DWTON. Q., Aug 7 Peace for
America and the world by this na- H
tlon s entrance into the league of na- H
tlons with ' interpretations" not dls- H
turbing its vital principle was pro- I
nounced toduy b Governor Jamcj M. I
Cox, the Democratic presidential
standard bearer, as his paramount
policy. H
In his address here accepting the I
Democratic nomination. Governor Cox H
mllltantly championed tho league as I
proposed by President Wilson, with In- H
terpretatlcns Insuring good faith ahd j
understanding, and denounced what !
ho termed tho dishonorable proposal I
from Senator Harding, his Rcsubll- j1
can opponent, for 'a separate peace
with Germany." H
League or no league, the Demo- H
cratlc nominee declared, Is the Issue H
between the two parties "the su- H
preme Issue of the century," he said. H
"The question is," Governor Cox de- H
dared, ' whether we shall or shall not H
Join in this practical and humane H
movement. President "Wilson entered H
the league In our name. Senator H
I Harding, as the Republican candidate
! for the presidency proposes In plain
I words that we remain out of It. As
the Democratic candidate I favor go- H
ing in.
' The first duty of the new admin- 'H
I nation will be ratification of the jH
treaty," Governor Cox said, predict- IH
Ing thai friends of the league would
r rail to elect a senate with the requl H
sits majority for ratification. H
Governor Cox aid the "interprets' I
I tlons" should state ' our Interpreta- 'H
I tlon of the covenant as a matter of 'H
i good faith to our associates and as a )H
I precaution against any mLsunder- iH
i standing in the future." Assailing the H
Lodge reservations as emasculating, H
Governor cox suggested two specific H
"interpretations," as outlined several H
months ago in a newspaper article. H
ine declared America's continuance H
in tlie league should depend upon the H
i league's use only as an agency for H
I world peace; the other stated the un- H
derstanding that this nation could act
only within the Constitution, declared fl
j unalterable bj any treaty. H
DOOR LEFT OPEN.
The door to other ' interpi etatlons"
was left open by Governor Cox. but
In said that the Democratic plutform
speaks In a firm resolution against
anything that disturbs the vital prln-
Clple ' of the league
Xo room for doubt was left as to
the governor's position on the league
as the pre-eminent political battle-
ground As on other subjects, he stat-
ed his position squarelj
We are In a time which calls for
straight thinking, straight talking and H
Straight acting." he said It Is no fl
lime for wobbling."
In position, the league question led
the candidate's address and to it he
devoted three thousand words of the
10,000-odd total. H
The prohibition amendment and
Volstead law were not specified in
the address, but Governor Cox prom-
laed emphatically, strict law enforce-
' ment.
mi st i:nt okci: laws.
' The Constitution." he said, "is the fl
lionse and limitation given to and
placed upon the law-making body. H
Tho legislative branch of government H
Is subjected to the rule of the ma-
Jority The public official who falls
to enforce the law Is an enemy both
to the Constitution arid to the Amerl- H
! can principle of majority rule. It fl
t would seem unnecessary for any can-
dldate for the presidency to say that
i he does not int. ml to violate his oath
I of office Anyone who Is false to
thai Oath la more unworthy than tin
law violator himself.
Morals cannot easily be produced H
i by statute," Governor Cox continued, AH
In passing to a plea against abuse of
I the writ of Injunction.
j Regarding woman suffrage, Gover
nor COS urged ratification of the
proposed Constitutional amendment,
declaring women "are entitled to the
privilege Of voting as a matter of
right, ami because they win be help
ful In maintaining wholesome and
patriotic policy."
FLAYS OPPOSITION.
His opposition candidate, plat
form, leaders and congressional rec
ord were flayed by Governor Cox In
loathing terma throughout his long
address A "senatorial obllgarchy
Isd h Senators Lodge, Penrose and
Bmoot Governor Cox charged, select
id Senator Harding to lead tho Re
publicans and fastened "Into the paitv
platform the creed of bitterness and
hale and vai lllatlng policy lhat pos
sesses It." The Republican stand,
generally, was scored by the gover
nor as reactionary and, on the league
question, he said the party's candi
date was bent to the Irreconclllable
hostility oT Senator Johnson pf Cali
fornia. The Republican congress, the
governor asserted, failed to pass a I
