Mr.. Harling's Statement
Senator HardinE'S statement follows
In fun:
Our D"mocratic friends are having
difficulty getting away from ~" "rhar-
easement incident 10 their candidates
visit to tn" Whit" lloUs" and Tho suhsO-
uu"rt announcement thai T., and the
Pr" sidc'r found 'h"ms"'v"S IN entirA
accord.
a, the time Of .hoI~ conference
addressed some rIi"z'lrrs 80 no Demo
far so"H ~ u answer. o." 80 them
was wh"tN"r with rrcs!d"n! Wilson h.
had pledged h'w~Hlf - TN" ratification
81 N" treaty and '"acp' with essential
notifications. Another Ut,S whether
article ton had hC"u "'r"r''I by him.
SIN further, asked whr,n"" Governor
COX had undertaken. - el".'t"d. t. 70
new tho demand that th!s country take
a mandate over Armenia asked
whether Governor Cox hnd undertaken
to mairtai nthe administration policy IN
the AdrIatlC. where their policy has al
ready well nigh forfeited the friendship
IF the Italian nation. brought Italy 10
the VCrg" Of revolution and almost
wrecked tho establishment of the peace.
/ asked whether Governor Cox had
pledged himself to insist AS President
Wilson has heretofore insisted that
ThraCc shall be settled as Bulgaria de-
SIINS, TtluNs tlHn as Greece desires.
In short I asked whether the Demo-
cratic nominee has taken over tho var
inus known and unknown commitments
0t the present administration foreign
policy in order "a establish harmony
between the President and Governor
Cox.
Unanswered by Cox.
None Of those questions have been
answered either by Gov. Cox or by any
authorized Spokesman for him But
there IS accommodating evidence as 70
the Democratic attitude. Senator Walsh
Of MasSa chuSctts, q Democrat, was N
Dayton yesterday and after II Ions tax
with GOV. Cox declared That ho was 60
ing to SUPPORT the governor. According
% tho newspaper reports. tho scnalrr
WAS asked about Gov. COX's decision re-
EardinG article t"u and senator Walsh
said that = was possible Tor him -
aErc" with CRndidat" on uIno out nc
ton issues and still support that Caudl-
dat" even II they differed Oh the tenth
proposition.
Thus IT becomes apparent that Sen
ator Walsh was not Hhl" 10 agrr" w!tN
Gov. Cox's, View on article ten.
TIL" only possible iufercur" IS that
Gov. Cox Is maintaining the same att
tudc toward article ten thnt President
Wilson has long maintained. Apparcnt-
ly, the governor has given assurance
10 the president that II elected he Will
stand by tho presidents program. 9th
able to give Senator Walsh assurances
that would have saved III" latter from
the uncomfortable necessity Of admit
ting that they did not agree about art!-
Gle ten.
Obligated to wisconsin.
There - further cvidcuC" tina; the
Democratic nominc" !s obligated - !
stand by IN" foreign policy Of the pres
cnt administration.
Mr.. White the now chairman OF TN !
Democratic national committee. was
interviewed IN Washington yesterday
and said progrcssiveiSm Is To \" tho
paramount issue Of the campaign. And
later he added 'proErcssive!srn ne"es-
snr!iy carries with L tho L"agu" ~
Nations and h" indicated very plainly
that the Democrats intend u attempt
forcing other 'ssues TO tho front 20
keep the public mind away from tho
fact TINT their cRnd idate has given his |
rlcdg" IS support tho Wilson policy to-
ward Tn" treaty and tho league.
IL is perfectly understandable that
tho T"mocrat!c campaign manager
should desire to have the whole sorry
husiHeb" Of Democratic foreign policies
forg, S"n But tho country will not
fnrg'| Tn" more the Democrats at
t"mii 20 get away from this question.
ihs more insistcnt the country VIII be
t. know what they intend to do II they
ar" entrusted with tho administration.
II Is as plain as daylight that accord!H
could rot have been established by the
President and the Democratic nominee
except on condition that the latter az
