The rode C'ahal
In the midst of war the present sen

Penrose and Sraoot, was formed. Su-'
perficial evidence of loyalty to the
president was deliberate in order that
the great rank and file of their party,
faithful and patriotic to the very core,
might not be offended. But Under-j

spirators planned and plotted, with

authority was rejected. Before
the country knew, yea, before these
men themselves knew the details of
the composite plan, formed at the
peace table, they declared their op
position to it. Before the treaty was
submitted to the senate in the man

any ' deduction possible, it passed
through the convention with practical
unanimity. Senator Johnson, how
ever, whose position has 'been consist
ent and whose opposition to the league
in any shape is well known, withheld
his support of the convention's choice
until the candidate had stated the
meaning of the platform, and an
nounced definitely the policy that
would, 'be his, if elected.
The Republican candidate has spok

following approval from Senator John

took his stand upon the paramount
issue in this campaign the Lea
gue of Xations. The Republican
party stands committeed by Us plat

accentuated that platform. There can
be no misunderstanding his words."
Harding and Johnson
, Senator Harding, as the' candidate
of the party, and Senator Johnson are
as one on this question, and, as the
latter expresses it, the Republican j
party is committeed both by platform
in the abstract and by its candidate in

si deration of decency by presenting a
copy of the document, procured un
biuehingly from enemy hands, and
passed it Into the printed record of
senatorial preceedings. From that
hour dated the enterprise of throw
Ing the whole subject Into a technical
discussion, in order that the public
might be confused. The plan has
never changed in its objective, but the
method has. At the outset there was
the careful insistence that there was
no desire -to interfere with, the prin
ciple envolved and formalized at Ver
sailles. Later, it was the form and
not the substance that professedly in
spired attack. Bat pretense was futile
when proposals latej- came forth that
clearly emasculated the basic princi
ple of the whole peace plan, it is not
necessary to recall the details- of the
controversy In the senate. Senator:
Lodge finally crystaltzed his ideas Into
what were known as the lodge reser-i
at tons, and when rongrmi adjourned I
these reservations held the support of
the so-called regular Republican lead
era.

From that time the process have
Wen Interesting. Political expediency
in its truest sense dwarfed every con
si derail on either of the public in tore t
among leaders of the party is'averted
but the minority position as expressed
in the senate prevails as that of the
party. In short, principle, as avowed
in support of the Lodge reservations,
or of the so-called mild reservations,
has been surrendered to expediency.
Senator - Harding makes this new
pledge of policy in behalf of his party:
This plan would not only be a piece
of bungling diplomacy, but plain, un
adulterated dishonesty, as well.
4Kvcrlnstlng Iishonorw
No less an authoity than Senator
Lodge said, before the heat of recent
controversy, that to make peace except
in company Vk:th the Allies woujd
"brand us everlastingly with dishonor
and bring ruin to us.
And then after peace is, made with
Germany, Senator Harding would, he
says, "hopefully approach, the nations
of Europe and of the earth, propoe
in that understanding which makes
us a willing participant in the con
secration of nations to a new relation
ship." J
In short, America, refusing to enter
the League of Nations (now already
established by twenty-nine nations?
and bearing and deserving the con
tempt of the world, would submit an
entirely new project. This act would
either be regarded as arrant madness
or attempted international bosslsm.
The plain truth is, that the Repub
lican leaders, obsessed with a deter
mination to win the presidential elec
tion. have attempted to satisfy too
many divergent views. Inconsisten
cies, Inevitable under the circumstan
ces, rise to haunt them on every hand,
and they find themselves arrayed in
public thought at least, against a great
prinicpal. More than that, their con
duct is opposed to the idealism upon
which their party prospered In Other
days.
Illustrating these observations by
concrete facts, let be remembered thai
"I promise you formal and effective i those now inveighing against an in-
1i iw document clear in Its ana'vsis of ! or of the maintenance of the honor of

Republican executive to sign."
No fr' nrute Pea
This means but one thing a sepa
rate peace with Oermany!
This would be the most dishearten
ing event In civilization since the Rus
sians made their separate peace with
Germany, and infinitely more' un
worthy on our part than it was on that

what flag he followed, recognized him

criticised President Wilson in un
measured terms for not resenting the
invasion of Belgium in 1014. They
term the league of Nations a military
alliance, which, except for their oppo
sition, would envelop our country,
when, as a matter of truth, the snb-
ioct of a League of Nations has claim
ed the best thought of America for
years, and the League to Enforce
Peace was presided over by so distin
guished a Republican at I'Jx-I'resident

Skentir viewed Monroe s manowiw

Messiah among" thti nations of tho
earth.

Any nation prepared under these con- ,
