Dan Evoke . Boycott
One of the strongest points In Mr..
ConIfrs defense OF the league WAS thai
II u nation would not submit 10 arDl.
lralion then the league members "ouIu
enforce - boycott against mat nation.
II would DO financial boycott and a
trades boycott which would lmperl INC

Gave Away the Consultation
They say that while away. he CAV"
away Inc constitution OF the United
states Article y Is nothing more than
the Monroe Doctrine OF the United
States extended to the peoples OF the
world.
Don't understand me to say that
Congress may not have TO declare war.
We must join the nations In fhe league
and do the things we ask tnSn 10 90.
We must leave Article X In mat cove
nant. They say that our boys VIII be
sent out OF the United States. If after
every resource Of the covenant tails

you don't know America.
II don't want you to vote for the lea
CUE because you are partisan democrats
but because you are Americans.
Germany had been MEMBER OF the
league in 1914 there would not have
been war.
The Republican candidate for prcsi.
dent says he is going TO get up some
kind Of en- association to take ths@olace
OF the league. Well. who Is going 10
shcviki and MEXICO? No. when they get
in they want to get In the big league.
The league is tunctiontng now; 1t Is do

They say much about changes in the
covenant. Why our constitution was
amended nineteen times. There were
persons who attacked our constitution
when II was drafted as bitterly as there

There was no one AGAINST the league

many poor fellows in the penitentiaries

Moral issue
In conclusion, Mr.. Conif said that the
women OF the United States had been
granted something which they had
fought for for quarter Of century.
They are interested in the moral Ques-
tons, he said. and they now have an
opportunity TO speak on the greatest
moral question OF all times-the League
Of Nations.
II would not vote the Democratic
ticket II the. Democratic party was OPP
posed 10 the league" Mr. Conin said.
but there are people against IT, es'
peeially the prohteers, because they
make mora money out OF war than they
do out OF peace"
