before the special left Toledo this mora
ing for Lansing, Mich. where he will
| speak this afternoon. He said:
1T is proposed to substitute the old
Hague tribunal for the league of nations.
That old institution closed up before the
war. I imagine there are bats in the
belfry, that there are spider webs every
where.
Certainly it was closed as a distinct
failure, having been unable 70 prevent the
war of 1914
"And now, the opposition candidate
says that he will go back, open up this
institution and try to keep house in it
! there.
Men, that is the same advice that you
received from the same source out here
in Ohio in 1912
CAME WITH
NEW CONSTITUTION.
when came to you with a new con
| stitution and asked you to adopt It, a
constitution which would give ut
mothers pensions, a constitution which
would give US the compensation law, in
short which would enable the govern
ment to provide for the needs Of the peo.
pie; when I proposed it, my good friend
Harding said no, let US continue as we
were.
And now, he says that instead os
adopting the league of nations. which If
the modern idea in the matter of bring
ing the nearest possible guarantee OF
peace, he says let US go back to tnr
old way, let US sweep ont the old Hague
tribunal-the reactionary spirit againi
I'm opposition TO that, we propose the
progressive spirit.

in the world. ! want prosperity 4
America and want government to pla
absolutely fair with labor and capital
