"The supreme issue of the century
is before us, and the nation that halts

finest impulses of humanity, rising
above national - lines, merely - seek to
make amrtheriiorrible war impossible.

Governor Cox has met the issue of
the campaign and he has "met it bold
ly and directly. He is for the League
of Nations, not a . league of nations
that has no existence except in the
minds of partisan politicians not
mythical or intangible association or
societv of nations which is without
. - -
'form and void. He is for therLeaffUe,
of Nations that is already- established.
World, New York, Ind. Dem.
"I favor going in,' is the plain,
blunt, direct answer which Governor
Cox's speech of acceptance brings to
the question as to his attitude toward
the League of Nations. It is a satis
factory answer and it helps to .shape
the leading issue of the Presidential
campaign. It is plain common
sense to say that the voters who want
the existing League of Nations must
vote for Governor Cox and that voters
who do not want it or want nothing
their grandfathers did not have, must
vote for Senator Harding Republi

As between a candidate who would
have us assume among the nations a
mans part in manly fashion and one
vho would have us either stay out of
the League or crawl into the League,
we can see no . choice. The issus is
now joined. Evening Post, New York,

The Governor's is a sane American
view of the Peace Treaty and League

Americanism on the subject. Indian

There is no evasion,' no playing with
words of double interpretation no
beating about the bush on any issue

litical utterances. On both these ques

leaves no doubt of where he stands or
his readiness to meet the Republicans
on these issues. Enquirer, Cincinnati,

until November 2. He stated that he
believed in fighting. 1. ie speaker

cated a good Democrat, advocated the

to the personal property exemption of

the dead bury the dead' and called the
attention of ; his hearers to the days
of Republican rule 'in North Carolina
when the negroes were' given power,
and the days of "Lily-White'. Repub
licans and Marion Butler. The speak
er offered a glad hand to che Demo
