an placed what he termed tn.
blame for Democratic defeat about
equally between President Wilson
and Gov. Cox. The president. he
said. laid the foundations for the
disaster and the governor complct.
I'D the structure"
The statement says In part:
"The American people want the
government to play Its part In the
abolition OF war but they are indif-
ferent AZ to whether We are part OF
a league or part OF an association
OF nations. There is nothing In a
name but everything In sentiment
The real Issue presented by the
Democratic party was not whether
We should cooperate with other ma
tiOns interested In peace but wheth-
er we should assume moral obli
cation which had no weight except
as 1t suspended the right OF con
gress to act independently when the
time arrived for action. The nation
will do its part In aiding to prevent
war but II will not surrender into
the keeping OF any foreign group
the right to determine when we
shall declare war.
Gov. Cox instead OF repairing the
injury done by the president aggra
waited the situation by the manner
In which he avoided domestic issues
and misrepresented the position of
the Republican party on the league
issue which he declared to be para
mount"

Advertisers understand that
The Star would not deliber-

asking them to curtail their
space, and in many cases omit
their copy entirely, if the pa
per situation was not most
serious.
The matter was unselfshly
and carefully considered be-
fore advertisers were request
ed to help improve a condi-
ton that is admitted to be
very acute. u
