He has proven himself fearless, progressive, progres-sive, undaunted and humane in the presence of every condition that has confronted him and to be one of the greatest statesmen the world ever has known. "We regard the treaty of peace and covenant for the creation of a league of nations negotiated hy President Wilson being as favorable and nearly perfect as it was humanely possible to procure at the Versailles conference. "We therefore, favor the immediate ratification and adoption of the treaty of peace and the league of nations, without reservations that will in effect nullify the treaty or covenant for the league." James H. Moyle, chairman of the convention, in his introductory speech scored the Republican party as a whole for, what he termed its "do-nothing" "do-nothing" policy. He also was scathing in his remarks re-marks to the assemblage on the senior United States senator from Utah, Senator Sen-ator Reed Smoot, Republican. "Tools of Wall street and Boss Penrose," Pen-rose," said Moyle, "rejoice at the selection se-lection of Harding as the candidate of the party for the presidency because Harding will prove the pliant tool of the old guard machine and of Penrose. "The Republicans have only one interestthe in-terestthe interest of Wall street nnd now the Republican party has obtained ob-tained the "Tin Can" candidate, the candidate of money, the tried, true and devoted servant of the old guard.'.' |
