GOV. COX'S MAIN
OBJECTIVE is TO
RATIFY TREATY
Vital to Welfare of United
States, Nominee Con-
tends.
READY TO YIELD POINTS

EN- ROUTE WITH GOVERNOR cox,
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Oct. 26.-Goyer-
nor James NJ. Cox's belief is that in the
event of his election he can obtain rati-
hcation of the peace treaty through a
compromise with the Senate, based on
a series of reservations about "haf way
between those Of Senator Hitchcock and
those of Senator Lodge It was learned
today
This is the interpretation which the
Governors advisers, who are With him
on his stump tour, place on his state
ment here that ''the sort of agreement
which shall be enabled to obtain Will
be determined by the senatorial cleo
tions."
FIRST CONCERN
Is RATIFICATION.
The Governor has made 1t plain that
he considers the ratification of the treaty
OF vital concern to the United states,
and to accomplish that end he will be
willing 70 go considerably further than
President Wilson did in effecting COM
promise.
Wilson approved the Hitchcock reserva-
tlons. but rejected those Of Lodge.
Cox said II too much has to be given
in compromise now, it can be corrected
or modified by the people at later cleo
tions
Democratic leaders believe Cox's state
ment that he will accept the views OF
the new Senate to a considerable extent
will be a big factor in swinging more
pro-League Republicans to the Demo-
cratic fold.
Cox is confident Republican leaders.
such as Elihu Root. can no longer at
tempt to claim he wants the league JUST
as It was negotiated.
BACK IN OHIO
FOR FINAL FIGHT.
After stops at Kenova, w. Va, and
Ashland, KY. today Cox VIII be back
in Ohio for the final fight Of the cam
paign.
With just a week remaining he viii
continue TO stress the league as the domi-
nant issue of the campaign.
Upon concluding the trip through the
mining districts of West Virginia ihe
Governor said be was confident labor
is for the league.
r. c. Roberts, representative of the
American Federation of Labor, who has
been touring the State, told the Governor
that S5 per cent of the West Virginia
workingmen will vote for him and he
is confident this will swing the State
into the Democratic column.

ROOT PLAYS TO

RALSTON SAYS
Former Governor Discusses

ATTITUDE IS DEPLORED

Deplorlng what he terms the tendency
of great men to become strategists for
party advantage. Samuel NJ. Ralston, for
mer Governor Of Indiana. issued state
ment today in reply to Elihu Roots re-
cent speech on the League of Nations.
Mr.. Ralston demands to know why Mr..
Root did not discover all the disadvan-
tages of article 10 long ago.
The statement follows:
1t IS interesting, but in a sense DIS
heartening, to see how great men are

questions involving international matters
No one, win call In question the very
marked ability OF Hon. Eli Root as
lawyer and statesman Of international
fame.
He has long been looked up to as an
authority IN the legal profession anc on
world queBt.ons but his position now
against the League Of Nations makes one
wonder why he aid not urge the objee-
ton to article 10 OF the covenant he Is
now making, when men like Mr. Taft
were saying Il did not conflict with our
Federal Constitution and that the objec-
ton to II win not bear examination.
Mr.. Taft was careful TO say that ear
ticle 10 is one of the great steps forward
provided In the League OF Nations for
The securing OF general peace"
Certainly IL would have been a most
opportune time for MIR Root to have
launched his recent protest against this
article, when men, who are among our
sblest statesmen, were taking their po-
siuon along with Mr., Taft in support
Of it.
The truth Is the Republican leaders
became convinced that they had to do
something to scare the people, or the
Republican party would be defeated on
the league issue and hence Dir. Root
proceeded 70 paint a horrible picture Of

REPUbL leans FAIL TO INCLUDE
ALASKA PLANK IN PLATFORM,
HAVE C0NSERvAT|ONlST PLANK

The platform adopted by the Re
publican National Convention last
week in Chicago contains absolutely
no Alaska plank according to infor-
nation originating in Chicago, from
authentic sources, that was received
in juneau this morning. The plat
form, however, contains a strong con
servationist plank.
The failure of the convention to
insert a plank relative to Alaska and
give some promise of future pro
vision apparently comes as total
surprise to those who have been OBJ
serving the situation and who were
convinced that the Territory would
be given favorable consideration by
the G. o. P platform makers.
The omission undoubtedly is a dis
appointment to Alaskan delegates to
the Convention. George c. Hazelett,
of Cordova, who prior to his election
as delegate to the convention, was APP
pointed as a member of the advisory
platform committee is known to have
given much time to preparing an Al
askan plank and it is understood that
he fully expected and was given to
understand that his recommendation
would be given fullest consideration
and possibly adopted so far as they
were found applicable Local Repub-
licans are not able to understand
the omission and know of no cause
for it. Press dispatches received
here last week stated that Mr.. Haze
lett met with the committee on res
olutions, a sub-platform committee,
and no one believes that he did not
do everything in his power to get
an expression of what the admins
tration attitude toward Alaskan mat
tiers would be in case of a Republi-
can victory in the coming Presiden-
tial election.
Democrats Try For One
Believing that the Democratic party
realizes the Importance Of Alaska
as a national asset, even though the
Tertiary has no voice in the national
election, delegates to the Democratic
National Convention soon to be held
in San Francisco, are confident that
liberal Alaskan pollok will be out
lined in the Democratic platform
