Bryan placed what he termed the blame for democratic defeat about equally between President Wilson and Governor Cox, in a statement made here this evening. The president, he said, 'laid the foundations for the disaster and the governor com pleted the structure " "The American people want the gov ernment to play Its part in the abolition of war but they are indifferent as to whether we are part of a league or part 01 an association ot nations," the state ment said. "The real issue presented by the democratic, party was not whether we should cooperate with otner nations in terested in peace, but whether we should assume a moral obligation which had no weight except as it suspended the right of congress to act independently. The nation will do its part in aiding to pre vent war but It will not aurrender the keeping of any foreign group the, right to determine when we shall declare war. Governor Cox, Instead of repairing the injury done by the president, aggravated the situation by the manner in which he avoided domestic issues and misrepresent ed the position of the republican party on me league issue, which he declared to be paramount" of nations as established by the Wilson covenant. The Temps says: "The election may 'be considered as a referendum on the entrance of the United States into the league of nations, the result of which is a personal defeat for President Wilson. Mr. Harding is opposed to the Wilson ian conception of the league, but is favor able to constituting an association of na tions." ' . La Libert e says: "American common- sense has condemned Utopia in all Its forms. From an international point of .view the American election day was. a had day for socialism and the society of nations, the consequences of which will -be felt throughout the world.'
