President Wilson got into the presi-
Dental campaign at ne beginning Of
the week with a long letter addressed
to his fellow citizens, urging them to
place the seal of ther approval Of the
League Of Nations covenant by their
votes at the polls in November. He
said: The chief question that is put
to you is, of course, this: Do you want
your country's honor indicated and
the treaty Of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve Of the
League Of Nations as organized and
empowered in that treaty? And do
you wish to see the United States play
It's responsible part in it?"
He said the opponents OF sie league
had mislead the voters and had dis
played gross ignorance and lmpudent
audacity in their attempt to invent an
Americanism' Of their own, which has
no foundation whatever in any of the
authentic traditions of the govern
ment"
Following this lead, Governor Cox
and Franklin Roosevelt in their cam
paign speeches are now making the
League Of Nations the great issue and
are deyoting to it most Of their argu-
ments. Homer S. Cummings, former
Democratic national chairman, also
has been called on and viii speak for
the league in Ohio, Kansas, Indiana,
Kentucky New Mexico and California.
