Favors Harding
View of League
Senator MeCormick Quotes
British Premier and Other
Leader? as Anxious to
Scrap Wilson Covenant
Back Roosevelt Plan
Statement Declare* Country
- 'Tired of Administrative
; Anarchy in Riot of Waste'
From a Staff Correspondent
MARION, Ohio, Aug. 1.?Lloyd
Gteorge and other British statesmen
agree with Senator Warren G. Harding
that a fresh start must be made if
America is to adhere to a plan for a
concert among the nations, according
to' Senator Medill MeCormick, of Illi?
nois.
Senator MeCormick came here to
confer with the Republican Presidential
nominee about his duties as special as?
sistant to Will H. Hays, chairman of
the Republican National Committee.
Before his departure the Illinois Sena?
tor issued a statement dealing with
the League of Nations, in which he de?
clares that Europe is eager to havo,
instead of the Wilson covenant, an
instrument based upon the views ex?
pressed by Theodore Roosevelt a short
time before he died.
The British Prime Minister has said,
according to Senator MeCormick, that
the covenant must bo revised, and re?
vised for the better. The Republican
party views, as interpreted here, is
that to ratify with reservations with?
out extending the protection or benefits
of such reservations to all the parties
t<7 the covenant would be illogical, and
that the easiest way to accomplish this
is to start over again, as suggested by
Senator Harding in his speech of ac?
ceptance.
Senator MeCormick blames the pres?
ent coal crisis on the Wilson adminis?
tration and says the country is tired
of "administration anarchy in a riot
of was;?..." His statement foilows:
''Ser.ator Harding docs not propose
to permit the Democratic candidate or
the Democratic managers to evade the
issue of the League of Nations or to
escape the grand and solemn referen- j
d?m which Dr. Wilson has sought.
"Democratic politicians are wroth at
Governor Cox's precipitate visit to the
White House and still more wroth at
his announced submission to the
President's dictum that our nation
shall assume all the awful obligations
of the league. It is amusing to con?
trast with Mr. White's outgivings and
with ;!i! contortions of the egregious
Mr. Mbrganthau, Lloyd George's anil
Lord Grey's bold admission that now
the whole covenant must be rewrit?
ten.
"They are not only eager to accept
r?servations which 'cut the heart out
of the covenant' but importune us
under a new administration to re?
write the whole instrument.
"In an official statement published
in the London papers just received
here the British Prime Minister says
that obviously the covenant must be
revised in order to secure American
adhes'on to any league, and that it
will be revised for the better. Think
of it' Por the better, despite Mr.
Wilson's insistence that our men must
agree to die to guarantee European
and Asiatic frontiers.
"Lord Grey proposes that a new
President irr consultation with the
Senate, shall he invited to rewrite the
entire pi;.'.', for a concert among the
nations and warns against again ac
c? pting as representative of the Ameri?
can people the personal views of a
party leader. It is the plain truth,
and we have known it for some time, !
that in France and England reponsible |
public men bitterly deplore the mis?
representation of Mr. Wilson and the
unhappy niisjudgment of the Presi?
dent's powers by Andr? Tardieu.
"The British Prime Minister and
Lord Grey have now said publicly what
we have known privately for some
months. Europe is ready, no, eager, to
accept instead of '.'ne covenant, an ?n
qt.ument of our dev-ising ...nil based
upon the views expressed by Theodore
Roosevelt a little time before he died.
""There was a time when Mr. Wilson
insisted on immediate ratification of
the treaty, lest we find no market for
our exports. But the last foreign trade
statement still shows a gigantic sur?
plus of exports over imports. The
world can buy here from us on credit
only, thus competing for capital in the
American money market with our do?
mestic enterprises.
"The reports which reach our head?
quarters in Chicago show Cox weaker
and Harding stronger week by week.
The country is tired of a government
which presents the picture of adminis?
trative anarchy in a riot of waste.
The management of the government is
palsied. It lacks energy and sincerity.
The coal crisi.-7, which the Adminis?
tration should have foreseen and
cheeked, is an instance. The country
must pay for this inefficiency. Thank
God, there are only seven months more
of it!"
Senator and Mrs. Harding spent a
quiet Sunday at White Oaks Farm, a
sanatorium on the outskirts of Marion
conducted by their friend, Dr. C. E.
Sawyer. Among their callers to-day
was Representative William E. Mason,
of Illinois.
Probate Judge William S. Spencer,
of Marion County, is working day and
night to enlist a delegation of Marion
ites to attend the Cox notification cere?
monies at Dayton next Saturday.
Democrats in every corner of the
country are being urged to make reser?
vations on a rpeeial train, so that the
Marion delegation at the Cox notifica?
tion may, if possible, equal in size the
Dayton delegation that attended the
?Harding notification. The Republicans
'sry there wero 1,200 in the Dayton
delegation.
William Howard Taft
Discusses
Voter's Duty on League
By William Howard Taft
Copyright, 19?0. by Public Ledger Co.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1. ?Answer?
ing a number of inquiries how a Re?
publican should vote who regards the
League of Nations as more important
than any domestic or personal issue
of this campaign, I find it easier to
abandon the usually impersonal tone
of an editorial column.
I was one of the small group who in
1915 began the movement in this coun?
try for the League of Nation? and the
participation of the United States
therein. I became president of the
League to Enforce Peace, which was
the form tho movement took. I was
active in spreading the propaganda
and urging that, as tho leading and
most powerful nation in tho world, it
was our duty to unite with other
nations to prevent war.
When Mr. Wilson brought to this
country the league covenant as re?
ported to the Paris conference 1
urged, on the. same platform I with
him, that we join the league. I there?
after recommended amendments, seme
of which were adopted into its lir.al
form. Had 1 been in the Senate I
would have voted for the league and
treaty as submitted; and I advo? ?ft?i
its ratification accordingly. 1 ?li?' not
think and do not now think that any?
thing in the league covenant as sent
to the Senate would violate the Con?
stitution of the United States or would
involve us in wars which it would not
be to the highest interest of the world
and this country to suppress by uni?
versal boycott and, if need be, by
military force.
Moral Effect Would Prevent War
I consider that the moral effect of
Article X on predatory nations would
restrain them from war as the decla?
ration of the Monroe. Doctrine has
done and that the requirement of the
unanimous consent by the i - 'iresenta
tives of the great powers in council
before league action would safeguard
the United States from any perversion
of the high purpose of ftie league.
Moreover I believe that the issue of
the league transcends in its impor?
tance any domestic issues and would
justify and require one who believes
so to ignore party ties e.V. I secure this
great boon for the wo: Id and this
country.
"Why, then," I am asked, "if these
are your convictions, do you not vote
for Governor Cox, who is pledged to
carry out a platform the declarations
of which accord with your views?" My
answer is that no such issue as the
ratification of the League of Nations as
submitted can possibly be settled in the
coming election. Only one-third of the
Senate is to be eie-ftt. d and but fifteen
Republican Senators out of forty-nine
can be changed. There remain in the
Senate, whatever the result of the elec?
tion, thirty-three Republicans who have
twice voted against the ratification of
the league without the Lodge reserva?
tions. Of the fifteen retiring Republi?
cans, many are certain of reelection
Thirty-three votes, will defeat the league
Mr. Wilson refused to accept ratifi?
cation with reservtion as to Arti?
cle X and defeated the league. Th?
Democratic platform and Mr. Cox in
sist th^jt the league is valueless withou
Article X and pledge continuance o
Mr. Wilson's policy. Willie I recog
r,ize the importance of that article,
believe it to be blindly foolish to sacri
lice the league for it. Without it tin
league will still. be the greatest stej
forward in recorded history toward ef
fecting permanent peace.
Urged Wilson to Accept
The League to Enforce Peace an?
many Democrats urged Mr. Wilson t
accept the reservations and enter th
league, but he refused. He has thu
deliberately forced this issue as to Ar
tide X into the election, although it i
mathematically demonstrable that th
only ratification he or Mr. Cox'seek i
impossible. Mr. Cox's proposed reset
vations are merely declaratory of wha
the most extreme supporters of th
league admit to be its necessary cor
struction. Of course, Mr. Wilson ha
no objection to these. They do nc
change or qualify Article X at all.
Why, then, should I vote for Mr. Co
when he is pledged to that to which
am utterly opposed? What different
does it make that as an abstract que:
tion 1 favor the same form of leagv
which he does when in fact he propos?
to prevent the only form of leagt
which can possibly be ratified and oi
of inestimable value to the world?
But it is urged upon me that
view of the Republican platform ai
Mr. Harding's speech of acceptai
there Is no chance that Republic!
success will bring the league with tl
Lodge reservations. I do not conce
deep disappointment that Mr. Hardii
by his preliminary declarations sin
the. convention and by his acceptait
speech has indicated his purpose

secure in twice voting for the leag
with reservations in another way; fir

Glaring peace, and, second, by a n?
proposal for a vaguely described ast
ciation of nations.
Deems Course Unwise
I deem this course unwise, poli
cally inexpedient and impractical)
It discourages an important elemc
of the Republican party strongly

given the seal of a moral issue to t
Republican campaign. It will leave
luctant in the Democratic column ma
independent voters who would oth
wise have left their party. Mr. Hi
ding's proposals are likely to prove i
piacticable because of the doubtful
titude of Germany and that of i
present members of the league t
also because of the opposition

tied, when the responsibility for ac?
tion becomes imperative, when the new
administration faces a probable dead?
lock, which has been Mr. Wilson's un?
doing, the Republican President will
conelud, to recur to that course which
he took in his two votes in the Senate.
Suppose I am wronc in this, how
docs it change the case? If Mr. Har?
ding has given us, who desire the
league with or without reservations,
no real ground Air hope, Mr. Cox has
promised the impossible. With such
hopelessness ns to the league, why
should any Republican break his party
affiliations and vote for' the Demo?
cratic candidate on an abstraction?
Wilson Lost His Chances
But some will say that Governor Cox
will come to the Lodge reservations.
Howcould I vote for him on the theory
that he will violate his pledge to Wil?
son, to the Democratic convention and
to the country? Why should I leave
the Republican party to follow an
hypothesis of that sort?
If one's vote is to be a vote of con?
fidence "or a want of it for the past, the
case is no better for a Republican's
voting the Democratic ticket. Mr. Wil?
son had two opportunities to lead this
nation into the league. In his obdurate
"rule or ruin" policy he refused to
make reasonable concessions to the Sen?
ate, a coordinate branch of the govern?
ment, in performing a joint consti?
tutional function and destroyed the
league.
But for him and his action we would i
now have been functioning in the
league for six months and helping the
world in its dire need. By the deadlock
he has caused untold loss to the world
in doubt and delay. More than this,
the deadlock has tired the American
people of the league issue. They were
disposed generally to accept the league,
but Mr. Wilson's course has dulled
their interest. He has forced upon his
party and an impatient people a refer?
endum which will carry no decision.
Prefers Harding to Cox
I am, by conviction and by lifelong
association, a Republican. I know much
of both candidates, and greatly prefer
Senator Harding to Governor Cox for
the Presidency. I believe that it is of
high importance that the narrowly and
personally partisan administration of
President Wilson should be succeeded
by that of. a Republican who will not
maintain the autocratic side which per?
sonal bent, party discipline and tho
war power have imposed upon the
country.
J believe that the Republican party
is much more to be trusted in dealing
with the labor question, the railroad
question and the other real issues of
the campaign than its opponent. Eight
years of complete and arbitrary con?
trol, half of it during a war and its
aftermath, with all its abuses, call for
a change, examination and revision.
With these views, why should I de?
sert my party on a false issue, pro?
jected into the campaign by Mr. Wil?
son, which the election cannot settle?
Why should I desert that party for not
promising to do the things which Mr.
Wilson twice deliberately prevented
and which Mr. Cox is pledged to pre?
vent in the future?

made public yesterday a letter from
?Senator Warren G. Harding, Repub?

starvation in the Ukraine. Senator
Harding offered to do all ho could to
help this cause.
The Ukrainian Relief Committee was
appointed by the National Citizens'

New Hampshire Man's Ref?

Tumulty Sends Opponent
Pledge of Most Ardent
Administration Support
By Carter Field
' WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.?Democratic
plana to overturn tho slight Repub?
lican majority in the Senate are com?
plicated, it was learned here to-night,
by the desire on the part of the Demo?
cratic managers to punish Senator
George II. Moses, of Now Hampshire.
Senntor Moses, it will be recalled,
wrote a letter to a constituent in New
Hampshire early during the President's
illness diagnosing the'-Chicf executive's
ailment as "brain lesion."
It developed some time later, during
the memorable Conference on Mexico
between the President and Senators
Hitchcock and Pall, that the President
had heard about tlie incident and re
membered it. After telling Senator
Fall that doubtless it would be a great!
disappointment to "Dr." Moses to j
find his diagnosis wrong, the President
asked Senator Fall to convey a message
to the New Hampshire Senator.
After the President's ailment had
been pronounced "thrombosis" over the
signature of Dr. Hugh 11. Young, of the
Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the ex?
perts called in, most laymen seemed to j
think that "Dr." Moses had been as?
tonishingly accurate in his informa?
tion, but among the close followers of i
the White House there, is still keen re?
sentment
r?an of Reprisal Revived
It now develops that there is to be
an especial drive against Senator Moses
by the Democratic managers. Nothing
was said early after the nomination of
Cox, but now that the new national
chirman, George White, has left most
of tho old crowd of workers on the
job in the national committee head?
quarters, there is taking up of the old
plans.
Senator Moses apparently increased
the Administration hostility by his ac?
tivities as Southern manager for Gen?
eral Leonard Wood during the prc
eonvention light. His statements issued
frequently during that fight "bit in"
under the skin of the strong Adminis?
tration men just a little more than did
those of any manager for any of the
other candidates, and Senator Moses's
name during that period was seldom
mentioned in ardent White House
circles without heat.
The President's secretary, Joseph P.
Tumulty, who has had influence, at
Democratic National Committee head?
quarters out of all proportion to his
veal importance in the party, due to
the inaccessibility of the President him?
self, is especially bitter against the
New Hampshire Senator, and it is said
to be his influence which largely has
determined the heavy drive against Mr.
Moses.
Aid Pledged to Spaulding
Tumulty is said to have sent a man
j to see Huntley N. Spaulding, who came
I out in the primaries against Moses be
? fore he announced himself and again
I since he entered the race, promising
i him all the Democratic support pos?
sible.
The Democratic managers justify
| this by saying that Spaulding, al?
though a Republican, is pro-Wilson and
is strong for the League of Nations,
whereas Senator Moses, on the Foreign
Relations Committee, fought the Wil?
son league from the beginning of the
fight right down to the final ballot. As
1 a matter of fact, Mr. Moses shared with
Hiram Johnson the unusual honor of
being put on the tremendously im?
portant Foreign Relations Committee,
which handled the treaty, in their very
first session of Congress. Usually a

Senator has to wait until hi? second

cus to designate them for this honor.
* Senator Moses's knowledge of inter?
national affairs, ?ained whilo Minister
?to Greece and Montenegro during a
period when diplomacy was strained by
the Balkan warn, weighed heavily with
tho Republican leaders in giving him
this distinction, although probably his
pronounced attitude on the League of
Nations also was given serious consid?
eration.
See Chance to Carry State
The Democratic managers also point
out to the incoming Cox adherents, who
bear Moses no grudge because he irri?
tated th-- President, and who care very
little about attitudes of Senators on
the League of Nations, that New
Hampshire is a small state, and here
is a good opportunity to gain a Demo?
cratic Senator.
Another New England Senatorshlp
about Which the Democrats are hopeful
is in Connecticut, where Senator Bran
dogeo is having a battle for reelection.
They hope to gain seats also in Ohio?
?Harding s seat?in North Dakota, where
Senator Gronna has been defeated for
renomination by a Nonpartisan League
man; in Washington, where Wesley
Jones is being opposed for renomina?
tion by a Nonpartisan Leaguer; in
New York, where they hope the suffra?
gists will defeat Senator Wadsworth;
in Wisconsin, where La Follette's can?
didate, Thompson, is expected to defeat
Senator Lenroot for renomination; in
Indiana, where Tom Taggart is oppos?
ing Senator James E. Watson; in Utah,
where Reed Smoot's term expires; in
Missouri, where Senator Spencer is. up
for reelection, and in Illinois, to fill
Senator Sherman's seat.
This makes a string of eleven seats
they hope, to capture. Should they win
them all, without losing any, they
would have a majority of just twenty,
in the upper house, as they now have I
forty-seven Senators, and would total
fifty-eight with all these victories.
The probability of their winning
them all, or any considerable part of
them, is slight, however, while they j
are in danger of losing seats in Mary- i
land, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, I
Idaho, California, Arizona and Colo-?
rado.
Farmers Watch Candidates
Told to Reject Those Unfriend?
ly to Agriculture
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.?Farmers of
the country were advised to scrutinize
carefully the public records of all po- ?
litical candidates and to reject those i
unfriendly to agriculture in a state?
ment issued here to-day by Charles S. !
Barrett, chairman of the National !
| Board of Farm Organizations and presi
dent of tho National Farmers' Union.
"For the first time in the history of
! agriculture great political party con?
ventions have given it a distinct and
unmistakable place in their platforms,"
Mr. Barrett said. "It is one thing for
a political party to pledge itself to the
performance of certain well defined j
tasks; it is quite another thing to show
itself to have the abiiity or capacity to !
translate its promises into statutory j
law." '
Tammany to
Bar Lansing
For Senator
(Continued from tifi one)
himself. There appears to be little
doubt that Lieutenant Governor Harry
0. Walker, of Binghamton, also will
be designated to succeed himself.
Several delegates to-duy advanced
Walker as the best man to draft for'
?Senator. Charles F. Murphy, leader
of Tammany Hall, was approached on
the subject by these delegates, but
what he told them is not known. Un?
less there is a change in the plans of
the leaders. Walker will be chosen
to run for Lieutenant Governor. The
help he gave up-state two years ago
by being on the ticket with Governor
Smith in remembered.
In discussing men for the ticket,
the delegates make it a point to say
that there will be no designations,
only a preference shown by the coun?
ties as they answer to the roll.
To emphasize the Wadsworth issue
the Democrats are considering putting
a woman on the ticket for the office of
Secretary of Stute. Several women are
mentioned, but none has been decided
upon. Chief among the names heard
to-night are those of Miss Harriet May
Mills, of Syracuse, and Miss Elisabeth
Marbtiry, of New York.
Another appeal which the Democrats
plan to make this time to win the Ital?
ian vote, which is 150,000 strong in this
state, will be to citizens of Italian ex?
traction who have been driven from the
party by President Wilson's attitude!
on the Fiume and Adriatic ??uestions.
Cotillo Is Considered
With this in view they are consider?
ing placing Senator ?S. A. Cotillo, of i
New York, somewhere on the ticket,
probably for State Treasurer or Attor- j
ncy General.
Cotillo, who has appeared before the i
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
and the platform committees of the j
two national conventions, urging the
claims of the Irredentists, is here as
a delegate and said that he was more
interested in the state platform ex?
pressing sympathy with the claims of
Italy than he was in his own political
future.
But the upstate leaders are anxious
that the nomination for Attorney Gen?
eral go upstate and are putting forth
Thomas Rogers, of Corning, and Su?
preme Court Justice P. J. Laing, of
Buffalo, for the place.
The delegates from the Bronx are
urging that the nomination for At?
torney General be given either to
Assemblyman W. S. Evans or Assembly?
man J. Fairfax McLaughlin, the two
members of the lower house who led
the fight against the ousting of the five
Socialist Assemblymen on the day
Speaker ?Sweet sprang his ouster reso?
lution on a surprised Assembly.
It is practically agreed that Dwight
B. Ladu, an ex-3oldier, will be un
opposed for State Engineer and Sur?
veyor. Two years ago, while he was in
France with the A. E. F., the Democrats
nominated him for this post.
Brooklyn has two contenders for the
nomination for Comptroller?Julian D.
Fnlrchild and Congressman John John?
son. Johnson ran against District At?
torney Harry E. Lewis last year for
the office of County Prosecutor.
Court of Appeals Contest
It is almost the unanimous opinion
of tho delegates here that tho two
vacancies for the Court of Appeals
this fall will be contested on the Demo?
cratic side? by Supremo Court Justice
Kdgar S. K. Merrell, of Lewis County,
and Abrnm ?, Elkus, who is now sitting
on the Court of Appeals bench by des?
ignation of the Governor.
Governor Smith is taking a personal
interest in the drafting of the platform,
two of his closest advisers having
been named at conferences to-day to
whip the document into shape. They
are James L". Parsons, of Steuben
County, counsel to the Governor, and
Joseph K. Kellogg, of Glens Falls, for?
merly counsel to Governor Smith and
now a member of tho upstate Public
Service Commission.
Governor Smith Arrives
Governor Smith arrived here by
automobile from Albany. In an inter?
view with The Tribune correspondent
he Bftid the Democratic platform would
unqualifiedly declare for a retention of
the direct primary law.
"And I don't believe that there will
be any designations," said the Gov?
ernor. "The convention will do as it
did I wo years ago?express a prefer?
ence Tor candidates by counties." .
The platform will call for the
development and sale by the state of
all water power owned by the state, a
! declaration in favor of the Governor's
i reconstruction program and an execu?
tive budget.
The platform will deal largely with
state issues,-recounting what the Gov?
ernor with the aid of a Democratic
minority has sought to do in the last
two years in an attempt to fulfill the
pledges made two years ago, and will
ask the voters because of this to have
faith in the promises included in the
document which will be adopted hei-?
this week. ?
The platform will indorse the a?,
tional platform.
Some here want the platform to ex
j press sympathy with the Sinn Fein
; m/ivcment, which the national platform
I makers declined to do.
