But txcan worU peace DHWmredT ' The president brought back tfrom Paris a League of -Nations plan -a ath 'a cove nant that embodied the : txist that fee could secure and when v consider the newness of the plan. th number ot -nstidne agreeing to It and the dtversl f fled Interests at the ;. eon Terence, the wonder W the to waa as nttarry perfect ' as It wast ' ". - " " ' i . ft. RmMfeiteane- Im me Stately at- r tacked it and magnified what they re garded as Its dangers. If the matter 'cauld have been considered; merely as ,m International quetlon -without par UsaiMhlp - being Injected Into It, ; the president and the senate wawld have had Htttt difficulty In reaching an agree ment sat to rewrvationa. -Partisanship Is as paralyzing to calm.' thinking as r aloobol and the person affected is as uncoaaclous ot bets" affected. LIKE 3tun PARTISANS It is one of the curious character istics of partial intoxication that the man ttmter its Influence is quite sure he is at his best. If he is shooting at targets he congratulates himself on his accuracy even if his ballets endanger bystanders. -. '' ' So with partisanship the more par tisan a man Is the more sure he feels that he la actuated by a patriotic pur pose, almost holy In Its disinterested ness. Both Democrats and Republicans were convinced that their opponents would agree "with them but for their partisanship and the president was most unconscious of any partisan interest in the result. . .' - ' New we-are entering; upon a campaign and the leaders of each party feel sure that they can win a partisan advantage by dragging; the issue down into a par tisan struggle and they congratulate themselves that they are doing it for a great, unselfish and patriotic purpose. rt'S a great .national good that they are - bent on - achieving and it is merely a coincidence that in the opinion of both sides this can only be secured through a party victory. SHAH BAJTTXE STAGED Thss deluded they are staging a sham - battle over a eham issue, knowfng while they do so that neither Bide can posl - tlvely secure -two thirds of the senate " at . the coming- election '. and knowing therefore that there must be a compro mise at the end of the campaign if any agreement is to be reached. Just as the exhilarated toper deceives nobody but " himself so these- unconsciously partisan leaders are fooling themselves only. A large majority of the American peo pie are more interested in getting this treaty ratified tad the League of Na tions established and out of the way than they are in the phraseology of reservations, and it is to this nusf that our party ought to appeal. The partisans In both parties will vote th j ticket anyhow, no matter what the party says or does not sayr but we never have had as many voters In the doubtful column , as we . have today. They do not care what part relief cornea if it only come quickly. ' Just as the allies would rather have as come Into the league with any reser vations -whatever than stay owt. so 'he average voter will regard time as the material factor and support the party that gives -premise of immediate relief. It is to this large element that ourJ party ought to appeal and it Is this element that X had in mind In urging a course different from any that has thus far been proposed. . I venture to put on paper for tlw first time an outline of a plan which, in my Judgment, - will make the Democratic party victorious in this campaign because, and only be cause, . It puts the country above the party and includes the civilized world In Its calculations. ' . - , " BBTA!f OCTU5B8 PLAIT The Democratic - party demands an amendment 'to the federal constitution providing for ratification of treaties by m majority Voter so that it will be as easy to end a war as it is to declare war. Planting ourselves upon the most fundamental principle of . popular gov ernment, namely, the' right of the peo ple to rale a doctrine in suppqrt of which we have recently spent over $25.- 000.OOQ.eOO and for which we have sacri ficed 100,000 precious lives we favor an immediate reconvening of the senate that this principle may be . applied to the treaty controversy and ratification secured with such reservations aa a ma jority of the senators may agree upon. reserving for the future tne marine oi such changes as we may deem- neces- j sary. -, ; - '1 u.: I k We favor appointments by the prsl- j dent, with the consent of the senate, of , delegates to represent this nation in the i league until regularly chosen delegates ; are elected and qualified. : We favor the selection of the na-: tion's delegates In the League ft Nationa , by popular vote in . , dis tricts In order that the people may speak through representatives of their own choice to the august tribunal which will consider the -welfare of the world. -i These delegates should' be instruct 1 not to vote for war without specific in structions from congress or from the MAnlA vm h, ,f Afndtim VOte. :: t Our nation's delegates should also be inrfnuMit n tniRt noon the disarma ment of the world in order that the bur den cf militarism may be lifted 2rom the shoulders of those who toil and; the foundation of an enduring, peace laid in friendship and cooperation. BENEFITS SUMMARIZED The benefits of this plan . may be summarized as folldv&: , The Democratic party plants itself upon an easily understood i and easily defended principle of government. It has the votes to"compel ratification immediately-upon ascertaining the wishes of the majority of the senate: it can by casting votes or withholding ,otes convert a majority into the two thirds majority required by the constitution. i It cannot only end the deadlock, but it offers a plan that will make : future . treaty deadlocks impossible and thus save tbe nation from the disgrace that this two thirds . provision has brought upon it. - : r . i We alone of all the great nations have found It impossible to get out of war a fact that impairs the value of our ex ample in the countries that are striving to establish reoubilce. : The plan presents a method of elect- hsjswil 1 1 1 THE JEDWARD - r h o l m a n; COMPANY HAS ALWAYS I MAI N .TAINED THE SAME HI GH STANDARD OF E F F.I C I E N T SERVICE IN EVERY .

G: Ins delegates that will insure to the peo-; pie the right to choose their representa- tives in this great -tribunal which offers to the world Its only hope of peace. By compelling the delegates to await authority : from congress, , or from the American people direct, , before giving this nation's sanction to war we solve practically all the objections that have been made to the covenant and yet do so in a manner entirely consistent with our national rights and the. genius of our institutions. , - When we Instruct our delegates to de mand universal . disarmament we turn away ' from the false theories of - the past from the precedents that have written human history In characters of blood and Hasten the coming of the day when the song of the angels on earth peace, good will toward men shall be come an international antnem. . i ne world " is weary . of war ; . enough ' tears have been shed within the last five years to wash away all the sine of the world : enough blood has been poured out upon the earth to , fertilize in every land the- soil from which will spring' the hopes of a new civilization. Our allies Owe us nearly 10 billion dollars, which it will take them, gener ations to pay ana tney cannot pay u without exacUng fromthe vanquished a toll that will preclude the re-establishment of friendship. We can afford to use any part of v this indebtedness that may be necessary to secure such a re adjustment of the terms of the treati es may be required to bring' friends and foes into accord, bo that the world may turn over a new, tear at once ana the world's commerce be revived. - Such a plan would compel the Repub licans to accept or reject the proposi tion offered. If they accepted It would remoVe the issue . from politics, permit the .consideration ot pressing domestic problems, quicken the worW'i progress. toward peace and win the undying- grati tude of those who cry out against the cruel program- of the militarists .who would build a' peace on terrorism. If the Republicans rejected the plan they would forfeit the support of a large part of their party the part that fol lows conscience and is not f untrue to the vision of better things. Such a plan cannot be considered a re jection of anything the president stands for ; on the contrary. It ia a vindication Of the greatest purpose he has pro claimed, namely, to rnaae ; tne "worm safe for democracy, and It opens a way by which he may during the remainder of his term become a moral leader of the world. - , Speculators Corner Convention Seats San - Francisco, June -29. Tickets to the visitors galleries af the convention are being eagerly sought and as high as S200 has been offered for some. Nevertheless, the galleries' Monday were only about two-thirds filled.
