The negotiations . are ' already on be

and the Non-partisan - leaguers. Th
leaguers, It Is understood, are asking
a place on the ticket for their governor

With the leaguers will come the labor
party, which has grown to such propor

already working politically under a co

cratic national convention at San Fran

. sion of that body. But I have every con
' fidence that the delegates who will sit In
that convention will repeat (he challenge

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. ' -

enacted to safeguard the Interests of the
country In the war would automatically

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

believe that my course calls for an apol

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

"in the intelligent appreciation by the
aeiegaies who will assemble at San
Francisco two weeks hence to write the
platform . and nominate the standard
bearers of our party. They will have
before them the Republican nlatform.
and will, have estimated the effect of It
on tne people generally. They wUl have
from whom to select candidates for the
presidential and vice presidential nom
inations a number of excellent men. I
should not want to express any prefer
ence or opinion regarding either individ

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.". ;.- .

dependent and Progressive Republicans
upon various questions. 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

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

same attitude ' of compromise will be

''If the Republican party is not to be
irrevocably split I cannot conceive that
Senator Harding will for one ; moment

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

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. Meredith, secretary of agri
culture, -business man and farmer a

wouldn't be a good man to head the
ticket, .o,'-. - , .;::

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 policies would be McAdoo policies
and that to all Intents and purposes the
vote will be for a third term of Wilson,
There is too much disaffection among
Democrats to Ignore this sentiment. 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.
