,Mr. Harding consistently. The gov
ernor was here for an address at the
auditorium. His statement said:
The gentlemen say the question
is whether we shall join an agree
ment containing the exact provision
negotiated by President Wilson or an
agreement which omits or modthes
some of its provisions 1t is to be
inferred that any one who stands for
the covenant as adopted with or
WITHOUT reservations is friendly to
the league, and that any one who is
against the covenant, with or with
out reservations. is clearly opposed
to the league. Senator Harding, in
his Des Moines speech said: Gov.
Cox favors going into the league and
I favor staying out. 1t is not in
depreciation. but rejection that / am
seeking I leave the people OF Amer
lea to decide the case Just as these
gentlemen have presented it. sub.
nit in answer the spoken words OF
Senator Harding. If these gentle
men do not accept what he has said
to the American people then it is
past my understanding how they
can, as a matter of ethics, advocate
his candidacy.
IF, on the other hand, they do
accept in good faith what he has
said. then l can not see how they
can as friends of the league advo-
cate his candidacy. They attempt to
justify their most astonishing posi-
ton on the theory that President
Wilson was unbending in his atti-
tude on the league. On the subject,
they say Mr.. Wilson insisted upon
the agreement absolutely unchanged.
; These gentlemen upon reflection,
must realize that this is not justi-
fed by the facts .-.. -.
Citing the reservations offered by
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ad-
ministration leader in the treaty con-
test. Gov. Cox recounted that Presi-
dent Wilson had written Senator
Hitchcock stating that he could &C
cept the reservations las they stand"
In conclusion Gov. Cox said:
IF things continue as they have
been going for the last 10 days il
will be a difficult matter to deter
mine whether the people are more
amused at Senator Harding himself
or at the desperation of his sponsor.
A frantic effort is being made to
stem the tide of resentment. 1t ts
flowing in every community. The
senatorial oligarchy has apparently
drawn on last reserves, and yet Mr..
Root, pre-eminent and distinguished
as he is, and no one places higher es-
innate on his statesmen-like quail
ties than I dds unable to bolster
up the wiggling and webbing can
didate. After a long period of vac
illation the people have taken him
at his spoken word at Des Moines
and upon this the campaign will be
fought from now on. Senator Har-
ding is against the league with or
without reservations. Upon that we
are willing to rest our case"

DUBLIN, Dec. 11.--A plant for the

were there at the time, but the moulds
We're still warm. as though bombs had
been freshly cast. Two hundred bombs
in various stages of manufacture were
found.
There was evidence. says the Castle
report, that the filing of the bombs was
done In an extremely haphazard man
ner, as detonators, loose powder mixed
with all kinds OF cartridges and sacks
full Of gslignitc and other explosives
were found lying all about the place.
Loaded revolvers were on the benches.
presumably for the use of the workers

could turn out hundreds of bombs

GOVERNMENTS POLICY
ON IRELAND CRITICISED
Objections Are Based, HoD-
eUer, on Varying Reasons.

BELFAST, Dec. 11.-Criticism of the
Governments new policy toward ireland
was general In the newspaper comment
here to-day. the objections being based
upon varying reasons.
With regard to the Governments ex-
pressed willingness to meet Sim Fein
members Of Parliament not guilty of Sc
rious crimes. the Irish Nctcs, which usu-
ally voices the views of Joseph Devlin.
points out that two Sim Fein members
have died in Jail. that at least dozen
are in prison and that perhaps a score
or more are ION the rum" and II adds:
''Mr. Lloyd Georges proposal resolves
itself into the suggestion that those Sim
Fein members of Parliament to whom
Dublin Castle may give certificates Of
character can avail themselves OF gov
ernmental safe conducts and possibly
meet some persons unnamed. under con-
ditions otherwise unspecified. to discuss
the position of affairs without having
any definite basis upon which to raise
even academic debate. and the bill for
the partition OF Ireland Is to be signed
by the King before Christmas, whatever
may befall"
The Unionist press looks with suspi-
cion upon the proposed Sim Fein par
ley. 1t points out that the Governments s
statement was made on the invitation of
former Premier Asouith. an advocate OF
out OF town dominion horne rule, who
was apparently aware of It's tenor. The
Unionist newspapers. however. find COM
fort in the Premier's promise to Ronald
McNeill to proceed with the present Irish
Home Rule bill.
