New-York tribune., 1920-08-27
By William Howard Taft

Copyright. 1920. by Public Ledger Co.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26. The
speeches at the Ohio Democratic State
Convention fully confirmed the conclu-
sion insisted on in these columns that
Governor Cox is at one with Mr.. Will
son in holding that there cannot be
any league or peace or disarmament
without the equivalent of Article X
in the covenant accepted as a common
principle and obligation by the nations
of the earth. To be sure, Mr.. Cox said 4:
"Our position is not unbending. We
claim that we can accept anything in
reservations with interpretations that
call attention to the limitations of the
Constitution. that call attention of
other nations that We will 60 thus far
and no further"
But the Republican reservation as to
Article X does not interpret Article X.
1t eliminates the obligation of the
United States to it.
That was the reason why Mr.. Wilson
rejected it and preferred no league to
league without Article X The Re-
publican Senator'S refused to ratify
the United States under Article X.
Elaborated by Baker
Mr.. Baker, who was presented to the
convention by Mr.. Cox with earnest
approval, followed the Governor with
an elaborate and forcible argument in
favor Of Article X. He said that the
whole issue hinged on Article X and
there could not be any league or peace
without Article X.
Thus every speech which Governor
Cox makes and every authorized state
ment from the White House confirms
the conclusion that Mr.. Cox's accession
to the Presidency would lead to ex-
actly the same situation as that which
Mr.. Wilson has left
Those who are supporting Governor
Cox on the theory that his victory will
bring about league, with Article x
or without it, are sure to be disap-
pointed. They will be casting their
votes to secure league under politi-
cal conditions impossible Of realza-
ton and thus to continue the present
deadlock between the Executive and
the Senate.
Governor Cox in this speech at
tackled Senator Harding because he
opposed a number of amendments to
the Constitution Of Ohio on the ground
that they had socialistic trend and
were departure from sound princi-
pies Of government.
Cox Radical at the Time
Governor Cox in those days was quite
radical and Senator Harding was con-
servative, and in the Judgment Of the
great body of Republicans of this coun-
try and of considerable part of the
Democratic party as at present consti-
tuted Senator Harding was right and
Governor Cox was wrong.
1t was, as Governor Cox says, in the
Gays when 1T was proposed to provide
for the recall of Judges and the recall
Of judicial decisions. 1t was when n
Socialist and extreme pacifist was the

William Howard Taft
Discusses
COx's View of Article X

president of the constitutional conven-
tion of Ohio, put there by Democratic
majority in the convention. In those
days MIR. Cox stood on one aide and MIR
Harding on the other.
Certainly, Mr.. Harding has no rea-
son to be ashamed of his then position
or to retreat from it. 1t was a period
when the general primary and the
referendum and recall were all sup
posed to be the sure cure for the evils
of machine rule and the certain means
OF giving control to real public opinion
Our experience with the general pri-
mary and the referendum and the recall
has convinced most people that they
are simply instrumentalities fittinc
into the hands of designing politicians
and enabling them to manipulate issues
and secure candidates and bring about
results less representative Of real
pubic opinion than even under the
abuses Of the old system.
Public Opinion Veerinr
The people are returning from these
extremes. They do not now believe
that the voice of the people is correct
ly interpreted through the casual vote
OF much less than a majority of the
total electorate on complicated statute
or the merits of a judicial decision. or
the character of a judicial officer They
believe that the referendum is the
refuge of cowardly legislators who de-
lay needed action by shifting respon-
sibl!ity which should be theirs and that
1t destroys their Independence. Nor
40 they think that the general primary
system secures as fit candidates for
once as would a responsible party
convention Of intelligent delegates
elected under safeguards entirely prac-
ticable. They have noted too manv in
stances in which at a sparselv attended
primary the party machine completely
controls the result. They know that in
such a general primary no opponent of
she machine can win unless he or his
friends are rich and spend the large
sums necessary to create machine Of
MS own. They note that the general
primary makes for the exclusion of the
man OF little or moderate means from
nope Of office and that the average fit
ness of party candidates under its in
huences has been distinctly lowered.
League Only Nominal Issue
Governor Cox is only indicating now
what many thought they could foresee
that while the issue of the league
Will be kept by him nominally as the
chief issue, the Democratic committee
will gradually shift the real discussion
to the domestic issues of radicalism
against conservatism, including the
theories of Mr.. Gompers as against
those of Mr.. Harding and Mr.. COOLIDGE
the arraying of labor against caoitai
and the stirring of class feeling.
Thus the socialistic proclivities of
Mr.. Wilson will find expression in Gov
ernor Cox's campaign. Those who are
now favoring him as the champion of
the League of Nations will find them
selves supporting futile issue as to
the league, while they will at the same
time be backing up radical propaganda
against those principles of representa-
i've government and constitutional lin
ltatlon which it is of great Importance
VnaI we MAINTAIN in these critical times
of militant socialism.

Special Dispatch to Ths Tribune

WEEDSPORT. N. Y, Aug. 2e-
Nathan L. Miller, dcsignee of the un-
official Republican State Convention
for the nomination for Governor, to-
day made his first spaech since he was
named The address, while not politi-
cal, dealt with state problems. and was
delivered at farmers picnic here.
He said that rea! cooperation be-
tween the state government, the
farmer and the consumer on the basis
of square deal to each, was the only
means Of stimulating rood production.
I'm whatever we do, we must pro-
mote the spirit of cooperation and
good will" he declared. at will not
help solve the problem to arouse q
spirit Of antagonism between consumer
and producer. Their interests are in
common. The consumer must under
stand that his interests lie in giving
the producer sufficient profit to stimu-
late production. The producer must
understand that the right to cooperate
involves the obligation not to oppress.
which the state must enforce. Both
must adhere to the principle of the
square deal"
Fears Dependency on Imports
Judge Miller said that unless the
proper balance between farm and fac
tory were restored, the people soon
would find themselves dependent upon
imports for food"a condition which
is unthnkable with our vast acres"
"Great attention has been paid to
conditions of employment. living con-
ditions, the health and welfare Of the
city population," he continued, "but
less to the needs of agriculture, upon
which the very life of the population
depends. The problem is to make
farming sufficiently profitable to at
tract men to the farm, to encourage the
farmer to till his acres and to enable
him to employ the necessary labor to
plant, cultivate and harvest his crops.
Must Relieve Congested Centers
DO that and you will go far to solve
the problem of production and realize
the hope of a movement back to the |
farm Relieve the congested centers,
with their housing and other problems,
for then the farm will offer many at |
fractions in contrast with the condi- |
tlons which are becoming less toleraple |
IN the congested centers."
Judge Miller declared his opposition |
to price fixing, saying:
PLAINLY the result cannot be accom-
pllshed by any attempt by the state to |
prescribe what the farmer shall receive |
for his products. We have had suffi-
clent object lesson in price fixing to |
know that interference with nat |
ural laws will defeat its purpose, and, |
mind you, | do not say that it was un-
necessary, but | do say that free peo- I
pie will not and ought not to submit to
