to syour editorial policy nor have l - any object in view other than the good = of the Republican party. Having thus intimated the nature IT of this message I'm going to state that. as one of the commonest of the II common herd. it occurs to me that the c Republican campaign managers ana a newspapers might improve their meth cd of combat against the particular sort of campaign Gov. Cox is making. F We read every day some of Coxs utterances to the effect that Harding E and Johnson. Harding and Borah, a Harding and Hughes, or Taft or Root a are not in accord on the League or Nations issue. but we never read of . the differences between Cox and Reed. !, Thomas and Walsh, or other Demo- 7 cratic leaders who simply insist on reservations. We read that senatorial oligarchy 2 nominated Harding but we hear very , little of the fact that Murphy, Tag gart, Brennan, (all Tammany and Tammany type), with the wet as the Atlantic Ocean" Edwards delegation, ' nominated Cox.
 Mir. Cox seems to have forgotten I the 15.000.000 slush fund but was very violent about it for a time. There is little mention. however. of the tes- timony of Bernard Baruch to the effect that he had agreed to raise fund of s10,000.000 to elect McAdoo and that he has actually donated S97, 800 to the Democratic fund; nor that this same Barney Baruch now occupies the posi- tion formerly held so creditably by Col. E. NJ. House. nor that. due to his inside knowledge, said Baruch profited to the extent of more than s50.0O0,0 ,000 during the past five years.
 The Democrats claim all credit for benefits CD of the Federal Reserve | bill overlooking entirely the fact that | the Glass-Owen bill was practically | the Payne-Aldrich bill, and refusing altogether to recognize that the cur rency issuing power was intended to be used only in such emergencies as 1907; that we now have in circulation nearly 75 per cent more currency than before the war and absolutely no treasury notes or gold or silver cer- tificates-all Federal Reserve notes A proposed similar condition in 1896 was heralded and censured as partaking too largely of the nature of fiat money. The Democratic managers make capital of the support of Samuel Gompers which I think might be off set by photos of the residences of Cox and Roosevelt on the one side and | those of Harding and Coolidge on the nominees are mansions such as do not exist in Arizona. while those of the | Republicans are very ordinary. In this same regard, the strongest finan cial house in the world, Morgan & | Col is and has been pro- Wilson pro- league and o-everything else repre- scented by the Democratic party. A lit tie ancient history might also be re- peated: Henry P. Davidson. a member of the Morgan firm. brought to Mor- gan and Go. copy of the draft of the league covenant a long time before the United States senate was per- mitted to know its content. Labor would hardly favor any ambition of Morgan & Co.
 MT. Cox Declares in every speech that Article X does not deprive con gress of it's war making power and technically it does not. However, as MT. Cox declares himself entirely in accord with Mir. Wilson's foreign poll icy, it is reasonable to suppose that he would continue his absolute mon archy in Hayti and might repeat his invasion of Mexico or again occupy Russian territory. Tn none of those instances was congress consulted. 4 reasonable minded man might be oi the opinion that, were our troops tc land on Japan without permission. congress would have to act even more rapidly than it did on the AdamsoT bill to be the first to declare war. also If Japan is a menace. was Mir. WilsoT so busily engaged in lowing to Euro pean worshippers that he failed tc note that to her went the German isl anus III Ane Japan VIII DTOD ably never attempt to. govern the Phil ippines but if she o-ar did take tha notion. the possession of those isl ands would eliminate us as a con tender Congress has the exclusiv power to declare war but the presiden is commander in chief of the army an' navy and can land troops when an' where he will. with or without cause and I believe most other government also have some official or body wit power to declare war.
 All parties seem to have forgotte the six votes of Britain and her col onies who are so. firmly convince that our interests and hers will al ways be identical. It was claimed tha those additional votes were only l the assembly and that the council wa the real power and that all votes mus be unanimous and that is the preser opinion of a majority of people, bot Republican and Democratic. The fac' are that all matters of procedure both bodies are decided by maJorii vote: that majority of the assemb
 may approve the election of new men bers of the council: that dispute b' tween members of the league may reported and recommendations mat by a majority of the council and th' all such disputes must be submitt' to the assembly on request of eith
 party We hear no objections to Artic 16 but in that they agree to mutu
 support along financial lines. GA wort sentiment but, what financial suppo
 could we hope to receive from al
 other nation. Should we not judge
 each case as presented whether or n
 we wish to contribute?) Article
 provides that all treaties shall be re

 Article 20 abrogates all treaties i

 I could keep it up all day but Ina
 no notion you will waste time enou to get thus far. I mix with peo
 who take no particular interest politics; not enough to attempt to t below the surface. but most of wh f are strongly partisan regardless.
