NEW YORK POST IS OUT FOR COX AND LEAGUE

Pledges Full Bupport to Democratic Nominee—Bays Pact Is the Big Issue. Washington, Aug. 17.—Under the heading, "For the league of nations and Cox,” the New York Evening Poet, one of the great independent newspapers of the country, editorially pledged today its full support to the Democratic nominees on the national ticket. The Evening Post’s editorial Is as follows: “The paramount Issue in the presidential campaign Is the treaty of peace and the league of nations with safeguarding reservations. Shall America keep faith with her partners in the war? Shall America join with them in the only honorable and effective way of malting peace with Germany? Shall America enter heart and soul upon the work of maintaining the peace of the world as she did upon the task of winning the war? j “To these questions Governor Cox has answered yes and Senator Harding has answered no. If the Evening Post, during the week that has elapsed since Governor Cox’s speech of acceptance, has held in abeyance its declaration of choice between the two candidates, the reason was not that we were in doubt concerning Governor Cox’s affrmative stand on the treaty and the league. We waited only to see whether Senator Harding would hold fast to his policy of negation. j “Senator Harding has maintained his no to the question of America’s honor, duty and ultimate best interests. The issue is thus clearly joined. The Evening Post, believing that it speaks for a great mass of independent American citizenship, pledges its hearty support to the Democratic nominees, in whom it sees embodied the highest aims and ideals of the American people.”
