MIDDLETOWN, Conn, June 2l.-
Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa-

Vlce-President, was the chief speaker
at the alumni dinner which concluded
the Wesleyan University commence

ship and higher inspiration"

racy,' he said, "but that does not mean
that we are to discard the guidance
and the leadership of those 70 whom
there has come a greater revelation of
the truth than comes to some of us.
The economic conditions of the eigh-
tccnth century have changed, as viii
those Of the twentieth century. but
the nature Of man has remained con-

ut is in that that we can look for
and expect to find firm and enduring
foundation for our Republic. There

spends to leadership, responds to the
presentation of the truth and responds
to a sense of duty. at is the great
work that our higher institutions of
learning have to do in the preservation
OF our state and nation"

Minnesota Republican
Leads Nonpartisans

ST. PAUL, June 21.-J. A. o. Preus
straight-out Republican, had small
lead late tonight over Henrik Shipstead,
Nonpartisan League candidate, for Gov
ernor, in the returns from to-day's pri-
mary. Returns from $50 precincts out
of 3.196 in the state, gave Praeus l2,470
and Shipstead 1882. These returns in
clude many precincts IN ST Paul and
Minneapolis, where Preus was considered
to be strongest.
The Non Partisan League made 8
strenuous effort to capture the Repub-
lican organization. The straighC out
Republicans were represented by five
candidates, though the contest was
generally conceded to be between
Prcus, present State Auditor, and Ship
stead. Prcus made his campaign on a
platform of Amercanism and appealed
for support of loyal citizens as against
Socialism and radicalism, as repre-
scntcd in the Non-Partisan organza-
ton.
The polls closed at p. m., and
returns indicate that heavy vote was
polled in the country districts. The
vote in the cities was comparatively

Back Harding Fight
Advisory Board to the State
Committee Is Named at
Reception to Delegates;
Convention Tales Told

Women leaders for the candidates
defeated for the Republican nomina-
tion will cooperate in the campaign
for Warren G. Harding. This was as
sured when Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore,
chairman of the Republican Womens
State Executive Committee, announced
yesterday the creation of woman's
advisory committee, consisting of the
heads of the women's campaign COM
mittees for the Presidential candi-
dates.
The committee members are Miss

Leonard Wood; Mrs. Herbert L. Pratt,
of the Hoover committee; Mrs.
Margaret Crumpacker, of tho Johnson
committee; Mrs. John S. Shepard, of
tn, Butler committee; Miss Laura
Skinner, of the Coolidge committee,
Lowden committee.
Mrs. Livermore made the announce
ment at a reception to the women
delegates to the convention, held at
the Hotel Vanderbilt. She urged all
women to follow their example and to
read the statement of Herbert Hoover,
explaining his reasons for supporting
the Harding ticket.
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, the only
woman delegate from New York City,
gave the women some sideliChts on
the convention, with special reference
to the heat.
Some of the men were restless and
flounced around, as if that would make
them any cooler" she said, but sat
next to our former Governor Charles
S. Whitman, and he was perfect

By William Howard Taft

Copyright. 1920. by Public Ledger Coz
What is the League of Nations issue
which Mr.. Wilson desires to submit, by
the referendum of the next election, to
the American people?
Mr.. Wilson was given the opportuni-
ty in November, and again few
months later, to lead the United States
into the League Of Nations which is
now functioning. The United States
would have been released from the OBJ
legation of Article x of the league, arI
would have saved for its own interpre-
tation and enforcement its Monroe Doc
trine. These were tbs only substantial
reservations. The other nations infor-
mally acquiesced in them.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Wilson insisted on
having no league at all rather than to
release the United States in these two
respects. If the Democratic party in
convention Is to declare, as Mr.. Wilson
insists that it shall. that he was right,
and so is to pledge his successor to this
course in the future, then in case of
Democratic victory we shall never rat
ify this treaty and never enter the
league. This should be apparent to
the friends of the present League of
Nations.
Constitution Will Remain
Whatever the vote in the election,
the Constitution will still remain, ana
by that instrument two-thirds of the
Senate are required to ratify the
treaty and the league. There are now
forty-nine Republican Senators. Of
these the terms Of fifteen expire in the
coming election. II the impossb,,
Republican Senators were succeeded
by Democrat, pledged to vote for the
Wilson league, there still would be
thirty-fve republican Senator'S, Of
whom but one, Mr.. McCumber, would
vote for it, while there are two Demo-
cratic Senators at lcast-and there are
probably more-who would side with
the Republican in refusing to 1atify
In other words, this means all in
evitable vote against the league with
out reservations OF more than one
feat
Moreover, the fifteen Republican
Senators, whose places are to BIZ filled,
come from states most of which are
sure to return Republicans. vote
for the Democratic nominee on Ny.
Wilson's platform, therefore, means Il
vote against the league as certainly
as if Mr.. Johnson had been nominated
and elected on the platform which he
demanded, and did not get at, at
Chicago.
Mr.. Wilson is consistent. His at
titude is exactly what it was during
the treaty discussion and controversy.
His is the rule or ruin policy. II
must have all l ask, or l will take
nothing. 1 must have the league cx-
actly as made it, or l will destroy
the prospect of the United States en-
tering any league at all" He is, there
fore, so far as practical achieveme mt
of a league is concerned, in exactly
the same category as Mr.. Borah, Mr.
Johnson and the other "bittcr- enders.
Says Wilson Ignores Facts
Mr.. Wilson ignores plain facts. which

former Senator Marion Butler, both of
whom once represented North Carolina
in the Senate when d Populist- Repub-
llcan fusion was successful in the Tar
Heel state, came during the morning
and pledged to Senator Harding the
support Of North Carolina Republi-
cans. Judge Pritchard said he had
tried to persuade Senator Harding to
take vacation at Asheville, N. c., and
had suggested that if southern Re-
publican headquarters was TO be es-
tablished Ashcville was the place for it,

Jurists May Adopt Root
Plan for Nations Court
Scheme Would Give Council
Right to Name the
Panel of Judges

THE HAGUE. June 81 tBy The Asso-
ciared Press)-The conference Of IN
ternatlonal iurlsts appeared to be in
fair way to-day to an agreement on the
adoption OF what may be called tie
RootPhillimore piaa for a high court
OF nations.
Although all arrangements are still
tentative. the plan, which was submit
ted by Lord Phillimore, representing
Great Britain, at to-day's session would
give the council of the League OF Ma
tions, which is controlled by the big
powers. the right to name the pare.
from which the assembly OF the
league, in which ali nations Will he
represented, would choose perhaps iii-
teen judges. The assembly could ac-
ccpt the pane! in It's cn;icctyx or in
part. or reject it and submit a panel
of its own nominees. In the event Of
conflicts those candidates who ap-
peared in both panels would prob
ably automatically be chosen. while the
conference committees from the coun-
Gil and assembly would select the
others.
Lord Phillmore and Elihu Root. for-
mer American Secretary OF State. are
in harmony, it is said, on the adoption
of this plan, which emphasizes the
view long held by the American jurist
and expourded by him before the con-
ference, namely. that it is only by a
compromise between the interests Of
the large and small nations that work
ing arrangements for the high court
can be reached.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-22
William Howard Taft
The League of Nations

take away from his striking sentences
their practical value. He continues to
treat the independent judgment and
determination of Republican Senators
as to the necessity for qualifying the
obligations of the United States under
the league as of negligible impor-
tance. The two-thirds provision in the
Senate was framed in order to give
veto power to more than third of
the Senate who believe fundamental
principles to be violated in a proposed
treaty, and who, against a majority in
general election, need not. and would
not, feel under obligation to give up
their objections This is subject
upon which the Republican Senators
have made up their minds. After the
long discussion, nothing will move
them from the positions to which they
have adhered since the beginning A
Democratic victory, therefore, means
no league at all.
But how would it be if Mr.. Harding
were, elected? Mr.. Harding voted for
the league with the fourteen reserva-
tions in November, 1919, and again
later. In the second vote, seven more
Dem ocratic votes would have made the
sixty-four needed to ratify this league
with reservations. If Mr.. Wilson had
not himself intervened to prevent, all
but three or four Democrats would have
voted for the league with the then
reservations. Forty Of the Democrats
out of forty-seven agreed to reserva-
tions on the two crucial articles, to
wit. the Monroe Doctrine reservation
and Article X. which cannot be sub.
stantial!y distinguished from the res
crvations which more than two-thirds
OF the Republicans and a majority OF
the Senate supported.
Differences Were Nominal
In respect to the Monroe Doctrine tl:e
Democrats wished to say the same
thing only twice, where the Republi.
cans had said it three times. In re.
spect to Article X, both the Democratic
reservations. offered in the alternative
took away the binding obligation OF
the United States under the article
and lett action under it wholly to the
discretion of Congress, when the case
should arise, just as did the Republi-
can reservation, though in somewhat
different phraseology.
! When the issue comes again the
Senators on both sides will still retail
their convictions and vote accordingly
MIR. Wilson removed and after Re
publican victory, there is not tn
slightest doubt that the league, will
substantially the Lodge reservati ems
will be ratified. A Republican Presi
dent who voted for it and them will
lead the nation into the league will
the reservations and will be welcomed
by the other league members.
This is what the Republican plat
form means. But even if that platform
is not affirmative, as it's Democrat,
critics charge it is not, surely on
can contend that it prevents Senator
who voted for the league with reserva
tions from doing so again.
For these reasons the nub of tn
referendum to which Mr.. Wilson in
vites the people of the United State
really is whether by voting for tn
Democratic candidate we shall supper
an impossible ideal and have no League
at ALL or whether by voting for tn
Republican candidate we shall actuall,
enter the league and help the world
