Text Of Statements
The statement issued by the presi'
dent follows:
1.-The interview was in every re-
spect most satisfactory and crafty
ing. 1 found what 1 indeed already
knew and what Governor Cox has let
the whole world know in his speeches.
that he and 1 were absolutely at one
with regard to the great issue of the
League of Nations and that he is
ready to be the champion in every
respect of the honor of the nation
and the secure peace of the world.
Governor Cox will have the vigorous
support of an absolutely united party
and, I am confident, also of an abb
solute1y united nation"
Governor Cox's statement said:
From every viewpoint the meet.
ing was delightful. The president
was at his best, recalling any detail
inquired about as bearing upon the
international situation and enliven-
ing the whole conference with a hui
morous anecdote now and then in his
old-time characteristic way. We are
agreed as to the meaning and suffi-
cheney of the Democratic platform
and the duty of the party in the face
of threatened bad faith to the world
in the name of America. His
thought is still of the war and the
pledges we gave to those who sacri-
feed. One easily sees that as the
leader of the nation who asked for
our sons and our resources upon
very distinct understanding and OBJ
legation, he is resolved that the faith
shall be kept. To this his thought
and life are dedicated. What he
promised, shall, If elected, endeavor
with all my strength to give"
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement said:
Il wish that every American could
have been a silent witness to the
meeting between these two great
men. Their splendid accord, and
their high purpose are an inspira-
ton. 1 need only add that my re-
greet in leaving my post under Presi-
dent Wilson is softened by the
knowledge that my. new commander
in-chief will be his wholly worthy
successor"
