BELIEVE COX WON'T
LIFT VEIL ON LEAGUE
Capital Wiseacres Expect His
Acceptance to Deal Only
in Generalities.

Specidl 10 THH suS AND NEw YORK HERALD.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Wlth some of
his advisers insisting that the League
OF Nations must be the paramount issue
in the campaign and the rest declaring
1t must be soft pedalled. It was declared
here to-day by leaders close to Gov. 'ox
that his speech of acceptance Saturday
will not lift the veil much concerning his
stand on the league issue.
So far as the league is concerned, ac-
cordlng to this information, Gov. Cox
IN substance merely will repeat the gem
cralities which have characterized his
position thus far. He will affirm once
more that he Is for the League of Ma
tons and thar reservations which would
'stlfe' or ''nullify" 1t must be beaten.
Tho justification given tor this atti-
tude was that Gov. Cox, II elected, will
not assume to boss the Senate. but will
communicate to II in general way that
he wants the league put through without
reservations, which would emascuate
the original purpose OF the covenant,
then leave 1t to the Senate to work out
the details.
There is evident a determined effort
by Cox advisers to keep the Democratic
nominee from becoming too specific
about reservations. Advisers who want
the league to be the paramount issue
and those who do not agree on this ap-
parently. The leaders who want the
league question kept foremost In the
campaign are those striving to create
the impression that the election Of Cox
means a League Of Nations and that his
defeat means there will be no league
Naturally they do not want the nominee
to pin himself down to supporting or op-
posing any definite programme regard
ing the issue, They prefer to leave 1t
where It now lies, with the Governor on
record merely as opposed to "nulifying
whatever they may be-
On the other hand those Democratic
advisers who want the league kept out
OF the campaign as much as possible and
want It continually played down or over
shadowed in Importance by other Issues
OF course do not want Gov. Cox to COM
NIT himself any further on the subject.

WILLIAM WILLIAMSON,
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

u & Z ..& Il
AT its proposal meeting in
Pierre, the Republican party nomi-
mated for congress in this district
William Williamson of Oacon,a
He hase for several years been the
circuit Judge Of the eleventh jul
tlcial circuit, which embraces the
territory south and east Of. us to
the Nebraska line He has held
court a. number Of times at Ka-
doka and is well known to many
of the people Of this county.
Mr.. Williamson was born In Au-
rora county of Scandinavian par
entage, about forty years ago. His
father homesteadad IN that county
land later the, son, honesteaded in
Lyman county where he has since
resided. rs 81 ~
He was elected states attorney
|of Lyman county before he was
graduated from law school, before
he was admitted to the bar, and
before he was twenty-one years of
age, so the story goes. We doubt
lit. But certainly young William
son plunged into the toll and ex-
cite ment Of a. pioneer lawyer as
soon as he arrived at mans estate,
and his first tasks were prosecut-
ing horse and cattle thieves down
in that locality. He must have
Igot on pretty well with his Job,
Because the people reelected him
and, after a time reelected him
again and again until his growing
'aw practice would no longer justi-
fy his holding the office.
Then he was appointed circuit
Judge by the governor when the
new eleventh judicial circuit was
formed and has been twice elected
since by the peonle. Lawyers and
Everybody else who know anything
about how a circuit court should
be perated say that William Will
liamson was a real circuit Judge.
He could cut. more red tape Of
the lawyers and override more of
their rusty rules in fifteen minutes
Than they could gather together
III two weeks. But he could ar
rive at the real Justice Of the
thing as quick as anyone, and
could transact more court business
in a day than any man we have
ever seen in action.
The Republicans have put forth
a strong candidate for congress.
It. MAJ be In the political cards
that this IS their time to win. A
good many close observers both
Democratic and Republican think
it is. Judge Williamson will make
a first class congressman.
