Mir. Wilson. Hi. Candidate, and the Issue.

Mr. Wilson: His Candidate, and the issue
 There is nobody whom the president and Mir. Cox can trust any hidebound Democratic poli- tcians and the circle of Mir. Wilson's sycophants Former President Taft. Attorney General wickersham President Lowell of Yale. have fallen down, and here comes Ehu Root who heretic and rather more than questions the infallibilty of Mir. Wilson.
 All these men. Mir. Root. had signified their agreement with the president to the League of Nations and Mir. Root himself. had never violently dssented from him. All of them earnestly in favor of a league Mir Wilson and would prefer his league either it stands a basis for world understanding But all of them practical and are aware that we become part of league unless conforms the wishes of the Amer ican people. It is evident that Mir. Wilson's league does not and that have been prevented from joining league only by the obstinacy of the president obstinacy which has stood against not only popular sentiment in this country. but against the acquescence of powerful European nations.
 As to Governor Cox's view of the case. that does matter at all. Nobody appears to be giving att tention to him. Previous his pilgrimage to the White House it did appear that he had any de- cided views on the league; impression prevailed at Francisco that he rather against the Will sonian league. And it does now appear from his speeches that he knows very much about That is quite plain from the in which he linked the Irish question with Article H. else. he over estimates the ignorance of the country the subject
 After all. in spite of the warning and advice of Democratic leaders Mir Wilson has succeeded in mak- ing the league the issue of the campaign; that is only of the Democratic campaign Governor Cox, if left to himself would probably have selected other issue. But he has under the domination of the president that he nothing than figure head wilsonsm is the issue. the president desired it to be.
 The last effort Of Governor Cox to kick the traces and think and speak for himself made at Wichita two weeks ago. when an unguarded ment. and moved indignation by heckler he said My friend Wilson running the presidency Cox is running" But the president showed him two days later who was really running. In his now fa- nous address from which otherwise formed would have learned that Governor Cox was running or had yet been born for there was no mention of him. the president clear that Wilson league running.
 A few days before that Cox in a spirit of bravado had denounced Mir. Wilson's Burleson and MT. Wilson's Palmer. That seemed a popular thing to do.
 Getting away with that show of independence of the administration without rebule. Cox embold- take the sacred of the president in vain and speak familiarity of my friend Wilson"
 The presidents address promptly following put Cox into his place. since which time he trod the narrow wsonian path and kept within the wilsonian covenant where he can do harm either the feel ngs of the president to Senator Harding. He has the tractable candidate ever set his face toward the White House. and no other ever watched it closely for signs approval or dis approval
