NEW YORK. October 9.-Into the

ment:
THE more the campaign develops
the more appalling seems the evil
that would follow the election of a

nary caliber. The fact that he has
polite and well meaning personality
only makes 1t the worse The pros
pect is of a modern revival of the
doges of Venice and the council of

way morally on a par, fear, with

DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman, presi-
dent of Cornell University, an advo-
cate of the league of nations. who
since Senator Harding's rejection of
the league has sought to reconcile
the various positions taken by the

President Wilson was correctly quoted

when he wrote his farewell address.
1T was not merely because of pass

SENATOR THOMAS
ATTACKS LEAGUE
Democrat Explains Why He
Consented to Run as
a Nationalist"

DENVER, Colo, October Q (by the
Associated Press).--In statement
today explaining why he refused to
seek the democratic nomination and
then consented to run as nationalist"
candidate for United States senator,
Charles S. Thomas. democratic SEN
ator from Colorado, attacked the
league Of nations and treaty of peace
and declared the major parties have
given the people mo clear.cut issue
to attract or repel them"
Both the national conventions of
1920 successfully avoided the more
serious problems now demanding pub
lie consideration" the statement said,
except the democratic pronounce
ment for the league of nations, after
ward modified by the acceptance of
the NOMINEE. Definite policies have
been concealed behind a bewildering
camouf1age of soothing verbosity."
On League Question.
Concerning the league of nations,
the statement said:
Il am opposed to the covenant of
the league of nations because it can
not under the Constitution be estab-
lfShed through the exercise of the
treaty-making power.
Because it is founded upon and
luSt administer vicious treaty OF
penalties and indemnities:
Because it's articles will in prac-
tice tend to prevent rather than pro-
mote permanent peace among the ma
lions;
Because it creates two interna-
tional organisms-one for the admin
istration of world affairs. the other
to dominate labor as an international
class institution;
Says 1t Commits United States.
Because it abandons the nations
traditional foreign policy;
Because it commits the United
States to direct participation in the
political. religious, racial and geo.
graphical differences and contro-
yersies present and future between
nations, races and creeds the world
over;
because it obliterates the Monroe
doctrine"
Regarding the treaty. Senator
Thomas said he opposed it because
it's economic provisions disregard the
terms of the diplomatic notes under
which the enemy surrendered: be-
cause the amount Of the German in
demnity is indeterminate; because it
involves also the ratification of the
Anglo French American alliance
treaty against Germany; because it
takes America to Europe and keeps
her there Indefinitely.
II shall construe your mandate, if
elected, as eliminating me from eau
Gus aff1liation with either party, but
as cooperating with either or both
for the well-being of the nation" Mr..
Thomas statement declared.

Coughlin Baby's Slayer
Wants to Die for Crime
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13. - Augusta
Pasquale, kidnaper and self-confessed
murderer of thirteen nthsold
Blakely Coghlin, Of Norristown, to-day
told the authorities Il at he wanted to
die for the crime he had committed.
The statement was made to Captain
Samuel Gearhart, of the state police.
1t was delivered in calm conversational
tones, as though it were matter of
little import.
Despise Pasquale's declaration there
is strong likelihood that the mur-
derer may escape with his life. Obsta-
cles are piling up in front Of the au-
thorities which may make it impossible
to send the man to his death for the
crime.
The crank may not even be arraigned
on the charge of numbering Blakely
Coughlin. Technical difficulties in the
law may save him from trial for
murder, or, if he is placed on trial,
from a conviction
Failure to find the baby's body and
thus have proof positive that a murder
has been committed may make convic-
tion impossible
Pasquale's assumption of the blame
for the murder Of Mrs. Pose fisherman
the night before the Coughlin baby was
stolen is beginning to be doubted by
the auth critics, who believe that it NAV
be trick on his part to obtain trial
in Philadelphia
