League Will Be Main Issue,

The Democrats have leaders in their
party who are as much opposed to en-
trance into the league as are any of
the Republicans, but the opponents of
the plan in the Democratic party are
much fewer in number than in the Re-
publican party. 1t seems, from every
thing which from both Repub-
lican and Democratic national com
mittee headquarters, that the league Is
next campaign, and that the Repub-
leans who oppose it are to oppose any
approach to entrance therein, and the
Democrats are going to urge full affiili-
alton.
1t is pretty generally understood that
the leading Democrats are consulting
with former President Wilson as to his
views on the issue of the coming cam
paign. Mr.. Wilson, as the world
knows, was the original American pro
poser and the Original American sup
porter Of the general plan of the
League of Nations. Naturally, he looks
for the v%indication of his views. Seem
ingly his proposal In the matter was
repudiated in 1920. 1t will be put to
the test of sanction or reputation
again in 1924. Everybody in Washing
ton, and presumably the country with
1t, knows that Mr.. Wilson stands today
In this matter just where he stood four
years ago.
Taking note of the actual signs of
the times, it Is apparent today hat the
Democrats believe there has been a
change of opinion in the United States
on this league matter. The truth Is
that the Democratic leaders seem to be
rather cheerful oyer the prospect,
Whether there is a basis for their
cheerfulness or no is another question,
but If it is counterfeit it is a pretty
foir counterfeit.

Republicans United on This.

On the other hand, the Republican
leaders say that determination of the
American people to have nothing to dc
with the League of Nations is just as
fixed as it was in 1920. 1t is true that
the Republicans are divided on the
question of the wisdom of President
Harding's proposal concerning member
ship in the International Court of
Justice, but seemingly there is no split
at all on the matter of the League of
Nations itself. The opposition to the
league will be just as marked in the
Republican campaign mex year as 1t
has been in the past. Everything which
comes from the Republican national
committee headquarters in the form
of party propaganda proves this to be
the fact.
Several organizations intended to
promote American good will toward
the League of Nations have been
formed recently, and are at work. One
of them is directed by former Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court John
Hessin Clarke. The body of league
supporters is extraordinarily busy. II
is expressing its views just as former
President Wilson would have them ex-
pressed. There are few a~nti-league
organizations as such, but there are
