Governor Cox should imagine. is too shrewd politician msled by letter writers. who are urging him take strong position" the League of Nations Those who take the trouble to write letters break into print public oues- tion constitute small part of the whole body of the people They consist for the most part of Citizen Fixts of varying degrees of activity. There are probably in the United States some 25,oo0.o00 people of voting About one in thousand the trouble to write letter any subject which does not imn1e- diately him. think is pretty high esti- mate of the number of Citizen Fixits-
 MT himself deceived by Citizen Fixits with respect to the attitude Of whole peo pie toward League of Nations They no doubt made him believe he said -the peo- pie with him.

It was something different" and that enough They met in their clubs and associations and *oceties leagues other bodies where the Yregarious commngle and endorsed it. They wrote letters president the to the latter, demanding immediate ratification of the treaty and a little later they ambased the senate giving the document consideration and suggesting changes or making inquiry specific meanings.
