taft, with Elihu Root, and with any other friend of. the
 great principle of a worldwide

 Congressman Lonergan in his
 speech inside the Casino said in part: .I have been with Governor Cox
 since early this morning and we have visited several towns throughout the
 State and in each thousands were out to greet the next President of the United States tions is that of Governor Cox My opponent is a bitter-ender and has so stated on the Senate floor. l am for the League with such reservations as will at all times preserve the severn eighty of our nation.

 country for 90 years under which our manhood could be called to a foreign war. President Monroe announced that doctrine to the world when he declared that if any foreign power that came into this hemisphere and
 engaged in a war of aggression as
 against any of the republics to the south, it would mean that the army
 and the navy of the United State would go to the defense of the na- | tionS thus attacked. Under that doc 1 Urine we haven't lost man. Under MT. Mckinley's administration we en- tered into a. treaty to protect Cuba l against the powers of the world. In the administration of MT. Roosevelt we entered into the Hay-Pauncefote I treaty wherein we agreed to protect
 the Republic of Panama against the
 attacks of the people of the world
 and if Japan sends her navy into the l Panama Canal the manhood of this
 nation can be drafted and put into
 war. There is no such doctrine in the i Covenant of the Leaglfe. The Gov. Q t x.l1s
