Show Perpetuating Autocracy. The deliverance at Dayton was both an address of acceptance and avowal of allegiance. Indeed, candor compels the confession that it was little else acceptance of the Democratic party's nomination for president and allegiance allegi-ance to the Democratic president's system of one-man government at Washington for the nation and super-government super-government at Geneva for all nations. If he is authorized by the November elections to ascend "the throne of administration" ad-ministration" at Washington next March, Mr. Wilson's candidate for the succession promises as president that he will "keep us out of peace" union and until lie can compel bis treaty-mnkii treaty-mnkii partner, the senate, to ratify unconditionally the Wilson treaty as it was submitted. He will accept only such "interpretations" in the form of addenda as he, in the exercise of an autocratic power alien to the Constitution, Consti-tution, may decree do not disturb "the vital principle" of the unrevised, unchanged un-changed tin-Americanized and uu-purged uu-purged treaty. |
