World Court Seen
as Big Issue in
1924 Campaign
Action of Congress Key to
Outcome of Plan for U. S.
Taking Part in Inter*
national Court.
((ontinned From I‘Mt« One.)
this field. Both publicly and within
party councils Cox talks out where
others "pussyfoot.”
Cox during his 1920 campaign be
came saturated with the league of
nations. It gripped him. He became
a devotee. He took on a sort of
evangelistic fervor about it, Cox
preaching the league of nations dur
ing the closing weeks of the 1920 cam
paign had ns much fervor as Billy
Sunday preaching the Ten Command
ments.
This identity with the league, and
this absorption in it. which Cox ac
quired during the campaign, is still
with him. Some of the fervor, some
of the evangelistic exaltation disap
peared in the cold shock of the morn
ing after, when the overwhelming
quality of his defeat was recorded.
But what Cox lost in fervor hs has
since made up in a quiet access of
tenacity.
Cox’s study during the two years
and some months since lie was de
feated has led him to believe that a
universal association for the preven
Iion of war is the one and only in
strument that can save civilization, i
He has sat in his office in Dayton
and watched the world pass through ;
crisis after crisis and effort after ef
fort to work a cure. He has tested
each crisis by the formula of the
league of nations, contrasted eac|j
failure to cure with what might
have been done through the league,
and has settled day by day 'more
firmly in the conviction that sooner
or later the world must come around
to the league as the only way out.
He holds this belief as something
fundamental, in the same spirit that
lie holds to the simple business prin--!
clples on which he runs his news
paper*.
Hut Cox. without much doubt, while '
he believes the underlying principle
of the league to the onlv sound one,
has no preconception about-the origi
nal form of it. It can be taken for
granted that be would accept reserva
tions, and would he content, or might
even himself propose, that the next
democratic pjatform should stand for
a modification of the league.
It is a question, however, just how
much power Cox will have in the next
democratic convention and what his
role will be. He may possibly cut a
considerable figure In the platform- 1
making, as an earnest advocate of
courage about this matter of foreign
relations.
Hut as regards the nomination for
the presidency, any one who looks at
the democratic situation as It exists
today, in terms of the actual fads
and in terms of the attitude of im
portant leaders, is compelled to set
down the conclusion that Cox Is out
of it for 1924. It is not possible for .
any survey of tho situation as it ex j
ists today to rev eat any likelihood of
Cox having as many as a hundred '
delegates out of the 1,089 who com
pose the democratic convention.
The reasons for the eclipsing of Cox 1
are two. One obvious one is the over
whelming character of his defeat In
1920. That alone is a serious handi
cap.
Further than this, Cox in that cam
paign did not make the kind of Im
pression and did not t nlist the kind of
personal following baaed on affection
ate loyalty to a dashing leader such
us might have enabled him to salvage
as much out of defeat as some other
men have saved out of similar dis
asters. Cor did not come to the end
of the 1920 campaign as Bryan, for
example, came to the end of his equal
ly disastrous 1896 campaign—defeated,
but nevertheless with a degree of
popular affection and devoted personal
following such as enabled him to get
two subsequent nominations.
But even more fatal to Cox than
these reasons Is the fact that there
has grown up among some of the
democratic leaders a disaffection to
ward Cox personally, which In some
cases is stronger than their emotion
of devotion to him in 1920. Home of
the leaders who were at the very
heart of the Cox movement, some of
the Individuals who were most respon
sible for Cox's nomination, are not
now friendly to him. On the contrary,
(hey are strongly opposed to him. This
statement Includes men whose names
are not widely familiar to the public
but whom politicians Will recognize
by the description.
Part of the reason for this present
disaffection toward Cox on the part
of tile leaders who got him the 1920
nomination lies in the fact that Cox,
after lie got the nomination, did some
tilings against the urgent ndvlce of
these leaders. A few of these leaders
(and It should be made clear that this
does not apply to ail of them' wanted
Cox to be "wet,” and he did not do
tfiat. A few wanted him to dissociate,
himself from Wilson and the league
of nations, whereas Cox's first step in
the campaign was to visit Wilson at
the White House and to espouse the
league most strongly.
But the present disaffection toward
Cox Includes leaders who approved
ills refusal to be *'wet” and his en
dorsement of Wilson and the league,
leaders who completely approved the
way Cox conducted his campaign. As
to these men. the reason for their
present attitude toward Cox is largely
personal. It is biased on human fac
tors, things that have arisen In their
personal relations.
This disagectlon against Cox exims
In his own state, among democratic
leaders In that state who have a
strong voice In the direction of demo
cratic affairs. Without going Into a
local atate political situation In too
much detail, It can be said that Cox
at present is decidedly on the outside
of the Ohio democratic organization
• ml Is the object of strong disapproval
on the part both of leaders within the
organization and other strong men
BUtelde the organization,
Cast fall, when It Ix-came apparent
lhat the Ohio democrats could win
the govsrnorship, some five different
men wanted the governorship nomina
tion and set out to get It. Naturally,
each of them sought the aid of so
conspicuous a man as Cox. In the
ensuing clash of personalities and fac
tions Cog seems to have failed to
avoid getting himself rather badly
mauled. For this and other reasons
the situation la such that If Cox
should go out next year to get the
delegates from his own state he would
encounter Btrong opposition.
In the event that other candidates,
such as McAdoo, or Ford, or Ralston,
or Underwood, should decide to con
test Ohio, Cox might readily lose a
considerable number of the state’s
48 delegates. And even if Cox should
get the nominal endorsement of his
state, it is certain that most of the
personnel of tho delegation, the ac
tual individuals who will gc^ to the
convention, will be unfriendly to Cox.
They will be in the state of mlml that
will give a perfunctory vote to Cox,
but will actually be opposed to him.
After voting for Cox long enough to
fulfill their bare obligations they will
turn to some one else. The net of it
is that in all probability Cox will
neither have the Ohio delegation for
himself—except in possibly a perfunc
tory sense—nor will ho In any degree
whatever control it In the sense of be
ing able to swing it to other men. In
short, as things now stand, Cox
seems unlikely to cut much figure
as a possibility liimself and also un
likely to have much weight In deter
mining who else is to be the nominee.
That is how things stand with Cox
today. But he is a tenacious and re
sourceful man. He may, during the
next 12 months, be aide to pull
himself out of his present position qf
frnpotency. Cox, no 1<k.s than MeAdoo,
Illustrates the old saying that “you
can't keep a squirrel on the ground."
The sentiment for Henry Ford con
tlnues to be not Jess than has been
described in these articles from time
to time for more than a year past. On
the contrary, it grows. The following
paragraph is from a personal letter
from one of the most competent
political observers In the middle
West, one who has no particular af
fection for Ford—one who, indeed,
fears that the Ford movement, if it
cdlftintns to develop, will be accom
panted by agitation for some hair
raising economic and financial
heresies:
"This Ford thing is getting pretty
well inoculated into the body politic,
and, what's more, the inoculation
seems to take in a surprising pro
portion of cases. There seems to he
a feeling that sooner or later some
body is going to take the works apart
and giv* 'em a good cleaning, and X
detect a growing feeling in the.o
parts that, as long as somebody is
going to do it, Ford would be <l&
likely to put the mechanism back Into
working order without losing any of
the nacessary parts as anybody. I
wouldn't be a bit surprised if we were
In for It.”.
