The brief ref erence to the league was added af-' ter he had completed a prepared ad- dress on agricultural and industrial cooperation for national betterment Hailed as Uncle Warren by many of the farmers in the crowd, he was cheered frequently as he made his argument fol improved farming con dit.ons but the loudest and longest applause greeted his declaration of the league issue.
 Been Some Criticism"
 There has been some criticism" he said. because my position as a candidate is not precisely my post ] ton as member of the senate. Let me say to you that in dealing with the peace treaty as member of the senate l could only deal with the | covenant as the president lad Fit before us, and so with others I set l about to protect our interests with i the best and strongest reservations ! that we could obtain. Then. after i the reserya ations had been adopted. i the president scrapped his own | league by refusing to accept them
