solo power to declare war to draw I upon our blood and treasure and to organize and maintain our army and navy and aDd to make laws governing I our domestic and foreign conduct and I tho the question now raised by tho the Issue of at the league of ot nations is whether I the constitution of ot the United States shall shaH still sun stand as tho the supreme law of ot America or whether heth r wo shall shan surrender surrender surrender sur sur- I render render- to the tho body designated in the tho league of ot nations the powers power to declare declare de de- clare claro our wars to draw on our I blood and treasure and to prescribe our course of ot action Fellow delegates delegates dele dele- gates the issue Is drawn and we wo must choose between n the constitution constitution I tion of ot the United States of ot America and the covenant co of ot the league of ot nations So far as wo we have already formed I engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect faith ralth Hero Here let us

surrender any of or the powers of ot our government o to any foreign foreign for tor- eign oligarchy or any oligarchy Equally Equall obnoxious to Republicans antI and amito to all alJ genuine Americans is such arrogation arrogation ar- ar rogation of or the powers of ot our government government government govern govern- ment by a self appointed autocracy as America has been subjected to during the thc la t four years cars Woodrow Wilson Nilson has shocked tho the sensibility of Americans beyond esti- esti mato mate In wholesale assumption of authority au- au In relation to both

cabinet officers ministers and all others down to the least postmaster I as agents and representatives of ot the president Wo We look upon them as representatives and agents of ot the people We rc

Republicans Re Re- publicans be bo held for tor adminIstration administration administration admin admin- by Its nominees who are elected Wo see In this Democratic conception and one man assumption of ot government a dan danger er from within not less than the danger from tram without without with with- out which lurks In me the proposed league of ot nations Mr Cox Is frankly for tor the personal government and Mr Harding for tor the party or people government gov gOY Here again the two parties ar arty are on their natural sides of ot what to some of ot us is In Importance a twin Issue with
