' NEW LEAGUE ISSUE Democratic Leaders Fear to , Offend His Followers by i Sidetracking Fight. e SEAET, BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Woodrow Wilson's Arm ce day references to the league of nations constitute the biggest event in demo- s for many a day. Lead- | cibly reminded by them can not possibly hope. to side-step discussion of Wilsonian foreign policies at the next national convention. There are few democrats, even among Mr. Wilson’s blindest ad- mirers, who recommend that the lehgue be “paramounted” as an issue fn 1924, or expect that it will be. But the sage of S street has sent forth a stern admonition, as they view it that the party must not attempt to ignore the program on which it went down to defeat in 1920. If it does, it now is certain that there will be @ blast and a protest from Woodrow Wiison that might wreck beyond re- | pair the party's hopes of victory. Tl statements are made upon the rity of men within the demo- cratic high command. Candidates Xone of the that the par campaign « necessity of a constructive American _co-operation affalrs.

To desert the league, or even half-heartedly to espouse it, would, these leaders feel, 1y’ invite the opposition of Wiison element” in the demo- cratic party. That element {s stronger than is generally stood. It still looks upon the statesman as its prophet. It esent the omis- | sion or minenization of the league issue from the democratic national platform as an t of treason” to Woodrow Wilson, which neither he nor his supporters would tolerate in silence. Thus, professional democratic poli- ticians say, if principle does not suf- fice to induce the party to reaffirm ¥ jo_the league, self-interest is 1y to do so. r it is admitted on hands that Woodrow Wilson is sufficient of a power to decree di aster for any platform or any e didate which courts his disapproval The probability is that when the committee on resolutions begins its deliberations at tne national conven- tion phraseclogical ways and means will be sought for propitiating both the ardent pro-leaguers of the Wil- | son type and democrats who would | soft-pedal the issue.
