ASK CANDIDATES
To SUPPORT SOME
FORM OF LEAGUE
Open Letter Sent to Both Hard
ing and Cox
SEEK DECISION AT ONCE
Suggest League With Lodge ReserVa-
tlons or Such Revisons AS May
Be Decided Upon.

New York, Oct. 24.-More than fifty
supporters of Senator Harding and
Governor Cox, Republican and Demo-
cratic presidential candidates. to-
night Joined in an open letter to them
a king their pledge to work, If elect
ed. for the United States entry into
the League of Nations with whatever
revision of the Lodge reservations
two-thirds of the next senate may ap-
prove.
Asserting that the approaching ma
tional election may be indecisiye OF
the dominant issue Of the campaign
and leave the vital question of our en-
try into any league or association of
nations still deadlocked in the Senate
or between the Senate and the White
House with decision more hopeless
than before" the letter said.
Believing that now and not after
the election when new partisan align
ments, new ambitions and new ami
mosities may make it doubly difficult,
is the time to secure the commitments
against such damaging situations, we
are giving our earnest support to the
reasonable and thoroughly practical
proposal contained in the question
which we now present to YOU as fol
lows:
III the election fails to provide the
required twO-third8 vote in the Sen.
ate for our entry into a league or as
sociatiOn of nations for the preser
vation Of peace upon basis more sat.
isfactory to you, will you advise and
support our entry into the existing
League Of Nations with the Lodge res
servations. or with such revision OF
them as twothirds Of the Senate may
approve"
Whatever may be our individual
preference as to the form of the set
tlement OF the League of Nations ques
tion, or whether il is to be a league
or new association of nations is not
the VITAL concern in this proposal. An
affirmative answer to 1t would call nc
fulfillment until after one side shall
have exhausted every reasonable ef
fort to enter the existing League OF
Nations with mild or merely interper
tatiye reservations and the other side
shall have tried every fair eXpedient t
supplant the league with a new ant
different world organization tor the
preservation OF peace or to enter Il
after thorough revision by the adoptio.
OF other reservations or amendments.
