his position on the league of nations,

help me God I am going to do it
I thoroughly realize the responsibil
ity which rests upon me and I pro
pose to use my best judgment that
God has given me without fear or
favor.
"The so-called covenant for the
league of nations which the execu

hideous monstrosity. I shall not
vote 'for it till hell freezes over, and
I think that event is probahly some
