Hays Gubernatorial Boom I

Shows Up in Indianapolis By ROBERT G. TUCKER. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 24.

What has the appearance of a "band wagon" movement to nominate Will

Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, .as his party's candidate for governor of Indiana, has been started. There wil be little or

nothing to retard its growth unless Hays signals It to stop. The way the

stage is set he can land the nomina

tion merely by consenting to accept

which is a thing no one else has been able to do In the past 30 or 40 years.

However, there Is more back of the present development than the uninitiated understand. They probably regard It as a spontaneous uprising in behalf of Hays in order to reward him for his untiring services to the party in state and nation. As far as Hays

is concerned it is spontaneous, for he Is not working up sentiment in his own behalf. He doesn't have to do

so, for It has existed since the party

came to look upon him as a gubernatorial prospect.

Those who know something of the Inside workings of Republican politics

In this state have been quick to sense

the source of the sudden demand for the nomination of Hays and for the launching of a movement to close the

entries fully a year ahead of the pri mary. EUROPE SEES Continued From Page One.

he resumed his paramount Influence

in the Peace Conference without a single protest, and promptly employ

ed this Influence to overturn tne

whole program of Europe. Covenant Is Symbol. If the Republican party had attack

ed the LeauRe of Nations covenant, If

It had at one time indicated Its de

termination that the United States

should finish the great task in Eu

rone, its equal conviction that Mr.

Wilson's covenant, based upon mis

taken principles, must be totally transformed, the situation would have

been quite different. No government

in Europe cares a red cent about the

covenant of the League of Nations;

onlv Mr. Wilson, a few British states

men like Lord Robert Cecil, who

mainly composed it, regard it as of importance. The people of the var

ious nations have only the vaguest

ideas about it, they take it as a sym bol, not as a legal document. But in the course of the Paris con

ference. the League of Nations ha3

come to be the concrete demonstration of the intention of America to complete its task of winning the war by

eivine the necessary continuing influ

ence to removing the ruin, by lending moral as well as material aid, by con

tinuing to be associated with the na

tions which fought Germany. Europe,

Allied Europe, has understood, now

understands, that American associa

tion can only be had if Mr. Wilson's League of Nations is created; it also understands that if the league is

created, America's support is assured Wilson Is Single Hope

Therefore, when the Republicans

adopted or seemed to Europe to adopt a policy of desertion, a course involv

ing the abandonment or our European allies, Europe naturally con

cluded that Mr. Wilson was their sin ele hnne. their one friend in America

the leader whose victory alone could assure the greater victory which was for them a question of life or death. An attack UDon the League of Nations

leaves Europe cold. Millions of plain people demanded some sort of international understanding which will make future wars impossible, but beyond a vague aspiration there is little clear thinking. In France, the League of Nations idea has enlisted little support, only moderate support in Britain. But the thing that the League of Nations symbolizes namely, American participation in world reorganization, is a thing of infinite value in all eyes. This is what opposition in America seemed at this distance to have. assailed.

Today, Mr. Wilson's influence in Europe, which is irresistible, rests upon the general belief-that he and bis party in America are fighting to have America remain a force for good and for sanity in the world, while his opponents are seeking to have the United States abandon her incompletely finished task in Europe, flee home and erect a barbed wire fence about America, If we should do this, I believe the most sober-minded men over here are satisfied that all Europe would go Bolshevist; certainly that is my own view. Thus, in effect, the campaign in America has taken precisely the one

course which compelled Europe to accept the actual domination of Mr.

Wilson In the Paris convention, to nermit him to nostnone all peace

plans, to confuse, complicate all pro

ceedings, to make everytmng wan. ou his own League of Nations plan, because It attacked Mr. Wilson at the

one precise point where Europe was

bound to support him.

Interest Is Negative. On rpnria with amazement Ameri

can discussion of the provisions of - . . A "V

the League of Nations covenant, ino one in Europe gives them passing notice, save in a few restricted quar

ters. One similarly reads wun amazement the assertion that all Europe is enthusiastically committed to

the covenant of the League or attnna Thin in more nonsense. Eu

rope is Interested in keeping as much fatuity and ignorance out of the covenant as possible. Its interest In

the text Is purely negative, it aoesn i believe in the text as such.

Last of all, one comes to the point of view of Americans In Europe outside of the president's entourage. They recognize that all through the early stages of the war, the president was totally out of accord with their sympathy with the Allied cause; they believe, not too unreasonably, that he cares little now about anything but

abstract academic phases.

But, on the other hand, ir tney ao not sympathize with Mr. Wilson's course, they emphatically do nat with the American opposition to it; they regard with equal amazement and disappointment the course of the oppoHitinn in ripliheratelv adODtine now

the policy that Mr. Wilson followed for three years of war, namely, the policy of Isolation, separationg from Europe, its sufferings, its strivings, its battle, which remains our battle. They look with something approaching dismay at the opposition to the president, the opposition to which these Americans belong, attacking that asociatlon with Europe which Is for them the most vital of all questions. Bolshevism Second Menace. Nor is it different with many Republicans In Europe In the army. They are no more enthusiastic for the president and his later policies than they have been for his early policies. But they feel strongly, deeply, that our task In Europe is incomplete, that many of their comrades have died in vain if we do not fortify their victory with a solid peace which shall enable western democratic Europe to escape Bolshevism as a second menace, become real now the German peril has disappeared. They too, are dismayed by the apparent line of action adopted in America. As long as opposition in America concentrates its attack upon the principle of American association with Europe in the preservation of peace, in the reorganization of life and industry on the old basis Mr. Wilson will continue to exercise undisputed mastery in the Paris conference, In which no man agrees with his abstract principles, all men chafe at his insistence upon postponing peace until he has carried out his own program. But not only that, but after peace comes, every appeal Europe can make to the heart and conscience of America will be made on Mr. Wilson's behalf, if he Is permitted to retain, his present position of sole champion in America of the cause of European salvntinn the first friend of our stricken

allies, for whim American friendship.

moral as wen as material, is a uia.ti.er of life and death. So far, the Republicans seem to be makins the same mistake in Europe

with respect of Wilson that they made en fremientlv In America with respect

of Roosevelt; they are attacking him

at -the one point where he is invulnerable so far as his public is concerned.

Borah Asked to Debate

With Talt in Dayton DAYTON, O., March 24. Arrange

ments are being rapidly shaped for

the public address of William Howard Taft at Memorial hall, Monday evenin, March 31. The League of Nations will be discussed. Taft will arive in Dayton at 4:30 p. m. from Cincinnati. Mayor Switser, directors and a special committee of the chamber of commerce will escort him to the Miami Hotel and at 5:30 there will be a non-partisan citizens' reception in his honor. At 6 o'clock about 100 Daytonians chosen as vice-presidents for the evening will take part in an informal dinner at the Miami. The, Memorial hall meeting will begin at 8 o'clock. In order to afford the people of Dayton the opportunity to hear both side of the stupendous question as presented by proponent and opponent of the plan, the chamber is endeavoring to secure a distinguished antagonist of the League of Nations. Telegrams sent to Senator Lodge by the chamber have brought the response that he will not be able to come to Dayton, inasmuch as he contemplates a vacation. The chamber is also in communication with Senator Wm. E. Borah, one of the most bitter opponents of the proposal to form a League of Nations. Whether Borah accepts the invitation to come to Dayton or not, the chamber is bending every effort to have both sides of the problem presented.

SOLDIERS PATRONIZE OPERA

COBLENZ, March 24. When the Army of Occupation arrived in Coblenz In December a German grand opera company company was giving performances nightly and the soldiers flocked to the theatre in great crowds. Since that time, perhaps fifty per cent or more of the company's business has been due to the fondness of American soldiers for grand opera.
