THE WOOD PLATFORM.

Those who have not watched
events closely are somewhat mysti--
fled over the start that the Wood
campaign has made; the reason for
the enormous amount OF money
with which it is financed; and the
great amount of work done on it.:
For these, the real meaning of it all
will be seen from the following
editorial paragraph which appeared
General Woods eastern campaign
manager, Congressman Gould, makes
a sharp drive at Governor LoWden
for not endorsing universal military
service, which is coming to be Gen
eral Woods personally conducted
ISSUE The congressman should
have put up SITTER fight in the
house in the generals behalf when
the army bill was passed. Thcre IS
nothing about universal training in
the bill, which was approved by a
ted that this house would not have
dared to provide for the system"
The reason why the general on
such platform is able to rally sup
port in states like Minnesota and
South Dakota is his Roosevelt as
ISOLATION. He is taken to be the
real bull moose progressive candi-
date at the very time That munitions
money is paying the bills.
Long before the national conven
ton convenes the situation is bound
to be understood, and if the general
has not captured clear majority of
the delegates he will have hard
time of it,
In this connection the following
Washington gossip of Louis SeibOld
in the New York World is pertinent:
THE retirement of John T. King,
the Connecticut promoter, from the
management of the Wood campaign,
has caused great deal of specu-
lattion among the republican polite
ians. The circumstances under
which King retired and was succeed
ed by Proctor the Cincinnati soap
dealer, were unusual enough to in
spire significant comment. King is
known to have been extremely
active and fairly successful in re-
cruiting delegate votes favorable to
General Wood before he was depos-
ed. The scope Of his activities justi-
fled the inference that he was ad
eqMately supplied with the sinews of
political warfare. King has never
told how much the Wood war chest
contained, though some of the critics
Of General Wood assert that the for
mer manager of the soldier candi-
date boosted that he had money
enough to put Wood over A republi-
can senator who is not in sympathy
with the ambition of General Wood
is said to have been informed by
King that ten men whose names he
gave had contributed 100000
apiece to bring about Woods nomin-
alton.

NO WONDER THEY FEAR THE IS
SUE.

Republican leaders are doubtless
sincere in their statements that they
don't want the treaty OF peace to
become an issue in the next presi-
dental campaign. Their RESPONSE
bility for it's being a partisan Aues-
ton in the first place. and their ac-
countability for the costly postpone
ment of peace would, in that case,
be put clearly and unmistakably be-
fore the voters, OF whom some fifteen
millions or more will be women
whose sons and brothers fought to
It was no part of the Republi-
can plan that they should frankly
avow their hostility to the treaty
and the League of Nations, and as
sumo the anus of their defeat. They
schemed to preserve an appearance
and give an impression OF friend
illness in the very act of striking the
treaty dead. They hoped to be able
to mourn with their lips while they
reioiced with their hearts at the
treaty's death. They sought TO
crafty their rabid animoslty to-
word the President by multiplying his
efforts without bearing the conse-
uuences of their action.
The Presidents plain declaration
of what he thinks OF Republican
tinkering with the treaty and the
League of Nations may well brighten
the Republican managers who have
been trying to play double part.
They had not counted on having 20
stand, with the eyes OF the country
upon them, and answer the chal-
lenge.

THE TREATY IS KILLED.

Next November the voters of the
United States will decide whether
Senator Lodge and his crowd COM
mitted 'justlIlable hOmicide' when
they killed the peace treaty, or
whether II was case Of plain muir
der.
Using the treaty as a clothesline
and hanging everything on it from
the Monroe doctrine to the freedom
of Ireland, the wrecking party in
the senate completed its work Fri
day, and offered a document its
friends couldn't recognize, with the
result that the necessary tWo-thirds
vote for its ratification could not be
secured.
On the face of the record, Lodge
and his nullifiers lost, for the treaty
they had mutilated and then voted
for, was not adopted. In reality they
than to kill the document that
President Wilson had brought back
from Paris, and that represented a
triumph for democracy and for ideal
ism which the senate hated because
it had not helped to make it.
Doubtless the president erred in
not taking certain senators with him
to Paris. Undoubtedly if he had let
them make the treaty it would have
erred in judgment in selecting his
peace delegation, he and the world
has paid a heavy price. The presi-
dent has been broken in body for
months and the world has been
wrestling with problems which we
should be helping to solve, whereas
we have been breathing hate and dis
trust at Washington toward the
allies with whom we fought in a
great war which has deserved a bet
ter sequel.-Davenport Democrat.

If the wages of every working

talk as if they believed the cure for
all their economic distress lies IN
the increase of their compensation.
