CALLSFOR GOX'S
LEAGUE STAND.

I -'--- re- -
mandate over Armenia asked
I whethe- Gov. Cox had undertaken
to main ain the administration policy
IN the Adriatlc where their policy has
already wei nigh forfeited the friend
ship OF the italian nation. ] asked
whether Gov. Cox had pledged him
self to insist. as president Wilson has
heretofore insisted. that Thrace shah
be settled as Bulgaria desires rather
than as Greece desires
Questions. Not Answers.
In short. asked whether the
Democratic nominee has taken over
the various known and unknown COM
mittmeuts OF the administration for
eign policy in order to establish har-
mony between the president and Gov
Cox
None Of these question has been
answered But there IS accommodating
evidence as to the Democratic atti-
tude. Senator Walsh. OF Washington.
a Democrat, was IN Dayton yester-
day and after a long talk with Gov.
Cox. declared he was going to sup
port the governor According TO the
newspaper reports. the senator was
asked about Gov. Cox's decision re-
( garding article ten, and senator
Walsh said it was possible for him to
agree with a candidate on nine out OF
ten issues and still support that can
didate, even II they differed on the
tenth proposition
Thus It becomes apparent senator
Walsh was not able 70 agree with
Gov. CoL's view on article ten. The
only possible inference is that Gov.
CaO IS maintaining the same attitude
toward article ten that president VII
son has long maintained.
Seek To Cloud Issue.
There IS further evidence that the
Democratic nominee IS obliged to
stand by the foreign policy OF the
administration. Mr. White. the new
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee. indicated very plainly
that the Democrats intend to attempt
forcing other Issues to the front to
keep the public mind away from the
fact that their candidate has given
his pledge TO support the Wilson
policy toward the treaty and league.
Tt Is perfectly understandable that
the Democratic campaign manager
should desire 10 have the whole
sorry business OF Democratic foreign
policies forgotten
Ratification Il Issue.
NO matter how It may be camou-
flaged- II IS more obvious every day
their efforts would be to compel rati-
ncatiou Of the league covenant with
out essential modification Senator
Walsh's statement makes this per-
1ectly plain He admitted himself IN
disagreement with Gov. Cox imme-
diately after a long talk with the
governor. Senator Walsh has here
tcfore been Just as ardeutly opposed
10 article ten as any OF US. But for
the sake OF Democratic harmony, he
is now apparently willing TO forget
about Il, and try 10 induce the coun-
try TO forget about II by pushing
other issues to the front
