untold value to the party and will make a signal triumph all but as- sured.
 Senator Lodge and the other ene- mics of MT. Wilson's League of Ma tions proposal worked with all their might to embarrass the administra- tion and defeat the democratic party. But their energies were spent in vain.
 The democracy is enthusiastic in it's support of the League of Ma tions without reservations impairing it's integrity and Governor Cox is not only unwavering in his allegiance to the principles at issue, but he is noted for his pluck and will fight to the finish for the vindication of the foremost issue for which the democ- racy is contending ! Yesterday was indeed a red let ter day for President Wilson and the nominees of the party. A great deal has been said about the cohesive ness of the republican party, and of the habit of the rank and file to follow their leader. There was a time when this was true. In recent years, however, republicans have broken away from the G. o. P. It is now the democrats that stick together. And in this good year when so much is at stake, the promise is pregnant for a tidal wave victory.
