COX TO URGE
W|LSONACREE
TO REV|S|ONS
{By limited presal


Dayton, O., July 10.-In his forth
coming conference with President Will
son at the white house, Gov. James
M. Cox, the Democratic presidential
nominee, will urge the president to
accept two reservations to the league
of nations covenant. This was learned
today from an unquestionable source,
the informants being close to the
nominee and high in his confidence
Acceptance of the league covenant
with the distinct understanding that
the American congress shall continue
to hold the sole right to declare war,
is the rst of the reservations favored
by the Ohio governor. His reserva-
ton on this point is to the effect that
congress alone shall say when Ameri-
ca is to enter war.
The second provision which he is
said to favor is that all members Of
the league shall agree and accept the
stipulation that the principal and
practically sole purpose he league
of nations in the preven...n n of war,
ana 0OJ IJS IOnlenJlTg.
Information in regard to Governor
Cox's attitude reservations comes at
the same time when many American
newspapers are republishing his ad-
dress at the Jackson day dinner of
Democrats at Washington, when the
Ohio governor declared that the
"doughboys did not go over the top
with reservations.
As the leader of the Democratic
party in the presidential election,
Governor Cox plans to make these re-
servations his attitude toward the en-
tire treaty of peace and league of
nations question, which has been ac-
cepted by both parties as the para
mount issue of the campaign. Close
personal friends of the Democratic
nominee point out that his position
is compromise between the stand
pat wing of the party, which insists
ponu ratification of the treaty as it
is, and the other extreme, those who
oppose the league but declare in favor
of some kind Of an international tri-
bunal to regulate world affairs and
to end wars.
Governor Cox will make the farm
ers' vote of the country his first and
main objective in the campaign. If
his attitude toward the treaty and
league are approved by President VIII
son and other leaders of the party
ne Will at once launch his campaign
IN the agricultural sections, which
gave President Wilson overwhelming
majorities in 1916.

SAY WILSON ACCEPT
COX'S RESERVATIONS
(By United Pressl

Washington, July 10.-Administra-
ton officials today characterized as
merely interpretative reservations the
two which Governor Cox will pro-
pose for acceptance by President Will
son when the Democratic chiefs hold
thelr conference at the white house.
AS the president has never opposed in
terpretatlve reservations / othe coven-
anu indications are that the views of
Governor Cox will be acceptable and
Will become the platform of the party
on the peace question.
