tackled the League of Nations, Wilson,

We have always found Mr.. Sears
pretty level-headed, and we could
scarcely believe that he made the
statements attributed to him. We are
glad to be treasured that he ex
pressed no such views, and we hasten
to set him right. Congressman Sears
Is true Democrat and an able and
