" patlng the probable trend of sentiment , that will . be expressed In the Demo cratic national convention at San Fran I Cisco or forecasting the ultimate conclu . sion of that body. But I have every con ' fidence that the delegates who will sit In that convention will repeat (he challenge - I Issued to the Republican party and ex t" press their readiness to permit the peo ple to decide between the vague and am? ' biguoua dclaratloh by the Republicans and a positive and definite expression of opinion by the Democratic party. What ever else the Democratic party may do. I hope that Its convention at San Fran cisco will say Just what It means on every issue and that it will not resort either to ambiguityvpr evasions In -do- .. Ing no, "This thing (the League of Nations) lies too deep to permit of any political aculduggery, any attempt to sidestep or evade moral and : humanitarian re sponsibilities much too solemn to treat ( so lightly or ignore. ' LET AMERICA KEEP WORD "I should prefer at this time not to dis cuss partisan politics or to venture any predictions as to the probable attitude -that the Democratic convention will take - on any subject. I sincerely believe, how ever, that the vast majority of the gen tlemen who will sit In the San Francisco convention will appreciate the necessity and permanent value of keeping the word that America has given to tne rest of the world. ' -' , "The thinly veiled rejection of the prin ciple of the League of Nations by the Chicago convention will not fool anyone. The attitude of Senator Lodge and that - of Senator Johnson differ only In de gree. Both-are . equally opposed to jK in mm any form. One of these gentlemen is dis- ( ingenuous and evasive ana tne otner can didly hostile, LEADEB8' REVERSAL CITE ' It must be a trifle disconcerting to seme Republicans to have their party propose now to repudiate that which was approved a few years ago by some of. their most important leaders. I am as confident today as 1 was when I returned from Parts finally In July last- that tne people e not only America, hfft of the entire world are in favor of the League of Nations ; that they would feel a greater sense of security If Its benefits should be guaranteed; that they would not approve, with their votes, the policy of the Republican party, which Is wholly political in Intent and purpose, to deny them the protection that the League of Nations assures. ;. , '-&. jThe Republican congressional policy was more significant for evasion of Joint responsibility j in grappling with the problems that confront the country than for any moral appreciation of the re sponsibility itself. Republican leaders in congress cried aloud for the repeal of some of the measures which they well knew protected the people from more serious evils than they would have the country, know.- - LEVER ACT EFFECTIVE i ' "The Lever food-control act has proved to be one of the most effective agencies in preventing depredations at the ex pense of the people - than ' almost any other measure now in operation. Time for repealing it is not yet. ,.s 'i i "Republicans chorused a ponderous note of protest against the administra tion enforcement of - the espionage act and some other measures that were of vital necessity during the war. Yet I defy the Republicans to prove that the power given the government during the war has ever1 been unjustly used against te people ; that a single citisen has been unwarrantedly punlshed-for any act of aggression or disloyalty against the nation ; that any man has been punished for expressing his opinion. I have read charges to the contrary, but in each in stance I have had the matter thoroughly looked Into and am In position to contest the accuracy of any statement that the r yhts of a single individual have been unjustly Invaded. ' - SENATE FAILS IK DVTT ' ' "The United States senate has for 11 months had in Its hands the power to end conditions that, are unmistakably Irksome to a gVeat many of our citizens. because with the ratification of the peace treaty the operation of laws that were enacted to safeguard the Interests of the country In the war would automatically cease. -. .. . --: j "As long as these laws are on the statute books they , must be enforced. They have been and are being enforced with-as little injury, to the welfare of the country and rights of Individuals as possible. I do not know that I would even care to defend any policy that I have deemed essential to the fullest pro tection of the national Interest. That would be too much like offering, an apol ogy where one is not- needed. -1 do not believe that my course calls for an apol ogy of any kind.' CXBE8T LAID TO G. O. P. ' "The Republican, and not the Demo cratic, policy has been responsible for any bad effect that have resulted from the failure of the Republican senate to ratify the Versailles treaty and the cov enant of the League of Nations. The Republican policy, of negation has been persisted In for the' sole purpose of ad vancing Republican chances for winning the coming presidential election, and has never reflected a sincere desire to ameli orate the effect of measures adopted for protecting the country in time of war. The Republican policy has been rather to exaggerate the effect of these mea wrea.. . .-,: e president declined to discuss can dates for the Democratic Dresidentlal nomination, ----; .-- .-'"- -- " - : "l have the greatest faith. he said.

WAKTS PROGRESSIVE 2TESS ! "I hope and believe that the platform to be adopted at San Francisco will be more progressive and clearer in un derstanding that that enunciated by the Republicans at Chicago. The character ef ;the men who will sit as delegates In the Ban Francisco convention should be sufficient guarantee that the issues upon which the campaign is to be fought will -be met with definite and concrete statements and not cloudy and ambig uous terms as was the case In the Chi- capo convention. I have not raised mv hand or vnlrn to aid n the promotion of any ambition for the Democratic presidential nomina tion, and I shall not do so. I think the leaders of the party and the delegates who will sit in the San Francisco con vention will earnestly try to provide a platform and candidates that will at tract greater sirpport than ; those put forward by the Chicago convention. - i am also confident that the Demo. era tic leaders and delegates will hold the fullest appreciation of 4 their obli gations to the party and to the people. It is unthinkable that 'any Democrat should for an instant be Influenced bv te selfish and sinister motives that lie back of the Republican plan to stultify and discredit the United States in the eyes of the world. ITOT TO BE LED ASTRA V I do not believe that they will nermlt themselves to be led astray in order to gratiry tne vanity or Dromote the uncharitable or selfish Impulses of any Individual. ? "The Republican convention was the apotheosis of reaction. It was the di rect antithesis f what I hope the Dem ocratic convention will turn out to be. The leaders who call themselves pro- greive and who pretend to dDeak for tne progressive element, in the Repub lican party sacrificed every nrlncmle that made attractive the movement of eight years ago In order to gratify the an.Diuon oi some er tne present-day leaders to prevent the people of the united States from fulfillinar their honest obligations to the rest of the world and to themselves. The abandonment at Chi cago of the progressive spirit was woe fully tragic. I hope and believe that the tragedy at Chicago will pro Ida ths Democratio convention with an object lesson 1r this direction that will not be overlooked.". ;.- .

The senator stated It was his most sincere desire to be the instrumentality for bringinir the divergent elements of the party together ; tnat tne views or both the conservative and progressive wings of the party would be fully represented In the ad ministration : that he represented no po litical group, but that he considered it was his first duty as leader of the party to consolidate all elements to a united front. He will, of course, issue no state ment until after the Democratic conven tion and then only after consultation with all sides. ' My ODinions on various Issues are well enough known, and as to the party situation I cannot make It more clear than does a letter which sent to- friends in different parts of the country two days ago." ,?. . In the letter Hoover says that not withstanding his disappointment at "some of the tendencies" of the Chicago convention he is convinced that the constructive ability to meet the needs of reorganizing the government and solving the - economic problems '-. which confront the. country, lies with the Re publican party and he urges the people to support the Republican ticket at the polls. - ,i COMPROMISE INEVITABLE. " Pointing that compromise was Inevi table the letter says: Compromises In the platform and the candidate are proof that we have not arrived at an era of new-political and social tendencies and for this same rea son the same divergent groups and the same attitude ' of compromise will be found in the Democratic convention.. -. ''If the Republican party is not to be irrevocably split I cannot conceive that Senator Harding will for one ; moment submit the administrative side of the government to the domination of any group or coterie. - i "I believe, that those of us who look upon party organization not from the point of view of partisanship but solely from the point of view of its usefulness as an agency of maximum service to the country should support the Republican party at tne polls." ; .is? dlated such a possibility. Republicans were ready to comment on it. Demo crats were not. e OFPOKENTS ARE CHALLENGES The gage to the president's Democratic opponents, his supporters said, was con tained in the utterance that he "was as confident today as I was When I re turned from Paris finally In July last that the people of not only America, but of the entire world, are in favor of the League of Nations." and also when he declared the American people want a referendum on the league Issue, "above anything else a political party now may provide. - 4 : . .. In his official family these utterances were Interpreted as meaning that Wil son believes the Republicans cannot es cape the league issue and that the Demo cratic party will have failed the country it it noes not take a positive stand for the league. G. O. P. PRUSSIANIZED When Wilson declared the processes 'by which the Chicago platform was oc Complished seemed to have been essen tially ''Prussian in inspiration and method," and later refused to comment on the Republican candidates, ' he out lined the Democratic campaign,- accord ing to administration views. - This course is an attack on the' Re publican platform with the incidental statement that the nominees fit the plat form..' There was also rejoicing among Democrats that Wilson had refrained from Indicating a choice for any Demo cratic presidential aspirant. Secretary Daniels today was the first cabinet officer to follow the president's Interview with a statement of the same trend. , , , - "I think the senate's failure to ratify the treaty Is the tragedy of the century." Daniels said. "The unrest throughout the world Is chiefly due t6 that failure. The American people, by an overwhelm ing majority, showed that they wished the treaty ratified." s Representative Mondell, Republican leader of -the house, declared the presi dent's Interview indicated he was think ing of a third term.

G.0.P.EYES WITH LUKQYARMNESS - (Ooatimwd Frew .Pace One.) driven to a more liberal candidate else where. ' ' ,; : '. ALL HAVE ONE AIM But the most interesting thinr about the Harding candidacy Is that however much It is disliked, the moment one men tions .th possibility of supporting the Democratic ticket there is a shudder -of disdain among the Republicans, which shows that partisan feeling Is rather acute Hereabouts, Many already are committed to Hard Im without even knovlnr wtinin th Democrats will select at San Francisco and what the platform will be. There Is an expectation that the Democratic plat form will be much more liberal than that framed by the Republicans, ; but the. re action against the Wilson administra tion has, unfortunately for the Democrats, precluded In many cases even the nos- siDitity er weigntng tne respective candi dates and their platforms impartially. There IS mostly an impatience to have a change, and the thought of perpetuate tng the Wilson administration is suffici ent to turn lukewarm Republicans to Harding. - MEREDITH SUGGESTED Inside the Democratic camp, particu larly among the progressive . elements, the Republican platform and candidate are viewed as a reactionary combination that cannot prevail. Minnesota Demo crats will go to San Francisco with mill tant step and - enthusiastic expectations of outdoing their Republican rivals. Yet the delegation from Minnesota wilt, under the unite rule,-be voted for a conserva tive like Attomey General : Palmer. Brother Bryan Is Immensely .popular in these: parts, ' - particularly with the farmers, a circumstance that has made more than one Democrat ask whether Edward T.

A ticket like Cox of Ohio and Meredith of Iowa would not be unacceptable to many Democrats, though McAdoo is much bet ter known and Is supposed to have ac cumulated : more elements- of political strength particularly with labor than any other candidate. The fact that McAdoo is tne son-tn- law of President Wilson Is again and again listed as an obstacle to his candi dacy, though the cry of a Wilson "dyn asty" is not so much based upon the family relationship of McAdoo, and. Wil son as upon the apprehension .that Wil- HARDING )?- - w w & Kw York Styles America T 'ft. wii .f " m f. ' J"S I4 R I III . .

In deed, it Is, the fundamental reason for the growth of the Cox boom. COX 8 LIGHTLY DAMP The Ohio governor has not been, a part of the Wilson administration, even though he must naturally say he ap proves of the Wilson administration in order tp catch the support of the Wilson rouowers. uovernor cox naa not oruy carried Ohio during the period when Harding was active in Ohio politic but he is a trifle moist on the prohibition question. This should win him the sup port of such wet delegations t as xsew York and New Jersey, and he should absorb the Western strength of Governor Edwards, as In Michigan and Nebraska. But Kdward Mereditn is a dry ana so is McAdoo. S ' : V . ' - The only chance for Governor Cox to be on a ticket with Meredith and earn the approval of Bryan is po say the prohlbiuon amendment is now tne law of the land and that it Is not the busi ness of the future chief executive but the cone-ress to declare how much al cohol can be used In light wines and beer. . M'ADOO STILL LEADS That is the attitude of Vice President Marshall, who. . by the way. has many friends In this section of the country. Far from considering him in the light vein that he was discussed two and three years ago, the " speeches made by the vice president In the last year have won him many admirers, particularly among the conservatives. If this be a year of conservatism, the opponents of Harding may be Marshall of Indiana or John W. Davis of West Virginia, at - present American Ambassador to Great Britain. But the Northwest is not expecting ultra conservatism from the Democratic party this year. It is expecting a liberal, almost socialistic platform for the Demo crats, and there would 'be surprise in deed ' if McAdoo isn't tne nominee. I J.
