 WOULD TRADE ALL TO SAVE LEAGUE
Col. Ralph D. Cole of Ohio, Before Big Audience, Opens National Campaign Here - Cameron Also Speaks


 Speaks
 Virginia was the mother of presi- dents before the Civil war. and Ohio has occupied that position since that great conflict. But there has been this dis tinction between the two mothers: Vir- ginia never produced Republican president, and Ohe has never given birth to a Democratic president and will never do so. There is no candi- [ date from Virginia running this year.
 In this way Col Ralph D. Cole of Ohio last night at the Y. M C. A. sta dium predicted the certain election of Warren c. Harding as president on Nov. 7. The address of Colonel Cole | was the firing of the first gun in Arizo- | na in the national campaign. He fol- low ed several of the county candidates and a spirited address by Ralph H. Cameron. Republican candidate for United States senator.
 This said Colonel Cole, "is my sec end visit to Arizona" It was gratify- ing to him, he said, to receive the sec ond invitation to any locality, since return call had been so seldom accorded him.
 Was in Europe at Time
 Colonel Cole dealt chiefly with the
 
 largely upon his own observations. for he was serving Tn Europe at the time of the negotiotion of the treaty. He did not speak in condemnation of Presi- dent Wilson. The president, he said, was sincerely an internationalist and | it was not only his privilege. but his duty to place before the people his views of what he believed to be the best for the world. But the speaker did not believe that one who declared that nationalism had broken down or that the league of nations was of great CT importance than the constitution of the United States was fitted to serve as chief executive of this great nation.
 Colonel Cole described the propa- ganda which had been set on foot for a super government, a government of the world. 1t had cost this country more than a million dollars and naturally it centered about the president. At the time the president and his entourage reached Europe Colonel Cole was bil- leted. he said, with peasant family in Belgium amid the most squalid pow erty, the poverty of war. Yet in the window of the hut in which he lived. as in the windows of all huts in Europe was an expensive Autograph of the president
 The original plan of the president was much more ambitious than that which efterward found expression in the covenant of the league of nations. The president, in order to force it through the conference, was preparing to appeal to the peoples of Euroe over the heads . of their delegates at Versailles. But the . league of nations became the irreduciblt minimum. At last the president traded everything for that except Plume Wher ? France demanded large part of Soutl l Africa, said the president: Take it give mo the league of nations" In re. ply to the demand of Lloyd George fol [ more of South Africa and the islands O g the sea, the president said: "Take it t want the league of nations" I Never Such Remaking s There had never, said the speaker ! been such a remaking of the map o the world, such a giving of the worl' q away People were separated fron e those of their own blood and kinshi e and ranged with alien peoples.

 The address of Colonel Cole was en ie livened and illustrated by many hu lu morous anecdotes Describing the poI ss ularity of the president and all Amer " jeans previous to the signing of tl s armistice, he said that young Amer '9 ican soldier, after the signing, thoug
