MonroeDoctrine
By Carl Smith
Washington, Oct. 9. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OK THE JOUR
NAL.) 'There were Lodge and
Hardin, bitter-enders, president
haters and reservatlonlsta inhe
time of Monroe, aa well aa In fB
time ef Wilson. There were bitter
debates in congress over the now
revered Monroe doctrine, which was
assailed as a departure from the
policies of Washington and an ac
ceptance of English diplomacy. '.
The Monroe doctrine debate of 1828
bears all the marks of the League of Nat
tlons debate of lilt and 1920, with prac
tically ' the same , arguments invoked
against the declaration of Monroe that
are now advanced against the league.
The greatest eruption of oratory then
was in the house of representatives and
the critics of the Monroe doctrine did
most of the talking.
" : W. C. Rives Of Virginia was one of
the leading reservationists. He wanted
a specific declaration by congress that
the United States Isinot pledged to main
tain by force the principle that no part
of the American continent la hencefor
ward subject to colonisation by any
European power.
HAW SI BE RESULTS
"Let us not commit ourselves upon it
by anticipation," he exclaimed,, Vbut
continue as we now are, free to take our
course, whenever the question may
rise, with a full regard to all those con
siderations which ought to Influence
' our determination."
Mr. Rives also cautioned against the
policy of exerting American influence
In sympathy for new republics that
were gaining freedom and preached the
present day doctrine of taking cars of
ourselves, saying: . . ,
"Sir. If other nations are destined to
lose their liberties, let us acquit our
telves of the high trust which Providence
has devolved upon us and endeavor to
preserve our own."
MORAL OBLIGATIONS THE
Louis McLane of Delaware, afterward
secretary of state, In the style of Lodge
discuased "moral" and "legal" obliga
tion and termed It "vapor" if only a
moral obligation. '
"It: will not. do to treat it as a pledge
Iron, ourselves ' t ourselves,' Ate as de
signed to : throw the moral . weight . of
he opinion of this nation into-she eawss
A these Governments." said McLane. i
Is ft simply a vaporing, or does it
.onUtn substance?
i 'This is either the holding out of a
threat with the hope that the threat
Oulfl be sufficient." he proceeded, "or
it . mfcans that we intend to execute the
threat when the time for executing- it
hH arrive. Is this what is meant? If
it is not, the threat; should not be made,
or if made, should not be recognised.
Jan we tell these powers that we meant
only! to take a moral attitude?".
like League opponents
Other speakers pointed out that the
Monroe doctrine had been merely stated
by the president and was not of binding
fore. Mr. Claiborne, In an argument
against It, spoke' In much the same lan
guage now used by opponents of the
league. He was afraid of foreign en
.anglements and the guaranty of political
integrity,, Tor at that early date he had
discovered Article X. He said :
"It (the Monroe doctrine) contains
sentiment that have never received the
sanction of this government. To the de
fense of our soil this whole nation Is
devoted. 1 trust we will never pledge
ourselves beforehand to take part in
the disputes which may arise between
the South American governments and
European governments on the subject of
colonization. It is manly and generous
to declare that while we will defend all
Within our limits to the last extremity,
we will not pledge ourselves beforehand
to guarantee the entlreness of any other
nation.' ,
ASSAILED J, Q. ADAMS
At the time of this debate John
Qulnry Adams had 'succeeded Monroe in
the presidency. He had been secretary
of state and had much to do with pro
mulgating the Monroe doctrine. He, like
Wilson, .was. assailed as an autocrat, and
accused of ignoring the senate. James
Hamilton said the president had "treated
the senate with neither Justice nojc- can
dor." and that "party efforts were co
ercively employed by the administration

COX IS TRIG TO
T
Ex-President and Wickersham
Published Interpretations of
League Long Ago.
Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 9. Gov
ernor Cox took another dig at Wil
liam Howard Taft here tonight in
his apparent effort to drive the
former president o.ut of" the Repub
lican camp on the League of Nations
issue. Mr. Taft and former Attor
ney General Wickersham, who "pub
lished their own lucid interpreta
tions of the league covenant before
the subject had become a football
of politics," the Democratic candi
date charged, "for the sake of party
victory have sacrificed principles to
their partisanship in associating
themselves with the, reactionary can
didate. .
Governor. Cox declared that ha-stou
not send American troops ' Into Mexico
to enhance the value' of oil properties
there.
"As president. I am not icoing to turn
the blood of American soldiers into the
coin of the realm for the purpose of aid
ing a lot of oil exploiters." he said, as
his audience broke into a big cheer. "
The governor's statement was made
In reply to a heckler who asked "How
about Mexico?" '
The governor sharply attacked Sena
tor Lodge's "round robin" against the
peace treaty.
"No senator who signed that paper
should be returned to office," he said,
adding that Senator Warren was one of
the signers.
TEDDY J. 5EEDS GUIDANCE
Governor Cox sarcastically character
ized Theodore Roosevelt Jr. as a "mis
guided iuvenlle statesman," and declared
his recent statements that the council of
the League of Nations can declare war
for the United States and order Ameri
can troops abroad are "utterly absurd."
"Some great friends of the great
Roosevelt, if they are on speaking terms
with the reactionary crowd now in con
trol of the Republican party, should set
this boy right concerning the funda
mentals of the league," the governor
said.
Article X dors not give the league
council power to declare war for the
United States, he declared emphatically.
SHOULD BE TOLD
"Young Roosevelt should be told that
a learned committee of the American Bar
association reported in specific language
that under Article X the power to de
clare war is not delegated to the league,"
the nominee said.
Cox's attack on Roosevelt was caused
by publication of a telegram which the
latter had sent to Judge Humphries of
Kentucky.
Cox said :
"fuch eminent students of law as ex
President Taft and former Attorney
General Wickersham who, for the sak
of party victory have sacrificed princi
ples for partisanship' by associating
themselves with the reactionary candi
date, should instruct Mr. Roosevelt Jr..
in the A. B. C's league by reading to
him their own lucid interpretations of
the covenant published before the sub
ject was made a political football."

victorious players. Cleveland is now on
even terms with Brooklyn in the series.
Each club has won two games.
STANLEY MAY DO IT
It is Coveleskie's second triumph.
Coveleskie may win the entire series
for Cleveland. It is not impossible. A
man, behind us is even now recalling how
Stanley Coveleskie's brother Harry once
beat the New York Giants out of a pen

Philadelphia.
These Poles are powerful men. Cove

as strongly as he starts. He i a mighty
pitcher.
A whole rank of Robinson's great
pitching staff falls this afternoon before
the rush of the Cleveland men. Leon
Cadore, Al Mamaux, Rube Marquard and
the Giant Pfeffer pass one after the
other.
Robinson is back ot Grimes, his great
spltballer, and Sherrod Smith, the left
hander. This series begins all, over again

CROWD LINGERS IK FIELD
The crowd lingers In the ball field.
Little groups stand inspecting the home
plate and the pitching mound just va
cated by Coveleskie's big feet. The
empty bleacher and grandstand seats
are littered with paper.
The descending sun leaves long
shadows over the yard. It is a warm
evening. It has been a warm day. It

and proceeds to the business of world's

The hotel lobbies are Jammed all

about seeking tickets. 'Citizens of Akron,
Youngstown, Cincinnati and many other
Ohio towns are present.
Your Uncle Wilbert Robinson and the
Brooklyn players get an early breakfast
at the Winton. Young Uncle Wilbert Is
at a table with his wife and Rube Mar

man.
This is Bill PIpp. fathef of Walter
Pipp, first baseman of the Yankees. He
comes from Michigan for .this series.
The Yankees swear Bill is a jinx. They
can never win a ball game when he is
around.
Colonel Huston, one of the owrrers of
the Yankees, sees Bill and groans. Your
Uncle Wilbert looks perturbed.
BILL MAKES PROMISE
"I'll go home tonight if you lose,"
promises Bill as he shakes hands with
Robinson. Bill knows the baseball feel
ing about him.
Cleveland streets are crowded. Motor
cars shoot past the corners in a man
ner that scares even the Brooklyn fans
accustomed to dodging trolley cars.
Cleveland drivers take rank with the
motor Mahouts of Chicago and San
Francisco.
We go to the ball yard in a big bus
like the "Seeing Chinatown" cars. It Is
a bus which operates between Cleveland
and Akron and the driver comes from
Akron. He doesn't know much about
Cleveland, but he can turn a mean cor

through pleasant streets lined with
houses.

Salem, Oct. 9. A, mother and
three children were given back their
husband and father Saturday when
Governor Olcott granted a full par
don to T. E. Herold of Jerome,
Idaho. Herold was recently brought
back to serve out the balance of a
term of one to five years for lar
ceny.
He escaped prison seven months after
Incarceration in 1911 and made good
under the name of George Morris in
Jerome, where he was married. When
he wag arrested last September his wife
followed him to Oregon and pleaded for
leniency without avail.
PETITION IS FILED
She brought a petition signed by prac
tically every resident of Jerome.
She had prepared to go to work and
had arranged to have her children cared
for In Salem homes while awaiting her
husband's release at the end of his
term.
Saturday' afternoon Mrs. Herold had
gone out to the prison to tell the hus
band of her plans for the future of his
family. Herold had just entered the
warden's office and was holding the
oldest of the three little tots In what
be believed to be a parting embrace,
at least until his term should have ex
pired. At this juncture Don Upjohn, private
secretary to Governor Olcott, handed to
Mrs. Herold the governor's pardon with
a suggestion that she read it.
Apparently unabft to grasp the signifi
cance of the paper she, after glancing
it over, had folded it up" when it was
suggested that perhaps Herold might be
interested in its contents.
MAN GIVEN LIBERTY
One glance sufficed to explain to him
that the liberty of which he had des
paired had been granted to him, and.
unable to speak because of the emotion
that choked his voice, he let the tears
that welled in his eyes express his
thanks.
The Herolds will return to Jerome
Monday with $7S raised by fellow con
victs to aid Mrs. Herold. Herold refused
to accept the money as a gift but finally
agreed to take it as a loan.

Promoter Picked Him for Office
ix Years Ago, Boosting Him
Into United States Senate First
How Astute and Practical Politi
cian Drove Obscure Editor Into
Limelight Against Latter's Will.
By Louis Selbold
(Published bj Permission of New York World.)
New York, Oct. 9. "DAl'C IIER-
TVS CANDIDATE" is the way most
of the Ohio politicians describe War
ren O. Harding, candidate of that
party for president of the United
States. There is ample justification
for it, or rather many reasons.
DAFGHERTY (Henry M. or Harry to
his familiars) Is credited with exercising
more influence over the Republican can-
didste for the highest office In the Amer
ican government than any other single
man engaged in the undertaking to elect
him. Ohio politicians are convinced that
he does, and national leaders are begin
ning to believe it. The Daugherty brand
confronts them- at every angle from
which they view the candidate.
PUT HIM IX FOB 8EXATE
DAfGHERTT projected Mr. Harding
into the race for the senate six years
ago. He personally picked him before
the hitherto obscure Marion editor en
tertained an amfeitlon to wear the toga
of a senator. Daucherty rroomed his
candidate for future use . through many
unprofitable years. When he decided
that Mr. Harding should go to. the senate
he round the latter prostrate on the
beach at a Florida resort, soaking In
the warm leisure.
VArGHEKTT aroused the Ohio jour
nalist from comforting lethargy, and told
him he was going to run for the senate.
A generally accredited Ohio tale is that
Daugherty boasted he had been com
pelled to "push" the Marion editor into
the senatorial waters and then fight to
keep him there. At any rte, Mr. Hard
ing permitted himself to be "pushed'
into the senatorial waters, as it were.
and later on Into a seat In the senate. ;
DACOHCRYT directed the senatorial
destinies of his senator with such seal
that more thkrra'yar ago he figured out
that there was a chance to "put htm
over" on the Republican national eon
vention as presidential candidate. With
discriminating acumen. Daugherty dis
covered a "soft spot" in the competition
for that honor provided by the number
of entrants and the demoralised condi
tlon of the party itself.
HIS ENTHUSIASM LAGGED
DATJGHEBTT does not appear to have
cared particularly for Mr. Harding when
the preliminary skirmishes disclosed the
fact that his man did not appeal to the
Republican leaders. There is a widely
told tale among the higher Republican
politicians that Daugherty was not
averse to setting Mr. Harding aside If
he could get a better man to "handle.
There is another that Mr. Harding him
self waa skeptical ; that he, in fact, told
Daugherty he did not believe that he
(Mr. Harding) was "big; enough for the
job," an estimate generally shared by
all of the potential president makers
questing for a man to "put over.
DATJGHEBTT, with the prescience
born of practical experience, finally fig
ured out last December that Harding, if
properly "handled," stood as good a
chance to land the presidential nomina
tion as any other man who engaged the
attention of other professional promoters
like himself.
DAUGHERTY went to work to hitch
the Harding mental machine to the
presidential stars. He succeed eel after
many interviews, much travail and
nerve-racking argument, according to a
friendly version of the transaction. He
did not believe Wood. Low den or John
son could win the nomination. "They
will eat each other up" was the way he
put it. Thereupon he entered the Marion
editor in the contest for the presidential
nomination.
ANJiOOKCED HIS DECISION
DAUGHERTY announced his decision
Jn characteristically cynical fashion In
the Waldorf-Astoria here on February
22 last His announcement took this
form :
"At the proper time after the Repub
lican national convention meets, some
IS men. bleary with the loss of sleep and
perspiring -profusely with the excessive
heat, will sit down In seclusion around
a big table. I will be with them and
will present the name of Senator Hard
ing to them, and before they get through
they will put him over."
DAUGHERTY not only proved him
self an amiable cynic but a true prophet.
The 15 men did sit down around the
big table in the manner forecast by him.
Furthermore, the same 15 men 16 to be
exact put Harding over.
GETS THE CREDIT HE, CLAIMED
DAUUHERTY no, ooty claimed credit
for the job, but even his most vigorous
critics of whom there are many for
various excellent reasons generofuily
awarded It to him. His victory waa the
more notable because Mr. Harding not
only failed to - win the 48 votes from
his own state for the nominating con
vention but Daugherty himself was de
feated for delegate-at-large. He was
the only one of the four Harding candi
dates for delegate-at-large who was not
elected, a circumstance which proves the
force of the old . adage that a prophet
Is without honor in his own country.
DAUGHERTY Insisted that he be sent.
Mr. Harding waa warned . that his de
mand that Daugherty be chosen Would
adversely affect his chances of winning
the support of his own state. However,
these prejudices against the prophet did
not affect the Intimate relations between
Daugherty and hia presidential candi
date. Daugherty wag hammered unmer
cifully by the old-time Progressive lead
era of the state, who have always held
him up as the arch apostle of reavction
tsm. DAUGHE&TY continued - to be the
Harding manager despite all of the poliU

Independent's Editor Announces
He Will Follow Parsons Out
of Republican Camp.
New York. Oct. 9. (U. P.) Ham
ilton Holt, editor of the Indepen
dent and vice chairman of the et
ecutlve committee of the League to
Enforce Peace, announced tonight he
will follow the example of Herbert
Parsons and vote for Cox and Roose
velt on the League of Nations Ursue.
Parsons' resignation as a member of
the New York Republican county com
mittee, and his determination to vote
for Cox on account of Senator Hard
ing's position on the league, were an
nounced yesterday. Holt, only a few
days ago. came out as a Republican.
THOUSANDS OP VOTES
AHE LOST TO 1IAHDLNG
Chicago. Oct. 9. Political comment In
Chicago today generally conceded that
Senator Warren O. Harding lost thous
ands of votes because of the speech he
made two days ago In Des Moines, Iowa,
when he came out for rejecting the
League of Nations entirely..
One Indication that he has weakened
his chances In certain sections was con
tained in a telegram from California
which told of a meeting of the. execu
tive committees of the Women's League
for the Peace Treaty. . .
"If these statements (quoted frorrf
Harding s Des Moines speech) are true
it makes support of you is 30,000 women
in California who stand for immediate
ratification of the league and treaty im
possible," Sad Xmas for

STAMPEDE
Republicans, Dismayed by Former
Chairman's Resignation, Fear v
Repetition of Split of 1912.
Disappointmnt Is' Felt Because
Harding Goes Over to Borah-
Johnson and Forsakes Lodge.
By David Lawrence
(Copyrighted, 1820, by The Journal),.
New York, Oct. 9. Republicans
and Democrats who have been pre-
dieting that 8enator Harding' would
win the election "unless something
happened in October," are wondering-
if the revolt started by Herbert
Parsons. influential Republican
leader here, against Harding, can.,
posaibly be that "something."
The Democrats In 1912 won by a divi
sion in the ranks of the Republican
party. They succeeded In 1(11 again
because they retained the support of the
progressive elements that had broken
away in 1912. The big question today
Is whether the Republican party will
divide definitely into pro -League of Na
tions and anti-League of Nations fac
tions. FRODCCES SESSATIOX J
