A PLEA OF CONFESSION AND
AVOIDANCE.

Governor Cox in his Pittsbure
speech charged that the Republican
managers were raising $15,000,O0t
campaign fund, by fixing quotas and
resorting to methods used by the
Federal Government for the sale Of
bonds. The Governors charge was
promptly and emphatically denied by
the Chairman and Treasurer of the
Republican National Committee, but
now comes Senator Harding and
,queers their denials. In speech at
his home in Marion, Ohio, on the 2Sth
sof last month he said:
ut is true that the Republican
managers have undertaken to
raise a large sum Of money for
the necessary expenses Of the
campaign by pursuing the meth
DDS adopted in the Liberty Loan
drives. They have assigned to
every community Of the country
quota which they
think the Republicans of each
community ought to subscribe.
What the total amount OK these
quotas is has not yet been made
public, but it is certain that Gov
ernor Cox ought to have very
accurate figures and incontrovert-
ible evidence before making any
such sweeping statements as
those for which he is response
BILE" \
Governor Cox did give the quotas
assigned to more than fifty Of the
larger cities of the country, and thu
failure of Mr.. Harding to deny the
correctness Of the Governors figures
is practically an admission Of theil
correctness and an attempt to avoit
them, something in the nature of the
old Common Law plea Of confession
and avoidance.

WHY THE PEACE TREATY WAS
NOT RATIFIED.

1t is now generally admitted, by all
well informed people, that England's
treatment Of ireland did more than
anything else to prevent the ratifca-,
ton Of the Peace Treaty by the United
States Senate.
OF course there were many senator's
who opposed ratification for partisan
reasons, but they would have been
overborne were it not for the fact
that Englanls Irish policy was not
in line with the spirit and purpose OF
the League Of Nations provided for by
the Treaty.
Those partisan senator's, without
support other than their partisanship
would have been overborne by the
mystic forces that unite the homes OF
this country with the graves OF their
soldier dead, with the graves OF the
tens Of thousands Of Americans who
went three thousand, miles and died
to help put an end to war, to help
secure a League Of Peace. Those par
tisan senators could not have long
withstood the entreaties Of the moth
ers OF every land, who are hoping and
praying for the day when wars shall
cease, were 1t not for the fact that
Great Britain's cruel treatment Of
ireland gave them reason or excuse
other than partisanship for their re-
fusal to ratify.
The best friends of the Treaty were
unable to satisfactorily answer this
question: Why should America help
England to the benefits of a treatN
the provisions Of which England dis
regards in her dealings with Ireland.
There are at least 100000 Of peo-
pie Of Irish blood in this country, and
they are a power that will continue to
bar the way to the ratification Of the
treaty until reservations are adopted
which will exonerate this country
from helping Great Britain on any
question or in any way as long as
Ireland is denied the right of self
discrimination, or at the very least
the right to choose her own system
Of home rule.
Governor Cox in his speech at st,
Paul last week madeatit quite clear
that he favored the application Of the
principle sofsss self i, determination for
Ireland, and, if elected, he would do
all in his power to help Ireland
choose her own future.
Senator Harding, II elected. favors
scrapping the present treaty in its
entirety, sol that 1t is reasoiab1y ;safe.
to: say that England will not in any
event get any help from this country
under any League of Nations until
it grants ireland reasonable meas
ure Of self government.

PALMER TAKES
SHOT AT SMITH
Acknowledgement Opens Cam
paign for Democratic Nom
ination in Georgia.
ASSAILS WILSON'S FOES

Gainesville, Ca, April ia PO-
Opening his campaign to obtain the
support of Georgia's delegation to
the democratic national convention,
Atty Gen. A. Mitchell Palmer in an
address here today attacked the can
didacy of Senator Hoke Smith for
the democratic. presidential nominal
ton. assailed the record of the re-
publican majority in congress and
upheld the position of President VIII
son in the treaty controversy.
The attorney general at the outset
OF his address said he had entered
the Georgia primary because certain
enemies of the administration pro-
posed to enter candidate" with the
intention only TO secure delega-
ton to the San Francisco convention
which might be controlled by the
critics OF the admipis STATION.
Fs-s'The change In the plans OF, me
which has resulted in the entering of
the name of a distinguished citizen
of Georgia as a candidate does not
materially alter the situation nor
change my duty with respect to It.
AS | read the candidacy of Senator
Smith he is not a real candidate for
president. His candidacy is intended
only to embarrass the president and
the party which he leads. IL this
were not true should have hesitated
to oppose him here, for under other
circumstances he would have had
large claim to the sympathy and sup
port of his own state. If, in maxi
ing his announcement. he had de-
clared himself to he in sympathy
with the course of the party under
the brilliant leadership of Woodrow
Wilson and thus brought himself in
line with what will be the undoubted
declarations of the San Francisco
convention. ! should have gladly
conceded his right. to the preferential
vote of his own state, but have too
much confidence in the loyalty of the
Georgia democrats to great princi-
piles for which our party stands, and
which have been written indelibly
upon the political history of our
times. to be deferred by the prospect
of contest, even with so distin-
guished a son of Georgia as your
senior senator, from giving your
people an opportunity show that
loyalty in terms that would be un-
derstood throughout the country ]
follow the leadership OF Woodrow
Wilson; Senator Smith has repudi
ated it,"
Contrasting the record of the re-
publican majority in congress with
the achievements of the democratic
administration, Mr. Palmer said:
1.-THE republican house of repre-
sentatives for twelve months has
contented itself with investigating
our victory in the war The repub-
lican senate for twelve months has
fought to deprive us of the fruits of
our victory"
Asserting that he stood on a COM
mon ground with President Wilson
as regards the treaty. the attorney
general declared he was one of those
who would have the treaty ratified
without destructive reservations.
Il cannot go along with those who
would destroy the treaty by support
ing reservations which its open and
avowed enemies approve" he added.
II would not object to substantial
reservations IL friendly and really de-
signed to save the treaty and the
covenant"
