COX MAKES
CONCESSION
ON LEAGUE
Willing to Allay Fears
Wilson Dismisses as.
NonsensicaL.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Special to The Argus).

Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 9.-Governor
Cox In his speech accepting the
Democratic nomination for the
presidency, took his stand squarely
on the Democratic platform with
respect to the League of Nations.
but he went further and interpret
ing that platform, specified the res
ervations which, IL elected presi-
dent, he would accept. He named
first one that gave America an abb
solutely free hand and legally noti-
fed the other nations that nothing
in the treaty or league could inter-
fere with the right Of congress to
declare war or with the constitu-
ton itself, which he pointed out
could not be contravened by any
treaty but was the supreme law
of the land.
In his second reservation, the
Ohio governor would insist that
America state at the outset that she
was entering the league only with
the understanding that it was to
maintain peace and comfy. This,
Mr.. Cox believes would enable
America to remain aloof from any
military alliance or other war
making controversies.
Governor Cox endeavors in his
speech to show that Senator john
son and Senator Harding are in
absolute accord in opposing the
League of Nations and he takes the
Republicans to task for abandoning
the position they we're in when
they favored ratification OF the
peace treaty with reservations.
Differs With Wilson.
The difference between President
Wilson and Governor Cox-and
there is a substantial difference
lies in the willingness OF the Demo
cratic nominee to accept an all
embracing reservation. thai would
reassure the American people con
cerning the fears Of super-govern'
ment and loss of sovereignty which
Republican orators have success
fully spread in the last year of de
bate. Mr.. Wilson used to brusf
those fears aside as nonsenslca
and would make an academic OF
legal argument supporting his con
tention he never did give formal OF
ioutspoken approval to any set o
reservations and although he oftel
said he would accept interpretativ'
reservations the impression whicl
Opposition speakers implanted wa
that he wanted the treaty ratifiet
without the crossing of a "t"or tn
dotting of an 81"
Governor Cox senses this weak
ness in the Wilson defense OF tn
treaty and says that although tn
language of the covenant is clea

ROOSEVELT
VENTS PLEA
FOR NATION
"A Greater America" Is
Keynote Of Nominees
Acceptance Speech.

Hyde Park, N. Y, Aug. 9.-(Unf-
ted Press).-"A greater America"
nationally and internationally, was
the keynote of the speech here to-
day OF Franklin D. Roosevelt, in ac-
cepting the Democratic nomination
for vice president.
Realization of added greatness
for America depends, Roosevelt
said, on the solving Of two great
problems by the next national ad-
ministration-"our relations with
the world and the pressing need
of organized progress at home"
He declared Governor Cox is pre-
eminently qualified, in spirit,
training and experience to meet and
solve these problems properly,
"one who can lead this nation for
ward in an unhalting march Of pro-
gress."
In world problems, Roosevelt de-
clared, I'VE must either shut our
eyes, build an impregnable wall Of
armaments and live a hermit ma
ton, or We must open our eyes and
see that modern civilization has be-
come SO complex as to make it I'M
possible to be in this world and
not of it."
Need to Act; Not Talk.
AS for home problems, he said
we have been awakened by this
war into a Startling realization Of
the archaic shortcomings of oul
governmental machinery, and Of
the need for the kind Of reorganixa.
ton which only q clear thinking
business man, experienced in thu
Itechnicalities of governmental pro
cedure, can carry out. We need Z
do things, not to talk about them.
He appealed for fairness AMI
generosity in the campaign" de
claring that inasmuch as partisan
ship was buried during the war. !
should not now be revived in an
cient bitterness.
The nominee asserted that tn
nation knows that the war has beel
only half won until. to the cry O
the French at Verdun, "they shal
{, not pass" and of the American d
the Argonne, I'VE shall 60 through.
are added the words, lit shall no
occur again"
| To this end, he said, the Demo
Gratis offer a peace treaty, "whic
to make it a real treaty for a rea
peace must include the League G
Nations"
! League viii Not Die.
He urged that the American pee
Iple be dealt with without vague
ness, double-dealing or equivoca
ton" on the league issue, and ad
ded:
"The league will not die. A
idea does not die which meets th
call of hearts of our mothers"
Peace, he said, can't be declare
by congress, as war is. He pr
dicted that soon the United State
will take its seat in the league.
Outlines Vital Needs.
Turning to domestic questions,
which he devoted much of h
: speech, Roosevelt outlined as Wit;
needs the following:
: "Bettering of citizenship, throug
elimination of !. illiteracy ar
strengthening of immigration lawi
: improvement of working condition

CONTRACTS FOR MORE
GOOD ROADS ARE LET

Contracts for the construction of
the Mora-Las Vegas highway were
awarded Tuesday by the state high
way department to the ]. v. Striker
Construction company of Denver
one for $l76,26054 and the other for
$l4l, ,lO80i.
The letting of two contracts was
made necessary by the fact that the
program was divided into two pro-
jects-No. 80 from Mora to the San
Miguel county line and No. 81 from
Las Vegas to the Mora county line
The two projects meet at the inter-
county line.
The contracts call for the same
class of work on both projects,
which as a matter of fact form one
continuous project between Las
Vegas and Mora-surfacing with
water bound macadam and the
building of concrete structures.
The bids offered by the successful
company for both projects totalled
Just three-tenths of one per cent
more than the estimated cost Of
both projects. The bid on No. 3,
was higher than the estimate oi
$l74,674V but on No. 81 1t was low
er. The estimate on No. 81 was
$I44659.28 and the bid $l4l ,l08.
Six bids were received on both
projects and the Striker company
was the lowest bidder on both.
