apparently did not fully agree with
Senator Johnson's Interpretation of
the national platforms league plank,
nor concur in his denunciation of the
league outright as cardinal doc
trine of republicanism. The New
York republicans adopted this plank
relieving that it is the paramount
issue of the American people today
we favor the league of nations plank
as contained in the national PLATFORM
which declares for league with such
reservations as shall in every way
protect the sovereignty and independ-

to declare war, as opposed to the
league plank adopted by the demo-
cratic convention, namely: league
with such reservations as shall not
in any way impair the instrume nj
brought home by President Wilson
from Versailles"
All of which, il is said in the street,
may lead the independent voter and
the neutral politicaY observer to the
that both the democrats
and the republicans are somewhat en-
tangled in the conflicting interpre-
tations of the various factions of
their respective parties over the
