EX-PRES|DENT DETERMINED
 UPON ISSUE
Democratic Leaders Believe Failures of Republicans Give Best Material For Waging Campaign In
 1924 Elections

WASHINGTON. April 16.-Wood- TOW Wilson's new appeal for the League of Nations meets only quad flied eindorsement among democratic leaders who now favor reservations if the United States IS to adhere to the covenant.
 Wilson's letter to Representative Rouse of Kentucky disclosing that he still believes that the United States ought to join the League un- conditionalIy and similar expressions of James NJ. Cox and former Justice John H. Clarke have left democratic party leaders divided as to whether it would be wise to conduct the 1924 campaign on the issue of adhering to the League covenant.
 Practical politicians of the party believe there has been a trend in favor of the League since the dis aster of 1920. But they are not so sure that the pendulum has swung completely back hence an appeal for unqualified membership in the League would be unwise in their opinion. Reservations which will meet the common objections to the covenant are favored.
 If the present divisir>' within the party persists. the democrats will sit down to draft their campaign platform split into two groups. On one side there will be the followers of Woodrow Wilson faVoring an un- qualified commitment In this group will be Cox and Clarke, Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. and others of the loyal Wilson contingent Against them will be W lliam J. Bryan. who has always regarded ar ticle X, as obnoxious, Bryan, six months before the 1920 convention, warned his party that it would be fatal to go before the country in de- fense of article X.
 Former Senator Hitchcock, who led the Wilson fight for the treaty in the Senate, is opposed to bringing the League into the campaign at all. Senator Walsh of Massachu- setts, strong factor in the party councils, will join with this anti Wilson group. It will be particu- larly bitter fight because the fate of candidates will be bound up in the outcome. The struggle over the party platform will determine the relative strength of the factions be- fore the balloting begins and will have an important bearing on the

trading and bargaining for dele gates
 Many party leaders are opposed to the efforts to create paramount issue at this stage. While they have no complaint against former Justice Clarke or any other candidate who is voieng his convictions, they feel that the best interests of the party require that issues be kept in fluid state at present. An attempt to shape issues now might prove to be a boomerang If later developments should change the situation. For instance, many democrats doubt whether the present revival of inter est In the League of Nations will continue.
 They think 1t has been stirred up largely ty the Harding international court rrcposal and the visit of Lord Robert Cecil. which happened to CO., incide. But a year hence. the coun- try may be deeply engrossed again in its own domestic problems.
 Democratic politicians here fore saw that the President would en- counter trouble within his own party by his international court plan. They are content to allow the republican irreconcilables and the administra- tion followers to fight it out within their own party. The party in power will have to defend it's own record during the campaign, and democratic strategists are content for the mo- ment to shoot an occasional shell across the lines. Then when the campaign really begins. the demo- crats will not only assail the ad- ministration's record but will ad- vance a positive program Of their own. Until that time, they prefer to talk as little as possible and avoid creating factional differences. This is why many of them regard the stirring up of the league issue at

Keep Pace
With Evolution

~ declared that the human race was merely
an evolution of the monkey tribe. Some people
agree with him. Others do not.
But there is no denying that even within the mem
ory of most Of US, there has been considerable OF an eyo-
luton in the human mode of living. And today, this evo-
luton is buzzing along faster than ever.
There has never been a time when conditions changed
so rapidly-when life bettered itself so consistently. New
comforts and conveniences are coming in all the time. And
the rapidity with which they are invented and put before
us vitality affects US all.
To take advantage Of these things, you must keep your
self informed. You must know not only what they are,
but also how much they cost and where and how to get
them.
The only way you can know this is to be a regular
reader of advertisements.
Advertisements tell of all that the world is doing
to make you more comfortable, your work easier, your
methods better, your clothing and food problems less irk-
some. They tell you how you can save time-and effort
and money in the selection of the things that make life
worth while.
Advertisements are interesting, instructive and highly
profitable to you.
