Forum Plan
Is Advanced
By Johnson
New York, Oct. 21. Senctor
Hiram Johnson of California to
day made a statement of republi
can national headquarters here
which aid he would be "deligrred"
to see established an "international
forum" where, In the open, t'.iere
would be a full discussion of Inter
national problems which might
form public opinion and thus -end
to prevent war,
"I do not at present see how it
is possible to go beyond this," he
said.
"The issue of this campaign Is
the league of nations a specific
concrete contract, and not the ef
forts and endeavors of civilized
people to end wars," he continued.
"To some persons party regularity
transcends an important principle."
He added that if he were a can
didate for the presidency, he would
not appreciate eforts to interpret
his stand, as other than that his
back was turned on the league of
nations.
He predicted an overwhelming re
publican victory in California.
Harding Says
League Stand
Is Unchanged
Unalterable Opposi
tion to Covenant Still
Position of Ohio
Senator
Rochester, N. Y., Oct 21 Making
his frist speech of the campaign in
New York -state. Senator Harding
again challenged his democratic
opponents here today to show by
his public utterances where he has
changed is position on te Teag, or"
nations since he accepted the re
publican nomination.
Definite Platl Lacking.
Relating his stand, he declared
the nation "cannot take seriously
the democratic insistence that the
covenant shall be considered for
acceotance as it stands' and added
that for "such a Rejection" he had
stood unfailingly. He also asserted
that he had favored consistently
an international association in the
interest of peace, but could not un
der present conditions frame a defi
nite and specific plan.
"I am not that kind of a candi
date," he continued. "It is easy
enough for a candidate who is go
ing to lose to s.iy almost anything
about the league of nations or any
future plans for America.
Other Issues Cited.
"The democratic forces have
paramounted the solemn referen
dum of our foreign relations, and
weh ave gladly aeecpted, but that
does not blind us to the fact that it
is designed to divert attention from
the unhappy failure of domestic
administration. The great and sol
emn referendum will not make the
American people forget the tragic
mismanagement of their own af
fairs, because they have long since
passed judgment on our foreign re
lations. "Surely the American people can
not take seriously the democratic
insistence that the Paris covenant
shall still 'be considered, as plat
form and candidates insist, for ac
ceptance as it stands. Such a re
jection has ben twice recoraeu. 1
have repeatedly spoken such ie
jection from thed ay of accepting
my nomination with untuning con
sistency." Anderson Gets

Treaty by Misrepre
sentation of Clause is
Assertion
Wilmington, Del.. Oct. 21. A
special drive against el ites of arti
cle 10 of the league of nations and
against false criticism was made
here today by Governor Cox of
Ohio.
"Nation-wide propaganda of mis
representation" regarding article
10 has been circulated, the demo
cratic candidate asserted.
The term "advise" in article 10,
relative to the league councils pow
ers, was declared by Governor Cox
to be limited solely to advice.
Stressing the provision for unani
mous council action. Governor Cox
said :
"We should never in the haze of
wriggling statements and wobbling
pronouncements, lose sight of the
uncontrovertable fact that under
article 10 the council can render
only advice. And that even thi3
action cannot be taken unless and
until every representative, inajud.
ing our own, votes in the affirma
tive." One of the Hitchcock reserva
tions "voted down by the treaty
wreckers" declared that no Amer
ican sovereignty was relinquished,
he said
MENTION OP IiODGK
SETS CROIVD HISSING
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 21. An
enthusiastic' reception s-as given
here today to Governor Cox. His
league of nations preachments were
applauded warmly. Every nook
of the theatre where the governor
spoke was filled and hundreds of
persons struggled vainly to e-iter.
There were hisses and boos; from
the audience for Senator Lodge's
name when Governor Cox reiter
ated that the Massachusetts sena
tor "was the basest conspirator in
all. the history of humanity." More
his'ses and some groans were the
demonstrations against Senator
Harding when the governor named
his opponent as among the signers
of the "round robin." The incident
halted the governor's speech mo
mentarily. That Senator Harding should
give the American people the ntime
of the person alleged to have as-ked
him to lead the way to a new fra
ternity was asserted by Governor
Cox.
Probably the most prolonged ap
plause was given the governor's
statement of hisattitude toward the
Irish question.

Railwaymen Threaten To

Approval of
Republicans
Speaker at Rally
Quotes Taft, Hoover
and McNary as En
dorsing Pact
Asserting that the league of na-'
tions had been welcomed as a thor
oughly practical plan for world
peace and that its popularity was
universal until reactionary politi
cians burglarized the issue for par
tisan purposes. Elton Watkins.
recognized league advocate, elo
quently defended the league at the
Salem armory Wednesday night.
Point by point, Mr. Watkins dis
cus;;, d the great plan and held his
audience, by carefully analyzing
each issue and then clinching his
arguments with extracts from ad
dresses made by many G. O. P.
leaders in their supper t of thef
league. For every statement on the'
validity of the various articles, Mr;
Watkins brought forth the endorse
ment o such republican leaders as
William Howard Taft, George W.
Wlckersham and Herbert Hoover. 4
McNary Quoted.
"Senator Charles H. McNary, a
Salem man, has given his heartiest
endorsement for the league and In;
a senatorial address made la July,1
1919, defended the league against
such onslaughts as those made by
Senators Reed. Borah and Johnson.
I will read extracts from this ad
dress." The extracts read are as follows:
"I am stoutly In favor of tne
principal embodied in any effort lo
insure the permanent peace of the
world, and I am willing to accept
the covenant of the leasue of na
tions contained in the peace treaty
It is my sincere Deuet mat tne
league of -nations is the greatest
step the world has ever made to
ward peace; therefore I aha.ll sup
port the league, as it is the hope of
the world."
The speaker stated that much of
the opposition to the league was
voiced by those who had not care,
fully studied the plan. "Many have
not even read the document," he
declared. "This opopsitlon is usual
ly sincere but is arrived at by com
paring surface arguments for and
against the league and not by per
sonal investigation of its merits.
Article X Misquoted.
"Article X has been deliberately
misquoted by its opponents. This
article will not force us Into wai
should we become one of the signa H
lories, we could retire at any time
ir cause ror dissatisfaction arose.
iNor could we be forced into any
action, as any decision must be
unanimous. This means that it
would make no difference whether
Great Britain was represented by
six or sixty colonial emisarles. In
event of lack of unamity, any pro
posed action would be blocked."
Monroe Doctrine Safe.
While discussing article 10 Mr.
Watkins again referred to Sent-tor
McNary's stand on the plan. He
asserted that Herbert Hoover and
Ex-President Taft had also ex
pressed views similar to the fol
lowing quotation from the Oregon
enator's address as contained, in
the Congressonal Record, July
1919: "1 am one of those who con
tend that the Monroe doctrine is
already preserved in the covenant
but I will say that it will be harm
less to restate it; that It is already
there, but it might find its reward
in comforting some of the timid
minds that oppose the covenant."
In conclusion, Mr. Watkins s-at-ed
that he is willing to debate at
any time, upon the league and Its
issue.
"It is mighty hard to find oppo
nents," asserted the league advo
cate. "I have issued this challenge
manv times but have discovered
that when petty partisanship is
sues are discarded, the opposition
sues
, fades Into thin air.
