James M. Cox, Ohio. ' 'President i
Wilson's message marks a distinct
epoch In civilization It is far seeing ;
and statesmanlike and not in conflict j
with Washington's idea of entangling;
alliances, for the reason that condi
tions arc changed."
Governor E L. Philipp, republican,!
Wisconsin ''Por the purpose of renew
ing the discussion of peace terms in j
Europe and again opening the doors !
for negotiations between belligerent j
nations, President Wilson 's address is 1
both timely and well worded. As a I
plan for the future his suggestions are j
impossible. As long as men are selfish;
governments will be selfish also, and'
so long as selfishness influences the
course of nations, war will be unavoid
able, particularly upon the European
continent. Our own country will do
better to avoid any responsibility foi
European entanglements. We can be
aribtrators and make our influence
1 felt without- entering into a compact
with tic countries ot Europe to crush
any nation that may wish to engage
in war with any other."
Governor Capper, Kansas, republican.
" I endorse the. president's effort for
