Cox in a statement issued here. Mn part, he says: “The time has come in this cam- Paign when it seoms necesary to Bring before the American jury the Teoorded evidence of the fact’ that the League of Nations in the com- pestte thought of the leading states men of the world to secure peace only, but also that beorporated im tt are all the suggestions that were honestly offered by icading United Blates citizens to accomplish the same md and for the further purpose of Meeting queruloua objections that might arise in partisanship, “It seems but yesterday that all the leaders of America’s thought and Policy were for the League of Na- tions, ‘The past eightecn montha' of | plot and conspiracy, holding up the Vitalization of the world and tearing at the heartstrings of humanity, for Political purposes, are as a night- mare. “In carrying out the partisan con- Spiracy, attempt has been made to enfuse tho ismue by assertions, fre- @vently repeated, that the President Was unwilling t6 confer with the Sen- Ate with reference to the League of Nations. Nothing ts further from the truth, Public attention is directed to e fact that when the Mresident re- lurned from France in February, 1919, with tho first draft of the covenant of the League of jons, he invited all We mombers of the Senate Commit- tee on Foreign Relations and all the gprabere of the House Committee on reign Affairs to the White House 0 a dinver, for a formal consultation, Republichns. and Democrats alike) President Wilson, Parte: nt dis-| Mr, President, If you bring back t Were there, and the Presi @paced the proposed covenany then, ¢ before thie meeting Henry ‘ages, had uttered his defiance ite that peace Should not be if It came an the re- #ull of effort in which the President a directing ha!

Charles BE. Hughes, former Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Sta fered seven @mendments and of them were sponte. Elihu Root, twice a member the Cabinet in succeeding Kepub- Tos Administrations, presented six Bmendments and five of them were adopted, “Then, after the President returned in July. 1919. with the treaty and the final Nraft of the covenant, he ugain inferred with all the members of the ate mittee on Foreign Kela- tions. The conference was public, in the sende that official stenographera Were presént and the questions und answers were given to the newspapers as rapidly as transcripts could be made, At this meeting there devel. oped the visible evidence that the Senatorial ring of the reactionary forces had perfected thelr, partinan conspiracy, that they had no dealre to derstand the covenant and that y Purposed to becloud and confuse the public mind, Thelr attitude was ,* evident and implacable hos- TAFT'S SUGGESTIONS FOUND , VERY HELPFUL. “Previous to this development the President had appeared in nm be~ fore the Senate and had discussed the Qreaty in submitting t—something no Other President had done in more than one hundred years. “Dx-President Taft was one of the men whowe views were asked and His ad- whose criticiam was invited.
