Favors League Membership, With Reservations. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 23.— James M. Cox of Ohlo, here yesterday on busi- mess which he declared was of a strictly non-political nature, ex- vressed a conviction that the forth- coming presidential campaign would be waged around two issues, and that the Democratic party had a better- than-even chance to win. The issues would be, he said: 1. Foreign policy: The Republican par of ‘“isolation” and the opposition fighting for international participa- tion. 2. Domestic policy: The present ad- ministration defending the ‘unholy alliance of government and business recently disclosed at Washington” and the Democratic party contending for a divorce of that alliance and a tariff that will not make it possible. Silent on Candidates. Of the relative merits of candidates for presidential nomination by his party Cox would say nothing, except that the decision of Ohio to instruct its delegation solidly for him was an act of loyalty that he appreciated He declined also to discuss the possi- bility that prohibition would be a campaign issue. Of the bonus, tax and immigration legislation lately en- actec in Congress he said tersely: “It only shows the deplorable lack of - litical leadership.” PPy “But,” he said, electlon is going to furnish the coun- try with a surprise at the continuing Wilson and affection for Woodrow the developing confidence in the wis- dom of Its policies. many approximated the figures Wil- son had in mind.” = et Not Muckraking for Profit. The Democratic party is not “muck- raking for political profit” in_the in- Vestigations at Washington, Mr. Cox declared, “although the investigations could have been called off about April 1 without diminished and with profit to the country.” Ereatest government in embroiled in the greatest political scandal in histo: he continued. “It has been more than a misfortune to 1he party in power; it has been a na- tional misfortune. ‘We don’t want the Democratic interests promoted at the expense of national disaster. I hope that a way to end it all will come through a dignified discussion of the lssue during the coming campaign. Thomas Jefferson was a pretty wise old fellow after all, when he pro- rosed that the government, rather than individuals, finance political campaigns.” Mr. Cox would like to see this gov- ernment pledged to a foreign policy under which it would enter the league of nations, bringing all other govern- ments into it also under such terms as the Senate might determine. “We have w something w! to replace the league.” he said, it nothing has been offered by those who did most to keep us out of the league of nations,” TAMMANY COMMITTEE standing fast by the standard “the presidential Take the Dawes plan; those knowing the inside of the Versailles peace conference know that the reparations recently fixed for Ger- effectiveness “We have had a spectacle of the the world Only a comparatively few of the eighty-two countles had reported, but a majority of those heard from showed that the delegates were pledged to vote for an uninstructed delegation.

They have set the American people to thinking that manhood in a President is the su- preme quality. They have shaken the confidence of the American peo- ple in so many leaders of béth po- litical parties that they have caused one man to stand out conspicuously s on a mountaintop of high ideals and lofty purposes. They have created a situation which has literally forced the nomination of this one man in the Republican party.

Murphy to administer the affairs of Tammany Hall will remain in power, it is announced, until July 15, when the Democratic national convention will be over.
