Seven Great Facts
'llHICH show that (excepting the
' pre-German .and anti-British
vote which was. neither Republican'
ler all-American) the great mass of
the Republican votes for Harding
i were cast in expectation of eihcr an
amended League or an association
f nations te prevent war.
''FACT ONE. The Republican
wtars themselves for nearly two
years had urged that we enter the
League of Nations, either without
reiervatien, with mild reservations,
or with the Ledgc-McCumber com
promise reservations which the Re
publican Senate majority supported
and which almost the entire party
came finally te support and urge. Is
there any geed reason te believe
that what the great majority of Re
publican voters urged for two years
they opposed en the day of the elec
tion? Then there were' six 'million
totes for Cox, all for the League of
Nations. Loek for Fact Twe a week
from today. Cut this out and keep
tl)e seven facts together. And don't
fill te read "The Great Deception"
