i, or the administration when former Gov | hoge, Of New Jersey, and other repub- | lcans sought to overwhelm it with con-
 tumely The president. when during the san Francisco convention it was pub ished in New York that Senator Glass had declared that Cox would not in any l respect please the administration, caused 1 Secretary Tumulty to wire the opposite ! fact. And President Wilson is satisfied with the position that Gov. Cox has dent, in self-defense, would be compelled
 to exert himself. For should Cox, fight ing for the League of Nations, go down in defeat, Wilson would retire from the White House-after an administration which made itself felt the world over to certain definite extent discredited And in Cox is the final hope that Will son idealism. humanitarianism and world-fellowship will prevail over Pen- roses political praeticality and national selfishness.
 THE HARDING SURRENDER It is reported that one of Mir. Will sons first publications will be an as- sertion that theI democratic party, on authority of it's leader Gov Cox, accepts the republican challenge to go to the people with the League of Nations as an issue.
 It will be his business to contrast the po9ltiOh ol so6ndlOr f1dTulIlSs dS SLdteu III his acceptance address at Marion, and that of Gov. Cox to be expressed Aug. [. The president will point out the fact that, although Senator Harding voted for the League of Nations with reserva- tions in the Senate, in his candidacy he has completely surrendered to Senator Johnson in repudiating the league-sur- rendered to such an extent that John son has said, "Well done" It is the contention of Senator Harding that the United States, in an extra session of Congress, must attempt to negotiate Iseparate peace with Germany and then lesurely proceed in an effort to revive The Hague tribunal or establish an in- ternational court with common interna- tional law.
 It Is the position of Gov. Cox that the United States should adopt the league with the expressed understanding that the United States can take no action re- lating thereto without the official ap- proval of Congress.
 REAL WAR LOOMS
 In the meantime, Europe is full of war. Both parties will attempt to make capital of that fact. The republicans are already contending that the League of Nations does not prevent war-like na- tions from indulging their natural and favorite pastime.
 The democrats will answer by stating that the league cannot be stabilized, can not function, as long as the United States, holding the balance power or the world, remains in a vacillating at titude. That the league is apparently inpotent, the democrats will explain by stating that the United. States will not get in or out-and that one or the other it must do for the safety of the world.
 It is recognized in Washington that there is grave danger of another real war. With the possibility looming thas there will be another call for American mothers to sacrifice American sces on the altar of Mars, it is to be demon strated whether or not these mothers will stand by the party preaching world peace or the party declaring preference for the old order of things with its con- stant crime and bloodshed.
