JOHN BURROUGHS COMES OUT FOR COX AND LEAGUE From Page One.) •" : N the sides and over the upper reaches of the mountains. Ths naturalist had risen early to look aftsr his traps. “I have never been what Is called a party man.” said the naturalist, ‘.‘but have always tried to vote with the party and for the man I considered the best fitted to have In charge the Government of the country. “Man(r people know me only as a naturalist and a writer, and I doubt that my opinions on public matters would have any great weight with them. “But I am intensely for the League of Nations and if a statement of my reasons can be of service in convincing others I am willing to give them. "It is unfortunate that the covenant of the league should not have been written in fewer words. It is too long foi the average person to read through patiently. In its essence It could have been stated in a few hundred words. A it is, the enemies of the league take advantage of the fact that It is not generally read through to misrepresent it to the people. There has been much dishonesty by those who must know better, in the way of misrepresenting the intent and purpose of the league. "Its intent, as I see it, if clear and simple. It is a means to stop the ever T%curring wars, the foolish destructive conflicts that are continually exhausting the world. The world can’t go on with these wars, if civilization is to survive, and the only way to stop them is through the league. “Then there is this insincere outcry •gainst the dominance of England in the league. Those'meu who have studied the covenant must know that there Is no danger in this direction, but they trade on the survival of that old suspicion and dislike of England which is a heritage of the revolution. "This feeling against England is not confined to her heriditary enemies; there are many of the native stock who still •hold it

"I believe tlje main objection to the league on the part of Republican leaders is tbat it is the handiwork and the dear aspiration of President Wilson. "What they call the President’s mental austerity and cold intellectuallism have made him disliked by politicians and they seek to hurt him through the destruction of the league. "They forget, or ignore, his splendid public service, particularly in the way he waged the war, and he is made the object of abuse as varied and bitter as was Lincoln. I can well remember how Lincoln was abused for I was the only man for him in a family of Copperheads. "And yet Wilson led the nation into the jrar superbly and it was fln.shed superbly. He roußed the country and fired the Idealism of the nation in a way that not Roosevelt himself could have surpassed. “The Republican party once was the party of progressiveness, of broad vision and great leadership, but It is no longer so. We must look into the Democratic party for those qualities In these days, for the positions of the two parties have been reversed. But I believe that the great issue of this campaign has set many party men to thinking earnestly and that millions of Republicans will vote for Cox.” FIRST IMPRESSION FAVORABLE ONE. Os Governor Cox’s personality, Mr. Burroughs said that some six or seven years ago, when he bad first met him, he was impressed by his vigor and forcefulness and had predicted for him a fu ture of larger field than as the chief ■executive of a State. I "I first met Cox about six or seven bears ago at Ft. Meyer, Florida, where I Iwas spending the winter. I "Governor Cox didn't know me, and I pknew only in a general way of his record. “I remarked to Edison, who was with me, that I believed he was a man who would be heard from In public life. Later my estimate of him was strengthened and as the time for the Democratic convention approached and talk of available candidates became livelier I believed the Democrats had in him a candidate ready to hand." In Governor Cox Mr. Burroughs sees certain points of resemblance to Roosevelt, particularly in the rigor and fearlessness of his public utterances, his 'dynamic qualities and his stralgbtout and

unequivocal statement of convictions. “He has more of the traits of Roosevelt than Senator Harding,” he said. “Os course, he has not been tried as was Roosevelt, and his public life and experience - have not been as long and as varied as Roosevelt’s, who was himself a walking day of judgment, and who touched life at more points than any public man in our generation. But Cox has force and vigor and a dynamic quality that we uke in our Presidents.” Senator Harding is not the stripe of men that Colonel Roosevelt would have chosen for the presidency, in Mr. Burrough’s opinion. “Senator Harding is a very ordinary man,” Mr. Burroughs said, speaking without rancor and" in the serene, placid manner that marks his speech habitually. “His public life, as shown by his record, reveals no great outstanding service, nor does he seem to be a man of any special attainments for the office of President. “His personal character doubtless is such as to endear him to those who know him, but his speeches and public career reveal him as a man of no great force and as one committed to policies of reactionism and standpattism.”

MILITARY AID CHARGE MET BY THE PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One.) count of a speech by Senator |pencer. Carlson then quotes the President's j speech in fullf i “ ‘At the Qual d'Orsay. Saturday, May 31, 1919; | “ ’Mr. President, I should be very J sorry to see this meeting adjourn with permanent impressions such as it is possible have been created by some of the remarks that our friends nave made. " ‘I should be very sorry to have the impression lodged in your minds that the great powers desire to assume or play any arbitrary role in these great matters, or assume, because of any pride of authority to exercise an undue in- : fluence in these matters and therefore I : want to call your attention to one as- ; pect of these questions which has not been.dwelt upon. “ ’We are trying to make a peaceful settlement, that Is to say, to eliminate those elements of disturbance, so far as possible which may interrere with the peace of the world, and we are trying to make an equitable distribution of territories according to tie race, the ethnographical character of the people inhabiting those territories. GUARANTEE TO MAINTAIN DECISIONS. “ ‘And back of that lies this fundamentally important fact that when the decisions are made the allied and associated powers guarantee to maintain them. “‘lt is perfectly evident upon a moment’s reflection that the chief burden of their maintenance will fall upon the greater powers. “ ‘The chief burden of the war fell upon the greater powers, and if It bad not been for their action, their military action, we would not be here to settle these queations. “ ’And. therefore, we must not close our eyes to the fact that in the last analysis the military and naval strength of the great powers will be the fiual guarantee of the peace of the world. “'ln those circumstances Is it unreasonable and unjust that not as dictators, but as friends the great powers should say to their associates : “We cannot afford to guarantee territorial settlements which we do not believe to be right, and we cannot agree to leave elements of disturbance which we believe will disturb the peace of the world?’ CONSIDERS RIGHTS OF MINORITIES. “ ’Nothing, I venture to say, is more likely to disturb the peace of the worid than the treatment which might In certain circumstances be meted out to minorities. “ ’And, therefore, if the great powers are to guarantee the peace of the world in any sense, is it unjusc that they should be satisfied that the proper and necessary guarantees have been given? “I Deg our friends from Roumanla and from Serbia to remember that while Roumanla and Serbia are ancient sovereignties the settlements of this conference afe greatly adding to their territories. “’You cannot in one part of our transactions treat Serbia alone and in all of the other part treat the kingdom of the Serbs, the Croats and the Slovenes ns a different entity, and if this conference is going to recognize these various parties as new sovereignties within definite territories, the guarantors are entlcled to be satisfied that the territorial settlements are of a character to be permanent and that the guarantees given are of a character to ensure the peace of the world. “ 'lt is not, therefore, the Interventions of those who would interfere, but the . action of those who would help. ‘“I beg that our friends will take tbat view of it, because I see no escape from that view of it.

“ ‘How can a power like the United States, for example—for I can speak for no other—after signing this treaty, if it contains elements which they do not believe permanent, go three thousand miles away across the sea and report to Us people that it has made a settlement of the peace of the world? “ ‘lt can not do so. “ ‘And yet there underlies all of these transactions on the part, for example, of Roumanla and of Czecho-Slovakia and of Serbia, that if any covenants of this settlement are not observed the United States will send her armies and her navies to see that they are observed. “ ‘ln those circumstances is it unreasonable that the United States should insist upon being satisfied that the settlements are correct? “ ‘Observe, Mr. Bratiano —and I speak of his suggestions with the utmost respect—suggest that we could not, so to say, invade the sovereignty of Roumania, an ancient sovereignty, and make certain prescriptions with regard to the rights of minorities. “ ‘But I beg him to obeerve that he is overlooking the fact that he is asking the sanction of the allied and associated powers for great additions of territories which come to Roumanla by the common victory of arms, and that, therefore, we are entitled to say: “If we- agree to these conditions of territories we have the right to insist upon certain guarantees or peace.' ” ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11.—“ There is no difference in substance between the report now made public by the President and the official stenographic report from which I quoted," declared Senator Seidon P. Spencer, Republican, in a statement issued here today after being shown the stenographic report given out at the ■White House of the eighth plenary session of the peace conference, where the President is alleged by Senator Spencer to have promised military and naval aid to Roumania and Serbia.

HOOVER NOT IN HARMONY WITH G. O. P. ON PACT (Continued From Page One.) good in the covenant for the development of the great principle to which it has pledged Itself practical Republican statesmanship must build upon tho foundations of the existing treaty, and Include In it the great step forward In international Justice now settled by Senator Root. “Men will not forget tbe 60,000,000 human beings who have died because of this war, nor the death roll which will stream from it for many years to come. "They will not forget the social revolutions that have followed from the collapse of government, the dangers that these revolutions have presented and continue to present to our civilization. “They know that every social student realized that another great war will further loosen social forces that would destroy our civilization and Us foundation In Individualism. ••UNITED STATE* CAJTT SIT IN ISOLATION. ‘They will not forget that It Is Impossible with our modern world cominunication and dependency on commerce to malntln the isolation of the United State*. “They know that ths march of dread- j ful inventions in the future will make | the next great war a war of soldier* against civilians even to a greater ex- | tent than the latter part of the last war. “They know that the world haa n larger offensive armament today than ! before the war, and that it la dally en dangered by tho Irresponsible men in i control of these forcea. “They will not forget that the world, ! including ourselves, la groaning today under taxes imposed by those arms- i meats and that International association , la the only way out. “Tbe issue of this principle of proper organized action of nations to prevent I war will not down. "It belongs to no party and no creed. “It will be the critical issue of for- I ward looking men in all nations nntll it j succeeds In finally overthrowing mill- j tarlsm as a basis of world relations." BRINGS CHAGRIN TO THE OLD GUARD The chagrin which this outspoken ' declaration brought to the Old Guard Re- ■ publicans who constituted the major part of the Columbia Club audience is shown by tbe remarks which could not help but he overheard in the lobby following the meeting. "Hoover's been over there in Europe so long that he Just can’t get away from the foreign way of looking at things, ’’ was one of tho typical statements. The speaker left not a single hole through which the reactionary opponents of tbe league covenant could crawl to

comfort when he pinned them down with this statement: • “The Republican party has indeed pledged itself against the unmodified covenant and those who support the •party are Indeed voting against some of the methods of the covenant in putting this great principle into action. “But this position of the party is as fur as daylight from dark from the attitude of those who wish no league or no association for those purposes. “If there be persons supporting the Republican party today on the belief or hope that this party is the avenue to destruction of this great principle, that the party will not with sincerity and statesmanship carry out their pledges to 1 ring it into effect, then they are counting on tbe Insincerity and the infidelity of the Republican party and its nominee for the presidency. HE’S CERTAIN IT WILL NOT FAIL. “I do not believe it would fail, or I would not be here at this moment. “If, by chance, it should fail, it will have made a deeper wound In the American people than the temporary delay in our adherence to a League of Nations. “It will have destroyed the confidence of our people in party government, it will have projected us into the dangerous path of party realignment. “Out of these paths grow radicalism, reaction and the domination of extremists in government.” This body blow at the ideas of the radical Republicans who oppose any association whatever with foreign powers to prevent war, brought forth comment from G. O. P. leaders such as this: “I wonder what HI Johnson will think of that?" Mr. Hoover’s plans for reconstruction legislation, which ore very close to the Ideas expressed by Governor Cox, bnt far, far In advance of anything Senator Harding has suggested, according to neutral thinkers, did not bring their full measure of Joy to the Republican camp for that very reason. There was fear expressed that the very large body of independent voters which has believed from the start of the • campaign that Hoover was the greatest man within the Republican party, will recall the manner In which he was “sat upon" by the reactionary forces which controlled the Chicago convention when they realize how far hia present position is from that of the Republican nominee and swing to support the Democratic party out of sheer disgust with tbe selfishness of the present Republican party rulers. NOT ALL DISGRUNTLED BY SPEAKER'S REMARKS, Not all of the auditors at the Columbia Club were disgruntled with the Hoover address. It was noticeable that Judge A. B. Anderson of Federal Court and B. A. Worthington, president of the 0., I. ft W. Railroad, known as forward looking men. who sat on the left of the speaker, gave the closest attention to his words and frequently expressed their approval both by their general demeanor and by C.a 'ng of their hands Analyzed In a (ew words, Mr. Hoover's ad dr-.-a was not. generally speaking, an arraignment of the Democrats and pratsof Senator Harding and bis platform, but a solemn warning to the Republican party and Its candidate that if elected to power It will have to carry out the will of the people as It has never carried It out before. And from the reactionary Republican viewpoint, as expressed by the party man quoted above. “That was a better speech after the election than before.”
