One might rake this country with a

ample of typical Republican than ex.
President Taft.
The ex-President has certain convic
tion on the leading questions of the day.
He believes we should enter the League
of Nations. 80 does the average Re.
publican. He sees nothing inimical to
our national sovereignty or our national
welfare «an the Covenant presented to
the Senate by the President, Neither
does the average Republican, If he
had been a member of the Senate he
would have voted for the ratification of
the treaty as presented. ' So would the
average Republican, :
Senator Harding professes to be
against the ratification of the treaty
which ex-President Taft believes in, and
in favor of a separate peace with Ger-
many, which is abhorent to the ex-Presi-
dent and to the average Republican,
The program enunciated by Governor
Cox in his speech of acceptance exactly
accords with Taft's frequently expressed
and honestly entertained views.
Therefore Mr. Taft will support Sena
tor Harding and oppose Governor Cox
“My country first |” is an obsolete slo-
gan, “My party first |” has supplanted
it,
Ex President Taft and the average
Republicans who think one way and 1n-
tend to vote another for the party's sake
are moral cowards, and posterity will be
ashamed of them,

PARTISAN MADNESS.
If party lines could by some miracle
be obliterated for a sincere expression of
the will of the American people on ode
of {the leading issues joined between
Senator Harding and Governor Cox, we
should like to see the results of the bal-
loting. y
Senator Harding proposes in the event
of his election, immediately to negotiate
a separate peace with Germany, follow-
ing the Russian example.
Governor Cox proposes to stand with
the nation by whose side we fought and
triumphed in the war against militarisgg,
autocracy and barbarism, and to secure
our entry into the existing League of
Nations for the prevention of a recur-
rence of the great tragedy.
Where do the American people stand
on this issue ?
How many of them want to lise up
with Germany, outside the pale of de-
cency and civilization and turn their
backs on the only workable project for
the perpetuation of peace that the world
has ever evolved,
Would Senator Harding have dared to
make such a proposal on November 12
1918, before the skillful machinations of
the Senatorial cabal Jed by Lodge,
Smoot and Penrose had borne fruit with
