ROOSEVELT MAKE LEAGUEBIG ISSUE Follows Cox's Lead in Accept ing Vice Presidential Nomination "OLD HOME" ATMOSPHERE - By the Associated Press Hyde Park, N. Y., Aug. 0. Frank lin D Roosevelt, in a formal address accepting ' the Democratic vice presi dential nomination at his home here today, joined with his chief. James M. Cox.- in accepting the challenge of the Republicans to make the League of Na tions one of the principal issues of the untionol campaign. "The Democratic party." lie said, "has offered to tills nation a trenty of peace, which, to moke it a real treaty for a real peace, must include a League of Nations. "Today," lie continued, "we aro of fered a seat at the table of the family of nations to the end that the smaller peopies may be truly safe to work out their own destiny. We slinll take that place. I say so because I have faith faitli that this nation has no selfish destiny, faith that our people arc look ing into the years beyond for better things, and that they are not afraid to do their part. "Evpii ns this nation entered the war for an ideal, so It lias emerged from the war with the determination that the ideal shall not die. "It is idle to pretend thnt the war declaration of April 0, 1017, wns a mere net of self-defense or that tho object of our participation was solely to defeat the military power of the central nations of Europe. We knew then as n nation, even ns we know today, that niipppss on land and sen could be but half a victory. To the cry of the French at Verdun, 'They shnll not poss,' and tiir e-.eer of our own men in the Argouue, 'We shall go through,' we must add this positive declaration of our own wills that the world shall be saved from the repetition of this crime.

It is not anti-national; it is anti war." The peace resolution adopted by Con gress was unworkable and an insult to and denial of our national purpose, suid Mr. Roosevelt, who also declared that the slacker in peace wns a greater men ace than the slacker in war. Fortifying his plea for treatv ratifi cation, the nominee said : "Some people have been saving of late: 'We aro tired of progress, we want to go bock to where (. wore before, to go about our own business, to restore norinul conditions.

Most of the Democratic leaders who came here for the notification of Governor Cox went home unhappy. The men who nomi nated Cox think the worst load. Cox has to carry is Wilson, nnd Pox has taken up the AVilsou burden. He is for President Wilson's league with in terpretations. Ho thinks Interpreta tions are necessary. The Presiden. thought they were not necessary, but agreed to accept them. That is the only difference between the two men. The out-and-out Wilson men in the party are pleased. Nohodv pIso is. Some of the governor's friends sav he could nave clone nothing else but take the league issue ns Wilson hnnded it to ir.m. utners say he could and should hnve taken nn independent position on the league which would either have eliminated it as an issue, or. at least, have strengthened tho party before the country. Party Leaders Ignored The governor seems not to hnvo con sulted with tho nurtv lender !, brought nbout his nomination nt San Francisco. Notional Chairman White's mistake at Washington in declaring the league wns not to be the issue and tho prompt repudiation of his state ment here nro recalled as iudieatiug how little the governor has souulit mlri or taken his own political friends into couusel regarding the league in writing his speech of nccentanee. in tne opinipn of many of his friends the governor missed a nolitirnl nnnnr. tunity in not declaring himself rendv to go so far as to accept the Lodge res ervations for the purpose of getting the league started. Ho might, they assert, nave expressed a preference for purelv interpretative reservations, but said of himself as he said of the Democratic senators who voted for the Lodge res ervations that under pressure of po litical necessity it was justifiable to ac cept Uiem iu order to set the league promptly in motion. It is pointed out that the governor has left the way open for himself still to do this in subsequent speecheo, but those who know him best do not expect mm io uu it. i ney iiiuiK ne will cling to the rt'M-rvuiKins ne suggested Himself ii his speech ami attemnt to rc-cilnrnto the country to desire the league. Idge Reservations Well Known The political advantage of accepting the Lodge reservations, even grudging ly , ns the best compromise likely to be obtained, would hnve been erroneous, some of the governor's friends believe. In the first place, the Lodge reserva tions hnve been- told to the pountry. People had made up their minds that the best practical way out of the dis pute was to agree upon these reservn tlous.
