 Tt has done nothing" he said, "and yet it is full of menace. Europe, ] think, Is pretty well sick of it and would be glad to be rid of it. They don't feel about our Presiden, as they did. I doubt whether it will ever be possible to make the battered hulk of MT. Wilson's league seaworthy" He explained that the European situa-

He had suggested tw' reservations to the covenant, but the. were not worth the paper on which the. were printed They were perfectly vagu and loose. merely expressions of opinion.
 The senator praised Senator Hardinl and Governor Coolidge, the republican |candidates.
 When Senator Harding is President, he said, The will not try to run thi government by himself and for himself Neither is he seeking to win by persona abuse, dealing with Cox's charge abou contributions. He is dealing with tn great public questions of the day"
