WASHING TON 'Feb. 2': —'!.'he Rc-lence Kelly. general Iw.a; I
publican Publicity Assocmtion. .
through its President. Hon. Jonathan
Bout-rte. Jr., today gave out the follow-‘
int: statement from its Washington
Headquarters:
"To the statement of ex-Pmsldont
Taft that among the men who are ob- '
posing the League of Nations are
“those he would not trust with the
constitution over night." there is the
obviously peitinent replv'that his conti-
dence is neither requested nor requi-Z
site. Under our system of government.
the men in the Senate, who are now
the chief spokesmen against the. nu:-
gosted constitution for a league of 1111-
tions, get thei credentials in the form
of a. vote of trust from the people of
their 89"le states—~people who know
them best. Those constituents are
willing to trust them not only over
night but for a period of six years. Mr
Taft's flippant innuendo would be less
important if the records of the elec-
tion of 1912 did not. disclose the pro-
nounced determination of the country
not to trust him in the VVhiIte House
for another four year.
“Not only by his advocacy of sur
render of national ideals, individuality
and independence. but by his assump-
tion of the autocratic right to dictate
to members of Congress, Mr. Taft has
linked himself in very close associa-
tion with President Wilson.- The 111‘-
rogance of his assumption of personal
superiority of mind and patriotism ist
excelled only by, the docility with
which he would surender the dignity
and power of the nation to the selfish
interests and uncertain changes in the
politics of Europe end-Asia.
"Most of those who have discussed
the project for a league of nations name
done it upon a broad consideration 0!
principles involved. conceding to
others rectitudo of purpose and mute
1‘11: motives.- Mr. Taft alloys the dis-
tinction of being the second to dues-
tlon the ritbto'f other: to n free ex-
pension and a fair hearing. He has
been preceded in his attitude only by
the President. who had the temerlty
to ask that all discussion be postpon-
ed until he had returned and submit-
ted his own views.
"Since Mr. Taft has deemed lit pm
per to dismiss opponents of the lemme
plan with the sweeping declaration
that he Would not trust them with the
constitution over night, it should be
sufficient to reply in kin
